Morocco Tour Operators

I’m looking for recommendations for a small-group Morocco tour and would especially love to hear from anyone who has traveled recently. Any tour operators you’d recommend?
Thanks!

We worked with Wild Morocco in 2019 and were very well cared for. My brother worked with them just last fall and also had a great trip.

Imprint Tours (started by a former Rick Steves guide) has tours to Morocco. I highly recommend them.

I did a 10-day private tour with Morocco family vacation company with my family recently, and we had a fantastic time. Even though it wasn't a "group" in the traditional sense, having a private driver and guide gave us a similar level of support but with much more flexibility.

I experienced a fantastic 13 day tour in Morocco in Nov 2024 with OAT, Overseas Adventure Travel. There were 14 people in our group. I think the group maximum is 17. Everyone in our group was very happy with guide and itinerary. Plus there is no single supplement charged by OAT for this and many of their tours. Check out their website for specifics.

@darren--no, we had a guide named Mustaphe, but I get the sense that most of their guides are great!

Hi,

For a small-group Morocco tour, I would recommend checking a few things before booking: recent reviews, whether the tour is private or shared, the quality of the riads/hotels, what type of desert camp is included, and whether local guides in Marrakech and Fes are part of the price.

A good 8–10 day route could be:
Marrakech – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Merzouga Desert – Fes – Chefchaouen – Casablanca or Tangier.

If you are travelling recently, also ask about driving times, as Morocco is beautiful but some routes can be long.

Happy to help with itinerary ideas for Morocco

I've been following this thread with great interest. We are mostly independent travelers, but we'd like to do Morocco with a tour. The trip I'm envisioning is February or March, a week or so on our own in Southern Spain and than 10-12 days in Morocco. I'd really like to see, Chefchaouen, in particular. I realize that its a geographic outlier, but I'm not really seeing tours that include it. Imprint does it, but the appear to do only one tour and in the fall.

Jules, the OAT Morocco tour has a 3-4 day Chefchaouen pre- or post- tour extension offered on many of their tour dats.

I recently signed up for the OAT Morocco trip in March 2027. Looking forward to it. As noted, they have pre or post tour extensions to see even more of Morocco, but I thought the base tour was sufficient (Rabat, Fez (plus Meknes and Volubulis), Atlas and Sahara, Marrakech, Casablanca). I had such a bad time in Tangier once that I and my companions turned around and went straight back to Spain, the only country I’ve disliked so much as to cut short a planned stay, but that was over 40 years ago, I was very young and inexperienced with travel, and it’s time to try it again with a good tour company.

I took the OAT trip in 2018 and it was very good. I notice that they now have two versions of this trip. The new trip is several days shorter. The longer trip offers a pre-trip extension to Chefchaouen and Tangier.

We spent two incredible weeks traveling through Morocco last June, and it was truly one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. From the moment we arrived until our departure, Hassan Bouaouina and his team at Uniquely Morocco made the entire experience exceptional.

Hassan did an outstanding job organizing our journey. Everything was thoughtfully planned, from the beautiful riads where we stayed to the fascinating places we visited along the way. The accommodations were wonderful, with so much character, beautiful traditional Moroccan architecture, charming courtyards, and warm hospitality. Staying in these riads made us feel connected to the country's culture and traditions in a way that a standard hotel simply could not.

What truly made the trip special, however, was our guide. Hassan's knowledge of Morocco's history, culture, traditions, and everyday life was remarkable. He brought every destination to life with fascinating stories, historical insights, and personal experiences. We learned so much, but the trip never felt like a history lesson. Instead, it felt like traveling through Morocco with a knowledgeable local friend who genuinely wanted us to discover and appreciate his country.

We loved exploring the ancient medinas, discovering beautiful architecture, meeting local people, enjoying delicious Moroccan food, and experiencing the incredible diversity of the country. Every day brought something different, and there was always a wonderful balance between sightseeing, cultural experiences, relaxing moments, and time to explore at our own pace.

We especially appreciated the personal attention, flexibility, and care that went into every detail. Hassan understood that a great trip is about much more than visiting famous landmarks. It is about the people you meet, the stories you hear, the places you discover, and the memories you bring home.

After two wonderful weeks, we returned home with a much deeper appreciation for Morocco and its people. We cannot recommend Hassan Bouaouina and Uniquely Morocco highly enough to anyone planning a private trip to Morocco. If you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate guide who will help you discover the real Morocco, Hassan is an excellent choice.

Thank you, Hassan, for such an amazing journey. Morocco exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure these memories for years to come!

Highly recommended!
