Experience It Tours Arvostelua 

My family (two adults and one 8 year old) had a great 11 day adventure through Morocco. The staff was very helpful! Jeff worked with me to combine aspects from two of their pre-made itineraries into one great trip. The experiences were top-notch, and our driver, Toufik, was fantastic!

Our Morocco trip was excellent. Thank you for all the arrangements.

Excellent bespoken tour for just my wife and I to Oman, both in the Dhofar Governorate and in northern Oman.
Initial planning with EIT was informed, flexible, and quick to reply to questions and to offer helpful advice.
The emailed trip documentation (vouchers, etc.) was well organized.
Without getting into our particulars, I can say that EIT delivered the goods, and not only the goods, but also the flexibility within the tour for which we had asked.
Our guides-drivers were knowledgeable, problem-solvers, and very personable.
Would we use Experience It Tours again - yes!

Experience It Tours delivered what they have promised. They have crafted itineraries that made our trip very memorable. For me, the pinnacle of the trip was being at the Sahara Desert. That trip has been our best organized tour. Morocco is a beautiful country, forward-looking, with an infrastructure that is getting better for the demands of an ever-increasing influx of travelers.
Thank you Brian Smith, Lori Kraybill who made our trip an experience of a lifetime . To our driver Chahine who made us feel comfortable and safe during the 15 days of our travel.

Excellent attention to our requests and very flexible and accommodating.

We heartily recommend Morocco Tours to anyone who wants an extended private excursion in Morocco. It was simply the best tour either of us have ever taken, and this in two lifetimes full of travel.”

Morocco has always been on my bucket list so I dragged along my husband and two teenage sons and arranged it through Experience It after a recommendation from my sister. I did check out four other tours, but stuck with Experience It because they were open to adapting our schedule. We got additional add-on's including ATV riding in the dunes (for the kids and they LOVED it); sand boarding (too much work) and ballooning in Marrakesh (well worth it).
We enjoyed the Hasan II Mosque & Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca but no need to spend too much time there as it was worth going to Rabat/Sale where we stayed at the Repose (make sure you stay here). Jan, the owner, arranged for us to go to the local hamam across the road - a worthwhile experience.
Also make sure that the ”blue city” of Chefchaouen is on your itinerary. It's touristy, but such a relaxed feeling to the place, and a great introduction into bargaining for handicrafts. It's worth climbing the hill to watch the sunset at the Spanish mosque.
We enjoyed the Royal Granary & Stables in Meknes - the boys got to experiment with panoramic photos between the arches getting us in triptage (tip from the guide). Fes was amazing, but avoid being taken to carpet shops for the sales talk - much better to wait until the Sahara where carpets area third of the price. I loved the trip over the Atlas mountains to get to the Sahara. Make sure for kids that you have them download lots of Netflix before you leave for Morocco to get through this trip! There is lots of car time, but a lot to see on the way. But Netflix did save us from the "are we there yet" syndrome.
The Sahara was the highlight of the trip. But be prepared for tourists. I imagined the camp being far away from civilisation. It isn't really, but it does feel like it. It was a magical experience. Truly. Worth getting up early and climbing a dune for the sunrise too.
We ditched the film studios in Ouarzazate to spend more time at the Ait Benhaddou kasbah, where so many films and series have been made.
We enjoyed Marrakech. I was getting nervous about not having time to shop, but the Medina is well set out and I managed to do late afternoon shopping. We did ballooning in Marrakesh. It was such a beautiful experience and we loved it. Sunrise over the Atlas mountains was spectacular from the balloon. Worthwhile as an add-on.
We did Day in the life of a Berber. It's a long ride to get there from Marrakesh. I think that so much more could be made out of this experience so for me it was a little disappointing, but the kids loved it. My son and husband also cooked one of the best tagine we had eaten, so for that it was worth it.
Our driver, Youssef, was great. We did go to lots of tour places for lunch. If you would prefer to eat locally, then try and negotiate it with your driver.
Don't forget that tips can add up so calculate this in your tour budget.
We went in winter, which was mild, but it is worth having a down jacket for early mornings. If you're doing ballooning remember to dress warmly too. Jeans and t-shirts during the day is all you need and a jumper and jacket for when it cools down at night.
I would highly recommend Experience It Tours. We had a small issue with a Riad in Marrakesh and contacted Jill, who had it sorted out in ten minutes, Really great service from the crew at Experience It. Highly recommended.

Thank you for our fantastic Morocco tour! We had a truly memorable vacation. It was wonderful to experience such a beautiful country and culture. The tour was very well organized. Our driver Ali Ben was excellent! He is a great driver and we always felt safe during our long drives. Ail was very attentive to our needs and had a great way of anticipating our needs as well. It was a pleasure to spend the 10 days with Ail. He is very knowledgeable about Moroccan history and culture and could answer all of our questions. We also very much appreciated and enjoyed our guides and guided tours of Fes, Volubilis and Marakesh. All of which were great ways to experience the highlights of these amazing cities in just one day. Being in the Fes Médina was truly a highlight our trip. Traveling by car through the majestic mountains and expansive landscapes was unforgettable. We especially enjoyed our day and night in the desert! It was such a beautiful and serene environment. Our tent was very comfortable and everyone there was so nice and attentive. Playing drums with the drummers in the desert camp and with the musicians outside of Erfoud was an unexpected pleasure. We were very happy with all of our hotels and Riads. Being the only guests at the Palais Masandoia where the room, service and food was excellent and having dinner in the bar with a fire was very special! The staff in all of our accommodations were very kind, friendly, courteous and professional. We would recommend them and Morocco Tours to any future travelers. Unfortunately on our first night at Le Doge we were looking forward to having dinner in their dinning room but it was reserved for a private party. We had to eat in the upstairs more casual cafe. It was a chilly rainy and windy night with a lot of water blowing in to the dinning room which made it hard to fully enjoy. But our breakfasts at Le Doge were excellent as they were in all of our Riads and Hotels. Overall our tour was inspiring and memorable in the best way. It was beautifully put together and organized to meet all of our expectations and more. Thank you so much. I've attached some photos. Please thank Ali Ben for all his great driving and help throughout our 10 days. He is the best!!
Janet and I wish you all the best in 2020 and with all of your future tours!
Sincerely,
Robert

Our trip to Morocco was absolutely delightful. We were very impressed with everything the company set up for us. We felt very lucky to have Rachid El Hou as our driver. He was incredibly attentive and informative and just made our whole trip a delight. He had a terrific sense of humor and was agreeable to all our little foibles. Also, one of us was having some issues with balance, and he took her arm and walked with her every time we were out of the vehicle. He was fun to be with, very caring, and had all kinds of background history to give us about Morocco.

We were very impressed at all the information provided to us before the trip, and especially the phone call with Vienna to answer any last lingering questions.

In the middle of our trip we decided to make a change in our itinerary, and Jill made that happen in 15 minutes! We’d expected to hear how it couldn’t be done, and we appreciated very much how everything the company did make our trip very special. We hoped to have a good trip, but in actuality it was just about perfect.

I very much hope to travel again to Morocco, and if I can, Experience It Tours will be the first people I’ll get in touch with.

Morocco Tours gave us a wonderful worry-free week in Morocco.
Our accommodations were perfect. We had a driver who took us to the cities we chose and was helpful in every way. We would love to return to Morocco and would happily choose Morocco Tours again.

Seeing and understanding the world is a passion. One does not know the world unless you visit the world and it’s people. Oman was new and different in so many aspects and you made that possible.
The resorts/hotels were beyond incredible and could have used more time in each and just experience their services.
We were a bit disappointed in the south of Oman and what to see and do. Lots of driving to see much sand, dirt and rocks. Sad to see that more was not put in to cleanliness and preserving the old ways of life with so much history.
Guides beyond incredible and made the best of every moment and help at every turn. Our opinion is this is a trip for the more well traveled and would stay north and Muscat and travel from that point.

From the time I first contacted Brian at Experience It Tours until we left Morocco at the conclusion of the tour, we were incredibly pleased and impressed with our experience. We got great insights before we traveled to Morocco, and Khalid was both an excellent driver and became our good friend. My daughter and I loved the tour, loved Khalid and loved all the guides Experience It Tours arranged for us in each location we visited. We felt safe and well taken care of! Their recommended accommodations and dining places were uniformly excellent.

Choosing Experience It Tours for our Morocco trip was the best decision that we’ve had. From the tour driver that was selected for us (he’s very respectful and knows a lot about his country), the service vehicle (it’s nice and clean everyday and stocked with water, wet wipes, tissues), the hotels (they were rated as 3-star but most can pass as 4-star to us!), the city tour guides (they are knowledgeable, funny and patient), and the selection of food/restaurants during our 8-day trip were great. The people we’ve met were also very nice and accommodating especially to our friendly and energetic 2-year old. We will definitely get Experience It Tours again if ever we go to another country where they have an itinerary. We recommend this tour company! They are worth every cent!

Good Afternoon Eliot
Feedback on our recent trip to Oman, it was fabulous and we enjoyed every minute of it. As you know our Drivers/Guide in Muscat was Rachid who was very accommodating, he went the extra mile on more than one occasion; his local knowledge was excellent and this filled some of the longer drives with interesting conversation.
As to the tour content Day 1,2,and 3 were well chosen and we thoroughly enjoyed the time at Nizwa very interesting. Overall we found the museums in Oman to be simply laid out, most informative and well presented. Our visit to Jebal Akhadar was awesome and we will certainly return to the area for a longer period of time in the future. One night is just to short a time. Day 4 included the Zukait Beehive Tombs and unfortunately this was a disappointment, the site is run down, lights and stairways broken and no information other than mysterious tombs we would recommend that this be taken out of your tours a long drive for a disappointing result. In the area of Nizwa there is a small farm where Indigo is grown and an Indigo dying plant which would be of greater interest and needs to be looked at by yourselves for inclusion. The accommodation at the Desert nights Camp was very comfortable and the food excellent. Day 5 this visit to the Bedouin House was not a success, the articles available for sale are not made by the Bedouins, the arrival of the Bedouin in a land cruiser to the house just prior to our arrival was so indicative of how times have changed. Otherwise the rest of the day was great.
Our transfer to Salalah was seamless and we were met by Alawi Ba Omar who should be congratulated on his local knowledge and choice of local restaurants. The variety of food was enormous and the prices low. He was able to explain in detail the history of the frankincense trees, the cultivation of these amazing trees. We thoroughly enjoyed our night in the Empty Quarter however the night spent at Wadi Shuwaymiyah surpassed our expectation and again we would have liked to stay on for another night and have done some hiking in the area and again Alawi proved to be a most informative guide and obviously knows the area intimately.
Our last day in Salalah was excellent again the Museum was superb and we really believe that those responsible for their design, content and upkeep should be congratulated.
All in All we believe we have found a Gem in Arabia and will certainly return in the not to distant future. Thank you to those who were involved in organizing our journey and particular thanks to our two Drivers/Guides.

Exceptional experience. Itinerary, pre-information, driver, guides,
and sheer beauty of Morocco was thorough, built your anticipation and knowledge base. The beautiful photo book presented at the end of the journey was a nice touch.

Highly recommend this incredible and mind-opening tour.

Having never used “Experience It Tours” previously we were thrilled by the end to end organization of our Morocco adventure. The customized itinerary over 15 days was certainly highlighted by an outstanding driver/guide. Chahine was highly skilled and he was a wealth of information, we learned so much about the country and its culture.
From the great Riads, the food and the diverse landscape from mountains, desert and ocean beaches it was a terrific “Experience”

Our Experience It tour of Morocco exceeded all of our expectations. The itinerary, accommodations and guides allowed us to experience the diversity and richness of Moroccan geography and culture. Our accommodations, often traditional riads in the city medina, were charming. The local guides at each of our stops provided an engaging and informative insight into their city or town. Our driver made every effort to ensure that our trip was a comfortable and interesting experience. We had to spend a lot of time travelling between stops, but it was small price to pay for the range of destinations and experiences. It would be hard to select a highlight, but the stay in Merzouga, camel ride, and overnight in the desert might be my choice.

Book with Experience It Tours/Morocco Tours and you will have
a spectacular time in Morocco! Everything was perfect! All our
accommodations were beautiful, and travel from place to place went
very smoothly because of our excellent driver. The guides were had at various sites were outstanding also. We experienced and learned so
much about the Moroccan culture. The people were wonderful! We'll
never forget the varied and beautiful landscapes, the camel rides on the Sahara, listening to native musicians, walking through the medinas, touring the mosques, and staying in gorgeous riads...the list is endless. We are definitely ambassadors of Morocco and highly recommend this company! We thank them for making this trip of a lifetime possible...

Experience IT Tours arranged a trip to Morocco for 4 of us in November. All of the tours, lodging and meals were fantastic. Our driver is now like part of our family - we cannot say enough positive things about Hatim.
Typical conversation in the car some time every day.....
Me: Hatim, can we stop?
Hatim: Of course! And off we would go on another adventure!

We loved the country, culture, history, architecture, medinas, shopping, artisan workshops, food and of course the camel ride in the Sahara! The great thing about being on an independent tour was the ability to stop spontaneously when we saw something of interest - i.e. the Bee Boxes alongside the road, or the olive presses in motion sine it was the olive harvest time.

Bethany helped me with the planning. I asked for proposals from 6 companies before choosing Experience IT. The reason we selected them as that they listened to what WE wanted - not simply proposing a standard tour.
Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!!
