    Lack of tour information while travelling. Felt the tour was aimed to purchase goods from vendors rather than learning about the culture as indicated in the brochure. However, Nora was a very interesting and knowledgeable tour guide.

    While I loved Morocco, I cannot recommend the Discover Morocco and will not use this company again. The itinerary changed without notification, and we were never quite sure of what we were going to do or see each day. My party consisted of two people, and the driver (tour guide) catered to my younger counterpart. He continually offered only her refreshments and excluded me from site information conversations. So much so that the driver actually told me to “be quiet” as I attempted to ask a question. While driving on narrow and zig-zag roads, I had to ask the driver to keep his eyes on the road as he was looking back at the other passenger. The pearl in the arranged hotels was Dar Ahmel in Dades - beautiful with an incredible staff. Unfortunately, the same does not hold for the Hotel Volubilis in Fez. The service was lacking, and the premise felt dated. When we arrived at our last hotel in Marrakech, there was no vacancy for us. The main benefit of booking a tour with a travel company is avoiding these complications. While Discover Morocco arranged for accommodations at another hotel, we spent three and half hours waiting.

    Had an enjoyable experience! Typically would have wanted more communication or precise details a little further in advance. Just my personal preference. Sometimes I didn’t find out about the plan for the next day until very late the evening before. However the owner Omar and his staff were quick to respond and provided me everything I needed. They even helped me find a Covid test and helped me print out some documents I needed before my return flight. The accommodations were all perfectly reasonable. The price for the tour was spot on and I would recommend it to my friends. Now to some special people. Our main tour guide Younes was great. He has a wonderful sense of humor and great knowledge of Morocco. He cracked us up with his jokes all day long. Driss our driver was fantastic. He is incredible caring and a great human being. He accommodated us for everything we needed and was also quick to respond every time. These two guys also helped me grab things things from the mall after my luggage was lost from the airport. I appreciate both of them so much.

    This tour was a completely amazing experience! Our guide Issam and our driver Iddris made sure the whole tour went flawless. They even went through the hassle to change the itinerary so we saved almost a full day so we could see more! In short it was perfect for an unforgettable experience!
