Best Casablanca to Merzouga tour
It was our first time in Morocco – we did a 3 night, 4 day private tour to Merzouga from Casablanca with To Morocco Travel and had an amazing experience. Our driver and guide, Hassan, was fantastic – he is super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the trip. He was a great communicator, so everything went smoothly and we never felt rushed or bored. Hassan showed us interesting local stops and markets, but made it clear we were not expected to buy anything and were stopping to learn about the culture. The scenery during the drive was stunning so the drive doesn’t feel too long. The hotels we stayed at were lovely, and the best part of the trip was definitely the desert (and camel ride!), as well as ATV-ing along the dunes. Hassan made sure all these activities were included and we had plenty of time to enjoy the dunes.
We’d definitely recommend this tour company for Morocco tours
Private 4 days tour from Casablanca
Our guide was Hassan, who was very fun, friendly and knowledgable about pretty much anything we asked. My cousin and I went with our grandmother, and he was always making sure, she was happy, even arranging a bithday cake for her in the desert. It was a lot of value for a good price. The hotels were great, everyone we met were very hospitable and kind. The hours in the car went by much faster than you would think, if you enjoy the view and ask your guide some questions. The car was also very comfortable to sit in for a long time. Everything was beautiful, and I definitely recommend both the company and Hassan as your guide.
best 4 days tour from Casablanca
I have nothing but good things saying about our experience! We went on a 4 day tour from Casablanca to Sahara and it was so amazing. Our tour guide Hassan did an excellent job adjusting the itinerary to fit in all of our requests and skipped the ones that weren’t that important. Along the road he was super nice and informative, and made the entire trip go smoothly. He also chose great lunch places The entire tour. The highlight of the tour was definetely the time we spent in Sahara, the environment was beautiful and the staff was super nice! We cannot recommend this tour enough, and if you decide to go, make sure to arrange it with Hassan!
