 Verified 7 days 6 nights 💗 We did the 7-day, 6-night Morocco tour during my boyfriend Luca’s birthday and it was truly unforgettable. Every detail was well-planned — from the breathtaking landscapes of the Sahara to the charming streets of Chefchaouen. The accommodations were comfortable, our driver-guide was knowledgeable and kind, and the camel trek under the stars was a magical highlight. Celebrating a birthday in such a special way made it even more memorable. Highly recommend this agency for anyone seeking a seamless and enriching Moroccan adventure!

 Verified The Perfect Getaway We decided to go to morocco for my husband's birthday and also to celebrate our Anniversary. I have made the best decision of booking all our activities with Morocco Package tours. Addi has always been a good companion, our trip was very fun because of him. We were very comfortable and felt safe in all our excursions in the different city of morocco. Each city is breath taking, packed with an amazing culture and stories. My husband loved our visit in Chefchauen, and my personal pick was Fez. I still can't get over with our riads in each city as they were all very lovely. We will always book our Morocco trips with Morocco Package tours, especially with Addi.
