“I just returned from a 14 day Morocco trip organized by Detourmorocco. Ibrahim was our friendly driver he was more than focusing on his driving; he was a knowledgeable guide, he speaks good English, he was able to answer all our questions and explain to us the Moroccan culture. My wife and I started our Morocco tour from Casablanca, and then traveled to my wife’s dream city, the blue city of Chefchaouen in the north, we have also visited the capital city of Morocco. What most interested me in this tour is Fes with its historical places. Also, the highlight of this tour is our trip to the Sahara Desert, one of the kind experiences we had so far, we rode the camels and we have spent a beautiful night in a luxury camp, which was beyond our expectations. We spent some time in Marrakech; we have done some shopping in its traditional markets. The accommodations were wonderful, often in beautiful riads in the medina. To sum up my experience with Detourmorocco, we had what we have been told. I highly recommend their service..
“My fiance and I had an excellent experience with DetourMorocco. For my first visit to Morocco I needed help in planning logistics, find good palaces to visit, and choosing hotels. I contact Detour Morocco on their website and I was impressed how fast they answer my emails I am highly satisfied with all aspects of the process from planning to execution. Every detail of the tour went as described and everything in Morocco was excellent. The hotels selections were superb and the itinerary was well organized. I would use Detour Morocco again without hesitations.
“I just returned from a trip to Morocco with my husband and my kids. We visited Morocco for the first time. We booked a 3 day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes with Detour Morocco, I was fascinated by how flexible the team was as answering my questions via the email. This private tour exceeded our expectations from the very start. Our driver/guide Ibrahim collected us at the exact time from our Riad. The selection of accommodations was terrific, especially in Merzouga, we stayed in a luxury camp located in the heart of the desert. Our trip was incredibly magical,
Thanks to all involved making our vacation awesome. I would like to say if you are visiting Morocco, I recommend Detour Morocco for safe and professional experience.
“I extremely loved my experience going with Detour Morocco on this group tour. I learned so much about myself and got to know new fellow travellers who are passionate about traveling the world. In this group tour, I loved the Moroccan food, the variety of landscapes, the locals, and the EVERYTHING! I can’t wait to back again to Morocco. I really missed everything! If you are planning your trip to Morocco, I recommend this company they are very professional and they really know what their clients need. I don’t believe I would have had the same experience if I had not contacted Detour Morocco.
