Once a lifetime experience - it was an amazing trip. We love the camel ride, which is fantastic. Highly recommended. The visit to the royal palace and the local market is also wonderful experience. Our guide Ahmed is patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful in our shopping experiences.

Great experience - We had a wonderful time on the tour! We had a great driver named Hamza and a funny tour guide named Mossin. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and walked around the city. Highly recommend both the driver and tour guide as they were both awesome and very friendly.

Best driver and guide ever! Do not miss this experience! Do this instead of any cruise ship offering by all means! - This was an exquisite trip with the best driver/guide and also a local guide. We were shown so many things, dropped for a delicious lunch and then went to the places the guide truly understood to be in our hearts for both seeing and purchasing some very special things! It was truly one of the best days of travel and I cannot say enough good about Hamid and Abdellah were truly exceptional and we felt like family. Their passion and true care shined through in every day! If your time in Morrocco is limited and even from a cruise ship - take this tour! You will have an unforgettable day made comfortable too!!!

A Day to Remember in Marrakech - Where do I even begin? Marrakech was incredible, and our trip was made even better by our driver, Hamid, and our tour guide, Abdellah (AKA Cool Abdul, AKA George Clooney)! Our driver Hamid shared important information along the way, teaching us about Casablanca as we left the cruise port and sharing info all the way to Marrakech. We stopped for a camel ride and got some photos, and then we shared some Moroccan tea with our guides. Then, we were on to Marrakech where we met up with Abdellah, who speaks perfect English, is a wealth of historical knowledge, and is full of very profound wisdom that he shared along the way. He felt like a member of the family - such a kind and sincere and genuine human being. At the conclusion of our tour, he brought us back to Hamid, who drove us the 2 1/2 hours back to the cruise terminal. We enjoyed Hamid so much that we skipped out on a prepaid tour the following day just so we could book with him again to go to Fez. Hamid is such a wonderful, kind person who also felt like a member of our family. We will always remember our day in Marrakech and the guides that made it possible. If we ever return to Morocco (or should I say “when?”), we will absolutely use them again!

Wonderful & Beautiful Adventure! - Wonderful and beautiful adventure! I would definitely recommend a private tour versus a group tour. Our driver did not speak English, however, he used a translation App and called his colleagues to ensure comfortable communication. Our Tour Guide in Marrakesh was extremely knowledgeable and fun. More time shopping in the souks and medinas would have been optimal. And, the camel ride was epic!

Day Trip: Casablanca to Marrakech - This was such a great trip! Our driver Mehdi was a perfect gentleman; professional but with a wicked sense of humor! He kept us laughing! Once we reached Marrakech we were warmly greeted by Idar. His knowledge was endless and we were left with a real feel for the local culture and history. I must add that his kindness shone through over and over. This was our first trip to Morocco. We were two women traveling alone and Idar made us feel most comfortable and welcome. Five stars. Highly recommend.

The best of Marrakech - Completed the tour today with driver Wafdi and tour guide Abdou. Both were very professional. At one point I got lost (through no fault of the guides) and timely communication ensured our prompt return

Marrakech Day Trip - The trip was great, only complaint is the seats on the van were a bit cramped & the a/c was only working in the middle part of the van, not the vents directly over our seats making it a bit warm on the trip.

Very long trip - I was in Casablanca for a business trip and had a couple of days to myself. I decided to go see Marrakech since I was in the area, and I might never have the chance again. Booked the trip via Travel Advisor. The communication from Premium Transfers and Tours was good. I received all the details and instructions to meet the driver. Driver was on time in the morning and the Sprinter Van was very nice. I got paired up with two other couples and another solo guy from Germany. Right off the bat, the Brazilian couple was 10-12 minuted late coming down from their room. I say this to remind you that as a group you are only as fast/efficient as your slowest (and sometimes inconsiderate) member of the tour. For approx $300 more I could have went solo. The drive to Marrakech is very long (3 hours one way). That is a lot of time to spend on the road for a day-trip. We stopped at a gas station for a bathroom break and the opportunity to get a snack or drink. There was bottled water available for us in the van. I have to say the condition of the highway in Morocco is unbelievable. The roads are so well maintained, they seem brand new. Buttery smooth ride the entire way, I was amazed. I wish the roads in Texas were as nice. Our first stop was the camel ride. It is in a field across the street from a golf course resort. They suit you up in some local garb - long blue kaftan and a blue head wrap. The garments had been washed and were clean. Then they load you onto the camels; the camels are all tied to each other in a line. They lead you around the field for about 30 minutes and they will take your picture with your phone if you like. Honestly, I had enough of the ride after approx 3-5 minutes. Did it, checked the box. As we approached the starting spot, one of the guides started saying in a low voice that he would appreciate a tip. He wanted it then instead of at the end because then his "big boss" who was leading the caravan wouldn't see. I couldnt get to my pockets because of the kaftan so I tipped him at the end. I dont think anyone else from the group tipped. Next we went to the Mosque in the town center. There we recieved a short briefing of the mosque. We then met our tour guide (different from the driver). We went o the Bahia Palace and got the tour (entry cost was 120 MAD per person - approx $12 USD. Bahia Palace was interesting but not spectacular. It also had a lot of damage from the 2023 Morocco earthquake which they were working to repair. Next we went to a square (Mellah) that had quite a few cafes and small shops. We were given 1hour and 15 minutes to eat and look around and were instructed to meet back up in the square. The Brazilian couple was late again and complained they only got an hour to eat. Next we walked through the old market area. It reminded me of an elementary school field trip. We walked all through the market in a line. He stpped at a couple of places to show us certain artisans: wood working, metal working, yarn dyeing. But for the most part he never stopped. It felt like if you stepped into a shop you might get left behind. The tour guide offered to take us to several other places (the secret garden, and a couple of other spots) but the Brazilian and the Chinese couples had no interest, and the German guy said nothing. So we skipped those. He took us to a large open square where there were snake charmers and monkey handlers but we walked non-stop through there to get to the bus. All this to say that we were at the mercy of the least interested of the group. I suppose I could have spoken up but I was the only one apparently that wanted to continue. Was the trip worth it (approx $120 USD)? Depends. If the goal is to say you have been to Marrakech then yes. If your goal is to spend some time really soaking in some of the experiences Marrakech has to offer, then I would say no. Felt a bit rushed and the tour guide left a lot up to the group - which never works out in everyone's favor. I feel like there should be an itinerary and it should be stuck to. There was an itinerary (which i paid for) but it was altered by other members of the group. Besides the Bahia Palace, you can get the same market experience at the Medina Market in Casablanca without the 3 hour drive. I saw all the same stuff in both markets. So we loaded up and headed back to Casablanca. Another 3 hour drive. It appeared to me that our driver was reading a book on his phone while driving. But we arrived safely back in Casablanca nontheless. I definitely would not do it again. But I guess I would sort-of recommend to do it once.
