Private Guided Tour of Casablanca

Private and Customised Moroccan tour

Right from the get-go, Mouad guided and chauffeured us to all the beautiful sights of his country, and shared with us his stories and knowledge of the history and culture. He even opened up his home with us, inviting us to have Berber pizza with his gorgeous family. And when I fell ill, he took excellent care of me, ensuring I had enough water and rest, and proper meals. Thank you for the beautiful memories!

Response from the operator: Dear Ken, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Mouad exceeded your expectations with his exceptional hospitality, knowledge, and care. We appreciate your kind words and are grateful you had an amazing experience. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Best regards, Hassan

Excellent Adventures in Morocco

We did a one-week driving tour through Morocco with our local guide and driver, Mouad. Mouad was great! He always had a smile on his face and nothing was a problem he wouldn't tackle. We arrived in Marrakesh and drove to the picturesque Todra Gorge - wow! spectacular views. We did some beginner rock climbing with an expert guide and rented a bicycle to visit nearby rock formations and learn about the local cultures. Mouad was engaged and helpful with small things like getting local fruits and helping with communication. After that, we drove to the edge of the Sahara and rode camels into the sunset. We slept in a luxurious tent at a camp in the desert near Merzouga. We continued onto Fez, Rabat, Casablanca, and back to Marrakesh. At each locale we met with a local guide who provided insights on life in that city. All the guides helped us take beautiful photos that captured the local experience. We loved staying at the recommended unique properties (riads) which were comfortable to luxurious but gave a local flair. The travel was easy and safe with our driver providing lots of fascinating insights on life in Morocco. We are looking forward to our next visit. We would recommend them and plan on using their services again.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your incredible Moroccan adventure! We're thrilled that Mouad's exceptional guidance, warm hospitality, and flexibility made your driving tour truly unforgettable. Your enthusiasm is contagious! We can't wait to welcome you back to Morocco for another unforgettable journey.

Exploring our Moroccan heritage

I took an 11 day trip to Morocco with my two adult children to explore our Moroccan heritage. Hassan (the owner of Under Moroccan Sun) helped us plan the route and made sure to include the important spots we wanted to visit, such as the house my father grew up in. Communication with Hassan was fast and very professional. Changes to the itinerary were made with ease. Hassan booked us beautiful, different in character clean riads in every city. The complementary breakfasts were amazingly delicious. We walked in the old medinas, explored the souks (the outdoor markets), spent time with local artisans, visited Jewish synagogues and cemeteries, mosques and kasbahs. The Ibn Danan synagogue in Fes, the oldest synagogue in Morocco, was one of my favorites. We drove the Middle Atlas mountains, and the scenic views and colors were breathtaking. We walked a luscious green track in the Ouzoud falls and visited a family in El Bahlil cave home. Hassan’s tour guides spoke good English, they were very knowledgeable and made sure to give us enough time to explore. Our driver, Mouad, was an excellent and skilled driver who always arrived on time, ready to go with a big smile. I was very touched by the fact that he took the time to locate the house my father was born in, prior to our arrival in Morocco. The apartment is not occupied and he wanted to make sure someone will be there to show it to us when we arrive. Mouad fulfilled every request we had. We loved driving and listening to music together. He very quickly became a family member. We just returned home and can’t wait to plan another trip with Hassan.

Great Value!

Under Morrocan Sun did our tours in Marrakech and Casablanca as well as our transfer from Marrakech to Casablanca. Booking online was easy and hassle free. Hassan responded promptly to our questions/requests. He provided a formal itinerary with the pricing. Once agreed, he sent us a secure link to process payment. Hassan sent us an email with the driver/guide's name, phone number and pick up time the day before our first tour. He also followed up with another email to make sure we were satisfied with the tour, guide, etc. Guides were professional and knowledgeable. Ismael, our driver was outstanding. He was nicely dressed, friendly and shared lots of information about places and traditions. He was careful and drove safely. The vehicle was in good working condition. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended Under Morrocan Sun.

A Luxury Trip through Morocco

My wife and I recently returned from our 8-day trip to Morocco, all organized by Hassan with Under Moroccan Sun. We found Under Moroccan Sun through a Zicasso recommendation, and from emailing back and forth with a few different companies, the choice was clear that we should go with Hassan. He was great at responding quickly and took note of all our preferences to ensure that we had a great trip - and we did! Also, the price that he quoted was competitive and definitely fair for all that we experienced.  Hassan organized every detail of our trip, from our experiences and local tours to our accommodations. He organized a tour our tour that started in Casablanca, then we made our way to Fes (via Meknes and Rabat) and on to Marrakech (with a one-day stop in Bin El Ouidane), ending with a night in an Agafay Desert camp. We could see Hassan's personal touch in every day of the tour. For instance, my wife was greeted by beautiful welcome flowers in Casablanca and Fes - a very nice touch that she appreciated! For our accommodations, we were promised to be treated with luxury, and what we received surpassed our expectations. In Casablanca, we stayed at the centrally-located Hyatt Regency, then in Fes at the Riad Salam, with its beautiful mosaics and courtyards. After our stay in Fes, we were greeted to my favorite hotel of all - the Widiane Suites & SPA, where we were welcomed by some of the nicest people we have ever encountered while traveling. The resort is set one of the most beautiful lakes and, best of all, we literally had the entire lake to ourselves. We rented some time on jet skis, and we were the only ones out on the water - talk about luxury! The resort staff left us feeling like movie stars.  At Hassan's suggestion, we stayed at La Maison Arabe in Marrakesh, which was my wife's favorite accommodation. The atmosphere was made of luxury and relaxation. During our second day in the city, my wife was treated to a traditional hammam spa session, and we both took a cooking class with the hotel, which was entertaining and informational. For our last night, we rode camels to the White Camel luxury desert camp, where we experienced a calm night in the Agafay Desert. We would highly recommend staying at any of our accommodations and that you take Hassan's suggestions to heart, as he definitely knows what he is doing.  In each city that we visited, we had a local guide to take us on an informational city tour. We even had one guide who took us on a hiking tour around Ouzoud Falls, which was a lot of fun. Overall, our absolute favorite thing about our visit to Morocco was our main guide/driver, Hamid. We have visited over 30 countries on all seven continents, and Hamid is the best guide we have ever had. He did everything to make sure we were having a great time. We always felt welcome with Hamid, and he also told the best stories that we will always remember. Within the next few years, we would love to return to Morocco and have Hamid as our guide again. If you ever have the chance to visit Morocco, we highly recommend that you go with Under Moroccan Sun and request Hamid as your guide. You will have a wonderful time! Thank you to Hassan and Hamid for such an outstanding trip!
