it all started very good with Moha our guide picking us up from our accommodation on time. this agency is taking all the precautionary COVID-19 measures. we started journey 7 am through the beautiful landscapes of the High atlas mountains, few stops in viewpoints with panoramic views on Berber villages in the mountains. after 4 hours drive we arrived to the magical ait Ben Haddou with was the highlight of the trip, our lovely guide Moha is very friendly and well informed about the history and the culture, and then we visited the film studio and Taourirte Kasbah in Ouarzazate. i would say that the journey is a bit long but it's worth it, but if you have more time than what I had you can take an overnight trip to ouarzazate this agency organise that. so grateful Moha thank you again

What a wonderful trip! Abdul was prompt and courteous and drove a clean, spacious vehicle. He expertly drove us through beautiful scenery, sharing local knowledge about the towns and landmarks we were passing. And the falls! Abdul gave us time to explore but understood it was time to go when our young children were tired. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion! We would do it again!

We were lucky enough to spend 4 hours with Med, wandering the souks and alleyways of Marrakech. Med is very personable, all smiles, provides much insight into the city and culture and encourages you to ask many questions. He took us to places which we would never have found on our own including a stop for tea, bread-making, Bahia Palace and the fascinating labyrinth of alleyways. Definitely recommend Med if you want a magical tour with someone who is patient, attentive, knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does.

We just spent 10 glorious days in Morocco with Soufiane, our driver who escorted and transported us throughout our stay. Before we even arrived in the country, our flights and itinerary changed multiple times due to covid. Jamal, the owner of Easy Take, was excellent with communications and cheerfully accommodated every change we threw at him. Given his kindness and very reasonable fee, I knew we selected the right transport for our trip. Soufiane greeted us at the airport and we began our journey in Marrakesh. We were immediately taken by Soufiane's excellent English and comfort driving the roads of Morocco. We told him we wanted a guide for Marrakesh and he arranged a wonderful guide who met us at our Riad the following morning. We next drove off to Ouarzazate where we stopped for a tour of Ait Benhaddou on the way. The next day we went to a desert camp near Merzouga, one of the many highlights of our trip. Because of the pandemic, the camp was empty and Soufiane was able to stay in a nearby tent. We loved his company so much and were grateful that he shared the experience with us. After our stay we went to Fes, where Soufiane again arranged a wonderful guide to show us the city. Throughout our trip, he made sure we had all our needs met and was available to us anytime. Our next stop was Chefchaouen, a beautiful blue quaint town in the north. Soufiane joined us for dinner and it was another highlight of our trip. Our final stop was Casablanca, where his final drive was taking us to the airport. Because of the bond we had with Soufiane, it was actually sad to say goodbye. We are so grateful to Jamal, Soufiane and Easy Take Transport, all of whom made for a most memorable and special trip.
