Absolutely unforgettable experience! My wife, two young children, and I took a 5 day trip from Marrakech to the Sahara and we had the time of our lives! Our driver and guide Brahim is a fantastic guy. He taught us so much about the daily life in Morocco, about all the historical monuments along the way, about the Amazigh culture, and about the Sahara region (which is his home). He made such an incredible effort to make sure that we did anything and everything that we wanted on our journey. The kids also had so much fun because of Brahim. We already miss him as a good friend and we will keep in touch! Just a few words on the accommodations we stayed at along the way: comfortable and perfect for what we needed. The desert camp itself was perfect for us. Great staff, delicious food, and peaceful location. I recommend Moroko Tour 100% for anyone who wants to dive deep into the rich culture of Morocco and create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Brahim, Ali, and the entire Moroko Tour staff!! 😎🌴🐪🐪🐪🐪🌴🦎

I am so glad that we chose Morokotour for our 5-day journey to the desert, an unforgettable experience! These guys are the real local experts and are also genuinely very good people. From the beginning, before even booking, the communication via email with Ali was excellent, he gave great advice and answered every question with honesty. Our guide - Brahim - we were so lucky to have him with us! We learned so much about the real Morocco, the Amazigh culture and the desert region in those 5 days, thanks to Brahim and the conversations we had with him. He took us to all the right places, not only to the tourist spots but also to places where you could have a glimpse in to the everyday life of the locals. Thank you Brahim and the whole team for an unforgettable experience ❤️

Todo perfecto! Trato muy amable, comida deliciosa,... 100% recomendable!
