My visit to Morocco was most enjoyable
Both the bus and driver were excellent. The driver is to be congratulated on his ability to negotiate such a large vehicle through the narrow, winding streets of some of the places we visited.
Our guide, Mohamed Zeroual, is very knowledgeable and has excellent English. He was extremely pleasant and helpful and has the right personality for being a tour guide. Being a tour guide is not easy, but Mohamed made it appear to be so.
The whole Tour was extremely well organised and the places visited were very all interesting, intriguing and beautiful. Many were of very significant historical and social interest. Great attention was paid to details.
Hamid, the man who was helping out on the bus was very attentive to the passengers needing help getting onto and off the bus, as was Ali, the driver. Hamid also made sure we always had water when returning to the bus and he was also very careful with the luggage. All of which which was reassuring.
I definitely would recommend Pure Morocco. There is no doubt, the choice of places and things to visit was exceptional.
All was exactly what we asked for
All in all the tour was exactly what we asked for and the driver and guides were very good at their jobs.
Meedle(?) was our driver for the day and he was on time… early in fact… dressed neatly and the vehicle was very well presented and the airconditioning was very appreciated on this 50 degrees day.
Mohammad was our guide for the morning and he was indeed very knowledgeable and managed to get us into the sites we asked for with out any long lines and missing the big tourist buses.
Fatima was our afternoon guide and she also was very knowlegdable and took us to a great restaurant for lunch.
I would recommend Pure Morocco and if I return again I would certainly use your services.
We enjoyed our tour in Morocco
The car was good—very comfortable for a passenger van. The only feedback I would give it to wash the windows every morning as we tourists are always looking out the windows at things (and sometimes trying to take pics)!! They weren’t very dirty but it would be a nice touch if they were totally clean starting out each day.
We loved our driver and have no complaints; the tour guides were all good. Our favorite day was the day in Chefchaouen and our guide that day also was the best.
We really appreciate the extra effort made by Mounir in organizing last minute tours for us and our family—the situation kept changing and he was very flexible and diligent at organizing things for us—even very late at night.
Yes, we would recommend Pure Morocco.
