Solo Traveller

As a solo traveler, I was looking for a safe and well-organized tour, and this 11-day journey exceeded my expectations. I loved visiting the royal palaces in Rabat, wandering through Chefchaouen’s blue streets, and experiencing the Sahara desert with a camel trek and luxury camp. The group felt like family by the end of the trip. Truly a life-changing experience that I’ll never forget

Family Traveller

We traveled as a family with two teenagers, and this 11-day private tour was perfect for us. The itinerary was balanced with culture, history, and fun activities. Our kids especially loved the camel ride and sandboarding in the desert. The local guides in the imperial cities gave us so much insight into Morocco’s history. Everything was well planned, and the driver was patient and attentive.
