  We just returned from our 17 day tour in Morocco, organized in great detail and with perfection by Aziz (MSI Travels), and delivered with wonderful care by our guide/driver Aymane. We discovered a civilized and friendly country, eager to welcome tourists and ready to offer them a warm hospitality. We had an excellent experience preparing the trip, as we custom made it. Aziz was able to offer us all the trips we wanted to take, he chose our accommodations based on our wishes but added his knowledge of the country and rich culture. We felt it will be a successful trip just by reading the material that he prepared for us before we started. Our great surprise was to discover wonderful clean cities, an amazing Islamic architecture, picturesque riads, the majestic Atlas mountains and the experience of being in the desert for two nights - together with getting there by camel, driving an ATV and a 4 x 4 through the dunes and watching the most amazing sunset. Our experience was so good because we had an excellent tour guide, who delivered all the plans with high professionalism. The much younger Aymane was like a parent to us, taking care of us and guiding us everywhere. Albeit his young age, he is a mature guide. There were no mistakes or omissions in our tour, his driving was impeccable. Our small group of 6 was comfortable travelling in a spacious Mercedes van and he granted us any of our wishes. In each of the cities we had local guides to help us discover the rich history and culture of the place. MSI was able to customize the trip that was perfectly tailored to our group needs. Morocco proved to be a tourist friendly country that deserves to be fully discovered.

  Right information at the right time means you can relax and enjoy. From the trip planning and daily organization and travel you can relax, because you are in good hands. Take advantage of the incredible and detailed itinerary. It is great for you and your family. My parents were able to follow along with our trip and talk about where we had been and where we were going. I also used it to map the daily travel and look at more pictures of destinations online before we left. Altogether, I felt very well prepared for our trip. Each day includes a discussion of the coming day including schedule, planned stops and what you should expect to see. It also includes recommendations on what to see and do and eat in your free time. The local guides were very knowledgeable and super helpful in learning about the local history and current culture. Enough for the benefits of a really good plan, but the most interesting afternoon was when we extended our local tour in Fez to visit the poetry capital of Morocco. If you can fit this into your trip it is well worth a few hours of your time. I look forward to doing it again for the parts of Morocco we missed on this trip!

  The wonderful team at MSI Travels created an unforgettable two week Moroccan custom trip for us. Every aspect of the trip was superbly planned and executed. From the frequent back and forth communication to create the trip - verifying the cities to go to, length of time in each city and what activities to do while in the city - to the airport pick ups and drop offs. Our tour guide and driver, Aziz is and was exceptional. His kindness, detail orientation and upbeat personality made the sometime long drives fun. Plus his empathy and caring was appreciated. I had a minor health consideration and he was so kind and thoughtful checking up on me to ensure I had everything I needed. Also all the guides in the respective cities that MST set up for us - were exceptional. In fact the guides in Fez and Morocco went over the time allowed and clearly enjoyed their roles. I would highly recommend this company, and I would definitely book through them again.
