Experiences to keep for life!! We booked a 7-day private tour with Best Morocco Travel. Hassan was instrumental in providing us with authentic local experiences. Through him, we saw the best in Morocco. He made a special arrangement for us to taste the best couscous in Morocco!! The bbq meats and tagine meals were super-licious!! The accommodation arrangements exceeded our expectations. We had an unforgetable time in the Merzouga desert and Essaouira. After the trip, we agreed with him – should not have spent a previous day in Casablanca. Thank you to Hassan and the agency!

Recommendation Best Marocco Travel My first trip to Morocco and first encounter with Best Morocco Travel. The guys from Best Morocco Travel are friendly, knowledgeable, and they meticulously put together the entire trip. During a few days in Marrakesh, I had an unforgettable experience and a lot of fun. For a next trip to Morocco, I would book with Best Morocco Travel again, and I highly recommend everyone to do so.

Beste service Met Travel with Omari een groepsreis geboekt en we zijn begeleidt door Hassan en Mohammed. Dankzij hun flexibiliteit hebben wij de mogelijkheid gekregen om de dagtrips aan te passen. Ze denken met je mee en geven je de beste tips welke plekken je zeker moet zien. Ondanks de lange dagen, waren ze eind van de dag nog even vriendelijk en gezellig. De volgende dag stonden ze vol energie weer voor ons klaar. Mijn persoonlijke dank aan Hassan en Mohammed. Als je je reis compleet wil maken adviseer ik iedereen om Best Marocco Travel te boeken!

Excellent experience in Morocco During the last months, I’ve been visiting Morocco quite often with groups. The experience, organisation, structures, activities as well as the support provided before, during and after the trip let us have an amazing experience. Drivers are always so skilled, professional and kind: worth-mentioning is especially Mustafa, with whom I travelled twice. Hope to see you soon again!

SIN DUDA UN VIAJE INOLVIDABLE Gracias a Hassan hemos podido ver todo lo que teníamos pendiente por ver. Nos ha organizado el viaje totalmente y nos ha explicado todos y cada uno de los paisajes y monumentos que íbamos recorriendo. En nuestro caso que somos españoles hemos podido comunicarnos perfectamente en español con él. Es una gran persona y estamos seguro de que cuando volvamos a Marruecos repetiremos con él. Ha hecho unas vacaciones inolvidables

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.
