Hassan was flawless! - Hassan was a flawless guide and gave us a great tour or Fez, Chefchauoen and so much In between. He also dropped us at the ferry in Tanger. He is very knowledgable and a lovely bloke. Next time we will visit the desert when we return! Cheers Tom and Taylah from Australia

A LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY ACROSS MOROCCO’S SOUL - If you're searching for a transformative Moroccan experience, look no further than Uniquely Morocco’s 3-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech. Our small group tour, led by Hassan, was filled with breathtaking landscapes, cultural immersion, and moments of sincere human connection.The tour began early from Fes. Within a couple of hours, we were winding through the cool cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, passing by Azrou where we paused to enjoy tea with a local Amazigh nomad family. This was an unexpected and intimate experience. Sitting inside a modest tent, sipping hot mint tea while hearing about life in the Atlas Mountains, gave us a human perspective that no guidebook could offer.As we continued south, the terrain transitioned to desert plateaus and eventually golden dunes. By the time we reached Merzouga, the sun was beginning to set. We mounted camels for a gentle trek across Erg Chebbi’s dunes. Riding through the shifting sands, with shadows stretching long and golden across the horizon, was unforgettable.The highlight came that night in the desert camp. The sky above was blanketed with stars. Clear, bright, and endless. I lay outside my tent for hours watching the Milky Way shimmer above me. The camp was simple but comfortable, and the warm hospitality of our Berber hosts added to the charm.The next day we enjoyed a special treat. Berber pizza in Rissani. This was no tourist gimmick. Our driver took us to a local spot known for its authenticity. The meat-stuffed flatbread, spiced just right and cooked in a clay oven, was delicious. We continued to Tinghir, where the dramatic Todra Gorge and its fortress-like kasbahs stood out against the cliffs. Walking through the valley and visiting one of the centuries-old kasbahs made me feel part of a living history.That evening, we stayed in the Dades Valley in a traditional guesthouse overlooking the valley’s red cliffs. The food was excellent, the rooms clean, and the view in the morning. Sunrise over the canyon. Was a photographer’s dream.The final leg to Marrakech took us through the High Atlas. The landscapes were stark and majestic. Our guide made thoughtful stops, including one with another nomadic family in a remote part of the mountains. Again, tea was offered, stories shared, and gratitude exchanged.Throughout the trip, Hassan and his team were attentive, kind, and extremely well-organized. Every detail was handled with care. His passion for his country, his cultural insight, and the way he builds meaningful local connections made this more than just a sightseeing trip. It was a genuine journey into Morocco’s heart.

An unforgettable and safe family adventure with Uniquely Morocco - My husband and I had always dreamed of visiting Morocco, and while planning a trip to southern Spain, we realized it was the perfect opportunity to finally go. Traveling with our four-year-old daughter and being 16 weeks pregnant, our top priority was finding a company that could help us experience the richness of Morocco while ensuring our comfort and safety. After researching many tour companies, we chose Uniquely Morocco—and it was absolutely the right decision. What initially drew us in was the fact that Uniquely Morocco is based in-country, with deep local knowledge and strong cultural insight. We sent an inquiry outlining our preferences, and were quickly met with a warm, detailed, and reassuring response. From that point on, the planning process felt effortless. Hassan and his team took care of everything, customizing an itinerary that was perfectly suited to a young family while still delivering an enriching, authentic experience. The communication before the trip was outstanding. We received ample information to help us prepare, and every question or concern was addressed promptly and thoughtfully. We felt completely at ease before even arriving in Morocco. When we landed in Tangier, we were greeted by our incredible driver-guide, Hassan himself, who quickly became much more than just a driver—he was our friend, cultural ambassador, and constant support. Hassan was an absolute joy to be around: warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. His historical insights, practical tips, and deep love for his country elevated every moment. Little touches like fresh water in the car each day were greatly appreciated. One unforgettable moment came when we realized we had left our passports in a previous city. Naturally, we were distressed, but Hassan calmly took charge—he personally drove back to retrieve them and had them returned to us the very next day. His kindness and integrity turned what could have been a crisis into a moment of deep gratitude. Our itinerary was exactly what we needed: a thoughtful blend of guided days, free exploration, and time to rest. We loved wandering through the medinas on our own, knowing we always had support nearby if needed. On two days, local expert guides joined us—each with a unique personality and style, and both deeply knowledgeable and engaging. They tailored our city tours to our interests and introduced us to sites we never would have found on our own. The riads Uniquely Morocco selected were simply stunning—luxurious, spacious, and ideal for traveling with a child. The staff were warm and attentive, and the food was consistently delicious. On nights when meals weren’t included, the riads or Hassan always had great recommendations, often arranging for us to be escorted or personally collected by the restaurants. Morocco stole our hearts—the vibrant culture, the kind people, and the beauty of every region we visited. But it was Uniquely Morocco that made the journey so seamless, personal, and safe. Their heartfelt approach and sincere dedication to their guests truly made all the difference. We are so grateful to Hassan and his team for creating a family experience we will treasure forever. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, don’t hesitate—travel with Uniquely Morocco. You’ll be in the very best hands.

A walking tour worth every penny - Let me just say, this tour was worth every single dirham. I’ve taken plenty of walking tours in different countries, but this one stood out because of how personal and thoughtful it was. Hassan isn’t just reciting facts from a script. He’s sharing a lifetime of knowledge, stories, and experiences. The tour flowed naturally, and we felt free to ask anything. He also helped us understand how to navigate respectfully through cultural spaces, which made a huge difference in how we experienced the city overall. Absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Fez.

Educational, engaging, and fun. - We were traveling as a family with two kids (ages 10 and 13), and I was a little worried they’d get bored on a walking tour. But Hassan completely captivated them. He made everything feel like a story—full of color, detail, and excitement. He was incredibly kind and patient, and he even helped us bargain at the souks. We all walked away feeling like we had genuinely learned something, not just seen the sights. If you’re traveling with family, this tour is an absolute must. Hassan is a gem.

Not just a guide. A cultural ambassador - Hassan isn’t just a guide. He’s a cultural ambassador. His love for his city shines through in every word, every gesture. He shared personal stories that added so much richness to the history and landmarks we were seeing. We felt like we were getting an inside look at life in Fez, not just the tourist version. He also gave us helpful tips for the rest of our stay, like where to eat, how to get around, and what to look out for. He’s incredibly professional but also very down-to-earth. One of the best tours we’ve ever taken.

The highlight of our Moroccan adventure - Our time in Fez was a highlight of our entire trip through Morocco, and it was all thanks to Hassan. His warmth and charisma made us feel instantly comfortable. He met us right on time, guided us safely through the medina, and took care to personalize the tour based on what we were most interested in. We saw historical landmarks, sampled delicious local treats, visited hidden courtyards, and even got a quick language lesson along the way. By the end of the tour, we were sad to say goodbye. Hassan, thank you for giving us such a special memory.

For curious travelers, this is the guide for you. - We love traveling off the beaten path, asking lots of questions, and really digging into the “why” behind things. Hassan was the perfect guide for that. He never gave us cookie-cutter explanations. Everything he shared was thoughtful and nuanced. We learned about the historical roots of the medina, the architectural influences, how local traditions are changing, and so much more. The tour flew by, but the knowledge he shared will stick with us. If you're a curious traveler who wants more than just pretty photos, you need Hassan.

Incredible guide. Unforgettable day - We cannot thank Hassan enough for the incredible day we had with him. The old city of Fez can be overwhelming, but Hassan made it accessible, exciting, and educational. From the Blue Gate to the tanneries and beyond, every stop came with a story, a cultural insight, or a local connection that added so much depth to the experience. He also has great relationships with local artisans, so we were able to see behind-the-scenes parts of workshops and talk to craftspeople directly. It never felt like a sales pitch. Just a chance to truly connect with the city and its people.

A perfect introduction to Fez - We landed in Fez the day before and were feeling a bit overwhelmed by the chaos and beauty of the medina. Luckily, we booked this walking tour with Hassan and it completely changed our perspective. He helped us understand the city’s layout, history, and traditions in a way that was clear and captivating. His storytelling is unmatched. You can tell he’s deeply connected to his city and takes pride in showing it to visitors. Without him, we would’ve missed so much. After the tour, we felt confident exploring on our own, and we had a newfound appreciation for everything around us.
