Our group of 6 was picked up from our Riad by a spacious and air-conditioned people carrier. Our guide, Omar, went above and beyond to provide a comfortable, informative, and engaging experience. Omar had an incredible knowledge of the area, and took us to excellent stops over the three days. Night one was spent in a luxurious desert camp and night two was spent in a beautiful hotel located in the picturesque Dades valley. Incredible value for money and unbelievable service. 100% recommend.
While there are so many tour companies and some of them are bad, I chose this one after comparing reviews on Google Maps, TripAdvisor, etc. for about 15 companies. The good thing is, ・The fact that I never stopped at any of the restaurants with bad boggy lunches or souvenir shops (carpets, etc.) that tour companies work with for brokerage fees, which is common. If someone in the group told them that they wanted to go to a store where they could buy something like this, they would stop by, but they were never forced to buy anything or felt awkward without buying something (sometimes people who were not interested remained in the car). · Zaid, the driver and guide, was just knowledgeable, English was fine and kind. While most of the tour participants spent the next day in Fez, they were perfectly gracious (at no extra charge, etc.) in taking people who wanted to go to Tanneries in Fez the day after the tour, and when the Tanneries workshop insisted on tipping them, they refused on everyone's behalf. During the tour, he said that tips should only be given to services that he was really satisfied with, and he never asked for his own tips at the end of the tour (he was kind enough to give them more at Fez). He was also a very good guide who was charming and would answer any questions he asked. They were quick to respond to requests to buy water, go to the toilet, stop by an ATM, etc. The driving speed was a bit of a skip… lol. ・As stated, the number of participants was small (seven when we went) and flexible. · The car is clean and the air conditioning works well. · Although it is expensive compared to other extremely cheap tour companies, the quality of the difference was guaranteed from start to finish, including accommodations on the tour and the above guides. · The tour company as a whole has a clear community and responds quickly to emails etc. ・At Fez, you can drop us off at the nearest car stop.
This was the second highlight of our trip to Morocco—the hot-air balloon ride was the other one! The tour was excellent, with a relaxed pace and plenty of interesting sights along the way. Our driver, Hassan Kamana, was the best: professional, friendly, and always happy to answer our many questions with a smile and genuine interest. We saw so many fascinating places and learned a great deal about Morocco. We genuinely enjoyed the journey, despite the many kilometres of driving. The accommodation was also very comfortable, and the food was very good. Make sure to bring enough cash, as the remaining balance for the tour must be paid in cash. In general, cash is essential in Morocco, since many places do not accept card payments.
Thanks to Ibrahim for the amazing journey! Warm welcome, always responding to our questions and funny jokes! He brought us to amazing spots we would never have seen by ourselves. Thanks for everything!
We had a fantastic trip with Morocco Fabulous Tours from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert and ending in Fez. From the very beginning, Brahim was incredibly helpful. He answered all of our questions quickly on WhatsApp and gave us the best options and deals for our private tour. Dinner and breakfast were part of the tour & also gave us a stay in Dades Valley. The desert camel safari and the amazing luxury tents stay were just fantastic. The biggest blessing of our tour was our driver and guide, Mohamed. He took amazing care of us from Day 1 to Day 3. He explained so much about Moroccan history, culture, villages, and agriculture. He truly went out of his way to help us with everything we needed and was a very safe driver. We give Mohamed 5 stars for his incredible effort, knowledge, and experience. Highly recommend this tour company
This was an amazing trip we will not forget. I would 100% recommend it. Everything ran smoothly. The sites are incredible and the hospitality of our guides was awesome. We went with my 3 kids, who loved the adventure. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip and our guide, Hassan (Kamana) was great. He is cordial, fun, and patient and was happy to share with us his culture. We hope to come back soon and would certainly use this same outfit for future visits to beautiful Morocco 🇲🇦!
My partner and I joined the 3 day private tour from Marrakech to Fes and had the absolute best time with our guide/ driver Ali. The itinerary was nicely paced, and eye-opening. Ali is super friendly and helpful, the best guide you can have! Not only have we learnt useful Arabic phrases which came in handy throughout the rest of our trip, he’s helped with luggages, doors, recommended nice restaurants for us, a great photographer and also shared lots of history, culture and fun facts about his country, people and the beautiful landscape which we totally fell in love with. Despite the necessarily long drive into the desert (yet totally worth it), Ali has organised stops with interesting villages/ landscapes / interest points to see along the way, making the trip both informative and comfortable. We stayed at Hotel Babylon Dades during the first night, and enjoyed the quiet mountainous scenary from our hotel room. For the second night, we opted for Caravanserai Luxury Desert Camp, we had a sunset camel ride into the camp, had great food, camp fire night with music, starry night in the desert and beautiful sunrise. The whole trip was memorable for the two of us, so we would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Incredible trip! The experience exceeded expectations. The tour stops were very well planned, with unbelievable scenery, and so much to see & learn about the country. Our guide Zaid was so knowledgeable, kind & took great care of us, and always happy to stop for breaks or shops! We had a full van (x7 people), but it was spacious and comfortable. I would recommend to choose Zaid as your guide, as he went above & beyond to make sure that we had the best trip! In only 3 days, we feel like we have seen so much of Morocco!
We had the best time with Zaid travelling from Marrakech to Fes. Zaid had so much knowledge of the area and it was incredible to hear his stories of growing up in the desert. All of the stops were great and we really appreciated going to good, clean restaurants for lunches. The scenery was awesome and although the drives were long distances the good air conditioning and company made them pass quickly. Huge thanks to Zaid and all of the Fabulous team - the booking process was seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour!
My desert tour, from start to finish, was absolutely amazing. Even before I’d left home, communication was super fast and helpful. Once I got to Marrakech, before my day came to leave for the tour, I was given very good instructions on where/when to meet our driver, Zaid. From the beginning Zaid was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and hospitable. I truly believe that while it still would have been great, the tour wouldn’t have been nearly as amazing as it ended up being without him. Throughout the 3 day trip he answered all of the questions I had about Morocco and the things/places we saw, of which there were many. He always made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to accommodate any of our requests. The accommodations along the trip were beautiful, as well as clean and comfortable. All of the activities were educational and fun, and the food we had along the way was always delicious. The Sahara portion of the trip was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t recommend this tour enough! Thank you to everyone involved in the company, and especially thank you to Zaid for making it such a great experience!
