Best Transportation Service - Thank you BekBen Travel - I couldn’t have been any more pleased with BekBen Travel. My friends and I just finished up 10 days of travel in Morocco and BekBen took care of every detail for our transportation in and around Fez including tours to the Middle Atlas mountains, Chefchaouen and a few other day trips. Drivers were extremely professional, and I felt incredibly comfortable and in safe hands in the passenger seat! I am usually a control person who needs to do the driving, but found that our drivers were super professional. The vehicles were top quality, incredibly clean and well maintained. Our drivers took such good care of us really beyond driving such as suggesting places to stop for lunch or where to get supplies in or out of town. I especially enjoyed Hamza’s company as he did a lot of our driving. Hamza sincerely felt like a long-lost brother to me – friendly and approachable for any needs we had. BekBen Travel really did go above and beyond on this trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company if you are travelling in Morocco and need a top-notch transportation company. Sincerest thanks! Morocco is amazing.

Very pleasant excursion in the company of Mohsin, - Very pleasant excursion in the company of Mohsin, a very good guide. I really enjoyed the visit to the troglodyte house museum in Imouzer, the different viewpoints in the mountains, the Magot monkeys in the cedar forest and the stop in the village of Amzrou. We also had good weather despite a slight cool wind in Ifrane, while it rained on our return from Fez...

Great adventures trip - Really enjoyed the comfortable drive to these different destinations. The monkeys and little hike in the mountain forest was the highlight. Our guide/driver really made sure we had a good experience. We bought some souvenirs and Pedro helped us translate and bargain with the shop keeper. Very funny and memorable, we were a bit late but he made sure we took our time - even during Ramadan, Pedro made sure we visited everything and got home around 5:55pm. Only confusing part of the trip was the cave at a family house, we were a bit confused as what was going on and wasn’t made aware of the tipping culture (maybe best to add this info on the website details) but luckily we had enough cash for this adventure and all worked out at the end. Thank you Pedro and maybe me and my partner will see you again!

It was a very nice excursion. - It was a very nice excursion. I really enjoyed the stages except perhaps Ifrane, where frankly apart from walking in a few streets and parks, feeling a bit like you're in a mountain village, probably doesn't require as much downtime (even more so when people were systematically late for various appointments, which was annoying but in no way the organization's responsibility). Mohamed was a very good guide and the stops along the way were really interesting. I recommend.

A fantastic day trip from Fes to the mid atlas mountains - A fantastic day trip from Fes to the mid atlas mountains with trips to see the monkeys, the "Alps" of Morocco and a visit to cave home and fantastic photo opportunities. Our guide, Muhammad, was friendly, knowledgeable, spoke many languages and made the trip fun for me and my 14 year old daughter. Pick up and drop off from our hotel and a good air conditioned mini bus made the trip fun. I highly recommend this well-organised fun day trip, Russell

In the middle Atlas with a private guide! - My husband and je were the only ones together with Hamza, our chauffeur! We went a hole day in his car and we visited a house in a cave, Wich was the former house of Al Hosseini ( I dont know if I write his name correct) he showed us his home and we had tea, and te sang for us. He explained also the traditional clothing and tatooing in the face of the women in the Rif. After that we visited two cities and a cedarwood with Monkees. The first city illfrane, was very neat and clean and looked not like Marokko at all, more like Zwitserland. The second village( forgot the name ) was the village we had lunch, and that was very traditional and we would liked to be there a little longer, instead of in ilfrane. The cedarwood with the monkeys was a bit shocking to us, a place families come together to have a picknick or be together in a nice area... But what a mess it was, plastics everywhere , nobody cleaning the place, only a man selling peanuts( to give to the monkeys) and the basics left in the woods. No, not our piece if cake. However, that was not Hamza s doing, and he showed us all this and it was very nice to be with him in his car , and drive though the country!! The driving looks very chaotic to je, so I was glad we had such a relaxed and safe driver, who took care of everything!! He photo graphed us on I nive door were we bought some stones , found in the Atlas, and gave me a bracelet. That was so very kind!! We had a lovely day!!
