    We loved our tour. Ismael our driver was attentive to our needs. The riads we stayed in and the experiences we had were great for introducing us to traditional Morocco. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    · December 17th, 2024
    My wife and I just did a 8 day tour through Marocco with Private Desert Tours and we had the best experience possible! We started from Marrakesh and went to Merzouga Desert, Fes, Chefshouan, etc. Everything was perfect. The hotels (Riads and Casas) were amazing, the transportation was very comfortable, we had guides waiting for us in every main city and tourist location, the food was incredible. I extra thanks to our guide and driver Ismail. He made everything even more special. Not only an amazing guide and driver, but great DJ and friend. Look no further! You just found the best option available for Marocco tours.
