I hope you get this fantastic guide! - Hassan Hissan is the most remarkable guide I’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond for his tourists. For example my sister and I wanted to visit a particular place... read more nearby but not on the tour. He accompanied us on what should have been his evening down time.

He’d go out of his way to accommodate requests. Hassan’s encyclopedic knowledge of Morocco is presented in an engaging way and he encourages questions. In all my travels he’s by far the best guide I’ve ever had and made Morocco truly magical.

Hassan was our guide for a week exploring Morocco. It was everything we could have asked for and even more. At first we did not know what this trip will... read more bring, but Hassan and his driver Mohamad provided excellent service. They showed us Morocco, introduced us to their culture, took us to beautiful places and most importantly took such a great care of us during the trip. Morocco is very safe place (did not know that before this trip), but with two of them we felt super safe. They seem to know everyone in Morocco!!!
Prior to coming, we have changed our itinerary 1001 time and Hassan always said it is ok.
We started our trip in Marrakech at a small and beautiful riad, followed by trip to desert, Atlas Mountain (must do) and finishing in Essaouria. Every place we went to was fantastic. Thank you Hassan for a magical trip and for choosing perfect places for us to stay.

My husband and I traveled on a seven day tour with our amazing tour guide Hassan and his very nice an attentive driver Mustafa.
Hassan made sure our trip was... read more truly Magical! We we're picked up at Marrakesh airport at 12.00 AM and taking to our Riad. We requested to begin our scheduled tour 3 days after arrival to allow us time to recover from our jet lag and 9 hours time difference, Hassan is very easy and gentle young men, he agreed to our schedule change and suggested couple walking city tours, for the next two days, we we're introduced to his professional and very knowledgeably team. We learned a lot of Marrakesh history, super interesting!
The Magical tour for seven days began, we we're picked up at the our Riad by Hassan and his driver Mustafa, a very nice, clean and spacious black SUV. the rest was truly a fantastic experience, Hassan is very knowledgeably of the countries history and his Amazigh heritage and people. He answered all our questions with great easy and sense of humor. He carefully chose the stops to make this trip enjoyable and easy on all of us, the main points of interest: Casablanca, Fes, here we spent 2 nights in a fabulous Riad and experience great service Ifrane, (known as little Switzerland ) we climbed to the Middle High Atlas Mountains and even experienced snowing... what a delightful surprised, we stopped in this small village, Hassan and my husband played throwing snow balls at each other, afterwards we enjoyed hot chocolate the best! On our way out we saw Barbary macaques off the road and stopped for pictures, we continued to the Sahara Desert... Mustafa is a very fun men and very skilled driver
We felt very secured and relaxed the entire time, by the time we reached our Sahara Camp we were all-ready friends and felt so comfortable in their company. The Great Sahara Desert appeared before our eyes we arrived to the camp at the golden hour, where we stayed at the most beautiful Glamping site. (glamorous camping) true to it's name. We we're tired for we had travel all day, however, with all the beautiful sites and the hardy laughter it was not monotonous at any time. After a good nights rest we had a great breakfast, went for an outing to surrounding camps and visited with Nomad families, quite interesting to see how content they live, they warmly invited us to their guest tent and offered their wonderful mint tea. Finally, it was our great moment ridding the Camels and enjoy the glorious Sahara Desert! The Camels are very easy and gentle we got great
instructions and help, so it went very smoothly, carefully planned at Sunset, as a photographer I truly appreciated the timing... Spectacular, fun and breathtaking. Altogether a great experienced, the temperatures for this time of the year (March) is warm during the day with temperatures dropping at night. One of the best travel experience my husband and I have had, Morocco is a melting pot of great people, they are hospitable, kind and very welcoming to tourism. I can tell you that Hassan and his team at the camp will give you their attention and care for your every need from beginning to end. On our way back we took another route that kept our interest and and felt as a total bonus, we stopped at another Riad for a good night's rest in the morning, Hassan brought coffee to our room and later we met fro breakfast, afterwards we took a short and pleasant a nature walk, next day we continue our way back to Marrakesh, Hassan made sure we visited a wonderful Amazigh museum, we stopped at open markets and bought fruits, nuts, dry figs and plenty of dates... delicious.
Morocco has so much to offer with its an abundance of fruits, flower,vegetables, spices and of course all the beautiful handmade traditional Moroccan outfits and artisan industry, we bought a lot of souvenirs and enjoyed the great food.
Travel Magical Morocco truly delivers the Magic we highly recommend Hassan and his great team
afra502 2 april 2022
My recent trip to Morocco with my wife was the trip of a lifetime. Let me explain that I am 84, and I have lived and traveled all over the... read more world. With Morocco, I have now been to every continent on Earth except for Antarctica. I was born, raised, and educated in Sweden. I lived and worked in Europe. I moved to and became a citizen of the USA. I have traveled to most of Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand, the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador: you name it. I’ve seen the Wonders of the World. I consider this one the trip of a lifetime, though, because of the opportunity to have met, sung, and eaten with and volunteered to serve the Moroccan people in their villages, in their homes, away from the tourist hotspots. I have never been anywhere else where the people – every man, woman, and child – were as warm, hospitable, and good-hearted as the people of Morocco. I do believe that they are the greatest tourist attraction and economic resource of the nation. If it were not for our superior guide, Hassan Hisse, there is no way we would have had the same chances. We are forever in his debt.

Hassan is one of the best guides I've ever been on trip with. He knows everything about the village, but also about things you'll pass along the way like the... read more nature and surroundings.

This was one of the best week's away I have ever experienced, action packed, visually stunning, an elixir for all the senses. Sights; stunning scenary everywhere you look, the majestic... read more sunrises and sunsets and the hustle and bustle of the medina markets which I loved. Sounds; of street performers, market sellers, calls to prayer, laughter at the dinner table and the unmistakable bleats and rumbles of the camels as they took us on our Sahara trek. Wonderful aromas, of spices, fragrant oils, roasted Argan nuts and fresh rose products from Rose Valley, and touch too with the Sahara desert between your toes whilst walking and camel riding across the dunes, fantastic experiences. But fudamentally, what made this trip away so enjoyable for me (other than being able to escape the wet and windy weather in England in December and experiencing all and more of what I have tried to portray above) was getting to know my fellow tavellers who came from all over the globe and to have the chance to interact with the very friendly Moroccon people where ever we were, including the wonderful Hassan our tour guide who never failed to make us feel special, welcome and valued; wise, knowledgable and always there to help and share his wealth of experience and insight into Moroccan culture and traditions. Thank you Hassan. Without hesitation a 5 star experience.
Bruce123B 21 december 2019
What made this trip superb...beside the experience of traveling in Morocco....was our most remarkable guide. Hassan Hisse was simply exceptional in every way. I have traveled a... read more great deal in my life largely related to work and have always been allergic to the very thought of a group trip. This was my first such trip and if Hassan were my guide I would never hesitate to do it again. He is smart as a whip about his country; his physical agility , his sensitivity and seemingly effortless ability to understand the special needs and the limitations of what was basically a middle aged assemblage of people was stunning and singular. And all this was underscored by Hassan’s wonderful sense of humor and the speed with which he adjusted to the cultural differences within the groups One more note: as we toured various sites I overheard the leader of another group explaining in the most unenthused and rote fashion what they were seeing. Hearing this I realized once more just how lucky we were to have Hassan as the person who introduced us to Morocco
