Morocco in 12 days
We booked with this company which is affiliated with Travel Local as they offered a great deal and all the sites and places we wanted to see. We chose the budget tour and it delivered everything and more. Each destination was amazing and so varied. All the accomodation was spotless, and only two we would of changed, our first night in Casablanca was in an odd location but handy for the tram and the Riad in Tangier great location but had drainage issues. Our guide Walid, was kind and generous with his time and made our journey easy and relaxed. I would recommend this company for anyone who is doing a first visit to Morocco, a country of natural beauty and incredible landscapes.
Response from the operator: Dear Heather, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review and for choosing us for your 12-day journey through Morocco. We’re delighted to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the diversity of destinations, the cleanliness of the accommodations, and the overall experience. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the Casablanca hotel location and the Riad in Tangier. Your comments are invaluable and will help us refine our accommodation selections to ensure an even smoother experience for future guests. It’s wonderful to know that Walid made your journey relaxed and enjoyable — we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to him. Thank you once again for recommending us to future travelers. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Morocco for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Hamid & The Morocco Sahara Desert Travel Team

Fabulous trip to Morocco with MSDT
Our trip to Morocco with MSDT was delayed due to Covid but well worth the wait. Three of us spent 13 days in this beautiful diverse country led by our amazing driver/guide Khalid. We spent our nights in Rabat, Chefchouen, Meknes, Fes, Midelt, Mezouga, Dades, Marrakesh and Oualidia and loved the drives from place to place- so much to see in this country! The local guides arranged by Hamid were very knowledgeable and we learned about their country from them. We especially enjoyed staying in the beautiful Riads, riding camels to our overnight stay in the desert, roaming the alleys of the Medinas, eating Berber Pizza and the peaceful sounds of the ocean at Oualidia. Morocco Sahara Desert Tours is a topnotch tour company, easy to work with and we highly recommend them. MSDT listened to what we wanted, and made it so easy to sit back and enjoy. We were well taken care of, and would enthusiastically recommend MSDT to our family and friends!
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you very much for your balanced and fair review of Morocco Sahara Desert Travel. I'm glad to know that you have enjoyed our service. It's something we've worked hard on and we're pleased our efforts resonated with you. I appreciate your kind words and professional demeanor. We're happy that you're happy with Morocco Sahara Desert Travel, and we're looking forward to your next visit. Always you are welcome to Morocco

Morocco Sahara Desert Travel (MSDT) is the BEST
MSDT agency put together a fantastic tour representing Morocco’s major cities and villages as we passed through the Atlas Mts. and Sahara Desert areas. The specific tours were comprehensive yet modifiable based on our small group’s needs. We were steeped in traditional culture from the riads within the old medinas, the narrow streets filled with colorful Moroccan goods and foods, to the desert camp via camel in the Erg Chebbi Desert. Our tour driver became a friend and trusting cohort enhancing our 11-day van travel to the next level. The agency owner paid close attention to our needs at every stage and was always just a phone call away if needed. MSDT comes highly recommended. ***Be sure to have plenty of smaller dirham available for tipping staff at most public water closets, restaurants, tourist attraction areas, etc. These people depend on your generosity!

Attentive caring tour operator
Hamid is very responsive and easy to reach if any issues arise during the trip. We planned the itinerary together, and he pointed the places that are good for only one night, and the ones that are worth staying longer. We planned an 11-day comprehensive trip, going around Morocco, more or less as many tours. He did provide us with a very nice big vehicle for the two of us (A Toyota Land Cruiser) with an English-speaking driver. In the big cities of Fez and Marakesh he provided a licensed knowledgeable guide. The drivers provide some information based on their knowledge and they do know the areas and towns one visits. In some places we met some other of his drivers as they were all going through the same circle. Our driver was very polite, always on time, and was a fairly good driver, but we accepted more information, and a little more talkative driver, as we spent many hours on the road. We stayed in mainly 4-star Hotel/Riads, but that designation is a bit deceiving, as they vary in different locations, and most were pretty good, but lacking some of the standards that we are used to. But overall, Hamid chose good places, as in some areas the options are limited. I suggest looking at the pictures, descriptions and reviews of places before you lock them. Some of the places had some minor maintenance issues, and with some better care, they could have been much better. The intention of the owners was always good, and they were great hosts in every place, trying to please and being very hospitable. So just keep in mind it's a big country, lots of travel, but you will meet wonderful, friendly and smiling locals. Most of the roads were very comfortable, and many newer roads with plenty of new gas stations along the highways with usually food, markets and clean bathrooms on the road. In addition, note that they had cell towers everywhere, even in remote areas, which made staying in touch easy. Overall, it's a fascinating country with hospitable and friendly people. Hamid route really gave us a great overall feel of the country from cities to remote villages on the Atlas Mountains, and even one night in a tent in the Sahara Desert. He is local and he knows the country well, so I will recommend his services over out of the country tour operators.

Spellbound Morocco
From the day we landed into Marrakech (12 Feb) to the day we left (23 Feb), our whole experience about Morocco didn't disappoint. Our amazing driver (Mostapha) was there to pick us up and delivered us to our beautiful accommodation. We knew straight away the standard and level of accommodation we had booked as part of our package for the entire journey. Our whole journey around Morocco was totally breathtaking and jaw dropping. We've only seen things about Morocco and her cities on television back home in Australia, but it's a whole new meaning seeing these cities, monuments, sights first hand in person. I must confess, visiting the Sahara Desert was truly amazing. Totally recommend. Each city is truly different to the next. Same are layed back and chilled and others are fast and happening. I guess that's the diversity that Morocco can offer you. One thing I must say that was truly a highlight for us, was the guided tours that came included in out package. Marrakech and Fez. The wealth of knowledge and experience they shared with us left us spell bounded. Trust me we had plenty of questions which they answered. Another thing that we both loved and it goes without saying. Was our driver. His knowledge and experience of the cities, roads and the local areas was outstanding. His driving skills were impeccable and you felt safe in his care. Also, our tour operator Hamid. Who organised our itinerary from start to finish. We ever had to to change dates on a couple of occasions and the pick-up and drop off points. All of this was effortless and not a problem. He was truly happy to accommodate our personal needs. I would totally recommend anybody who wishes to visit Morocco, to utilise the services of this tour operators.
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you very much for your balanced and fair review of Morocco Sahara Desert Travel. I'm glad to know that you have enjoyed our service. It's something we've worked hard on and we're pleased our efforts resonated with you. I appreciate your kind words and professional demeanor.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco cost?
+
Prices start at $1227 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.
Is 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12 Days Tour to the Heart of Morocco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marrakech?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
