Hassan, and all the guides we work with are officially licensed guides. Sometimes – for example on a walking tour of a few hours – we use the services of informal local guides. But if you book a trip with a guide with us, you can assume that you are traveling with an official guide.
We will explain why this is the case below.
When planning a trip to Morocco, at Travel Magical Morocco we always strive to provide you with an unforgettable and enchanting experience. One of the ways we achieve this is by working with officially licensed guides in Morocco. But why is this so important? We explain this below.
Local Knowledge and Expertise
Our licensed guides are local experts steeped in knowledge about the history, culture, and traditions of Morocco. Due to their years of experience and deep-rooted connection with the country, they are able to give you an authentic look at the fascinating sights and destinations of Morocco.
Whether you wander the winding alleys of Marrakech’s Medina, explore the majestic Sahara Desert, or admire the breathtaking beauty of the Atlas Mountains, our guides will guide you with insight, passion, and enthusiasm, enriching your journey with valuable insights and unforgettable experiences.
In addition, a local guide always brings his own story with him. A guide was born and raised in Morocco and knows better than anyone what it is like to live in this beautiful, but also challenging country. By traveling with a local guide you have the opportunity to gain a glimpse into other people’s lives. One of the important parts of traveling. And a perfect way to learn from each other.
This is an experience that a non-Moroccan guide cannot share with you. That is why we also consciously work with local guides.
Safety and Security
Safety comes first at Travel Magical Morocco, and our licensed guides play an essential role in this. They are trained in safety procedures and protocols and will ensure that your trip is smooth and hassle-free. Whether it’s navigating busy markets, organizing transportation or anticipating any challenges along the way, our guides are always ready to ensure your safety and comfort.
In addition, our guides do not work on a commission basis with shops, cafes or restaurants. If they take you somewhere, it is because the food is good or the products are beautiful. But not because they have to make money from it. And if you don’t feel like going to a store (and neither does the rest of the group) or want to shop somewhere else or eat something, that’s fine too. It’s your holiday and our guides are there to make sure you have a good time. And not to earn commissions from others.
Profound Cultural Experiences
Traveling with our licensed guides allows you to experience Morocco’s culture on a deeper level. From sharing stories of local traditions to introducing traditional foods and music, our guides bring Morocco’s rich and diverse culture to life in a way that can only be experienced through authentic interactions and local connections.
In addition, it is also easy for a local guide to make contact with people you meet. To explain and translate things, and tell what is happening and why.
The nice thing about a guide is that you can ask all those things that you don’t know the answer to; what do you see? What is happening? Why? For example, you can also talk to your guide about history, culture, and religion. And ask all the questions you want.
Respect for Local Communities
By choosing officially licensed guides, we respect local communities and contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in Morocco. Our guides operate locally and actively contribute to the economy and well-being of their communities, resulting in a positive impact on local living standards and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Morocco is a country that relies heavily on tourism. That is precisely why we want to ensure that local people can share in this.
In short, at Travel Magical Morocco we strongly believe in the added value of working with officially licensed guides in Morocco. Through their local knowledge, expertise, commitment to safety, and respect for local communities, we can offer you a travel experience deeply rooted in authenticity, purpose, and enchantment.
We look forward to welcoming you on an unforgettable trip through beautiful Morocco!
With warm regards,
The Travel Magical Morocco Team
