What people love about Northern Morocco Tours
- Totally Morocco Tour from Marrakech
This tour was the way to see A LOT of Morocco in the allotted time. It was a great way to get a taste of a bunch of the big cities and some of the smaller ones too, so you can choose which city you can return to next time for a longer stay. Hotels were average- some could have been a little better- but overall I think the necessities of cleanliness, safety, and location were met. Transportation was good. We had some great drivers- especially for the longer hauls(adnan and yosef) who were really great! Guides-were good for the most part. Some went above and beyond and some just did the basic quick tour. Food/included breakfast- mostly at the hotels were pretty good. Most had the standard Moroccan items and some of the American/ European items as well. I actually really liked this tour, it was full of information and gave a good overview of Morocco. Everything went well, I do think they should add some free time to the tours before returning to the hotels or going back on the road- this would really make it great, otherwise I would definitely recommend this tour! Thanks & safe travels!
- North Morocco Adventure
I had really good time with intrepid tour group. My guide was a nice person and it was nice to experience local transportation. Also it was really nice to have free time and choice of other program.
- North Morocco Tour 9 Days
Great itinerary and courteous, safe driver. Hotels/riads were just OK. Tour advertises 4-star accommodations but we were booked at some 3-star accommodations. Would have liked the option of upgrading.

I can tell you straight up that Morocco Magic Trip and Cultural Morocco Tours both come with their own pluses and considerations. Morocco Magic Trip has really nailed down their private tour operations - their 5-day route from Tangier to Casablanca gets consistently good feedback from TourRadar customers who appreciate how smoothly everything runs. The guides know their stuff and keep things organized without any major hiccups. Cultural Morocco Tours has some strong points too, especially when it comes to their guides. Abdul and Abdellatif get mentioned by name quite often in reviews, which says something about how engaging they are with travelers. That said, some folks have run into issues with their hotel bookings and getting from place to place. But here's what's interesting - even with those bumps, many travelers still say they had a great time because the company works hard to show you the real Morocco and adapts tours based on what people want to see and do. They'll adjust things like stopping at specific markets, visiting particular craftsmen and connecting with local families. When you stack them up, Morocco Magic Trip might be your pick if you want everything to run like clockwork, particularly on a private tour. Cultural Morocco Tours could work well if you're more interested in diving deep into local life and don't mind if things occasionally go a bit off-script.
