Marrakech 2026 My husband and I visited Morocco and hired Ahmed for airport transfer and to be our driver around the city and to our activities surrounding Marrakech. Morocco private excursions also helped us hire a private guide for the souks and museums. Both our driver and guide were excellent, friendly, spoke good English, and were very professional. The car was clean and they had bottled water which was a nice touch. Highly recommend this company! Thanks Ahmed and Morocco private excursions!

Wonderful 9 days road trip. A trustful company and professional driver. Highly recommended. When I looked for a private transportation for my trip in Morocco, Driss gave me full confidence with reliable services through out the communication, the most accurate and quick response among the other agents, always within 24 hrs. The first day I met with Admed when he picked us up, his professional driving skill has given us the assurance of safety, no concerns at all. During the journey, though he is not the official Tour Guide, he did give us lots of information, historic background and some visiting points which is a bonus for us. The Van is so comfortable, very clean inside out, well maintenance. Overall, we enjoyed very much with Admed during our 9 days round trip. Still remember the coffee break through out the journey; he knows where to get a good espresso.

Wonderful Experience Mohammed picked us up in the Ouirgane Valley (3 hours from Marrakech) for a 6-day trip to the Sahara and ending in Essaouira. After staying there 4 days, he brought us back to Marrakech. The Mercedes van was comfortable and Mohammed was always on time each morning for our next day’s adventure. He stopped at interesting places and made a point to stop at clean restrooms and lunch spots which served delicious food. Whenever we stayed 2 days at a hotel, Mohammed stayed close by and we communicated through WhatsApp for our next pick up. The fee included gas, as well as the driver’s lodging and meals. We felt safe and well taken care of. Just make sure to have enough cash (euros or dirhams) at the end of your trip OR be very clear before starting the trip that you want to pay by credit card, since the driver needs to take a portable credit card machine with him. We ran out of cash and did not communicate clearly that we wanted to pay by card which made for a funny ending of our trip… we had to stop at several ATM’s and then a money exchange to get the full amount, then count out stacks of dirhams on the back seat… Thank you Mohammed for a memorable trip, your professionalism, and the great value you provided to us! It was a wonderful way to explore Morocco off the beaten path. Shukran, David and Patricia
