EXCELLENT Based on 230 reviews Frances S2024-11-19Verified A perfect desert tour! My mother and I did a short tour from Marrakesh out to the desert and then back to Fez. Mustafa was our guide and was absolutely incredible. He is so knowledgeable and kind and answered our thousands of questions! He was also super flexible and willing to make adjustments to our itinerary to accommodate our interests and energy at different points. The team organized a great tour, including wonderful places to stay. I’m always a little nervous about having a tour company book my hotels, but they made great choices. Strongly recommend arranging your travel with Desert Discovery Tours!!

Has been very patient with us and driving safely all the time.Very good and quiet hotels for the night stops and amazing food at lunch and dinner time.The time spent in the desert was amazing, listening some live music near the fire and also join it to play was special. All the guys from the agency where friendly and nice people, like hanging out with friends.I can't list all the placed we visited, as they where all interesting and beautiful!Some unplanned activity made the experience even more genuine like meeting Youssef's sister at the market, the sandstorm or help another guide to get the car unstuck from the sand.Definitely recommended!!Thanks to Youssef and Mustafa, hope to meet you again! Vacation7781452024-11-11Verified 6 day Fez to Marrakesh Great 6 day tour from Fez to Marrakesh. Ibrahim is a great Guide and driver. Nature is fantastic. Desert and Fez Medina were our highlights. Jyothi R2024-10-26Verified Amazing Desert trip Booked a 3 night 4 day tour from Fez to Marakesh. I knew we were going to have an adventure straight out of the Arabian Nights when our guide and driver,Hassan,dressed in his Berber costume, picked us up. We donned our scarves, morphed into Fatema and Katija, and took off on a magic carpet, aka Toyota Prado.The legendary Mustapha stopped to greet us along the way. Hassan was very knowledgeable about the desert and its people. He showed us newly formed lakes after the recent rains. He called restaurants ahead of us to request a variation on the vegetarian tagine after we told him we had one too many of those. He materialized clean toilets with tissue. We were entertained with local music, which we sang and danced to along the way. The choice of accommodation was superb. We were so impressed that we used DDT for a further 4 days in Marakech. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mustapha and Hassan for a memorable trip Francesco V2024-10-25Verified Amazing Trip The trip was amazing! The guide, Mohamed, was super helpful and made our trip incredible. Highly recommended……………….! serena l2024-10-17Verified The best agency If you want to explore Morocco this is the best agency to rely on! Fantastic tour that exceeded all my expectations. Well organized and satisfying. My friends and I were guided by the great Mustapha, an excellent guide, super friendly and competent. He accompanied us throughout the trip with his funny collaborator Hammi meeting all our needs. He chose the best hotels and restaurants for us. It was an unforgettable trip. Morocco and its people will remain in my heart forever. Duncan Crossley2024-10-01Verified An absolutely unforgettable and fabulous experience in Morocco. I joined the group in Chefchaouen on the 26 of September and stayed with my Italian friends till the 29 of September. I was only able to stay for part of the tour due to work commitments in Italy. However, during the three days that I was with the group and our excellent driver and guide Brahim, I had a brilliant time and experience. It was my fifth visit to Morocco and perhaps the best. Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels is a very professional organization, providing excellent service to its customers. Brahim was kind, generous and very helpful at all times. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and always concerned that we were treated well and had a good time. The hotel accomodation and meals provided were very good indeed. We visited a series of fascinating and beautiful places in Morocco. I would recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone who wants to get to know Morocco with the maximum of comfort and minimum of hassle. A truly 5* experience. Thank you so much for a magical and unforgettable experience in Morocco. Kate F2024-08-29Verified Unforgettable experience! Do not hesitate to book your tour through this company. From the booking process to the end of the tour it was was stress free, flexible with a high level of professionalism. Our guide and driver Mustapha N made our trip so special. He's delightful, professional, a fabulous driver, has a wealth of knowledge about his country and a high moral conscious that is a testament to his parents and culture. A special mention of Amen, the tour guide Mustapha arranged for us in Fez. So passionate and knowledgeable, a fantastic day with him. All our accommodations chosen by DDT were beautiful. Thank you DDT and especially Mustapha for going above and beyond for us. Jo G2024-08-20Verified Perfectly 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. Scenic550275414602024-08-19Verified A TRIP OF A LIFETIME! I recently travelled through Morocco with Desert Discovery Tours, and I highly recommend their services. I had organised an 18-day personalised trip, a second honeymoon, together with Mustapha, From the beginning, the team was welcoming and professional, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable.The itinerary was well-organized, striking a good balance between popular attractions and lesser-known spots. Accommodations were comfortable and met our expectations, and driver/guide (Mustapha) provided insightful information about Morocco's history and culture. We appreciated the careful planning and attention to detail, which made the journey stress-free.Exploring the Medina’s and souks of MOST cites including Marrakech, the historic sites in Fes, and the Sahara Desert were all highlights of the trip. Our absolute favourite city was Chefchaouen, Desert Discovery Tours ensured that everything, from transportation to meals, was well taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience. IF you however have food allergies or intolerances, I suggest that you get more support, the Riad and Hotels struggled with supporting me, maybe take your own snacks!If you're considering a trip to Morocco, Desert Discovery Tours is a reliable choice. They offer a well-rounded travel experience that allows you to see the best of the country without any hassle.
