BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that Morocco destination experts deserves a special thanks. All respect for Muhammed who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide! He treats his guests Fairly, friendly and equally. He is well versed and extremely knowledgeable. He knows the culture and history. The owner Medhi is keen to make the tour organized. He is organized, and very punctual. The tour program was scheduled well, was on time. We didn't miss anything during the tour program. Morocco destination experts helped me plan an entire week of fun and activities. My photographer cancelled and he stepped right up getting a professional photographer who had taken pics for celebrities. I reached out to play a joke on a friend and without hesitation he came through with a dressed up driver and name sign. No hesitation with anything I’ve asked. If ever in Morocco the Best travel assistance is given by Morocco destination experts tour company. I am so impressed with this company. Booking with them is a must if you wanna have a great experience.

Very interesting tour. The guide was very informative and knew what he was talking about. He was a native of mawkish and had a lot of experience in the tourism industry. I would do that on the second day after doing the hop-on-hop-off bus.
