What Our Guests Say

All reviews

"Great trip. Our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. He made us fall in love with Morocco. Thank you, Jaouad for sharing your country with us. Highly recommend!"

Julia

"I had pretty high expectations with regard to our trip to Morocco, but Jaouad still managed to surpass them. He planned and organized the trip meticulously, leaving no stone unturned (in more than one case, he pointed out problems with our plan and suggested a better one). Every single detail was thought out, organized and handled without a hitch - from logistics to transportation (the bus was really comfortable and the driver amazing) to lodging to food. Being aware of our interest for Jewish history in Morocco, Jaouad specifically arranged visiting the towns and places which played the major role in that respect. He even made sure I was comfortable given my dietary restrictions, for which I am extremely appreciative. To summarize, if you plan a trip to Morocco (whether a first time or a repeat, just like we will definitely be doing), you should absolutely go with Jaouad. You will enjoy it all the way and you will have a lot of fun."
