I recently completed a private tour of Morocco and had an absolutely wonderful experience. My guide and driver, Ismail, was fantastic from start to finish. He customized my itinerary to better suit my interests and was also incredibly flexible when weather required adjustments, making sure I was still able to see everything I had originally planned. Ismail was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to travel with, which made a huge difference on a multi-day journey. The local guides the company partners with were also excellent, adding depth and insight in each location. Every riad we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming, and it was clear that great care had been taken in selecting accommodations that truly enhanced the experience. Overall, this tour was well-organized, personalized, and exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to book with Private Desert Tours again and highly recommend them to anyone considering a private tour of Morocco.Show more

My friend and I do an annual trip for his birthday and decided on Marrakesh. From the moment we decided on the country and this activity it was constant updates before our arrival . This tour is truly one of the best tours I have done across the many countries I have travelled. A very scenic route and the views from the Sahara desert was one I will never forget . The personal and family feel of Riad was one that is difficult to deceive and the home made dishes - impeccableShow more
