I took an 11 day trip to Morocco with my two adult children to explore our Moroccan heritage. Hassan (the owner of Under Moroccan Sun) helped us plan the route and made sure to include the important spots we wanted to visit, such as the house my father grew up in. Communication with Hassan was fast and very professional. Changes to the itinerary were made with ease. Hassan booked us beautiful, different in character clean riads in every city. The complementary breakfasts were amazingly delicious. We walked in the old medinas, explored the souks (the outdoor markets), spent time with local artisans, visited Jewish synagogues and cemeteries, mosques and kasbahs. The Ibn Danan synagogue in Fes, the oldest synagogue in Morocco, was one of my favorites. We drove the Middle Atlas mountains, and the scenic views and colors were breathtaking. We walked a luscious green track in the Ouzoud falls and visited a family in El Bahlil cave home. Hassan’s tour guides spoke good English, they were very knowledgeable and made sure to give us enough time to explore. Our driver, Mouad, was an excellent and skilled driver who always arrived on time, ready to go with a big smile. I was very touched by the fact that he took the time to locate the house my father was born in, prior to our arrival in Morocco. The apartment is not occupied and he wanted to make sure someone will be there to show it to us when we arrive. Mouad fulfilled every request we had. We loved driving and listening to music together. He very quickly became a family member. We just returned home and can’t wait to plan another trip with Hassan.

Under Morrocan Sun did our tours in Marrakech and Casablanca as well as our transfer from Marrakech to Casablanca. Booking online was easy and hassle free. Hassan responded promptly to our questions/requests. He provided a formal itinerary with the pricing. Once agreed, he sent us a secure link to process payment. Hassan sent us an email with the driver/guide's name, phone number and pick up time the day before our first tour. He also followed up with another email to make sure we were satisfied with the tour, guide, etc. Guides were professional and knowledgeable. Ismael, our driver was outstanding. He was nicely dressed, friendly and shared lots of information about places and traditions. He was careful and drove safely. The vehicle was in good working condition. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended Under Morrocan Sun.

My wife and I recently returned from our 8-day trip to Morocco, all organized by Hassan with Under Moroccan Sun. We found Under Moroccan Sun through a Zicasso recommendation, and from emailing back and forth with a few different companies, the choice was clear that we should go with Hassan. He was great at responding quickly and took note of all our preferences to ensure that we had a great trip - and we did! Also, the price that he quoted was competitive and definitely fair for all that we experienced.
Hassan organized every detail of our trip, from our experiences and local tours to our accommodations. He organized a tour our tour that started in Casablanca, then we made our way to Fes (via Meknes and Rabat) and on to Marrakech (with a one-day stop in Bin El Ouidane), ending with a night in an Agafay Desert camp. We could see Hassan's personal touch in every day of the tour. For instance, my wife was greeted by beautiful welcome flowers in Casablanca and Fes - a very nice touch that she appreciated!
For our accommodations, we were promised to be treated with luxury, and what we received surpassed our expectations. In Casablanca, we stayed at the centrally-located Hyatt Regency, then in Fes at the Riad Salam, with its beautiful mosaics and courtyards. After our stay in Fes, we were greeted to my favorite hotel of all - the Widiane Suites & SPA, where we were welcomed by some of the nicest people we have ever encountered while traveling. The resort is set one of the most beautiful lakes and, best of all, we literally had the entire lake to ourselves. We rented some time on jet skis, and we were the only ones out on the water - talk about luxury! The resort staff left us feeling like movie stars.
At Hassan's suggestion, we stayed at La Maison Arabe in Marrakesh, which was my wife's favorite accommodation. The atmosphere was made of luxury and relaxation. During our second day in the city, my wife was treated to a traditional hammam spa session, and we both took a cooking class with the hotel, which was entertaining and informational. For our last night, we rode camels to the White Camel luxury desert camp, where we experienced a calm night in the Agafay Desert. We would highly recommend staying at any of our accommodations and that you take Hassan's suggestions to heart, as he definitely knows what he is doing.
In each city that we visited, we had a local guide to take us on an informational city tour. We even had one guide who took us on a hiking tour around Ouzoud Falls, which was a lot of fun. Overall, our absolute favorite thing about our visit to Morocco was our main guide/driver, Hamid. We have visited over 30 countries on all seven continents, and Hamid is the best guide we have ever had. He did everything to make sure we were having a great time. We always felt welcome with Hamid, and he also told the best stories that we will always remember. Within the next few years, we would love to return to Morocco and have Hamid as our guide again. If you ever have the chance to visit Morocco, we highly recommend that you go with Under Moroccan Sun and request Hamid as your guide. You will have a wonderful time! Thank you to Hassan and Hamid for such an outstanding trip!

The tour was amazing! Our guide Mohammed was very generous and informative, giving us various historical facts about the areas. I will definitely be coming back here with my children and I've already recommended this tour to my friends in Hong Kong. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.

Had a fabulous holiday---"under the Moroccan sun". Our guide/driver Abdul was fabulous. Always pleasant, always punctual and always polite. A very likeable and helpful young man. Thank you Abdul for taking such good care of us.
Staying at riads was a different yet exciting experience. Without exception every staff member made us feel most welcome and every request was gladly granted.
Breakfasts became boring and repetitive after a while. Not much of a selection.
The smaller guesthouses en route still offerred us omelettes but this was surprisingly absent in the big beautiful riads we stayed at.
Hassan from Under the Moroccan Sun provided us with a good itenary... so although we travelled the route from Casablanca to Tangier then downwards through Chefchouen to the desert and then onto our final destination of Marrakesh...we never felt too tired as the trip was punctuated with rest stops, sightseeing and overnight stays. To feel the life blood of any country one has to travel through the country and see first hand how the ordinary people live. So in that way i feel totally satisfied.
The night in the Oasis Luxury camp in the desert was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Although it was rather cold it was manageable because we came prepared.
Also enjoyed the Diffa fantasia show in Marrakesh. But it would be better to rather go a bit later if you choose just the drinks and show option . Waited ages for the show to begin.
A word of caution at the souks----be very vigilant. Some very unscrupulous vendors there. Make sure of your purchase and keep your eye on what is being wrapped.
Thank you Hassan. It was a wonderful trip and I would highly recommend :Under the Morroccan Sun" for a hassle free and properly planned tour.
Thank you once again Hassan...and all the very best for the future

We as a group of 6 were met at the port by our guide and driver from Under the Moroccan Sun, he spoke fluent English. We stopped in front of Ricks Cafe but did not go in as it was very early in the day, we then proceeded to the mosque... and our guide Hassan was very knowledgeable and explained it thoroughly, we visited the palace and market too, I left my scarf in the vehicle and they are sending to me

My 3 adult children, my wife and I just returned from a 13 day private tour around Morocco that was set up by Under Moroccan Sun and its owner, Hassan. And I could not recommend Hassan and his company more highly. Prior to our leaving, Hassan spoke with me frequently to be certain that we were setting up the details to our liking and leaving nothing to chance. The pricing that he gave us for the trip was extremely reasonable, especially for 5 adults on a long trip staying at top-shelf hotels. (we did not ask Hassan to set up meal reservations, as we did that on our own, although all but one of the hotels included breakfast.) Hamid, our driver, was an excellent companion, an outstanding driver, and was most accommodating, meeting all of our expectations. With one exception, the accommodations that Hassan and I selected were fabulous, And the pacing of the trip was superb. Hassan even dealt with our last minute requests while we were in Morocco -- like setting up a cooking class for us on less than 24 hours notice -- without a flaw. Most impressive was that he kept in touch with me by email throughout the trip to assure that everything was proceeding to our liking.
Hassan and his company are exceptional and Morocco is an amazing country. Please try to go, and if you do, call Hassan and Under Moroccan Sun. You will not be disappointed.

Very knowledgeable about all topics and allowed enough time for each site, our group of six certainly enjoyed Rasheed as a guide sorry if I have misspelled his name

I had limited time in Casablanca and was not arriving early enough to join any of the other half day tours which started at 3 pm in downtown. This tour picked me up at the airport which saved me the hassle of finding my ways to the city. And despite the tight timeline, my guide made a prearrrngement so that I can see inside the Hassan II mosque!! No other tour offers the inside tour!! And it was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. And the guide and the driver were both very nice
