Travelers' reviews about Morocco

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. It had a rough start. The driver who picked me up in Tangier seemed lost in Chefchauen and kept asking for directions and turning around. He dropped me off at the wrong gate in Chefchauen. He told me to ask the nice people for directions to the riad. One of the locals said he didn't know where the riad is, so I asked him to call the riad for directions. It turns out that the riad is located at a different gate. So I had to take a taxi to the correct gate. I didn't have the same problem with the drivers who picked me up in Chefchauen and Fes. They made sure there was someone to help me get to the riad. The guided visits were informative, especially when it came to showing me the way back to the riad without getting lost. It was the right length, so that I have time to explore on my own. I was 2hrs late to the guided tour of Ait Ben Haddou and half an hour late to the guided tour of Marrakesh. I have no problem being late as there are extenuating circumstances that prevents from arriving on time. However I was not pleased with the fact the guides were not informed of this. I told the driver to call the hotel that I will be late. I don't know if he did or not. But what I did know is that guides were waiting at the hotel until I arrived. All the riads I stayed at were exceptional, especially the one in Chefchauen. I felt like I was living like a queen.

No one will ever know your travel style! It changes due to airline availability, level of food and board, adventure style, number of people traveling, timing... Get my drift? Evaneos.com recommended travel expert Brahim for us. From the first inquiry  Brahim who spoke and wrote perfect english was on it. We started planning our journey and while we had read a little he knew so much more. You're planning in summer? Please postpone, it can be 120s south of the mountains, desert and valleys. Multiple family members from different global positions, no worries, he'll plan the pickups, overnight accommodations and departures.Enjoy adventure and personal/family time,lol, he will include them. Guides, done. All was easily communicated and updated with links to a grander travel plan allowing modifications, and personal nuances.     One thing we couldn't realize we're the distances from point-to-point.  Our carefully selected driver Rashid spoke English having been educated in Morocco and desirous to explain and explore the uniqueness of his country with tourism in mind. A 7 seat spotless minivan for the 4 of us to sleep or watch the tiered verdant valleys, rough Rif mountains, valleys, plains and buttes, desert oases and gorges ending in the majestic peak of the Atlas mountains was perfectly selected. Not one 'control-stop' by the 'guardians' of the state in this King led monarchy occured to check the vehicle or personal papers occured. Timing for stops for coffee or tea and typical Moroccan egg sandwiches, salads and tagine lunch's; exploring lively ancient Medinas, saharan Berber and Muslim kasbas, scarf shopping before our camel ride (and sand storm), who to visit and where; Imperial cities and holy towns, Roman ruins, Imperial Cities and hikes over the Rif, through Toda oasis, Toudra and Dades Gorge, over the Ziz river oasis, tiny clean and modest dars, splendid riads, magnificent kasbahs, guided tours of cities, medinas, suggested restaurants and eateries, cautions and so much more were  choreagaphed by Brahim and his talented Band of Brothers! Brahim or a cohort was available to arrange modifications as needed due to personal tastes, delays and just life among the great mix of Berbers, Muslim, Christians and Jews with African, Middle Eastern, Maghreb and Iberian-Moorosh blends emanating from the first born homo sapiens of our 'modern' (70,000) year anthrocene.  Brahim and all the layers he worked with above and below him were great. We recommend him and his recommendations without reservation. 5 stars plus!

The journey in the desert was one of the best part of the trip. I also enjoy the visit of the gorge, the visits of the kasbas. We had the best transporter Rachid. A safe driver, polite, punctual and educated.

My favorite moment was the camel ride in the desert 🐪

Marrakech was wonderful especially with our very knowledgable guide. There is so much history to see and of course the Souk. The Riad Chergui is a dream of a hotel, both the place and the lovely staff. Favourite places include Kasbah du Toubkal and the guided climb towards Mount Toubkal, Todra Gorge and the cave hotel, Auberge La Festival and of course Merzouga Camp in the Sahara. The highlight in Fes was the hotel Riad Fes in the Medina; the hotel is fabulous and the staff are delightful. The most memorable highlight for me was riding the camel into the Sahara - a wonderful experience!

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we felt cared for, everyone wanted us to enjoy the trip and get the most out of it. The manager of the riad in Marrakesh wanted to ensure we got the most out of his beautiful city and our driver through out the trip wanted to ensure we saw as much as possible and felt safe and secure at all times. The itinary was well thought out and well planned.

We really enjoyed our trip through Morocco with a private driver. Highlight was the camel ride and overnight in the sand dunes.. After a while there seemed a lot of repletion in the type of sights at each city, with their medinas, casbahs, palaces, souks, tangines, Jewish quarters, mosques, etc, and in hindsight it would have been nice to include a bit of the modern Morocco. A beautiful country!

We went to Casablanca - Rabat - Chefchaouen - Fez - Essaouira and back to Casablanca .. Every town had its charm . our driver was excellent in pointing out typical stuff from Morocco, he took good care of us .Told us what to do - gave us a phone so we could talk to him in case of emergency when he was not around ....He was EXCELLENT

I traveled to Morocco, Marrakech. I spent time in Imlil and Agafay Desert - both were surreal, serene and adventurous. My guides were knowledgeable and very very courteous. The best part was riding a camel in the desert and of course the food. Definitely LOVED this trip, Evaneos for planning it around my needs and scheduling everything to perfection. I definitely recommend Evaneos

I researched highlights of Morocco and made contact with Brahim online. He promptly called me and we spoke easily. He helped me with distances to create the best tour within our time frame without being rushed. We started in Rabat, to Fez, Meknes including Volubulis. After our return from the desert camp, we chose to stay a day and overnight at Dar Hassan. The owner arranged for one of his staff to give us a walking tour of the town and oasis. They were just great people, full of kindness. That one day stay made the long ride to Dades the next day even more enjoyable. After Dades we continued on to Marrakesh and then a few days in Essouira where we were both surprised with an upgraded room courtesy of Brahim to celebrate our anniversaries and 35 years of friendship. The rooms were spectacular and the view was beautiful. Something we'll never forget. Our tour ended when our fabulous driver (who we said goodbye to in Marrakesh) surprised us in Essouria to take us to Casablanca. Was so wonderful to see our 'Mo' again! Thank you again Brahim for making the trip so wonderful. ♥

Basically from Marrakech to the desert to Fes to Chefchaouen to Tangier. The driver from Marrakech, Mohamad, was very good and helpful. The guide in Marrakech (also Mahomad) was also very good. The other guides and drivers did their jobs well - no complaints. We enjoyed the medinas and souks, and most accomodation was excellent.

I found out about Evaneos through a co-worker who happened to go to Morocco a week after we decided to visit Morocco for our honeymoon. We had a two week vacation. The day after our wedding we landed in Casablanca, and headed straight for Rabat via private van provided by Evaneos where we stayed for two days. Next we traveled to Chefchaouen for two days. We flew out of Tangier to Ibiza for four days (a trip booked separately) and returned to Morocco the following Monday and traveled to Fes. We stayed in Fes for two days, then headed to the Sahara where we stayed one night in a beautiful desert camp. We spent a night in Ait Ben Haddou and visited Ouarzazate on our way to Marrakech for the final two nights of our trip. We hiked to see the waterfalls of Akchour in Chefchaouen. We rode camels in the Sahara and took a hot air balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains outside of Marrakech.

Morocco is a very safe country to for foreigners to travel. There was never a time where we did not feel unsafe. We experienced a lot of events we would never have been able to organize; eg. travel and hiking to a Berber village, meandering through many medinas

We had a blast, probably because the weather was so bad, the storks were amazing, and it was interesting to see another side of Africa.

I loved Skoura and Sahara - great memories! The food throughout the trip was delicious!
