Casablanca Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites Tours 2023/2024

“This was an excellent way to experience the diversity of Morocco’s landscapes, cultures, history and places - a small private tour with our guide Anwar. He was one of the best guides / tour companions we’ve had anywhere in the world.”

“Anwar is the best! This was a last minute booking, so he really had to scramble to get hotels together for us to stay in. The Riads were beautiful and the hosts were wonderful. This entire trip was like meeting extended family. The quiet walk in Essaouira was a nice break from the busy Marrakech. UNESCO world heritage site, Aït Benhaddou should be on everyone's bucket list. I can't believe I haven't heard more about this place. I am not one for riding on animals and was concerned at first. But when in Rome...I rode a camel in the Sahara! Actually it was great. Now that I've done it, I wouldn't plan the trip any differently. It's simply part of the experience. I have to give props to Anwar for his professionalism. When we got a flat tire we had a few minutes to stretch our legs before we were back on the road. I can't imagine changing the tire that quickly. He's great! That is why I wanted a local guide, to handle anything and everything than cant be predicted. Also, Camp was the best way to wrap up the journey. The music, philosophy, food and a fire beneath the stars while surrounded by the sand dunes... I want to go back already.”

“"We were very pleased with all aspects of our tour of Morocco with Odynovo. Our driver, Rachid, was very skilled and made us feel secure even in the most stressful city traffic. He was very willing to share all sorts of information with us, from various flora and fauna to cultural norms and historical issues. Our guides were knowledgeable and pleasant, and some even spoke Italian (we were traveling with another couple who didn't speak English). We were provided with a wealth of opportunities to visit different sites and points of interest, have different culinary experiences, and really get a sense of life in Morocco. Our hotels were very good. One issue was at the riad in Marrakech where the dining area was on the rooftop terrace, three flights of stairs up. My husband had difficulty with the stairs and was not able to have breakfast on the terrace. Be sure to let the office know if mobility is an issue for anyone in your party. We loved our experience in the desert! The Jaimas Madu Camp was so much better than other camp experiences I've read about. With only seven tents for guests, we enjoyed a true night in the desert, not in a massive tourist enclave which many of the other tour companies offer. We had an amazing camel ride out into the dunes (not recommended for older people with joint issues!), a wonderful dinner complete with musical entertainment and a campfire. When the ambient lights were extinguished, we were able to lie back and gaze at the amazing stars that we are unable to see anywhere else, and we really felt the immensity of the space around us. We slept like logs in this very comfortable tent complete with air conditioning and plumbing! We arose at sunrise and once again were amazed at our surroundings. We climbed dunes and waited for the sun to come up, absolutely gob-smacked by the awesome splendor. Breakfast followed, with a most wonderful tajine of eggplant, tomatoes, and poached eggs that I am going to have to try to duplicate at home! There were lots of other yummy goodies as well, that we were able to enjoy before being taken back to home base in a 4x4. We will never forget that night! Morocco is challenging and exhausting, both physically and emotionally. We were so glad to have the personal attention of all the Odynovo staff, and we have already recommended them to our friends and family."”
