EXCELENTE Com base em 186 avaliações Publicado em Simone CVerificada Uma viagem incrível pelo Marrocos Foram 17 dias em Marrocos com minha irmã, pernoites em 8 cidades diferentes, além de várias outras de passagem. Paradas em lugares espetaculares durante quase 2500 km percorridos, sob os cuidados do nosso motorista e guia, Youssef, da Agencia Marrocos Tours, que fez de nossos dias inesquecíveis. Sempre atencioso e prestativo em todas as situações, além de falar fluentemente o português.Tivemos guias locais em algumas cidades e todos, sem exceção, foram maravilhosos e gentis nos mostrando suas cidades e peculiaridades.A experiência no deserto e a nos acampamentos nômades dos Berberes (povo originário da região) foram, sem dúvida, as mais marcantes e enriquecedoras.Ficam aqui nossas recomendações para visitarem o Marrocos e aproveitarem cada detalhe!Publicado em Priscila sVerificada Viagem excelente pelo Marrocos! O Tour privado foi maravilhoso! Excelente!! Atravessamos o Marrocos, conhecendo as principais cidades, com guias experientes e muito atenciosos. Fomos muito bem recepcionadas e assistidos durante todo o período da viagem! Segurança no transporte e tranquilidade por 17 dias de passeio! Adoramos tudo!! Super recomendo!Publicado em Ana AmaralVerificada 12 days expedition through Morocco I found the Morocco tour agency on the internet, and because of many positive reviews, I contacted. I was very well taken care of by the manager, Yussef. Moroccan who has a beautiful history, who speaks Portuguese, and knows everything about his country. Absolutely all the details of the trip were managed by him, we didn’t have to worry about anything but “go”. All transfers, hotel bookings, tours... all perfectly organized. And the selection of hotels is primordial... all beautiful, and with Moroccan architecture... a primor! We had amazing days in the desert, where I was invited to marry by my fiancé, who had Yussef's help to organize the request, making the moment something very special. All I have to do is compliment Yussef and the team. All very professional, punctual and organized. I indicate too much, so that a few weeks after my trip my mother will also travel with him. Only success for the Morocco Tours agency! Trust and you will not regret it.Publicado em Silvia DVerificada An unforgettable trip through Morocco with the best guide! From day one, the welcome of our guide Youssef made all the difference on the trip. Extremely intelligent and gentle, he speaks Portuguese fluently, in addition to French, English, Spanish, Arabic and the Berber language (arzagub) — which has made each conversation even richer.Youssef gave us a true immersion in Moroccan culture and Berber lifestyle, explaining with depth and enthusiasm about the local traditions, landscapes and even the plantations and agricultural cultures we encountered along the way.The hotels selected were exceptional — all beautiful, comfortable, very well located and with delicious breakfasts. The desert walk was simply unforgettable, with an experience that exceeded all expectations.Youssef took care of every detail with a special affection: he prepared a birthday surprise with cake in the campsite, and also organized a romantic engagement in the dunes, with a table and wine at sunset — moments that will forever remain in memory.I recommend Youssef to everyone who wants to know Morocco in an authentic, safe and unforgettable way. It turns a good trip into a perfect experience.Publicado em FpittellaVerificada Morocco dream come true We were looking forward to this trip long before we could go. Finally, in September we were able to travel to Morroco. Marrocos Tours was the bridge to our plans to a dream come true: Youssef took care of all the bookings, hotel reservations, restaurants and transfers. We travelled absolutely hassle free and safely, visiting Marrakech and beyond! The dromedary ride and desert camping is a must, and all the places we have been through (Ourzazate, Dades Valley, Mersouga, Rissani, and Errichidia) were interesting stops. Marrakech deserves 3 or more days! We are already planning to return, and hopping Marrocos Tours would be able to support us again!Publicado em Maria SVerificada Unforgettable Morocco Experience with Youssef and Hana! From start to finish, Youssef made our trip truly unforgettable. He was incredibly organized, kind, and full of fascinating stories about Morocco’s history and culture. Every detail was carefully thought out, and we always felt safe, welcomed, and well taken care of.Our first day in Marrakesh with Hana set the tone for the entire journey — she was warm, engaging, and showed us hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Thanks to her, we experienced the city through the eyes of a local, tasting incredible flavors and learning traditions that will stay with us forever.If you’re visiting Morocco, you couldn’t ask for better guides. Absolutely recommend Youssef and Hana!Publicado em Ana Sofia GonçalvesVerificada Unforgettable experience The country is very beautiful, the people friendly and our guide is friend Youssef has become a member of our family. We will recommend everyonePublicado em Jorge Manuel Ma... LVerificada Admirably surprised by Youssef!! 👏👏👏 Excellent experience, I already knew Marrakesh, and the initial idea that I had of Morocco in the end was 360° away, Morocco is mandatory to meet with Youssef, we are very happy and strongly recommend, sure that you will also be very happy and happy!!Publicado em FabianaVerificada Wonderful experience with Morocco Tours Our trip was amazing. Our driver Hassan was very intelligent and cordial, and spoke Portuguese perfectly. We spent 10 days travelling from Casablanca to Marrakesh, going through several cities. The car was very good, the hotels chosen by Youssef surprised us too, they were wonderful. We also had private guides in Fez and Marrakesh, which made the experience more enriching. Even going with agency, I suggest researching where to eat, and what to do in the big cities, because we had plenty of free time. I returned home even more passionate about this millennial culture and this country, which is very safe and welcoming. The images will never come out of my memory. Thank you Morocco.Publicado em Marília VVerificada Excellent service! We love the walks! Excellent service! All guides (especially Hamid, who stayed with us longer! Great professional and being human!) They were great, attentive, helpful, fluent Portuguese speaking! We felt very well supported, by professionals who know and understand cultural differences, treating us with kindness and care! Thank you and congratulations on your work!
