This is just a note to give you some feedback on my recent trip to Morocco. I had a lovely time and it far surpassed my expectations. Firstly my guide Mustafa was excellent. I always felt safe and he was really helpful and accommodating. On the second last day when I wanted to go to the Jardin Majorelle, he managed to fit it into the program and also I got there before the large queues developed. The accommodation was excellent- the riads were particularly lovely and the overnight stay in the luxury desert camp was truly magical. I was blown away by the scenery. There were too many highlights to list them all. I must go again! Thank you very much to Mohamed Amraoui at Traverse Morocco I will be recommending you to my family and friends.
My recent trip to Morocco was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I have to thank Traverse Morocco for making it all possible. I have installed TripAdvisor due to the service I received, from the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional. Mohammed and the entire team made sure every detail was taken care of, ensuring a smooth and seamless journey. Our guide, Hassan, was absolutely amazing—his deep knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and hidden gems made every stop feel personal and enriching. Whether it was navigating the vibrant souks of Marrakech or exploring the ancient medina of Fes, Hassan’s insights brought everything to life. Mohammed offered us different accommodation options to choose from, the car was clean and comfortable. Traverse Morocco’s attention to detail, personalized service, and expert guidance made this trip truly unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to show me the magic of Morocco! Highly recommend!
