Inforgettable holiday experience with Adnan

This was such a memorable trip in so many ways! Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful experience with Moroccan Odyssey Tours, right from the moment we first inquired about an 11 day trip. They always answered questions promptly and the booking experience was very straightforward. The itinerary they provided (with some of our own customizations) allowed us to see so many highlights of Morocco with a nice mix of beautiful scenery, historical points of interest, bustling markets, city tours and the stunning desert, After riding dromadairs and seeing the beautiful sunset, our overnight desert “glamping” experience in a luxury camp (with air conditioning, a full bathroom/shower and a 5 course meal with a dinner show ) was so enjoyable and exceeded our expectations. The rest of the hotels/riads shoused by Moroccan Odyssey tours were also very nice- and good combination of charming and exotic in safe locations. One of the things that stood out to me most about the Moroccan Odyssey Tours team was their attention to details. Despite being a budget-friendly tour, the accommodations were comfortable and well-appointed, providing a welcome retreat after a day of exploration. The car and driver services were more than what we really expected as the car was fully having amenities every day ( fresh wather,snacks,news paper depending of your country,wet napkins and a great wifi connexion ) Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Morocco with us, providing fascinating insights and recommendations at every turn. One of the best parts of trip that will leave us with lasting memories was our driver, Adnane. He was interesting, kind and considerate and felt like family before too long. Through him, we learned so much about Morocco and about his roots in the nomad lifestyle and the Berber community. He was knowledgeable, warm and a lot of fun! Overall, we would highly recommend Moroccan Odyssey Tours! There is a fair amount of driving involved when you want to see so many parts of the country, but if you get a driver like Adnane you will definitely enjoy the ride! Thank you Moroccan Odyssey Tours ,,,😘😘😘
