What travelers are saying
If you want to fall in love with Morocco and its people, take this tour! I talked to a handful of other people on our ship, and none of them got to experience half of what we did. We had 3 amazing people helping us: Bilal and Amine handled the guiding and organizing, while the driver handled whisking us through the city in a large, comfortable, air-conditioned van, dropping us off and picking us up at each stop. We got to experience the city markets, traditional food (I recommend adding on the lunch option), multiple amazing sea views, ride camels, and hear about the history as we walked through the old streets. Bilal and Amine were truly attentive to what we wanted to see and made sure we had the exact experience we were hoping for.
Bilal our tour guide was awesome. The only reason I did not give five stars is because he took us to lunch at a restaurant which was great but it took at least 2 hours from our tour time. Way too much in my opinion. We would have preferred just grabbing something quick. We enjoyed the tour otherwise
