What an absolutely wonderful time we had in Morocco! Wail was the best guide we could have imagined! Throughout the tour he showed us so much of Morocco: from stunning and historical cities to incredibly diverse landscapes, from snow-covered mountains all the way to the Sahara Desert. Morocco is truly a country full of diversity! He even added hidden spots that weren't originally part of the itinerary, which made the experience feel even more special and personal. The hotels and restaurants were also carefully selected, giving us the chance to experience local food and culture. The atmosphere he created was amazing: He put so much effort into making sure we had the best possible experience and thanks to him, our group of strangers quickly grew into a little family. Wail is extremely patient and warm-hearted, calm in unexpected situations, and always fully in control. He took initiative whenever needed, listened to our wishes, constantly advocated for us, and continuously checked in with us to make sure the tour was shaped around our preterences. This tour was not only a beautiful way to discover the country, but also a chance to connect, laugh, and grow together as a group. Wail made it unforgettable and l am so grateful for this! Thank you sooo much!!!:)Show more

The tour was fantastic! Booking and communication was super! Everything was organized so smoothly that I was able to enjoy the entire trip. Our driver/guide (Wail) was amazing. Wail went above and beyond for us, supporting and helping us every time. He was determined to make the most out of the tour for us, and it really showed. His passion as a tour guide is truly remarkable! Wail was very punctual and reliable and was always attentive to our needs! A top-notch guide! Despite some longer drive times, we had a great time, with lots of laughter and conversation, so much that in the end we almost became like a little family. I would recommend tour to anybone, as you get to see so much of the country and explore all the beautiful cities and diverse landscapes. I would love to do it again!Show more

Asked on February 12th, 2026
When does the tour start and when does it end? And will there be a guided tour in Casablanca on day 2?
Tour Details
- Imago TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  The tour starts every Saturday and ends the following Saturday, making it an 8-day / 7-night program.
  
  Regarding Casablanca:
  Yes, there is a guided tour in Casablanca on Day 2.
  If you arrive early on the first day, we can also adjust the timing so you don't miss the main highlights.

  Joan
  Traveler•Written February 2026
  Is there a specific time we should arrive? And how about the flight back home: around which time would you suggest to book our flight home?
- Imago TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  Arrival in Casablanca
  
  Ideally, we recommend arriving in the morning, around 8:00–10:00 AM if possible.
  
  This allows you to:
  
  Start the Casablanca city tour directly upon arrival
  Visit the main highlights before heading to the hotel
  Avoid losing the first day
  
  Hotel check-in is usually in the afternoon, so arriving in the morning works perfectly — you can tour with the driver and then go to the hotel afterward.
  
  If you arrive later in the day, the first day will mainly be for arrivals and rest.
  
  ✈️ Departure Flight
  
  On the last day, there is a guided visit scheduled in the morning.
  
  We recommend booking your return flight:
  
  Around 6:00–7:00 PM, or
  A night flight,
  Or even the following morning if you prefer a relaxed ending.
  
  If your flight is later in the day, we will simply arrange the airport transfer accordingly.
