A Travel Agency that will never disappoint you really!! - Finally and after the terrible Covid-19 nightmare here we are back to Morocco, so this is our second time booking with Atlas Excursion after few years back and this is one of our best trips ever, we've been traveling for more than fifty years! Because we've slowed down a bit, we asked them at Atlas Excursion to take that into account in planning our itinerary. Corresponding with them was a pleasure and an education. It worked out perfectly for us; just the right balance between sight-seeing and resting in our beautiful hotels and Riads.
We went to the Atlas Mountains, Agafay Desert, Rabat, Chefchouen, Fez, Meknes, Casablanca, Marrakech and Essaouira. There was just the right amount of time for each of these wonderful cities. Our driver, Mouaad, anticipated our every need, he was so friendly, always on time, he speaks numerous languages fluently and perfectly and he was very knowledgeable about Morocco’s history as well as all the local guides who took us around, treated us like a family so he became a personal friend over the entire tour.
Our transportation vehicle was a luxurious Mercedes van, so comfortable, and when it comes to accommodations, restaurant suggestions, fascinating crafts, local sight-seeing guides all exceeded our expectations. It couldn't have been a better experience!
This is a Travel agency where you can book with eyes closed, if you ask me.
Thank you very much

Relaxing trip - It was really nice trip - the city is calm, relaxing, full of art and small cafes, looks like "European" city (escape from the noise of Marrakesh at least). We especially appreciated our drivers' Ahmed patience, friendliness and kindness. Highly recommended for those who are staying near by.
