My partner and I traveled to Morocco with Trips Around Morocco and had an amazing time. We took a 6 days tour from Agadir to Merzouga with Mohamed as our driver, and he exceeded our expectations. He is a great gentleman, and he allows us ample time to stop and take in the views. Mohamed is a nomad, and he invited us to eat with his family, where we ate delicious food. We’ll do it with you guys again!!

My friends and I had a 6 days trip with Trips Around Morocco from Agadir to Merzouga, and it was the best experience we could have had; Mustapha, our guide, clearly explained the Berber and Arabic cultures to us, making us feel as though we had been to Morocco; highly recommended. Thank you so much for everything.
