A Splendid Sojourn

This was a fabulous way to experience the ever unfolding panoramas of Morocco. Through ancient caravan towns, hidden canyons, snow caped peaks, towering dunes, alpine forests and even barbary apes you will progress through the heart of the country in comfort and style. The accomodations were well chosen and the meals tasty. Working directly with Starry Tours was very easy and straightforward. They did a great job in communicating the itinerary in advance and were responsive to questions and flexible with modifying the itinerary. But it was Imad, our driver/guide, who made the magic happen. He was knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely a nice person. He did a good job of explaining and giving context to what we were seeing, was responsive to our requests, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible on our journey. All in very well done and it was a fantastic little trip

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!!!

We had a great trip with Youssef! He picked us up from Fes to Merzouga then to Marrakech for the 3 days desert tour. The journey with him was full of fun stories about Berber and we enjoyed the music he played in the car. The scenery along the way is stunning we didn’t fell asleep at all. He makes sure we are well fed and that we have everything we need. He also invited us for tea with his family in Boumalne Dades which makes us feel welcomed like home. Thank you Youssef for giving us the best Morocco experience, we are very are happy with the tour and hope to come back again soon! :)
