Highly recommended 👌🏽!!!

We have used Yassine's services throughout our stay in Marrakech. Every day a nice and enjoyable day to be on the road with him. Very nice, helpful and reliable and always thinks along to make his guests feel at home. And also a very pleasant and safe driving style in a beautiful and comfortable car. We recommend Yassine to everyone when you want to visit Marrakech!

Best Tour Guide EVER

There are no words for how much we appreciate the hardwork, guidance, honest, and happy attitude that Yassine gave during this short trip. He made it far better than I and my husband could have asked for. It was an unexpected working relationship but we are SO grateful we met him and how made Morocco feel like home. He found affordable deals for us for the Atlas Mountains, spa, hot air ballon riding, and he toured us around to local spots too. As a travel concierge myself, color me impressed! I will be directing people to Yassine for sure 🥰 and excited to come back and explore more with Yassine as our guide.

Unforgettable Experience with the Best Tour Company in Marrakech!

Our trip to the Atlas Mountains was nothing short of magical, thanks to Yassine and his incredible tour company. This was hands down the best tour we’ve ever been on! Yassine, the owner, is a true gem—he was patient, attentive, and went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. His dedication to making sure everything was perfect is unmatched. The Atlas Mountains themselves were stunning, but Yassine’s personal touch made the experience unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was planned to perfection. We were so impressed that we also booked other activities through him, and every single one was amazing! What makes Yassine stand out is how effortlessly he brings your dream trip to life. Just tell him what you’re looking for, and he takes care of the rest. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. If you’re heading to Marrakech, don’t even think twice—this is the tour company to choose. I’m already counting down the days until I return, and there’s no doubt I’ll have Yassine plan everything for me again. A flawless experience from beginning to end. Highly, highly recommend!

Best driver in Marrakech!

Yassin is a driver I recommend with my eyes closed. The children and I were delighted with our day in Imlil as well as our day in Ait Ben Hammou. Extremely serious and professional.

A fantastic day with happy way tours!

We had a fantastic experience with Happy What Tours! Yassine the driver is very friendly and pleasant! He picked us up at Jemaa El Fna after which we drove to the Ourika Valley. We had a very nice meal there and got a good tour from a local guide. Then we drove to Agafay for a guad tour, which Yassine had also organized for us. I would recommend everyone to book a tour through Happy Way Tours! Shohkran bezaf! We will definitely come back.

Best for French/Arabic - Not for English speakers

This tour is best for those who speak French/Arabic. The bus driver spoke English but he was not a tour guide. The Berber guide barely spoke English. He'd carry on 5 minute convos with the F/A speakers about something i thought seemed interesting. Then when I asked him to repeat in English, he'd say something silly like "that is for water...look over there that's a Quince tree" I learned nothing about Berber culture other than what I could guess with my eyes. Half of the tour group did not speak F/A so we were all frustrated. The Argan oil mak Women were lovely and had a good English speaking guide but the prices were highly inflated. The riverside restaurant we went to was low quality and very touristy. There were nicer ones further up the river we saw while hiking. As we paid for this ourselves, I feel they could have chosen one of those. The hike was rather strenuous, very steep. I was saddened to see that the waterfall area was filthy - litter and feces everywhere. All in all it felt like i hired a driver, not a tour guide. Somehow it all felt extremely rushed with no time to stop or take photos in the places that were actually scenic, but still arrive back in Marrakech hours past schedule. However, the guides were kind and friendly and they did move my reservation after I got food poisoning on another tour, and the vehicle was comfortable - so I give them stars for that.

Clarification of what was stated in a customer’s comment that she is not satisfied with the service we provided her. First, I am responsible for transportation and the quality of the car. Secondly, the customer missed the scheduled tour date on Tuesday due to illness, and I changed the work schedule to include her name on the second day, Wednesday, although I am not obliged to do so. . We have drivers who speak different languages. On Tuesday, the driver spoke English perfectly. We cannot give each customer a private guide who speaks the customer’s mother tongue, especially since the tour was for a group of tourists of different nationalities. It is a disappointment for me. It was possible that her name would not be included the next day.

Unforgettable experience

Yet again an unforgettable experience with Yassine our chauffeur , this time in the desert and Atlas mountains.. Great driving and great views. Riad pick up on time and a full and exciting day in the mountains away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Vehicle was perfect and only regret is not to have more time in the desert. Our time in Marrakech went so quickly, trying to fit in new things to do. Our visits to Marrakech are now annual and we definitely use Happy Way Tours each time we go. Yassine is a super caring person, punctual and so knowledgeable. Service and prices are excellent and the choice of tours also varied. If you are in Marrakech, then don't hesitate to contact Yassine via WhatsApp. Highly recommended and hassle free
