What people love about Luxury Tours in Africa
- Legends of Egypt
The Legends of Egypt Tour by Planet tours exceeded out expectations. Their coordinator Omar looked after us through every pickup and transfer with high quality assitants, vehicles and drivers navigating us through the airports and complex traffic. The quality of accommodation thoughout was also very high. However the knowledge of their Egyptologists made it the right trip for us. In Cairo we worked with Mena and throughout the rest of the trip we worked with Midhat. Both were not mere guides but souces of knowledge not avialable without years of training. We cannot recommend Planet Tours highly enough for any serious history buffs. Let them look after you like they did us. (Do be prepared for some early starts. There is alot to fit into the time avaialable)
- Best of Morocco - 8 Days Private Tour from Marrakech
My daughter and I just completed the most wonderful trip to Morocco thanks to Guided Morocco Tours with the company’s owner, Anwar. I can not say enough about Anwar and the service he provided. He planned our itinerary meticulously with attention to every detail. He, as well as the local guides he hired at each site, were extremely knowledgeable, flexible, accommodating, and personable. They also displayed great pride in their regions and provided us with many unique, authentic unforgettable experiences that one does not get on a group tour. Anwar also took great pains to make us comfortable and cared for. Each riad, as well as the Sahara camp, were well located, well appointed and luxurious. The hosts delighted us with their very high level of hospitality as they welcomed us into their beautiful surroundings. Every room was spacious, well maintained and comfortable. In planning this trip, Anwar was very responsive to my inquiries, reassuring and flexible. At the end of the tour he asked us what he could do to improve the tour, and we honestly could think of nothing. If you are looking for a tour where you will learn about this fascinating country through unique, authentic experiences provided by enthusiastic, accommodating professionals, Guided Tours will not disappoint.i can not thanku
- Grand 15 Days Private Tour from Casablanca
Wow! Where do I start….We have been back in Canada for a few days, but the memories of magical Morocco will last a lifetime. This was our second “private” tour with Tour Radar and they are “the way to go”. From first contact to final booking their knowledgeable walked us through each step of planning. Our main contact person was Anwar, and we were thrilled to find out that he was also slated to be our guide. After my many questions which were answered with knowledge and suggestions, (and great patience!) when we met him at the airport in Casablanca, it was as if he was an old friend! I cannot say enough about what a gift it was to have Anwar with us as we travelled the byways of Morocco. His driving skills, his knowledge, his kindness, and his unforgettable smile, made our trip 10 out of 10!
