Alice N2024-08-22A journey into the heart of the Sahara Choosing Desert Discovery Tour was the best decision we could make for our trip to Morocco! Much more than a tour, but an authentic journey into places and culture. This was made possible by Mustapha, a local Guide who took us on this 5-day adventure to discover so much of Morocco and the peoples who inhabit it. A tailor-made and flexible tour, with carefully chosen locations, hotels and restaurants. Rely on them if you want to make an AUTHENTIC journey!❤️Verified
Jo G2024-08-20Perfectly organised trip - Desert Discovery Tours highly recommended I usually research and book every aspect of our trips, so it was with some trepidation that I let Desert Discovery Tours handle our entire itinerary in Morrocco. I needn’t have worried as everything was fantastic – from the lovely boutique hotels, riads and luxury desert camp to the incredible sites, interesting and informative tours, and comfortable private van (with AC). We flew into Tangier for a 10-day tour of northern Morocco, including Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara Desert, the Atlas Mountains, and Marrakesh. Mustafa was very responsive in the run up to the vacation and from the minute Mustafa picked us up from the airport, everything ran like clockwork. Our driver, Mustafa (# 2), couldn’t have been more accommodating. Desert Discovery Tours is a small family run business and it shows in their attention to detail and their attitude to customer service. Highly recommended.Verified

I strongly Recommendation everyone to experience Morocco with this agency. It was a unique experience that will remain forever in our hearts.Verified
F**2024-08-18Amazing It was an incredible experience. In 13 days leaving Marrakech we visited the desert, the mountains, the north and the coast to Casablanca. Our companion, Mr. Brahim was very kind and helpful, always very attentive to every need and considerate, worried that everything for us was perfect. All accommodations were comfortable and we had local guides in the cities, we also stayed in a Desert Resort for one night and then, the next day, with an off-road vehicle we went to discover its places. We have hearts full of every encounter made, every image seen and food tasted. The organization was impeccable and attentive to our needs to spend a few days in tranquility at the sea.Verified

Hector M2024-07-19Highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels Would highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels. I visited Morocco as a solo traveler and ordinarily I would have trotted around the country on my own. However, I had a little trepidation about driving. I am so glad I used this agency, because not only did they take care of transport, they made the entire trip fun and easy. My guide, Brahim, was awesome! In fact, I almost had a medical emergency one evening, and he came to the rescue. Both he and Mustapha provided the best customer service and went above and beyond in making my Morocco trip memorable. Thanks guys, really appreciate all your efforts!Verified

The camel ride and the night in the desert were amazing and the rest was simply unforgettable. The hotel and riads choices and recommended restaurants were awesome. Although we covered a lot of distance, different roads and terrain, the quality of the spacious van with AC and Mustapha's drivinig skills made it all doable and enjoyable. Besides, he is an easygoing, friendly man with great people and communication skills, and it was an absolute pleasure to spent 8 days with him.
