We had the most incredible time in Morocco! Firstly, Maryem, our trip coordinator did a wonderful job tailoring the itinerary to our liking and was quick to respond to any questions we had during our travels. The guides, hotels, excursions, and travel arrangements were fabulous. The highlights of our trip were, our time walking around the blue streets of Chefchaouen, the food tour in Fez, the ruins of Volubilis, and our stay in Agafay. The best part of our trip was Hamid, our amazing travel expert. He was just the best! He was punctual, kind, funny, warm, inviting, a great driver, and embodied all the best aspects of Moroccan hospitality. I cannot recommend him enough. Under the Moroccan Sun will ensure you will have the trip of a lifetime and we are already thinking of our next tailored adventure with them.
Thank you!

Wouldn't stay here again... It was our first night though so we didn't spend much time here. Staff was nice.

One guy who seemed to be running the whole operation, and did very well! Very helpful with our bags, serving breakfast, and with finding the Riyad.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Beds uncomfortable, poor lighting, not the best bathroom. Just don't expect luxury.

One of our favorite guides. His english was great and he was so knowledgable. We learned so much! He even added a stop to see the most beautiful mural as my daughter is an art historian. Rabat overall, is beautiful and clean. Amazing architecture. I just wish we had more time to visit some of the museums.

Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is a must see! Just gorgeous everywhere you look. The whole town smells like orange blossoms, and as a result has the best orange juice. The guide seemed to know everyone in town and watching him interact with his friends and loved ones was the highlight of the tour.

Mohammed!! Loved this guide! So funny and informative. Again, he seemed to know everyone in town and watching him interact with everyone was a highlight. He helped us get a great price on our bags at the tannery too. We loved Fez, it felt the most authentic out of all the bigger cities we visited.

Volubilis were the most incredible Roman ruins I've seen so far (and I've seen many). You must go before they put the mosaic floors into the museum they are in the process of building. It was incredible to just see them in the grass among the ruins. Donkeys braying in the distance really add to the vibe.

Feta was our very favorite guide. Major shoutout to him, the king of the Moroccan guides. My daughter has a severe nut allergy, and as you will learn nuts are a prominent feature in Moroccan desserts. He was extremely understanding of this and cautious. He triple checked with vendors every time. We just walked around the Souk and tried all the things that peaked our interest. The best way to really get to know Morocco. You must try the potato croquettes and fresh cheeses!

Our guide Mohammed was one of the best! He was very knowledgeable and laid back (especially on plants in the Jardin Majorelle). Marrakech is just beautiful. Don't skip the YSL museum, it is a wonderful collection.
