We enjoyed a spectacular journey encompassing Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains. Our guide and driver were very professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Each of the special events enabled us to interact extensively with everyday Moroccans. Our accommodations were superb and gave us a real feel for the country. We loved every moment of the adventure!

We had the most amazing time in Morocco, thanks to our wonderful Zicasso trip planners. From the very beginning of the planning stages, our agents were not only super-accommodating, but provided great ideas to make our trip as special as could be!
Once we landed, our guide and driver made sure we were comfortable throughout our trip. We visited Marrakech, Merzouga, Fes, and Chefchaouen. Each of these destinations were special in their own way and we had amazing tours in the medinas, visited gardens and museums, had a cooking class and, of course, a wonderful night in the desert.
None of this could have been possible without the expertise of the entire team at the travel agency. The logistics were impeccable, the hotels so beautiful, and suggestions for shopping and meals were perfect as well!
We cannot thank the team enough for such a special experience and we hope to work with them in the future! Thank you so much!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Marrakech on a trip perfectly planned by my Zicasso's travel agent, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every detail was carefully arranged, which made the entire journey seamless and stress-free.
From the moment I arrived, the transfers and accommodations were smooth and well-organized. The riad chosen for my stay was stunning—full of authentic Moroccan charm, warm hospitality, and ideally located for exploring the city. The guided tours were thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, and hidden gems I might not have discovered on my own. Highlights included wandering the lively souks, visiting the Majorelle Garden, and experiencing the breathtaking Atlas Mountains on a day trip.
What impressed me most was the personalized touch. The itinerary allowed enough flexibility to enjoy spontaneous moments, while still ensuring I saw the must-visit spots. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, from traditional Moroccan tagines to rooftop dining with spectacular views of the medina.
Thanks to my travel agent’s expertise, I felt cared for every step of the way. I could simply relax and immerse myself in the beauty, colors, and energy of Marrakech without worrying about logistics.
I would absolutely recommend this travel service to anyone planning a trip to Morocco—you’ll not only see Marrakech, but you’ll truly experience it.

Our trip with Zicasso’s tour company was wonderful. The agent really listened to our specific needs and designed a great trip for us. The country, of course, was wonderful, but the agency was what made the trip amazing. They chose the properties and knocked it out of the park. We loved all our riads and each had fabulous food, so we rarely went elsewhere.
Our trip around Morocco from north to south included a lot of driving. The driving agency, specifically our driver, was amazing. He spoke excellent English and knew his country well. He also had a fun personality and the heart of a servant. He literally made our trip. We were sad to say goodbye. We also enjoyed all our guides at each location.
Besides the Fes market foot tour, the best was the two photo tours arranged by our travel company. We had one in Chefchaouen and one in Marrakech. This entailed a professional photographer leading us to beautiful architectural or scenic spots and capturing us in them. What a memory. My Instagram will be blowing up!! Ha ha. Seriously though, we have some great shots and memories.
Another highlight was horseback riding in the Atlas Mountains. It was just us and our guide, and we saw no other people in the stunning countryside and mountains during our three-hour ride. So fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this trip. We loved it.

We enjoyed our tour in Morocco, mainly for the opportunity to explore different places and learn more about their customs and history. The people has been very attentive and the itinerary was very interesting and well organized.
Our driver did a very good job, he was always available and on time. The hotel and riads were excellent, but in some cases their location was not the best.
Many things to remember, but we just would like to mention the Sidecar motorcycle tour and the Agafay desert visit, both from Marrakesh. We also liked the visit to the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, the city tour in Rabat and the visit to the tanneries in Fes.
