"We had 7 days customized trip in Morocco, it was a wonderful trip. From very beginning, the owner of the company Mr Mehdi Lahrech gave us very professional suggestions and help us to design the trip, he always answered our questions very quickly ( day and evening ), and take care of all details. During the trip, he contacted us almost every day to check if everything went well. Our personal guide and driver Ayoub, is a very kind and experienced driver, he took care of all contacts with hotels we stayed. I feel this is a company can be trusted. The only advice I would like to give here, if you plan a trip to Morocco, you'd better to ask the this company to arrange everything. We made a big mistake that we booked the hotels by ourselves, then turned out that some hotels (Riads) are very bad, we misled by the rate, but the whole visit were nice, we visited all places we expected."

"I organized this trip for myself and 3 girlfriends, all young at heart. We were recommended Deeply Morocco by a friend and are so very grateful,because our 17 day tour around Morocco was fantastic. We started in Rabat/Sale on to Chefchaouen, then Volubilis & Fez. From there to the desert making multiple stops along the way including seeing the Berber maqaques. We spent 2 night in the tents and could have stayed longer. Camel rides, sand dunes and very starry nights. From there to Skoura and the beautiful lodge L’Ma. The Atlas mts, Marrakesh and then Oualidia. I dealt with Mehdi, the owner, through the process and he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. He was also very accessible to reach. We stayed in beautiful Riad’s, ate wonderful food and had superb guides. The icing on the cake of this tour was our driver/guide Achraf who was with us the whole time. He is smart, nice, great knowledge of history, extremely easy-going and entertaining. I highly recommend using Deeply morocco , and request Achraf, if you’re lucky to get him." Read moreless...
