Private 8 Day Imperial Cities of Morocco with Accommodation

Our chauffeur Jamal was very friendly, welcoming and service minded. He spoke an excellent English, drove very pleasantly and fulfilled all our wishes. He arrived on time and told a lot about the country’s culture and challenges. We give our best recommendations from here

We visited Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Marrakesh and can only recommend it. It’s a great way to experience the different cultures of the country. We had a guide in every city, that told us about the history and showed us the city. You’ll get to experience a Riad (as at hotel) and also have time on your own, to do and se what you want. We had a great chauffeur named Said. He was easy to talk to, always thinking to steps ahead of us and a great guide in every city, if we needed anything like restaurant and tour recommendations. We have no complaints, the tour with him was perfect.

We had a driver guided tour of Morocco. Youness was safe and knowledgeable and we stayed in numerous Riads and saw all the sights of Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Todra Gorge, Sahara Desert, camel ride and overnight in a luxury Desert Camp, Ait Ben Haddou, Imlil and back to Marrakech for a guided tour and a cookery class at Amol. Our driver Youness and various guides made the trip special. We stayed in Riads and were really well received, great accommodations and super food. All of them a was organised by Earthdogtravel.com from the UK using Morocco businesses and Berber peoples to give true authenticity to our experiences. Our 10 day trip was a marvel of differing physical geography landscapes from flatlands, to desert to the Atlas Mountains and gorges. We enjoyed every minute and it was a good job we had local guides for the medinas in Marrakech and Fes - we might be lost in those places without! At every stage Youness was there to pick us up, drop us off, make sure we were comfortable and was always where he said he would be and on time. He was brilliant and to add to that he took us to his parents mountain home where his mother had cooked a couscous chicken tagine which we enjoyed in a Berber home. Great experience. Our trekking guide in Imlil did likewise so we were well and truly experiencing Morocco and its friendly welcoming vibe.

We did a custom, private 12 day tour of Morocco with Toubkal Guides. The planning and communications before the tour were very prompt and complete (thanks Amina). The tour itself was well thought out. Interesting stops and activities. Good accommodations (all with breakfast, some with dinner) and spacious, modern vehicle. It was fabulous to have the flexibility and comfort of our own private tour. Our driver/guide, Youness, was fantastic. Very charming, kind, attentive and professional. He was full of good suggestions and took great care of us. He was incredibly obliging. In large cities, his services were supplemented by local guides (Miriam in Fes was especially good). Highly recommend Toubkal Guides services for a memorable and well organised Moroccan holiday. Choukran.

This is my first review for Tripadvisor because it is the first time I was so delighted with every aspect of the services provided by Toubkal Guide. We had the vacation of a lifetime in Morocco and Toubkal Guide was a big part of making that happen. A little background on me and my family. We have traveled much of the world and always done the planning and logistics on our own. My view of travel consultants is they were more interested in their self-interest than mine. I still feel somewhat like that but Toubkal Guide was a complete exception to that impression. This trip included my wife, our grown son and his finance. Our trip was for 10 days and by design we had only booked our initial stay in Marrakech at a Riad Kheirredine. I had done some research as to ‘top sites in Morocco’ but had no reservations beyond 2 nights in Marrakech. In my preliminary research I had gotten some initial cost for desert camps, typical drivers for portions of the trip and some broad cost for guides, hotels, etc. In my research I had seen a number of blogs that stated the costs given in Morocco to local’s vs those given over to non-Morocco residence were vastly different, so I decided to delay making commitments until I was in country. This proved to be a very wise decision. While at our Marrakech riad I ask for a recommendation for a travel consultant and without question was told Toubkal Guide was the best. How right they were. In a quick series of emails and phone calls I was able to give my high-level desires in terms of sites, experiences and preference for types of hotels. I knew right away that this would be a good experience because Toubkal Guide was a great balance between trying to meet all our expectations and providing more realistic expectations based on their local knowledge. For example, we had suggested one leg of our travel would be 10 hours based on goggle maps. Toubkal Guide gently suggested this was fantasy and if we tried to do this in one day we might all kill ourselves. We broke this into two days based on Toubkal Guide experience and realized how right they were. We all still liked each other after the two days, and I doubt this would have been the case in one day. Within a few hours I was given a preliminary itinerary which I made some suggestions and a quick turn around for a final itinerary with total cost. I was astounded. The accommodations include were 5 star, the transportation options excellent, include were almost all cost for meals, tours, etc. The total price was less than the cost I had collected for a few random things that accounted for maybe 25% of the proposed itinerary. Like any service company, at the end of the day it is all about the person that delivers the service rather than the company alone. In our case Toubkal Guide recommended Abdulla as our driver and guide for the entire trip and we could not have had a more perfect driver. I need a thesaurus for all his attributes: skilled, knowledgeable, flexible, insightful, kind, protective, helpful in negotiations, willing to fade into the background when needed, willing to change based on our whims, willing to advise us when we were making mistakes, etc. etc. Morocco is a big country and our itinerary called for some long rides. Surprising we were all glad to get in the car every morning to spend more time with Abdulla. In closing my advice is that no matter how experienced a traveler you are you need a partner to get the most out of Morocco. Definitely call Toubkal Guide and hope that Abdulla is available. Then sit back and enjoy one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
