"Shukran bezzaff, Yallah!"
Morocco is a beautiful country rich in culture, history and hospitality. Which I learned from our Guide Karim.
We chose to visit Morocco with the guidance of Uncovered Trails because after talking to Ilyas, we knew we would have a private tour with a lot of attention and dedication to our group. From the moment Karim and Tariq picked us up from the airport, we knew that magic was about to take over. There are no words I could describe the experience we shared. Not even enough stars to give. It felt like family. We stayed in the most beautiful hotels, exquisite food, people opened their homes for a unique experience, visited and got to know the local business and how their thrive in their socioeconomic environment. It was mind blowing how much dedication they put in their craft.
If you want to visit Morocco reserve your spot with one of those big - lots of tourists tour companies. If you want to explore, experience, appreciate, and know the country ; Ilyas, Tariq, Karim and their amazing team is who will create the most unforgettable exquisite trip of a lifetime. Thank you for this unforgettable experience. I miss you guys!

"Big tick for our Moroccan adventure with Uncovered Trails!"
Ilyas at Uncovered Trails put together a great itinerary for us based around our indicated interest & then enhanced it brilliantly with his local knowledge. Prior to leaving he made sure via zoom call that we had everything we needed. Karim our guide was full of knowledge, personality & great tips. You could do this destination on your own, but we experienced so much more because we did it with the knowledge & company of locals. Morocco was a magical destination & we would thoroughly recommend Uncovered Trails to tailor a trip with!

"Amazing Family Trip"
Uncovered Trails planned three days of our trip to Marrakech and the surrounding area. Karim was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and fun. Ismail was a fantastic driver. They made Marrakech accessible and easy for us to learn about and explore. We had a full day guided tour of the Medina, a hiking trip to the Atlas Mountains, and an overnight in the Agafay Desert. Everything was planned perfectly, the team at Uncovered Trails was easy to communicate with and worked with us to plan a trip that our family will never forget. Thank you Uncovered Trails!
