June 4, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Bask in glorious sunsets and channel your inner sheik while you ride a meandering camel across the windblown dunes of Erg Chebbi. Merzouga, a small village in southeast Morocco, gives visitors a taste of desert life, and treks to nearby villages will reward you with African revelry, including music and dance. Ask your hotel to arrange a guided tour.

We did a 6 day trip starting in Marrakech and finishing in Casablanca. I definitely recommend booking with Morocco Soul Tours. Communication was great from the start as it took some time to tailor the trip to everything we wanted to do. Youssef was our driver and guide and he was fantastic and had a great knowledge of Morocco. We got to stay a night in the Sahara and had a local guide show us around Fes. We booked our own hotels though as found that it was cheaper that way. The car was clean, safe, and comfortable. Overall, recommend booking with them. It is difficult to hit all of the spots on your own given the size of the country and how far places are from each other. You need a car to get around, and recommend a driver that knows the area.

My experience with Toubkal Guide strongly demonstrates that it is the premier guide service for Toubkal trekking. Due to Covid, I had to reschedule my trip several times. Throughout this process Jamal patiently and kindly responded to numerous e-mails and changes in plans. My trip with Toubkal Guide went without a hitch. Jamal himself met me at the train station in Marrakech, and transported me to Imlil Lodge. The lodge met all expectations. Beautifully decorated in the Berber style, it was a treat just to experience the lodge. Food was excellent and plentiful. My guide on the trek was Ibrahim. I could not have asked for a better guide. Ibrahim did everything in his power to make my trip a safe and successful experience. If you are going to trek with Toubkal Guide soon, ask for Ibrahim. Jamal, too, assisted so kindly in all aspects of my stay. He is an outgoing person, with a warm personality. Jamal and his staff are Berber. What better way to truly experience this fascinating culture than through Berber people themselves. Having been vaccinated, and armed with a negative PCR test for Covid, I had no problems whatsoever, entering Morocco. Jamal can also refer you to an approved testing site within a short walk of the Medina for your return test. The test cost approximately $60 US, and was ready the same day it was administered. Now is a wonderful time for a visit. The trail is not crowded, the weather is warming, and the Moroccan people are so welcoming. What a memory!

Wanderlust helped my family and I to plan a multi week tour through Morocco, including stays in Tangier, Fes, Chefchaouen, Marrakech, Essaouira, and others. Ibrahim, our driver and primary guide, helped us get throughout the country and took spectacular care of us like we were his own family, to include my toddler who began waking up every day asking to "Ride in the bus with Mr Ibrahim". Megan proposed a great itinerary, which allowed us to have a relaxing family adventure. Thank you for such a memorable time!

I'm a solo traveller so was hoping the trip was going to be ok and it was! He minibus arrived 5 minutes early, lovely driver, spoke English, we collected other members of the group and left Marrakech at 8.30, stopping at an argon co-operative en route (it was actually really interesting, with delicious samples and NO pressure to buy!) and a cafe for toilets and coffee. We arrived in Essouria about 11.30, the driver told us where to be at 4pm, showed us where he port wa, the medina and the beach and off we all went. It is perfectly safe for a sole female traveller, you only get the usual stall-holders trying to sell you things but they don't hassle you.

We booked a 3 day tour to the Sahara , We are two girls and felt extremely safe the entire time.we have the most incredible stay in morocco due to this tour it was completely over our expectations ! Jamal our tour guide and Omar, our driver were the best! They were both so nice and were so informative explaining all the sights along the way. All the towns we passed through were so beautiful but my favourite part of the whole trip was the desert. We went to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi Dunes and got to spend a night in tents in the Sahara Desert! We got to ride a camel to the desert camp and that was the funnest experience. All the riads we stayed in and the restaurants were fabulous choices. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company MCL . Jamal was so helpful in planning the whole experience and was always readily available on whats app. We truly cannot wait to go back to Morocco.

Worst service and agency EVER !! I booked a one day trip to Essaouira with this agency 14 days ago, they confirmed with me the availability, I gave them all the information needed and confirmed the pick up location. I contacted them 2 days and 1 day before the trip to re-confim and they confirmed I also asked about another contact number I can call in case they don’t show up and never got the number, I was totally right because they never showed up !!! How unprofessional and disrespectful is this ?? no one showing up, no one answering my calls nor my messages ?? Worst thing is that they were online, read the messages I sent right in the moment in WhatsApp and didn’t have enough respect to say anything. I just don’t understand why would you confirm and re-confirm an activity and just never show up nor give an explanation?? Really shame on you !! I was planning for this trip for so long and being treated this way was definitely the worst service ever. So if you want to save your time and holidays plans never book anything with the agency!!

I went to Morocco with my family in early April 2019. Recently found the business card for this tour company which prompted me to write this late review. We had a lovely tour with our driver Driss Razyn. He was friendly and easy going with our spontaneous plans. He stopped the car at many stunning places so we could experience the beautiful countryside and took us to nice local restaurant for lunch. Overall a great day trip, one of our highlights of the whole holiday. Many Thanks to Driss and Nice Day Tours.
