Our Testimonials
The best way to experience Morocco
Morocco is a beautiful country to visit with incredible natural beauty, amazing old cities (Medina), the nicest people and vibrant culture. A truly land of contrasts. My mom and I stayed for ten days. Seven of those ten days were planned through Begaa Tours. We made a round trip in the country that started and ended in Marrakech. We visit Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, Midelt, Tinghir, Merzouga, Ouarzazate and several other small villages and towns in between.
I can not stress enough how amazing Begaa Tours was in showing us this wonderful country. Ahmed, our driver/guide, was terrific. He really knew his history and the fun facts of all the regions we've been through. He was a safe driver and super flexible about what my mom and I were interested in and what we didn't want to see. Begaa Tours is open to tailoring the best experience for you; I enjoyed all the Riads, Hotels, and Experiences they provided. Morocco wouldn't be that amazing without Begaa Tours. Thanks, guys!
The Best Morocco Tour!!
Begaa Tours tailored our amazing 14 day tour of Morocco to suit our personal travel style. They included hotel, riad and camping options to cater to our preferred accommodation type and organised transport to suit our small group of 8 (2 X 4WD Toyota Prados) Our two tour guides, Ahmed and Muhammad, were so professional, knowledgeable, willing and able. Nothing was too much trouble for them to handle or fix at any time. They both had friendly personalities with big smiles on their faces and great senses of humour to boot. They were both excellent drivers and took us to see the best of Morocco including Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, the Ziz Valley, the Atlas Mountains, the Essourian coast, the Sahara, and so much more in between. This interesting, diverse and very colourful country is a must for all to see. You could not find a better tour company to take you on a more magical journey than we have just had. Thank you BEGAA TOURS. You are "The Best"!! 'Mushi Mushka'!!
Begaa Tours Moroccan experience
This was an excellent experience with great tour guides looking at all the excellent places in Morocco. The accomodation was great, from Riads in the old cities to desert tents and more modern accomodation.
Both Ahmed & Mohammed were full of knowledge, and accomodating of our needs. The Camel ride in the Desert was an experience as well, from sand storms, to rain and clear skies the next morning. I would recommend Begaa Tours, and definitely do it again
NO BETTER WAY TO SEE MOROCCO
Our unbelievable 14 days with Begaa Tours in Morocco started in Casablanca and finished in Marrakech travelling through Rabbat, Meknes, Chefchaouen the blue city and onto Fes with 2 days to explore this amazing ancient city. Moving on to the Ziz Valley near Aoufous, we stayed in a beautiful hotel overlooking the date palm hub of Morocco. Our 2 hr guided walk with Said through the local farming plots under the date palms was a fantastic way to witness the day to day life of the village families working their farming plots. On our arrival at Et Taous the camels were waiting to begin our 1 1/2 hour afternoon trek into the Sahara Desert at sunset for our amazing overnight 'glamping experience'...wow this tour is amazing! The breathtaking drive over the High Atlas Mountains heading through Marrakech en route to the coastal city of Essaouira for a relaxing day and last minute shopping.
Another family member had previously travelled with Begaa Tours on 2 other occasions and had assured us of the high standard they deliver. WELL DONE Ahmed and Mohammed, your are true professionals and your guiding skills and knowledge of your amazing country are first class...the Riads were excellent...we will always remember our Moroccan Adventure with Begaa Tours.
