 Verified Great Affordable Private Tour of the Sahara Desert We had a great experience with this company on our recent trip to Morocco. Mohammed (the owner of the company) was very responsive during the booking process and worked very hard to let all the appropriate people know about my husband's food allergies. Mohammed (our tour guide) was also wonderful. We did a 3 night/4 day tour from Morocco to Fes via the Sahara desert that involved a lot of driving. I am usually a nervous passenger, but I felt very safe and not concerned when driving around Morocco. When there was free time, he made suggestions for things we could do, but we were able to make decisions about what we wanted to do, etc. He made arrangements for us to ride ATVs the second night we were in the desert and that ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the trip. The food on this tour was fabulous and Mohammed made sure to find good options for us for lunch. We also made frequent stops for bathroom breaks and to stretch our legs while driving. The hotels we stayed at were amazing, especially the hotel in Dades and the luxury desert camp. We were originally planning to do two nights at the desert camp, so we were disappointed to hear that we were going back to a hotel for the third night, but the company explained why they were suggesting that we go to a hotel (heat-related reasons) and gave us the option to stay at the camp or do the hotel. We ended up going to the hotel once we understood the reasoning behind this. When coming to Morocco, it is totally worth the time to make it all the way to the Sahara. Riding a camel to the desert camp and being in the dunes was amazing and there is nothing like it in the world. Advisor Morocco Tours is an affordable option that made this possible for our family of 4.

 Verified A Trip That Stole Our Heart My sister and I had an incredible 10-day trip around Morocco, and it was amazing from start to finish. ⭐️ A special thank you to our driver, Mohammed, who made the journey so enjoyable. He is an excellent driver, always made us feel safe, recommended some fantastic local restaurants, and even let me play my favorite songs during our long drives, which made the road trips even more fun. ⭐️ The highlight of the trip was definitely the Sahara Desert. Riding the camels, spending the night at the camp, and sitting outside under the moon was simply magical. ✨ It is a memory I will cherish forever. ❤️ Every destination had its own unique beauty. Casablanca was my favorite city, with the Sahara being my favorite overall experience. I also really enjoyed Fes, especially the local guided tour with Hassan. He shared so much about Morocco’s history and culture, and I learned a lot. ⭐️ This was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken! Morocco is beautiful, it has truly captured my heart, and I will definitely be back. And if I return, I would choose to travel with Mohammed again without a second thought. He was kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared that we had a great time. We always felt safe, well looked after, and welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I highly recommend this company!⭐️

 Verified Fantastic experience!! We were a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children aged 13 and 9. The experience was awesome. Planning with Mohammed via email was super easy.. So easy that upon paying the deposit I was scared we were being scammed as the whole process was extremely easy, the deposit low and they were very accommodating with our wishes. But it was anything but a scam! Our holiday was perfectly planned, the hotels and riads were comfortable and clean and close to main attractions. The guide Hamid and drivers Mohammed ansd Ibrahim were very helpful with great tips on what to see and do and we also got to eat in local places getting the true Moroccan exerience. All the trip was very well planned and we strongly recommend this agency for a relaxing, hassle free holiday in Morocco.

 Verified Highly recommend! I went on a 5 day tour and I can only say that it was really good. As a solo female Im very careful but Muhammad made me feel really safe. I had given the itinerary that I wanted and had completely left everything on them to do. They planned out everything. I loved the riads. The tour guide,Ahmed, in Fes was amazing. My favorite part was camping in the desert. It was absolutely amazing. Muhammad was very accommodating. He tried to answer all the questions that I had. Let me play my music as much as I wanted on the radio. Took my pictures. I would highly recommend them over and over again.
