Morocco trip of a lifetime - The camel 🐫 ride experience was awesome and our guide did a great job. We also took a day trip to Casablanca and our personal driver Karim was the best escot ever and made our trip such a success. Our day trip to Medina Soux market left us speechless and we we so enjoy our shopping experience ! First Marrakech Tours definitely made our week long trip to Morocco a one of a kind. They took all the worry out of getting around and seeing the best of Marrakech simple, easy and safe. Karim was our driver for the whole week and is patient, caring and respectful 🙏 Our trip would not have been as fun and fulfilling without the help of First Marrakech Tours. Thank you 😊 💓 Berniece and Linda from USA

Fun Experience - Lots of fun, friendly guide. One hour total ride thru palm grove. Worth the price if you’ve never ridden a camel. Animals looked healthy and well cared for.

Adventure on the Ship of the Desert! - We met Simo on our airport transfer and he returned to our hotel the following day to arrange our excursions. There was no pressure selling and, as it turned out my cousin had already done the Atlas trip the previous week, we decided only on the camels. This wasn't a problem for Simo and he arranged a late departure so we could go at sunset. Abdelhak collected us promptly and delivered us safely through the rush-hour Marrakech traffic. I will admit to being a bit concerned at seeing some camels tethered at the side of the road (especially after seeing how the horses, monkeys and snakes were treated in the Mèdina!), but when we arrived at our location the camels had plenty to graze on and looked well cared-for. We were dressed in 'traditional' Berber clothing - with added mobile phone pocket! Haha! The ride itself was lovely - our camel handler stopped half-way round to take a group shot for us, and ended up taking individual pics of everyone. At the end, we were given sweet Moroccan tea before being shuttled back to our hotel, complete with commentary from Abdelhek. The Palmereia itself could do with a bit of TLC, but it was a really joyful excursion and reminded me of inner thigh muscles I'd forgotten I had!

I fell in love with Marrakech - I am so glad I booked my airport transportation with this company. My driver Bachir was amazing from the minute he helped me with my luggage at the airport. Bachir suggested some great excursions, I did a Camel Ride, on his advice in spite of being afraid of animals and it was amazing. I also did Chez Ali dinner and fantasia show and it was fantastic. My favorite excursion was Lunch in the Ourika River. Bachir was professional, personable, always punctual and extremely helpful. As an apprehensive solo traveler, I felt like I was spending time with old friends. I am already planning my next trip to Marrakech and I will definitely book Bachir again! Book it. You will not be dissapointed!

Fun different experience away from the busy city - This was a great experience for those who haven't ridden a camel before - slightly uncomfortable but the pictures are great! The guide was very friendly and offered some nice tea in the end!

Be aware of this company - We took a camel ride in sunrise in mid September they charged us 70% over the normal price… I was really upset when i knew the camel owner giving 50% commission to first Marrakech tours. SCAMMERS
