We simply do more. Read what one trekker wrote to us — it's something we hear again and again.

"The tour we were on was similar to a tour conducted by another firm that was cheaper but travelled in big mini-buses lacking air con! Throughout the trip we kept bumping in to these people who were complaining that their drivers didn't stop for photos, didn't speak english and wouldn't tell them were they were going or what they would be doing next. The complete opposite of Morocco Explored, very accommodating for our requests to stop or stay in places longer."

Back in September my husband and I did a tour with Morocco Explored. Before setting out you answered many questions; in particular (about) the roads and you really helped to allay my fears of driving through the mountains. I have to say that you were absolutely right about as they were better than many roads I've encountered in Europe and New Zealand.

So a big thank you to you for your accurate and reassuring description of what to expect. Without that information we likely would have missed out on an amazing trip with our guide Hamou. We could not have imagined such a wonderful guide. Over the course of our three days with him we came to think of him as a friend. He is a truly unique person who made our journey from Marrakech, to the desert and then on to Fez fantastic. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about so many things, he showed that he truly cared for us and about our time in Morocco. In Hamou you have a rare gem and I can't begin to express how much he contributed to our journey.

Hamou has a pure, genuine and generous spirit and through this email I wanted to express our thanks to him by ensuring that Morocco Explored is aware of just how wonderful he is (although I'm sure you have heard this from others who have been fortunate enough to be on a tour with him).

I am writing to say how much we enjoyed the recent 5 day tour we took with Morocco Explored. The trip was well organised and really enjoyable. We especially loved our time in the desert and the camel ride. Our guide, Hamou, was brilliant; he was so thoughtful and anticipated our needs, going out of his way to take us to interesting places such as a Berber museum, a hamman and a Berber Pharmacy. He even invited us to his family home and his family welcomed us with a lovely home made refreshments. Could you please pass on our deep appreciation to Hamou?

We loved the whole trip and our great guide. If you are thinking of offering trips further into the desert or Africa we would be
interested.

We just wanted to take a moment to say - "Thank you Morocco Explored for your professionalism and well organized tours. We thoroughly enjoyed taking our journeys with your company We wouldn't have been able to have seen as much of Morocco on our own and/or experienced as
much if we had not used your services. Your personal attention to detail made our "adventure" something to remember! We especially want to thank Hamou and Essalah for all the laughs (and there was a lot of
that! plus their wealth of information was invaluable!"

The highlight of our vacation was sleeping out under the stars in the Sahara desert - a totally different and wonderful experience for us city girls!! If you are looking to get away from the city (run away!), then the desert is the place to be.

All the best from the Big Apple. Shukran! SHUKRAN!!

I wanted to let you know we had an amazing time and thought the tour was incredible! Everything was executed perfectly and Essalah was fabulous to meet and spend time with. He does an amazing job and really treats his clients to a first class experience! I'll be sure to recommend Morocco Explored to friends and family planning to visit Morocco!

Just a quick email to thank you so much for an amazing holiday. We had a trip of a lifetime! I booked the trip largely based on the testimonials, in the hope that they were true. And indeed they were!! We could not, however, have dreamed that the standard of holiday we were to receive could have been so high. In our comfortable 4x4 we laughed our way round Morocco, and we were so pleased to be taught some Arabic, informed about the culture, introduced to such kind people and taken to places I'm sure other tour companies don't even know exist. We tried different types of food and regional specialities, saw the best sights (even if if meant jumping on a mule to get there) and saw what must have been the best of a spectacular country (I say that because it simply couldn't have got more beautiful).

Our night in the desert was just wonderful, the camels quiet (and not grumpy or uncomfortable like I had been led to believe) and Abrahime, our guide was very sweet, stopping to take photos of us and attending to us like royalty, cooking and lighting a lovely toasty fire for us to lounge around while we drank our champagne and became hypnotised by the drums. And what an amazing drummer he was!

I would be more than happy for you to put my name and email address on the website as a reference.

Many many thanks,

I wanted to send you a brief note to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour. It was flawless start to finish, and I will never be able to think of Morocco without thinking of amazing (driver) Hammou. He asked us on the last day what he should do to improve, and Alexandra and I could not figure out one thing to change. He took every opportunity possible to teach us and show us new things. For example, I saw people selling the cactus fruits on the side of the road and simply asked, "What are those?" Next thing I know, we have pulled over and are tasting them. He was phenomenal. We felt we had a teacher, guardian, friend and comedian all rolled into one. We immediately trusted him and knew we were in good hands with both Hammou and Morocco Explored.

Thank you so much for trip of a lifetime!

Now I know why we needed a 4x4! Mustapha and Essalah BOTH EXCELLENT drivers on those crazy roads and fun to be with. Our 22 year old son thinks he knows how to be a better driver after the experiences! Our (other) activities, sites and guides were absolutely wonderful, with the camel trek being the most outstanding adventure of our vacation!

Erg Chebbi Berber tents. What a grand adventure, wouldn't have missed the experience for anything! Our camel guide / cook / host was very hospitable and helpful. We felt "looked after" and special, especially when we received extra blankets. A small heater w/in the tent would have made it much more comfortable for us, but we realize the safety/logistics of doing that is nearly impossible. The fabulous Sahara scenery, delicious dinner and authentic "feel" made it all worthwhile.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to have Essalah as our driver for 3 fantastic days. Before leaving the UK, I found Robbin very helpful with payments, and intinerary questions. Our first meeting with Essalah, was the day before our trip, when he drove to meet us on the outskirts of Marrakech. He met us with a smile and drove us as close to our Riad as possible, before paying a local to take us to the door (which he refused to be reinbursed for) and also to check we were ok and knew the plans for the following day.

The tour we were on mirrored a similar tour conducted by another firm that was cheaper but travelled in big mini-buses lacking air con! Throughout the trip we kept bumping in to these people who were complaining that their drivers didn't stop for photos, didn't speak english and wouldn't tell them were they were going or what they would be doing next. The complete opposite of Essalah, who was insightful, funny, and very accomodating for our requests to stop or stay in places longer.

When we arrived in the desert we left on our camels for our camp and shortly found ourselves in the middle of a sand storm, which was very exciting but we were not fearful as Essalah and our desert guide where brilliant. The sand then turned to rain as an electical storm blew over, and during all this Essalah was fantastic arranging for us to eat our dinner in the tent of a local nomad family who lived in the desert — which was amazing!

Essalah was fist class, very enthusiastic, and made the trip very funny and informative for us. Keep up the good work Essalah and Morroco Explored! I will recommend Morocco Explored to any friend of mine visiting Morocco in the future...

The Landcruiser was very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We only had one hiccup - when the vehicle wouldn't start while we were at Auberge Yasmina in Erg Chebbi and neither would the hotel's car. Minor delay of about an hour. Other than that everything about the car was fine.

Essalah was terrific all around. He made the journey so much more interesting as he shared his insights and background into Morocco. With an engaging personality, wonderful sense of humor, and a candor, we couldn't have asked for a better person with whom to experience the country.

The itinerary and the accolades for Essalah are what prompted us to pick to travel with Morocco Explored. The trip was good and interesting. Wish we might have spent a little more time in the desert and in the Tinerhir palmeraie.

Overall, this was a wonderful experience - getting out of the cities and experiencing the Sahara Desert and the High Atlas and the gorges. It was a treat to spend time seeing another side of Morocco. The night on the camel trek in the desert will always be a highlight, but the most memorable part of our trip will be of our time with Essalah and his wonderful personality as our guide.
