Best 5 days hosted by guide Zaid. Zaid was our driver and guide for 5 days starting in Casablanca and ending in Rissani. He was a not only an incredible driver and guide he was a perfect host too. He was very knowledgable in local history of important sites but also the culture too. His personal experiences and his willingness to share his own stories gave us first hand insight into Moroccan life. I would recommend Zaid and consider yourself lucky if you have him!!!

Wonderlust and Hazim are the best! We did a day tour at Chefchauoen with Wonderlust and our tour guide Hazim was excellent!!! Very knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming into his town. Walking around he didn't just know the town, he knew everyone in town! That made it more of a special experience as we felt like we were fully connecting with the culture. He even made sure we found some Sfinge. Delicious 😋. We met him as a tour guide and left as family. Gracias hermano.

Zaid with Morocco made our trip!! Just finished the most amazing 6 days with Zaid- traveling to Chefchaceoun/Fes/Merzouga. Zaid was door to door our host from airport to airport. He was so knowledgeable and personable. A total pleasure to travel with. So sad our time is over. He is the best ambassador for Morocco. We all thank him For his tender care and attention to every detail!!!

Excellent! Having made my trip to Morocco with Wanderlust Morocco Tours was the best idea. Mustapha was a great host. Everything went better than I expected: the tour in Marrakech, the riad, the transportation, the night in the desert, everything was perfect. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him. Thank you!!!

Southern Morocco It was a great experience. We covered the southern part of Morocco. Youness, our tour guide was very informative and made sure we had the best overall experience. He also made arrangements for my vegetarian friend and we had some of the best food as well. He planned out our camel ride in the Sahara desert so that we could enjoy the sunset on our way to the tents. Again, shout out to Youness, great guy and very helpful throughout the trip. Definitely going to plan a trip to the Northern parts of Morocco with these guys.

Definitivamente espero volver a Marruecos algun dia y hacer otro viaje con él y su empresa!!

My husband and I traveled in May of 2025 to Morocco with a couple who are fun neighbors. It was my husband’s second trip to Morocco with Wanderlust. Khalid was our driver and guide. He went above and beyond expectations to keep us safe on the road. While driving he gave us fascinating insights into the culture, religion, agriculture, geography and food of his country. He answered our questions. He also coordinated with local guides to give us tours that were interesting to us. For example, one of us weaves, so we met some masterful weavers working at their looms. He anticipated our needs for rest breaks, made sure restaurants were clean and served the food we desired. We were honored that Khalid took us to his family home to enjoy meeting his family. His mother made delicious Berber pizza and a multitude of tasty treats for us. Her tea was the BEST we had. Wanderlust booked well located and beautifully designed Riads for our stays. Many had hammams, roof top bars and excellent dining. All had large rooms or suites with decor that was fun and exotic. Over the course of 9 days, we felt that we had an excellent experience in Morocco. Winnie and Megan listened to our wishes and offered suggestions that made for a trip that was uniquely ours. We highly recommend Khalid as a driver and ambassador for his country and his Berber cultural roots.

Thank you very much to Mustapha and Hassan. We came all over from mexico and I was very amazed of how they speak very good Spanish. I felt so comfortable since my arrival because they pick me up at the Menara airport, they are very nice people and I am really grateful to them. My tour to agafay dessert was an incredible and unforgettable experience. I totally recommend the quad and the camel tour. Thank you again to take care of my friend and myself really good. I hope to come back soon.

We had an amazing round trip through Morocco. It was fascinating to see different parts of the country. The selection of places to visit and stay for the night was perfect. We were impressed by the diversity and beauty of the country, from the imperial cities to the desert. We also had the best time with Mustafa. He was a great and highly reliable guide as well as a careful driver. He also told us lots of interesting things about Moroccon life and culture - and at the same time gave us our own space to enjoy the country. We loved listening to Berber music and would always go back for another trip with him.
