Excellent tour operator - I did two tours with this company and both were excellent. I went to Essaouira for the day and it was very worth it, I had plenty of time to get to know and the city is beautiful. I also did the desert day tour which was very complete too, the food very good and the guides very attentive and friendly. Fully recommended.

Off the beaten track - Great day in Essaouira accompanied by Rachid throughout the ride. We bought fish and some seafood at the Port Point of Sale that we brought to a local restaurant that they cook for us. It was a great moment, Rachid is a person who will make you discover this beautiful corner of country. Thank you for your kindness and kindness. On the return we had the chance to witness a real fantasia, Rachid it is stopped so that we can enjoy this magnificent authentic show.

We were worried it might be harder to return but thanks to Come to Morocco we didn't have any issues whatsoever :) super smooth experience and very tailored to our last minute decisions :)

good knowledge of attractions - our tour leader, Rachid, took us to places which we couldn't find if we were not using his tour. we had great time in this tour. Rachid , our tour leader, was great , friendly, and trustworthy. He knows good restaurants and locations, which all were nice. he was a very careful and safe driver with a good car. he even share his mobile hotspot with us. Rachid was always on time ( early). he knows many languages and can easily communicate. strongly recommended
