    What can I say, our 8 day Morocco and Sahara tour perfectly covered all the best bits of Morocco highlighted by the overnight Glamping in the Saraha! This is a must do, camel riding at sunset and plenty of time to sit in the desert taking it all in, unbelievable sight not to be missed, but ensure you upgrade it is well and truly worth it. As it turns out we were the only 2 so it felt like personalised service which was a bonus. Our guide Said was so engaging and knowledgeable about every city and place of history we visited, he was amazing, he made the tour the awesome holiday it turned out to be and without his kindness, humor, and flexibility it would not have been the same, he even sourced a chemist when I needed one! Though there was a lot of driving it resulted in seeing so much more that we expected. We have happily recommended this tour and tour company Morocco Joy Travel as we had no complaints at all, from Said, the accommodation, the inclusions and the points of interest. The Kasbahs and Rihads we stayed were very much in keeping with the Moroccan natural decor and hospitality. This really was a 5 star tour, I'd love to return and see so much more of Morocco with this company. Thank you Said, and thank you Ali for making contact to see everything was ok before we left even though we hadn't met

    Ali ensured that we had an amazing time during our visit to Morocco. The trip was well paced, informative and fun! He took extra care to ensure that we had the opportunity to see and experience everything that we had hoped to. I highly recommend booking with Morocco Joy Travel. Everything was seamless, we were well taken care of and he helped to create some incredible memories! This was our first trip to Morocco and it exceeded all of our expectations. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks so much, Ali!

    The tour we did was actually 12 days , a private tour and it was MAGNIFICENT! Ali is absolutely wonderful, knows beautiful hidden gems to stay and to eat and he is patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, well informed and he made this adventure really amazing. His planning made this trip a breeze, beautiful Riads, excellent city tour guides, delicious foods, gorgeous scenery, so fortunate to have him show us the beauty of Morocco and its people. Choosing Morocco Joy Travel was the best decision not only because it was a 5 star experience but I made a friend at the end of this tour! Thank you Ali for the most memorable adventure and for being such a fantastic person! Sonia and Jeff

    My wife and I actually did a 14 day tour that was arranged through Ali for Joy Travel. He was extremely accommodating and responsive to our needs. If you travel as a couple, as we did, or in a small group, you can tailor your journey. The tour was a wonderful experience. So much variety and contrast in this wonderful country. Please take at least two weeks to allow yourself a chance to fully appreciate the beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the desert, the beaches, the kaleidoscopic medinas, the food, and most importantly, the people.

    Morocco is spectacular - the people, history, food and culture. Our guides, Hassan and Hamed, ensured that we had a wonderful experience. They were attentive, kind and organized with a great sense of humour. I would recommend Morocco Joy Travel to anyone visiting Morocco.

    Had a great trip. Ali was very responsive and always available if we had any questions and ensured our comfort throughout the trip. Hasan, who was our driver through most of the tour, was a gem of a person. He was very flexible and attentive to our needs and interests. He made sure to help us with any questions we had and provide us with advice. Overall the tour was very well organized. We got exactly what we signed up for. The locations were very diverse and beautiful. In particular this tour would interest anyone who was looking for something of a mix of natural landscapes and historical sights with a strong flavour of local culture. Each place had its own uniqueness which ensured that the tour never felt repetitive. The accommodation was generally pretty good. The hospitality of our hosts and generally the locals cannot be overstated. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour.
