Amazing tour in morocco by Moroccan odyssey

We just completed an unforgettable two week journey with Moroccan Odyssey Tours in June, guided by the incredible Mr.Youssef and driven by the skilled and reliable Adnane. From Casablanca to Rabat, Tangier Chefchaouen, Volubilis, and Fes, every stop brought new discoveries and then the magic in the Merzouga Desert ATV rides, sand‑boarding, and a camel trek during a breathtaking desert sunset. (Highly recommended!) Next, we relaxed at a Eden boutique in Dades Valley before heading to Marrakech, with an exciting, on‑the‑fly detour to the spectacular Todgha Gorge thanks to Youssef’s flexibility and Adnane’s calm professionalism. We experienced everything from sunshine to sandstorms, rainstorms, and even flooding it was thrilling! Highlights included feasting on tagine, exploring vibrant medinas, sipping fresh sugarcane juice, and tasting the juiciest oranges. This trip was pure joy, and we all wish we could’ve stayed longer! Our heartfelt thanks to Youssef, Adnane, and the entire Sirocco team for an amazing time it truly was the trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this company!

Best Experience Ever!!

Honestly, we have nothing to complain about, we are so glad we made moroccon odyssey our tour company of choice for our travel arrangements in morocco. They were very professional and prompt to respond, from beginning to end. We had the best of guides, who were well spoken and very knowledgeable in all cities/towns. Our driver Adnane is the best and a good driver. He is always either early/on time, never late, always available/accomodating and flexible should plans need to change, very knowledgeable, patient, respectful. We are back home and cant wait to visit morocco again, for our next trip to sahara desert and would definately choose moroccan odyssey again.
