About
Best Travel Morocco specializes in private guiding, transportation and accommodation, arranging bespoke expeditions throughout Morocco for private clients, groups and families. Best Travel also offers a range of outdoor activities, wilderness adventures, training courses and logistics to individuals and corporations, as well as unique lodge, outpost and retreat experiences. COMPANY HISTORY: Best Travel Morocco is the result of many years of experience and extensive research. Because of the limited access to the web and communication tools, its activities were initially limited to the local desert, but since 2007, the organization changed it's name from "Amazan" to "Best Travel Morocco", Then, Best Travel has expanded throughout Morocco and has now become one of the largest and well known tour operators in the country. The word 'Amazan' means messenger in the local language and refers to the traditional role within the tribes of the person responsible for travelling great distances to pass information from one tribe to another. We here, at Best Travel - Formerly Amazan - believe that the spirit of the messenger lives in the spirit of the explorer, and in the spirit of all who love the land. Our guides are also passionate about communicating the message of our people, the people who have been connected to the desert landscape for millennia and we want to share that with all who are interested in our way of life. COMPANY ETHICS: Best Travel Morocco strongly believes in "RESPECT" in the Buddhist sense. We embrace diversity and offer our staff and clients a tolerant environment free of harassment and prejudice. We respect the land and wildlife. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT: We strictly abide by "Leave No Trace" as well as Eco-tourism practices, and we dedicate a percentage of our resources and revenue to environment and wildlife protection, through Imodda Charity.

Our Best Travel Morocco experience was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to our fantastic driver/guide Lahou who went above and beyond to make it an educational and entertaining experience. He not only navigated the roads with skill and precision but also took the time to share fascinating insights about the places we visited. It was like having a knowledgeable friend guide us through the journey. His passion for the destinations were infectious. The journey felt like a blend of adventure and stand-up comedy, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats and in stitches of laughter.
The accommodations through Fes, Sahara Desert (Camp Tizri), Marrakesh, Dades, and Casablanca all offered great character, comfort and peace. Overall, this is surely one of the most memorable trips I’ve been on. We did a custom tour with 9 days and not a dull moment. Highly recommended.

Our girls trip to Morocco was pretty amazing. Highly recommend Best Travel Morocco who took care of our itinerary — tours, activities and accommodations. Our cute and witty driver/guide was Lahou — responsible, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, trustworthy and honest. He made sure we were always safe and taken care of. Bonus was having Lahou run with me in the mornings (6-9 miles). Great running guide through paved roads and trails. He’s also a very good football (soccer) player who is fluent in French, Spanish and English, in addition to Aerobic and Berber.
Everything was perfect— very nice accommodations, transportation, and food recommendations. Travel agent was very professional and responsive from the very beginning.
After a week, we walked away more educated as we learned so much about Morocco’s history, culture, lifestyle and religion.
My favorite destination was the Sahara Desert and staying at the luxury Camp Tizri. Camel ride and star gazing was amazing.
We stayed a total of 9 nights and saw so much, but if I had to do it again, I would plan for a 14 day itinerary and have a few extra days to explore and visit the coast (Eussuira).

Let’s start at the beginning, Hmad was very responsive. He prepared the itinerary which was shared in advance and adjusted according to our wants. Accommodations at the Riad and Dars were outstanding. Transaction was very easy and he promised a terrific guide.
1) wire transfer
2) credit cards surcharge
Our driver/guide Houssein (Lahou) was Funtastic. He is an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the history of Morocco with Spain and France (of which he spoke both languages and English) . Recommend to carry cash (MAD). Exchange outside the airport or ATM avail with surcharge. Whilst in the desert, he let his true Berber self join the band of musicians rocking the guests with fun music under the moonless night sky filled with stars. Being from Dades, he shared his love of his home town, a Beautiful part of Morocco. Under his recommendation, we enjoyed the Hammam on the last day. Thank you Best Travel Morocco…for giving my friends and I a magical experience in your country! Thank you Houssein for the hospitality extended!

Best Travel is easy to work with. They hear your preferences and alter the itinerary accordingly. We spent 16 nights in Morocco. Our preference was to slow the trip down and spend an extra night in several locations.
All accommodations were beautiful and comfortable. We chose to stay in riads in the medinas and a desert camp (very luxurious).
Feeding monkeys peanuts and being in the desert were favorites. Staying in the medinas and getting a fell of the country and its people was important to us. People on the street were extremely helpful and everyone seemed to speak a bit of English.
Driving in Morocco is challenging and our driver handled it easily. He was very personable and considerate especially on long drives.

We did a 4 days trip Marrakech - Desert and it was absolutely great. Our guide Lahue was a lot of fun to be with, and he told us a lot about marocco culture, history and people. Accomodations were extraordinary, and the only thing 'not so good' was that we only had 4 days, we should have taken six, do some hiking in the Atlas mountains and another day in the desert. So this won't be our last trip in Marocco and with best Travel, and I can only highly recommend the agency.

This was our first time to Morocco. Like all of our trips my wife planned the whole thing. I had no idea what I would see. The company and Ahmed have created a wonderful itinerary. This trip is a great way to see and experience Morocco. There are soo many things that I liked. The camel ride in the Sahara dessert. Staying at various Riads. I have to say my favorite thing was exploring Morocco with our driver/guide Lahou! We spent 15 days with Lahou. He was very enjoyable knowledgeable any easy to be around. We would love to go back to Morocco and would hope to travel with Lahou again!

We just returned from a customized 15 day tour of Morocco, and what an incredible adventure it was! BTM was a great travel company to work with. We were able to see and do so many of the unique experiences Morocco has to offer. Amed was quick to respond to our e-mails, and his knowledge of his country was vital in helping us plan our trip. Before leaving, we had a detailed itinerary so we knew just what to expect. Their guides and staff are top-notch: knowledgeable, multi-lingual, and very professional. Do make sure you have plenty of local currency, as many places only take cash, and tipping is expected, even at the restrooms!!
We visited Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, the Rif Mountains, Volubilis, Fes, Myknes, Marzouga (Tiziri Desert Camp), Dades Valley, the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech, and Essaouira. Our accommodations were spectacular, leaving us feeling well cared for while still maintaining a Moroccan authenticity, which was important to us (I have reviewed the accommodations separately). Our day guides in the various cities were incredibly knowledgeable and spoke English very well so we did not miss a thing. Rashid was wonderful in Fes making sure we learned all about the numerous artisans working within the Medina, and we felt very safe with him in such a bustling place. Mohamed was very kind and patient getting us familiarized with Marrakech and made sure we were comfortable in the 100 degree heat. Amed was present at our favorite stay, Tiziri Camp in Marzouga. The passion he feels for his country is apparent in the amazing time we had there. Riding a camel through the desert as the sun sets is indescribable and an experience of a lifetime.
But I have save the best for last: Lahou.
Lahou was our driver, guide, DJ, lunch date, and now treasured friend. Because of Lahou, our trip was elevated to a level we never expected. Seeing so much of a country required a lot of driving. I always felt safe with Lahou at the wheel. He has skills! Navigating the traffic in Morocco is no small feat. He always got us close to where we needed to go, made restroom stops, took us to great places for meals, and helped us navigate the menu so that we could try traditional Moroccan dishes. He was very accommodating and stopped whenever there was something interesting to see. He also picked up unique and wonderful Moroccan snacks for us, such as dates, fruit, or fresh baked bread. He was personable, professional, and very good at reading our energy. At one point I did not feel well, and he made sure I was cared for. He stayed with us if needed, and periodically checked up on us via What's App if we were on our own. When we decided to try a Hammam rather last minute, he took care of calling around and finding us a reservation at beautiful and reputable spa. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! His intelligence, knowledge, sense of humor, car games and playlist, were some of the best memories we have of Morocco. Thank you very Marrakech Houssain Lahou!
Through BTM and Lahou, we were able to truly experience this diverse and friendly country. I highly recommend this tour comapny if you wish to visit Morocco.

We did a 3 day tour from Fes to Marrakech via the desert and it was an amazing experience. Communication in the lead up was easy and the over night stay at tiziri camp was the highlight! Special thanks to Amed and his team and our driver Mustafa. It was a trip to remember and I highly recommend Best Travel Morocco. They can tailor your needs and offer lots of options for exploring Morocco

This was a trip of a lifetime! We did a 5 day tour, covering a lot of ground within a short period of time. I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Our driver, Lahou, was personal and interactive without being pushy or overbearing. He gave excellent recommendations and was very accommodating of our requests. Highlights would have to be the Sahara Desert camp and camel ride at sunset. My friend's son turned 13 during this trip, and Lahou went out of his way to surprise him with a birthday cake at the Desert Camp while the camp hosts sang happy birthday. Certainly a memory that he will never forget and a huge surprise!
All in all, I give this company and Lahou my highest recommendation!

I'm going to travel to Morocco in December 2023 and plan to hire a private driver. I have my own route map, and I know where I want to go. Could you please provide me with a quotation for this trip from Fes > Chefchaouen > Tangier to Casablanca?

I can’t speak for gate 1 travel, but best travel Morocco will give you a personal tour of Morocco no mater what destinations you chose, I 100% reccomend. I’m not sure gate1 will give you that perfect amount of flexibility and customization.

We have a one night layover in Istanbul (both ways) are arriving at 4pm, and have a flight at 10am the next morning... and then have another(our second layover we arrive at 9pm and leave 2pm the next day).
how far is your hotel from the airport? do you provide transportation to/from airport and how much?
Great reviews!!
Thanks
