MOROCCO DESERT LUXURY TOUR - We had an incredible night in the desert! The tents were spacious, brand new, and spotless. The bed and linens were cozy and kept us warm through the chilly desert evening. They even provided slippers and a djellaba for extra comfort. The staff was exceptional, always attentive and kind. Our sunset camel trek was magical—exactly what we’d hoped for. Amed, the owner, was laid-back, friendly, and full of fascinating knowledge about the area. The Riad we stayed at in the Dades Gorges was simply outstanding. Anwar, our driver and guide, truly made our trip unforgettable. He was incredibly flexible, personable, and had a deep understanding of his country and all the places we explored.

Trip of a lifetime! - Where do I begin? After some research, we finally decided to book a 7-day trip to Morocco last month with Escorted Morocco Tours, and oh my goodness, it was an absolute dream! Thanks to Mustafa from Escorted Tours and customizing our tour, we felt ready to embark on this adventure. The tour included a private driver, private city guides, breakfast, accommodations, and fantastic Riads. Our driver, Said, was outstanding and picked us up in a 4WD and drove us from Marrakech to Casablanca and everywhere in between! After spending so many days on the road, it was like riding with a friend; Said was courteous and pleasant, sharing aspects about the Berber culture and entertaining us with some great desert blues music. Some of our highlights were the Merzouga Desert with stunning dunes and beautiful camels, trekking us across the desert to the tallest point to watch the breathtaking sunset! The Todgha Gorges, a 300m high mesmerizing canyon, and one of my memorable spots was the petite fossil museum in the small town of Rissani, where we were greeted like old friends by a humble and enthusiastic caretaker who was happy to share his knowledge and fossil-finding skills. It got me rethinking the meaning of a happy and gratifying job; he had been doing this since he was a teenager. Other fascinating places were the Medina souks, the Kasbah of Ait-Benhaddou, the High Atlas Mountains, Ifran, Rabat, and the Great Mosque of Hassan II. Every single place had its own magic, and I have to say, it was worth every penny! Last but not least, the food was terrific! If you're on the fence about Morocco, don't think twice—go! Morocco stole my heart. When we go back, we will book with Escorted Morocco Tours again!

Magical Morocco - We had an absolutely extraordinary travel experience. The high level of professionalism, education, sensitivity and discretion made this short trip as a couple to discover a country rich in culture, colours, flavors and scents, a real gift. All the staff contributed to making our experience special, starting from our extraordinary personal guide-driver, continuing with the knowledgeable guides who showed us the charm and secrets of the imperial cities visited, not least the welcoming Riads that collaborate with your accommodation facility made us feel in a comfortable, familiar and serene environment, in short we felt less like tourists even if only for a week and this for us was a great value. I like to underline a detail that gives a good idea of the attention that this operator pays to its travellers, namely that, during the excursion in the Merzouga desert, which also included a camel ride and a night in the Berber camp, our splendid driver-guide, having learned that my wife was celebrating her birthday that very day, managed to surprise her by celebrating her by candlelight in the desert with a birthday cake accompanied by Berber musicians singing happy birthday. I'm still wondering how he managed to find a birthday cake in the desert.Therefore, I can only highly recommend this operator.

Marvellous Morocco tour - The team at Escorted Morocco Tours were fantastic from the beginning. Customising our tour for three women was easy for the EMT team especially with Mustafa. They also provided excellent accommodation options when we added an extra night at the start and end of our tour. From the pick up on day one with our guide Said, we felt completely at ease and safe with him and his driving on the Moroccan roads with the geographical distances between the cities. Said made our short time in Morocco the best experience possible. He was passionate about immersing us with the culture, history and the people of Morocco. Said also tailored activities, viewpoints and visits to various, credible stores throughout the tour to our preferences and interests which was a really nice touch. A good guide can show you places and things however an exceptional guide enhances your experience those places fully. Our accommodation was luxurious especially at Dar Blues in the Dades Gorge and overnight Sahara desert camp at Tiziri camp. All of our meals showcased the amazing cuisine of Morocco with no stomach issues at all. Said provided excellent dinner recommendations in the bigger cities. The local city guide in Fes took us on an amazing tour showcasing the local artists and trades of Fes. Highlights were the pottery store artnaji and the tannery. If you want to experience Morocco, it’s people, the landscape and culture, you’ll be great hands with the team of EMT. There is so much more of Morocco to see and I’d definitely book with EMT again!We

Top destination Morocco !! - We were greeted by our friendly driver, Anouar at Marrakech Airport, and once we were settled in a comfortable car, we went for our tour adventure in Morocco. We were a small group of 4 friends and we bonded with Anouar as if he were part of our group. He was easy going, friendly, gentle, has a nice smile. He was the perfect driver/guide for us. I am glad we spent much time with him. He was always professional and we enjoyed learning about his country's culture and history. Driving in the cities seems stressful. Anouar handled all of this with ease. I dont always feel safe when other people are driving. Anouar was a good driver, he was not impatient or aggressive. It was very comfortable trip and you could tell Anouar was comfortable in the vehicle and made our trip fun and knew a lot about the history of each place we were at. Thank you Oufouta Tours team for such a great experience and many thanks to Anouar for his great work in making our tour in Morocco so memorable.

First class experience - I wish I had more stars to give you! what a fantastic experience we had. At first we had no idea what to expect for accommodations, being unfamiliar with Riads and Dars, but they were all gorgeous, clean and the staff were all wonderful people. Ismail, our guide, was FANTASTIC, which meant a great deal, as you can imagine for all of those days being in the car with him for so many hours. Both of the walking guides for the 2 days that we did walking tours were so knowledgeable and friendly. We have already recommended this company to everyone. From someone who experienced worked booking tours, I can tell you that this was 1st class!
