7-Day Private Morocco Tour from Marrakech

Q: Is Morocco safe to visit?

Yes. Morocco welcomes millions of visitors every year, and most trips go smoothly. As with any destination, check your government’s latest travel advice before you go. Your driver and our team are on hand throughout the trip if you need anything.

Q: How do I book this tour?

Send us your travel dates, the number of travelers and your preferred package. We’ll confirm the route, accommodation and final price with you. A 25% deposit secures your booking, and we explain the balance payment options before you confirm.

Q: Is the deposit refundable?

The deposit is non-refundable. If an emergency stops you from travelling, you can use it for a future trip within two years. Please contact us as soon as possible so we can explain the arrangements and any hotel cancellation conditions that apply to your booking.

Q: Can I book this tour online?

Yes. Use the Book Your Tour button to choose your dates and number of travelers, then review the packages and booking options. You can also send an enquiry first, and we’ll confirm your route, accommodation and final price before you book.

Q: Can this tour be customized?

Yes. Every tour is private, so you can add a night, slow the pace, skip a stop or change where you start and finish. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll send you an updated route and quote.

Q: Should I tip in Morocco?

Tipping isn’t required, but it is customary and always appreciated. Many travelers tip their driver and guides at the end of the trip and leave small tips in restaurants and hotels. Give what feels right for the service you received.

Q: Can I choose my own hotels?

Yes. Pick one of our four packages, or tell us the hotels and riads you have in mind. We’ll check availability for your dates and suggest alternatives where they suit the route better.

Q: Where can I get more information about this tour?

Get in touch by email, WhatsApp or the enquiry form below. We usually reply within a few hours and are happy to talk through the route, the hotels or anything else before you book.

Q: Which days have the longest drives?

The longest drives are on Day 6 (Merzouga to Marrakech via Rissani and Ouarzazate): about 9–10 hours of driving, plus breaks; and Day 3 (Marrakech to Dades via Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate): about 6–7 hours of driving, plus visits and breaks. We leave early and stop regularly for meals, photos and rest. Times vary with traffic, weather and how long you stop along the way.

Q: How much walking is involved?

Most walking happens on the guided visits, including the short walk into Todra Gorge and the Marrakech medina. Expect uneven streets, slopes and some steps. Tell us about any mobility needs before booking and we’ll adjust the pace and visits. Comfortable shoes help.

Enjoy a private 7-day Morocco journey from Marrakech, combining the city’s cultural sights with mountain scenery, kasbahs and the Sahara Desert.
