          Thanks David, you were a phenomenal travel companion, funny but above all prepared for all our questions. We are almost sorry that we can no longer spend our days in Marrakesh with you, but surely if we were to return (probably yes) we will contact you for anything we need and for some excursions both in the city and outside!! Thanks again so much.. A hug Marco and Matteo, the Italian guys

          Thanks Mohamed, you are a super guide!
          Mohamed Rachyd is a super guide, he took us around Marrakech, showing us and explaining both the most popular monuments and places and the most secret and authentic ones. He has a profound knowledge of Morocco's culture and history and passed it on to us with enthusiasm throuout the visit of the Medina we had with him. He 's been very helpful and very discreet during the whole day and he made us fall in love with Marrakech so much that we preferred to stay an extra day to see all the places that he recommended to us. He also moves at ease within the markets and souks of Marrakech as he knows everything and everyone! We can't wait returning to Morocco and organize a desert tour with him. Thanks again, Mohamed, for the wonderful experience! See you soon! Luca

          Awesome! He is the best guide.
          We did an evening trip to the Agafay desert and watched an incredible sunset. We had such a fun time and learnt a lot! All travel was comfortable and easy - and the time was really enjoyable. This did not feel like a tourist trip - rather an intimate and real experience.

          Best trip of our lives!
          The trip with Silence of Morocco is simply amazing. The organization is magnificent and Mohammed is a well-versed, wonderful guide and person, who is now our friend. We took the 7 day tour from Tangier to Marrakech, passing through the desert (breathtaking place) and meeting charming people and places. The accommodation and food with fantastic, with closeness to the local culture and marvelous people. We recommend Morocco as a must-see destination for adventure, culture, good food and reconnection, and will recommend the trip with Mohammed and Silence of Morocco to everyone. Thank you Moha for giving us the best trip of our lives!

          A five star tour from Casablanca!!!
          We chose Silence of Morocco for our 10 days tour from Casablanca. Our driver and tour guide, Moha, was always available and very kind for all our needs. We traveled in November, the days were sunny and pleasant. All hotels and riads were clean and respectful of anti-covid19 hygiene measures. It was a perfect tour. The guides who accompanied us in the visit of the city of Fez and Marrakech were very professional. Throughout the trip, we were able to experience true Moroccan hospitality.  Unique and unforgettable experiences: quad activity, camel ride, night in the desert camp. We are really satisfied with the organization of the whole tour. We recommend Silence of Morocco because everything was perfect.

          Amazing tour
          I traveled for two weeks in September. Everything was perfectly organized. I had already been to Morocco, so I was looking for an alternative tour, to see different places and have new experiences. The tour started from Marrakech, I had already visited the city on a previous trip, so I asked to include in the tour a visit to the Tinmal Mosque, a non-touristy but really impressive mosque. I visited the coast from Essaouira to Sidi Ifni. Along the coast there are many coastal villages where you can relax. I spent a night in the desert and, in the morning, I saw a spectacular sunrise. I visited the Tafraout area, where you can visit the Painted Rocks, a work by a Belgian artist and the rock called Napoleon's Hat. I went trekking with the mule in the Imlil area and had the pleasure of having lunch at the home of a Berber family. Near Ouarzazate, I had the experience of horseback riding until sunset. I can say that everything was perfect. I definitely recommend Silence of Morocco for a Morocco tour, because Mohamed is really professional and knows his work well; he racommended many places to visit and I can say that I am really satisfied.

          Unique experience!
          Our trip to Morocco was an once in a lifetime experience. Sleeping in the desert, Ouzoud Falls, Ziz Valley, Iminifri, Todra Gorge.. so good memories! It was an unforgettable trip with amazing people. Moha, who is an extraordinary tour-guide, he though about every detail of our trip, he took us to beautiful places, he had lots of patience while we ask for more time to take more pictures, he answered all our questions about the Berber culture and he has a great sense of humour.

        My friend and I, took a tour from Marrakech to Fes. It was a very interesting tour. We liked the city of Meknes, the smallest of the imperial cities, without chaos and with a lot of history. The experience in the desert tent camp was very amazing. In about a week, we had the opportunity to see very different landscapes, historic cities, oases, valley (such as the beautiful Ziz Valley), the desert and ancient Berber villages. We definitely recommend Silence of Morocco, Mohamed was very kind and helpful throughout the trip.

        Today we visited the center of Marrakech, then the Bahia palace, the former Koranic school and the very intricate and fascinating souk with our precious private guide Mohamed who made us skip a lot of lines and explained to us, in excellent Italian, the history and culture of this beautiful country. Highly recommended for anyone.
