Clients Testimonials
it was a dream to visit morocco. the trip was much more than i expected. the desert tour was something extraordinary. the guide took us for a camel ride and there was an intense exchange of experiences, curiosities. I was delighted and very happy with what was proposed.
We booked a 3 days desert tour at Admirable Morocco Tours. It was a memorable experience seeing the sunset and sunrise in Sahara. One of the most beautiful things you will ever see! They were really kind all the time and they also explain us a lot of things about the desert and the Berber culture. We will come back for sure!
My girlfriend and I had the best time in Morocco and would like to thank everyone who contributed for taking care of us and for being so kind and helpful. If you're looking for a stress-free holiday during which you can totally experience the beauty of Morocco and its people - then look no further 🙂
