We travelled as a family with my mother (senior 76yo) and Gboo Morocco planned our 13 day trip with minor customisation perfectly. Aissam is so much more than our driver. He is bursting with fun facts and information about the places we visited, places we passed by during our journeys and full of information to share about his country. We enjoyed his company as much as the wonderful places we visited. Gboo is very responsive during the planning stage of our trip and provided detailed information about the itinerary as well as what to prepare and expect for our first visit to Morocco. The suggested riads were beautiful, clean and comfortable which was great to retire to every night after a whole day of exploring. The vehicle was in good condition and comfortable for the long journeys across cities. Aissam took us to eat delicious local food where locals eat. At Merzouga, Aissam suprised us with performances on the gambiri rendering us with beautiful Gnaoua music. He's a rockstar! He was sensitive and caring towards my mom being more senior and that especially showed through during our Dades Valley walk where he helped her and accompanied her to navigate the rocky trails. I can't say enough good things about him, having a wonderful & fun driver can really make or break a trip's experience! A special mention to our local guide at Dades Valley, Esmaail too. Esmail was fun and knowledgeable throughout our half day walking exploration. Gboo arranged for a homecooked lunch by Esmaail's mother at their home. What a wonderful and warm experience. We really appreciated the opportunity. I highly recommend Gboo Morocco as your choiced local tour provider. Thank you Abdelhadi for the great experience of your beautiful country.

Thank you to Gboo, I had the most magical experience in Morroco. I asked them to customize our trip and they chose a great itinerary for us. We started from Marrakech and drove all the way up into the Atlas Mountains. Stayed there for a night and then went to the Sahara desert on camels. At first, the thought of spending the night in the desert was daunting, but when we reached our spot to watch the sunset, the splendor and the vastness of the desert awed us. It was totally magical. After spending a night in a beautiful tent, (the food could be better there), we had breakfast and then left for Fes and Rabat. Fez is beautiful, but people are not as friendly as they are in other parts of Morocco. The Berbers the Amazigh will win your hearts with their genuine desire to please tourists and treat them as God-sent guests.
I was looking for a spiritual experience in Fes but didn't find anything that uplifted my spirits into a trance.. but our guide and driver took me to the synagogue and Jewish quarters which was beautiful.
GBoo travels are the best but what made it amazing was our guide-Salim who is most knowledgeable about his country and heritage that it was a pleasure to go with him. We can't thank him enough and highly recommend him. Morocco is on my best places to visit list! I love it- for me, the best thing was to be in a Muslim country, not a rich first-world country, and find every public bathroom I used was super clean. I hope this sense of cleanliness comes to other countries!
You don't have to cover and you can pretty much wear what you wear in America- tourists can buy alcohol- and most people speak English- Uber is not reliable- I recommend calling GBoo for the amazing tours they have- all are Awesome!
Thanks Salim-

We decided to do a customised 10 days tour in a van. It is best way to fully experience the rich history and culture and sighting the magnificent mountains, valleys and kasbahs. Our driver, Mohamed was incredibly nice, accommodating and informative. He made sure we got enough toilet and food breaks throughout our daily dusk to dawn road trip from city to city. The Riads and Dars that we stayed are comfortable and spacious. Staff are warm and helpful. Can’t say enough positive things about this tour. It was worth every penny!
