We booked this tour for a friends trip. It was 7 of us and this tour hands down has been the best tour I have ever done in the many countries I’ve visited. Mustafa was our guide and honestly, I wouldn’t have asked for a more involved, patient, relatable, and enjoyable person. I appreciated how hospitable he was, how funny he was, and how well he cared for us as tourists. Our driver Hicham was the best ever! If I could, I would have given him 10 stars. The most funny, kind and helpful person...

I had an incredible experience with XabbiTours on their 3-Day tour from Fez to Marrakech via the Merzouga Dunes. Our driver, Hicham, was not only knowledgeable about the roads but also deeply passionate about the desert and his country. It was inspiring to see someone with a background in economics choosing to work in his family’s tour company, driven by a love for Morocco and a commitment to sustainable tourism...
