Frequently asked questions

About this tour

We pick you up at your hotel or riad in Marrakech in the morning and drop you back there at the end of the day.

About three hours each way. At the falls you will walk for around an hour and a half, including steps, so wear comfortable shoes.

Private: you travel only with your own party, in a vehicle with a driver, and can stop wherever you like and adjust the timing.

Yes. Cars cannot enter the medina lanes, so we wait at the nearest accessible point and someone walks over from the riad with you and your luggage.

What our travellers say

The best experience from start to finish!

We travelled as a family with Marruecos Tours from 28 July to 2 August and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Communication with Mohammed was excellent and our guide Said was attentive, friendly and fun throughout. He took us to places only locals know. Thoroughly recommended.

Marrocos superou minhas expectativas

We would like to thank Youssef of Marrocos Tours for the excellent private tour of Morocco. It was an unforgettable experience, with a very well planned itinerary, great excursions and service that was always attentive and professional. We recommend Youssef to anyone who wants to see Morocco calmly and safely.

The Perfect Family Trip to Morocco

We recently returned from an incredible 12-day tour from Casablanca with our two children, and booking with Agencia Marruecos Tours was the best decision we made. Our driver and guide, Hassan, didn't just drive us from place to place — he became part of our family's story. The overnight desert camp in Merzouga was pure magic for all of us.

A trip to northern Morocco

It was our first time with them and the result was very good. They adapted to our needs throughout and looked after us constantly. Without doubt an agency worth recommending. The trip through northern Morocco was a great success. Thank you for your work.

From Fes to Marrakech

The three-day route from Fes to Marrakech made our trip to Morocco unforgettable. Our guide Said, charming and an excellent driver, brought deep knowledge of Amazigh culture and customs. The route is well organised, with stops at beautiful and interesting places.

Kindness and exceptional service

They were very kind from the very start of the tour. Our guide Said was extremely patient; with him we discovered not only spectacular places and incredible views, but Moroccan culture too.

An amazing experience

I finally fulfilled a lifelong ambition of mine to go to Morocco. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable experiences of my life! The nine days spent travelling were filled with such breathtaking scenery. My favourite part was spending the night in a tent in the Sahara Desert and riding camels around the desert.

Highly recommended

An excellent personalised experience, helped along by Idir’s passion for his country and its customs — and, despite his youth, his knowledge of every corner of Morocco.
