Morocco in April, a trip of a lifetime - Our trip to Morocco using Sahara Trek was simply amazing. Luiza was so helpful in creating a fantastic itinerary, booking beautiful Riads in the best locations for exploring, and organizing tours with guides that were friendly and knowledgeable (shout out to Aziz and Mohammed). Not to mention being so helpful with any questions I had or problem solving when weather would impact planned events. Our driver, Jalal, was equally fantastic, always so responsive, helpful and kind. The itinerary was a perfect balance of structure and free time. I can’t thank everyone at Sahara Trek enough for this experience and would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Morocco!

Great experience in Morocco thanks to SaharaTrek!!! - Me and my friend had a great time in Morocco thanks to SaharaTrek! We only have 11 days, but wanted to visit places suggested in the 12-day Grand Tour plus more!! Luiza provided great suggestions and tips on the itineraries, arranged a great driver Mostafa to take care of us throughout the whole trip, and very knowledgeable guides Aziz and Mohammed in Marrakech and Fes, respectively. In Todra Gorge, instead of my proposed Rim hike, Luiza suggested for the Todra Valley walk given my time constraints which turned out to be a great experience - the Berber guide knows the local area very well and even demonstrated and coached me on how to climb a palm tree per my request which is an added bonus! In general, I feel that Luiza genuinely understands our preferences and needs, and went out of her way to ensure we had a great experience in Morocco during the trip. I have no reservation in recommending SaharaTrek to anyone wanting to visit Morocco!!!

Favorite place in the world! - We had an amazing trip! My favorite all time place in the world is stepping down the worn stone steps into the fragrance of the tea and spice stalls in the old markets in Marrakesh. The Riads we stayed in were gorgeous and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Our drivers were excellent! Karim kept us entertained with stories and information and drove us far and wide. We traveled during Ramadan and it was an extra special experience to be in Morocco then with the breaks for prayer and the feeling of connectivity through the country. Thank you dear Sahara Trek! We would recommend you anytime!

A great three days in Northeast Morocco - My trip was a 3 day extension of a 2 1/2 week small group tour with another company. The driver was fantastic. He was reliable, punctual, and considerate. He also added details to what we were seeing on our way to cities and answered our questions. He offered to take pictures of the both of us. He worked with the hotels/riads for pick up. Our local guides were friendly, knowledgeable. All in all, it was a great experience. The local supervisor was also available on "what's app" for additional clarification.

Family of 7 all had fun! - I booked a custom trip to Morocco with Sahara Trek for my multigenerational family on 7. From the grandkids at ages 8 and 11 to grandma at 67 the trips was great for all of us. Working with Luiza was great! Our driver Karim took great care of us and was always positive. The Riads were excellent and all the day guides were really top notch. Price was fair and service was great. Very happy with my trip with Sahara Trek.

Perfect Tour! - From the initial tour planning stage to the actual tour - everything went smoothly with SaharaTrek. Luiza is super-efficient and helpful in setting up the tour plan and providing helpful notes on everything possible. Mostafa Farhan in Morocco was like a Moroccan friend we didn't know we had. I can go on writing about how great these people are - but suffice is to say that they exceeded our expectations, and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

Customized slow trip - yet affordable! - As hands-on or off as we wished! No regrets with SaharaTrek. Best decision we made for our first trip to Morocco. Luiza helped us plan a trip to slowly go around the country - extra days in key cities to relax, learn, and absorb rather than single day stops at many places. It all went smoothly, and yet we had flexibility! We enjoyed a balance of "on our own time" plus guided medina tours and classes: Family Cooking with Brahim and Sena; Bread Baking with Najiyah, including the community oven; and Calligraphy with Mohamed Charkaoui. 5 stars each. Our driver, Mostafa, was outstanding. 10 stars. From airport pickup to dropoff. You need to get along with the driver, and he was so friendly, flexible, ready when we were. We learned a lot from Mostafa. Shukran, my brother, we miss you. Riad accomodations were very comfortable with outstanding service. Beautiful, clean, and quiet, great locations. Our Marrakech guide, Aziz, and Fes guide Mohamed, were perfect matches for us in the medinas and souks, with the artisans - they know so much history, culture. Jawad in the Palmary, after the Gorge, was a great way to learn about dates and go for a nice hike, meet farmers, climb a date tree! We hit Essaouira (relaxing ocean side town, 2); Marrakech (4); Ait Ben Haddout, Todra Gorge and Palmary (1); Erg Chebbi with Camel Sunrise ride (1); stopped for the Ziz Oasis and Atlas monkeys on our way to Fes (3); and then Volubulis (self guided, try it backwards!), Rabat and Casablanca to end the trip (1). The argan oil, pottery, and rug cooperatives were in there too. 12 very memorable days and nights. Thank you SaharaTrek.

Sahara Trek - Totally Awesome Tour! - Totally AWESOME trip and experience. Luiza at Sahar Trek was nothing short of remarkable. She arranged the best driver, Anus, and the best guides for Marrakesh and Fes , Aziz and Mohammed respectively. This private tour enabled us to see and experience the "real" Moroccan culture rather than what you are told on larger group tours. I can't wait until they expand their tour itineraries into other countries too.

We had the trip of a lifetime, and we have Sahara Trek to thank for it! - We highly recommend Sahara Trek if you are looking for a tour company who will customize a private tour based on your group’s needs and wants, with the knowledge and experience of where to stay and go all around Morocco. From our first call, Luiza was so patient answering all our questions, not to mention all her efforts to accommodate our many wishes while making sure that we stayed within our budget! Every time we called to ask more questions, she either already knew the answers or checked into our requests and got back to us very quickly with information. We packed so many activities and cities into our vacation and Luiza guided us through the whole planning process providing all the necessary logistics to arrange our itinerary. Even though we selected standard accommodations to keep the price down, every place we stayed in was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and most importantly air conditioned (except for the cave room)! After Luiza emailed a list of all the riads she planned for each night of our tour, I asked if they all had pools. This was very important to me because it was so very hot while we were there, and I knew that I’d want to jump into a pool almost every day. Anyway, Luiza confirmed each riad had a pool in it or if there was a pool that we could use in a related location or advised if it was unavailable. We loved all the riads we stayed in, and they were all conveniently located in the heart of each city we were visiting. Only one of the raids we stayed in was modernized, but the rest were authentic with traditional Moroccan décor, some with rooftop dining, lounging, or gardens. The riad hosts and staff were all warm, welcoming and helpful! Included in our tour was a personal vehicle and driver, Fouad, who was our guide, translator and bodyguard. He took very good care of us throughout the entire tour. At each stop he handed us off either to the riad staff or the tour guide for our next adventure. He always had water bottles ready for us or knew where we could stop if we needed anything during the tour. He took us to a place for lunch one day that we wouldn’t have even noticed if he didn’t know about it. All the food was fresh and delicious and very reasonably priced. We were very happy with the tour guides Luiza booked for us in each city (with special thanks to Aziz in Marrakesh, Mohammed in Fez, and Mouna in Rabat). They were friendly, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. Our tour included many of the activities that are part of the 9-day Deserts and Empires tour detailed on Sahara Trek’s website, however, there were a few unexpected activities during the tour that were truly a pleasant surprise like making pottery at the mosaic workshop during our day in Fez. We had the trip of a lifetime, and we have Sahara Trek to thank for it!

Unforgettable tour of Marrakech, Rabat, and Fes, plus a night in the Agafay Desert. - I went to Morocco with 3 friends and we worked with Sahara Trek to plan the trip. One of our party already reviewed the trip and I agree wholeheartedly with her review! In addition I want to give a shout out to our guide Aziz in Marrakesh. He was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and accommodating. I won't soon forget his bright smile and his strong encouragement to try all things Moroccan (i.e., the food in the square, ride a camel in the desert and get a hammam)! Our guide in Rabat was also very good - we were only able to spend a few hours with him given our schedule; it was Eid, very busy and we learned a lot. All this to say (again) what a great trip Luiza at Sahara Trek helped us plan. The trip was unforgettable, made especially so by the people involved: Luiza, our amazing driver Fouad, and our three guides (including Mohammed in Fes)! Thanks to all!
