The Top Morocco Tour For 10 Days
This was an unforgettable tour. Omar is a great guide and was super friendly and open. I feel very blessed to have experienced Morocco with someone who is genuinely passionate about sharing their culture.
The tour itself was broad yet intimate and immersive. I would highly recommend it for travelers of all kinds. Shukran
Best Decision Ever!
This was my first trip to Morocco and I was so lucky to have booked a tour with the Morocco Easy Tours. Initially, my friend and I booked the 10-day tour from Fes and back via the Sahara Desert also a day trip to Chefchaouen.
Our guide Mohammed was the absolute best! He was extremely knowledgeable about Moroccan history, he was really helpful, and was a pleasure to be around. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and enjoyed ourselves.
Because we were so satisfied with the first few days of our time with Mohammed, we also booked a day tour of Fes and changed our day trip to Chefchaouen to an overnight trip.
Morocco Tours Agency has great connections with riads. All of our accommodations booked by the company were top-notch. Overall, make your life easier and book a tour with this group!
