What our travellers say
- I had an incredible experience with Get Morocco Tours. From the very first moment, the team was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. The trip planning was impeccable, allowing us to discover Morocco in an authentic and worry-free way. Every destination we visited was breathtaking, and it's clear they know the country inside and out. The local guides were fantastic, especially Ali, always willing to share their knowledge and make every moment special. Furthermore, the itinerary was perfectly balanced between adventure, culture, and time to relax. If you're thinking of visiting Morocco, I highly recommend choosing them. Thanks to them, I had a wonderful time and have unforgettable memories of this beautiful country. I would definitely repeat the experience with them.Laura MartinezGoogle
- We did a roud trip from Fes to Marrakesh in 4 days. We had a great time. The Desert experience was simply amazing, but all the pack was fantastic. Our guide Mohammed Fayoo, is a fantastic guy. Show us all the good stuff and advices as well. Thank you for everything!!Valter LimaTripadvisor
- From the very first moment, everything was impeccable! Ali and her team took care of every detail: transfers, accommodations, activities, and everything else that came up along the way, with a warmth and professionalism that exceeded my expectations! We felt supported the entire time, with everyone always attentive to our needs! Every experience, from staying in charming riads to sharing traditional meals with locals, was authentic and memorable! What I appreciate most is their passion: you can tell they love what they do, and that comes through in every moment of the trip. Without a doubt, I would choose them again. Thank you for making this adventure unforgettable!Marlene BonvinGoogle
- We booked a 4 day tour with Ali for a group of 5 people. The experience was awesome! We visited places like Ourzazate, Dades Valley, Atlas mountains and the Merzouga desert. The tour was very well organized and we found the accommodation well above our standards. Personally I'd recommend this trip to all my friends who want to travel to Morocco. Ali tried to make the most of our tour at all times and he had a very attentive attitude. Besides, we found him very flexible and friendly, we enjoyed the long talks in the car so much! Let alone all the things we learnt about the Berber culture and traditions (some Berber words as well!). Ali is the best tour guide you could possibly find in Morocco, he's so much fun! We were supposed to make a trip to Essaouira with another company but we enjoyed the 4 day trip to the desert so much that we cancelled the other one to go with Ali even if it was a bit more expensive. Imagine! Ali 100% recommended tour guide!! We need to come back :)June GTripadvisor
