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
Iwona P2024-07-13Magical lifetime experience delivered by an exellent guide and drive Mustapha Our 8-day private trip across the country from Casablanca thru Marrakech, Dades Valley, Merzouga Desert, Fes, Chefchaouen and Rabat ending in Casablanca was absolutly magical thanks to our amazing guide and driver Mustapha N. DDT delivered 100% what was planned and we highly recommend this company. They were very professional, accomodating and flexible from the planning stages with Mustapha O. to the smooth execution of the daily schedule by Mustapha N. He made our adventure safe, worry-free and very authentic as he knows his land, history, culture and traditons, and is happy to share it. 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. Thank you DDT and Mustapha N. for trully unforgettable vacation. We will recommend your services to everybody.Verified

Deborah C2024-05-27Crazy tour! We did an 8 day tour of Morocco with this agency and it was an amazing experience! We saw all the most beautiful places: leaving and arriving in Marrakech we visited the desert, went on dromedary and quad excursions, sang and danced around the fire at the camp where we were staying, visited the real Berber villages, admired the blue city Chefchouen, we walked around Fez with a local guide, visited the wonderful Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and many other fantastic experiences. Our driver Mubarak was fantastic, always available and attentive to our needs (one day we were a little sick and he brought our medicine to our room, very kind!) And the hotels we chose were all very nice! We highly recommend this agency, for the experiences we have had, for the possibility of completely customizing the tour and for the availability and experience of the guys who work there. Thank you for our unforgettable trip!Verified
Daniele I2024-05-25Truly exceptional EXCEPTIONAL. 5 days with them, we didn't worry about anything, the guide was super courteous and thoughtful, he showed us various places and gave us unique experiences. Tasting typical restaurants and taught us the customs of various places. An unforgettable experience the night in the desert, which is worth the many hours of travel. The walk on the dromedaries is very suggestive. Not to mention the sunset in the desert dunes. Sand as soft as powdered sugar.
