Amazing tour, we decided to go to Morocco in last minute for 10 days tour in Morocco.
The Morocco desert gate was responsive immediately and able to customise all our requirements effectively despite the short notice.
The tour guide’s welcoming and attention to detail make our trip memorable ✨️ 💓
His knowledge of the country makes him a real ambassador of Morocco.
The whole trip was perfectly tailored made for our needs and requirements, accommodating all the places we wanted to visit and more…
The accommodations arranged by MDG were fantastic and they gave personalised service as he himself took the time to take us around the country.
A memorable trip, we highly recommend his company and services.

I want to give as complete a review as possible because it really deserves to be better known. I spent a total of 10 days tour in Morocco with my girlfriend, touring it all and I can say that Abdul and his group are the perfect choice if you want to live a real 360 degree experience. Before leaving he is always available for any clarification, to perfectly adapt the experience based on the days chosen and what you want to see. On their site there is already a wide choice of packages for those who wish to go with a ready-made option but, I would advise, the tailor-made experience remains the obvious choice for me. No one else would have allowed us to experience what we experienced with a local in terms of food, accommodation (some of which are dreamlike and it’s not a joke, even I didn’t believe what I saw the first time), experience (go to the desert of Merzouga, you won’t regret it), history (in Fez we were in the company of a guide who lives in the Medina, speaking perfect Italian 🇮🇹, who made us experience the city) and fun (our driver was Abdul for the whole trip and always made us feel at ease, having fun). Give this group a chance because you won’t regret it and you will go home reluctantly
