My wife and I booked a 9-day trip through Morocco with Abdel at Original Travels. He was responsive and customized a great trip according to our preferences. When we arrived in Casablanca, Karim was waiting for us at the airport and was an excellent driver and guide throughout our stay in the country. He is friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. We had a fantastic trip and highly recommend Original Travels. We would also encourage you to request Karim because he is an exceptional ambassador for Morocco.

A wonderful 12-day trip in Morocco planned by Original Travels. It was a trip of a lifetime. Our driver, Tarik took really good care of us, and our booking manager Said was always very responsive. I recommend using their agency so we can see the entire country from a local perspective.

I spent a wonderful two weeks in Marocco- a beautiful and surprising country. Everything is organized professionally, smoothly, and perfectly! – just as I wanted. Karim, my guide-driver took care of every detail to make me feel good and hosted like a queen🌺, it is wonderful to just follow someone and not worry about the schedule, and feel safe, relaxed and cared for. If you want to spend your vacation with a smiling, positive, professional, and sincere guide – ask for Karim.

What an experience! Couldn’t have asked for a better journey – thanks in no small part to our magnificent driver, Tarik. We moved at our own pace (well, the pace of our kids!) and Tarik was so relaxed and accommodating … finding us good coffee, and recommending places to explore. Thank you Tarik and team!
