Morocco Family Vacation and Tour Packages

I recently got back from a two week trip to Morocco. When I was researching the many available tour packages with different companies, I stumbled upon CharlieTheTraveler’s website. I liked the itinerary for Morocco and I liked the price, but what I really loved was the flexibility in allowing me to pause the trip on certain days if I wanted to stay longer in a specific city. This flexibility is not usually available with other companies. Those companies only allow you to add days before and after the tour. I ended up pausing my trip for a free day in Marrakech and a free day in Fes. Had I known that I was going to love Marrakech as much as I did, I would have paused the trip for 3-4 days longer in that city alone.After booking everything with Charlie’s company, I only needed to send flight information and proof of travel insurance. Everything else was taken care of.About 2 weeks before the trip, I received my itinerary and I was good to go. My main point of contact for my duration in Morocco was Medhi. He was there waiting for me when I landed in Marrakech and drove me to the hotel. He was such a great guy and took care of anything that came up. At the end of each day, he would message me in WhatsApp to see how the day went since each day I had different excursions in different cities based on the itinerary. Medhi will go out of his way to make sure you have a great trip.I had some really awesome drivers and tour guides as well. Faissal and Refex in Casablanca were exceptional. Faissal drove me to the mall to get something from the grocery store that’s not readily available back in America, and then drove me to a place that had excellent msemen flatbread. Refex took me to the airport on my last day. My guide in Fes was Lahcen and he was very knowledgeable about the city and gave great tips to avoid local hustlers trying to take advantage of tourists.One of the days in Fes, I had a cooking class with a view overlooking the city. It was definitely a highlight of the trip. Fatima and I walked the market picking out produce and meat for the dishes I chose to make. The food was so delicious and Fatima and her grandmother were both so nice and generous.My hotels were all quite nice, but I have to say that the Riad Anata in Fes was my favorite accommodation. It had the most comfortable bed and a shower that you just didn’t want to get out of (the overhead rain faucet will spoil you). I got to meet the owner the first day I arrived. We had a great conversation up on the terrace for about an hour and a half.I have been back home in Texas now for a week and I am definitely missing Morocco (the food, the cities, the people, etc.). If you get the opportunity to go to Morocco, definitely give CharlieTheTraveler a chance. You will not regret it. Both Charlie and Medhi will make sure you have a very memorable vacation.

Tackling most of Morocco in under two weeks can sound intimidating, particularly in the peak of summer with two young kids. But any concerns we had were quickly put to rest. The itinerary was well coordinated with excellent and thoughtful guides at every stop. We were able to feel immersed in the culture while also feeling safe. Mehdi – our driver – was with us the whole time and was spectacular. Mehdi was a delight to spend time with and is a fantastic representative for his country. He was also great with our kids and always kept our safety and hydration top of mind. This was our second trip with Charlie, and we were not disappointed. We walked away with memories for a lifetime.

The itinerary was a pleasant balance of free time against organized activities. The optional tours were very good choices; we did all of them. The Tour Director went out of his way to make sure everything went well and all questions were addressed.

Morocco was a dream-come-true vacation for me. I cannot thank Charlie the Traveler and his local contacts (Medhi, my travel concierge, & co.) enough—it went beyond my expectations and was really superb. The riads and hotels were gorgeous, the meals delicious, and all of my guides and drivers worked to meet my needs and tailor the experience so it was memorable. I was a little nervous because I was traveling alone and everything was new to me, but I was provided first-class hospitality and in good hands every step of the way. There was a good variety of sightseeing and activities on this tour. As for souvenirs, so many great finds that I left clothes behind to make room in my suitcases. The desert camp was fun and the sky was amazing—my whole life, I have never seen the cosmos light up like that—and watching the sun rise over the Sahara was magical. I was paired with guides who were local to their cities, which was a nice touch, and each day was enriching and educational. Seeing the architecture & the artisans at work were just some aspects to Maroc where it’s this blend of old and new you should see yourself to truly appreciate. Even on day trips, I got to see so many different parts of the country, every visual along the road was a treat. The cooking class was outside my comfort zone, but I showed up and the host family was so kind and gracious—everyone was like this in Morocco. Each day I thought was the high point, it turned out there was more to come. Excellent value, great adventure, stunning visuals. Charlie & co. always made themselves available to smooth out any inevitable bumps in the road you encounter while traveling. I highly recommend. J’adore le Maroc!

Our Morocco trip was very well planned. Our driver Medhi was very genuine and nice to talk to. Everyday was unique and fun. Our kids had an amazing time too. I highly recommend this company. Thanks for all your effort.

The whole reason I did not travel much was because of the stress it usually caused. I can never actually enjoy my trip. However, my brother took a tour with CharlieTheTraveler and recommended them. I was pleased to find out that I did not experience any of the normal stress of traveling—instead, the company had planned and organized almost everything for my trip to Morocco. I wasn’t familiar with the country, but that made no difference as the tour guide provided was an expert. I felt safe while going on each daytrip. The mosques we visited were my favorite, as that was unlike anything I have where I live.
