Morocco Local Travel Experts

What a great 10 days we spent in Morocco! We highly recommend Perfectly Morocco Tours, which we found through the Rough Guides portal, and specifically Aziz. We worked with Aziz via WhatsApp to build a custom plan for our trip: Marrakech, a day trip to Essouira, then Volubulis, Fez, Chefchaouen, Rabat and back to Marrakech. Aziz found intriguing riads for us, met us at the airport, set up tour guides in a number of venues, and did long hours of driving. The guides were uniformly interesting people; we had plenty of time for conversations with them and with Aziz that added personal texture to what we were seeing as tourists. We included several experiences at his recommendation; the visit to Chefchaouen, for example. Those turned out to be among the best parts of the visit. But wait, there's more! When a Moroccan friend recommended a classic cookbook (the paperback of which you can find for $250 on Amazon), Aziz took it upon himself to find a copy for us -- and he had it within a couple hours of arriving in Rabat (we're sure he didn't pay even a fraction of the Amazon price -- he declined to take payment). We decided we wanted to add a visit to Majorelle Garden on our last morning in Marrakech. Aziz got the tickets and told us the visit should take about 45 minutes. We like gardens, and said we would take longer. We were done in 45 minutes. Of course. Morocco is an intriguing country, and a major tourist destination. Even in late February, Marrakech in particular was jammed with tourists already, which can be a little off-putting. Still, the people we met without exception were friendly and helpful. Our experience was absolutely first-rate.
