Our trip was spectacular! Hakim was responsive in the planning process and adjusted the items I wanted changed quickly and accurately. The Riads we stayed in were gorgeous across the board. We felt safe, accommodated and well located. Every activity and itinerary plan was smooth and as expected. The real star of our vacation was our diver/guide/honorary family member Abdellatif Iggui. From the moment he met us at the airport he until he dropped us at the port eight days later he was a delight. Abdellatif was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and fun. He adjusted to our pace and rhythm, got to know us so he could better show us what we wanted, provided endless recommendations and guidance. He was genuinely invested in our experience and a fundamentally wonderful person. He was also tireless as our trip required hours of difficult driving, he remained safe, attentive and cheerful throughout. He handled six women from 15 to 82 for eight straight days through cities, desserts, mountains and gorges with grace and care. Having a guide who genuinely likes their job allowed us to fall in love with Morocco, making the travel easy and exciting. Thank you Abdellatif, we miss you!!!!!

My family and I had a tremendously enjoyable visit to Morocco due to the amazing work by the team at Original Travels! Mohamed E. crafted a custom tour throughout the country, personalizing the itinerary, excursions, and accommodations to meet our special requests. Said was a very welcoming and gracious host, fielding the operations seamlessly behind the scenes. The city tour guides were wonderful, particularly Mohamed D. in Marrakesh, and we learned so much about Moroccan history, culture, and people. We also give special thanks to our driver, Soufiane. Throughout the entire trip, Soufiane was a very attentive, accommodating host, a skilled and safe driver, and a great overall companion for us on the road. Our Moroccan itinerary proved excellent, and the travel pace, personal vehicle, riad hotels, and site tours were all top notch. If you are looking for a VIP experience in Morocco, I highly recommend using Original Travels to organize your trip. Hats off to the entire Original Travels team and the amazing people of Morocco - perfect 5 stars out of 5!

Our trip to Morocco was nothing short of magical—a harmonious blend of vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and unparalleled hospitality. We explored iconic cities such as Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, and the tranquil Bin El Ouidane, each offering its own story, charm, and allure. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty, starting with the warm welcome of fragrant mint tea and delightful cookies upon check-in. Every riad we stayed at was an oasis of beauty, character, and tranquility. Whether it was the intricate tilework, soaring arches, or the lush gardens, these boutique hotels were a testament to Moroccan craftsmanship and architecture. The staff at our accommodations consistently went above and beyond, from the thoughtful surprise of a wine bottle in our room to ensure we were fully relaxed, to the adorable peacocks and puppies on the property that made each stay all the more memorable. The lavish breakfast spreads, private pools with stunning views, freshest juices and local delicacies, making every morning feel like a feast.

Our itinerary was packed with unforgettable moments, thanks to our tour organizer, who curated an utterly seamless experience. Their knack for uncovering hidden gems was amazing; we visited local markets, explored historical gems like Volubilis, and savored a hearty dinner with a local family in Fez, learning stories passed down through generations. Beyond rich culture and history, adventure was front and center—whether it was riding camels through the Agafay Desert, singing around a bonfire under the stars, or enjoying a thrilling fire show. A highlight of the trip was hiking the Ouzoud Waterfalls, followed by a relaxing spa session at a luxurious Hammam in Marrakech. The professionalism of both our tour operator(Majid) and driver(Khalid) made everything effortless, even when a flight delay and missing luggage threw a challenge our way. The team’s swift action to recover our bags, despite a long detour, showed genuine care and dedication. With an English-speaking driver who was a walking encyclopedia of Morocco’s history and our knowledgeable local guides, every moment was immersive and enriching. We left not only with unforgettable memories but also having made two lifelong friends. Morocco is a destination like no other, and this tour operator has set the gold standard for customer service, making the journey truly extraordinary.

We took a 14 day family trip through Morocco, and Hamza helped us plan our trip. He listened to our interests and accommodated all our requests- from city tours to rock climbing to kite surfing (which did not happen because there was no wind). Hamza connected us with a local tour company who actually handled the trip detail- and Said and Hamza (another Hamza) did a great job taking care of us. Special shout out to Hamza, our driver- a very careful and awesome driver who became our friend after countless hours of driving through Morocco! There were some disappointments- for example, no tour guide at Rabat and we skipped some sites due to miscommunication, but Said was very responsive and fixed the situation as soon as I contacted him. He made sure we had a guide in every city after that. Overall, the trip was fantastic and we learned a lot about the history, food, and people of Morocco. Thank you, Hamza, Said, and Hamza! =)

It's a cute, small boutique hotel in a small village in the Dades valley with a super friendly staff and the best food we had in Morocco. The owner went out of his way to accommodate our needs, and I wish I had cash to tip more. We stayed two nights and had dinner at the hotel restaurant both nights- both fantastic- but they only take cash so be prepared!

An old, charming hotel right on the water. Very friendly staff - but no AC, which was fine but leaving the window open too cool down the room also invited flies. They also seemed a little short staffed and breakfast service was OK, not great.

Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat

Made a short stop at Rabat- Our driver dropped us off at the Mausoleum- we just wandered around without knowing what we were looking at, and a local guide started talking to us. He provided some explanation, which was fine, but then he pressured us to pay him 400 Mdhars. Wish we had a proper guide with us and shown us around a bit more- it looked like an interesting city.

Sand-Boarding in Erg Chebbi

There was no organized activity- some boards (some with broken parts) were laid around the camp, and you were supposed to just take them out and try on your own. Sand dunes near the camp were small and it was not worth the trouble.

some tourist restaurant, slow and bad service (took our order after people who arrived later than us), no AC and it was HOT AND ran out of salad so served us HOT SOUP when the restaurant was nearly so hot already! The owner and some staff seem happy and friendly but a terrible experience overall.

The stable was very dirty- never seen so many flies. The ride was fine although one of the horses dropped to the ground and my husband could have gotten hurt (thankfully he didn't) and the guide did not speak much English or provide any explanation. But the scenary was beautiful.

Private Kitesurfing Lesson Essaouira

Morocco

No wind, so we had to cancel. They switched us to regular surfing lesson on day 1 - which was ok but not what we signed up for. There was some miscommunication between our trip organizer and the vendor who did not know that we were coming on a windless day , etc. Apparently, the surfing instructor (Salim?) was outstanding but the overall experience was not great. We are still trying get refunded for kitesurfing - we were supposed to kite surf 2 days and it's much more expensive than regular surfing, which we did only 1 day.
