We are a 60-something married couple who recently made our first trip to Morocco, hosted by Adrar Eco Tours. We expected Morocco to be beautiful, and it exceeded that expectation by a lot. What we didn't expect was the breadth and depth of culture across the country. We had stops in Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fes, Rabat, Marrakech, and Agadir, and it is almost as if we visited multiple countries. Casablanca is a huge metropolis with many Western-style offerings. We even had a white tablecloth, fine dining experience with craft cocktails at a restaurant overlooking the ocean. From the blue beauty of Chefchaouen in the north, to the ancient medina in Fes – be sure to visit the leatherwork shops; we came away with amazing handmade jackets and a messenger bag for my son – to the narrow streets and endless shops of the medina in Marrakech, to the Westernized tourist destination of Agadir (yes, people were surfing in the ocean!), the sights, sounds, and people were amazing.We have traveled quite a bit and can handle being out of our element, but we arrived for our tour with no functioning Arabic or Darija (the Moroccan dialect of Arabic ) or Tachelhit (the indigenous language) at all. As such, we found our Adrar hosts to be absolutely essential. And that was not just to overcome the language barriers, but also to handle the driving (Moroccan driving is an acquired skill, even for Chicagoans like us), luggage, and other daily needs. We wouldn't visit Morocco without them.Morocco is bigger than you might think, so be mindful of the distances. Driving from Chefchaouen in the far north to Agadir in the far south would take about 10 hours. Next time, we would schedule longer stops in fewer destinations to get the most out of driving those distances.Our accommodations were mostly riads, small inns that Adrar booked for us. Adrar did a great job of balancing our Western expectations – comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, etc. – with terrific local flavor. Our riads featured beautiful tile work, intricate wood panels, lots of tapestries, but all with comfortable modern features.Food is one of the great aspects of a trip through Morocco. We had the ubiquitous tagine, of course, but also experienced a wide range of seafood, vegetable platters, continental breakfasts, even a camel burger (tastes like beef!). Alcohol is not as ubiquitous as it is in Europe or the U.S., but in the larger cities, restaurants serve beer, wine, and cocktails. We were able to try a domestic bottle of wine, which we thought was quite nice. You will find the prices to be very welcome if you are used to American restaurants. We hosted a dinner at a very nice place on the ocean in Agadir for 10 people, and the total bill was less than $200 American. Not a typo!Adrar Eco Tours also hosts mountain climbing/rock climbing/outdoor adventures. That's not our thing, but when you see the beauty of the Anti-Atlas mountains in the countryside beyond Agadir, you'll be tempted to try that, too.
Had an amazing experience in Paradise Valley thanks to our guide Brahim. Brahim made the experience absolutely seamless taking care of all the details and ensuring we were comfortable and having fun. My Mom is older and it was such a relief not having to worry that the tour would be too difficult for her, and ensuring her safety by calling out any somewhat tricky steping. Brahim took us to less crowded areas and really knew how to show us this amazing place- they don't call it paradise valley for nothing! Brahim knew all about surrounding area and gave detailed responses to all of our questions. The quality of the tour was more than I have seen from other companies and experiences. I can not recommend enough!
Adrar Ecotours was excellent from start to finish! the team was very helpful, quick to organize my day trips after my original plan was canceled. the guides were experienced and made my hiking and canyoning experiences both fun and authentic.
A trek of several days in the Tafraoute area (Gorges d'Ait-Mansour, Tagdicht, Taroudant, Anamr) left me with nothing but good memories.The judicious choice of accommodation meant that the trek was well suited to the participants. Brahim, as “master of the place”, was able to amaze us by showing us authentic landscapes and villages, far from the hyper-touristic places. His kindness, humor, anecdotes and constant presence made this trip unforgettable.
We heard about Adrar Ecotours from a recommendation and booked a mountain hike in Tafrout for two people. Rachid (our guide) was very professional and spoke English perfectly. the hike was beautiful, and we felt well taken care of the entire time. Mark & Katherine
Brahim and his team made everything so easy and enjoyable. They had everything ready for us from transportation to lodging. Their guides are friendly and knowledgeable. My sister and I had a great time visiting and exploring, the souks and old medinas are amazing in culture and history. The food is outstanding. The hospitality of our guides and hosts cannot be overstated.
Excellent support from Brahim! I contacted Adrar Ecotours to organize a tour for our group of 10, and he helped create a perfect itinerary! Brahim listened to what we wanted and gave very good price. Thanks for all the effort and helpfulness. will definitely book again, much appreciation to Adrar Ecotours team!
I had a wonderful time touring Morocco's southern region! The beaches of the Atantic coast were stunning, but the real highlight for me were the gorgeous Anti-aAtlas mountains. I enjoyed hiking through this picturesque landscape and exploring the beautiful nature of the region. The area is home to Amazigh (indigenous) people with a rich history and culture. The architecture of old forts is captivating, as is the intricate embroidery of the traditional dress in Tafrout. Traditional Ahawach dance and music is enchanting and the local foods such as mosimon, a fried bread sometimes sweet and topped with honey, or savory and filled with onions and peppers is certainly worth trying! I would highly recommend a trip to southern Morocco!
Full day of trekking, with amazing views, local culture, and comfortable homestays. camping with views of Adad Medni summit was unforgettable! Mohamed made the tough terrain feel easy with his expertise. this trip isn't built for those seeking luxury, but if you want an authentic Moroccan adventure, this trip is a must!
Having never traveled to Morocco, the best of Morocco tour was a well-organized and memorable trip. it covers all the must-visit places in Morocco, including the Sahara Desert. our guide, Abdel, was amazing, encouraging, and always making sure we were safe and cared for. from the blue streets of Chefchaouen to the camel trek through the Sahara. we even met a group of couples in there, danced to nomad music around the fire, and shared incredible memories. the Hammam experience in the oldest Hammam in Marrakech was a bless. I highly recommend this trip!
