Tour Reviews
The tour was excellent! Hamid and his team are Elite. I enjoyed Fes and Chefchaouen the most. Out guides and drivers were very professional and welcoming. The team is available for questions 24/7, if something is not going the way you predict and/or want be sure that Hamid will resolve any situation in a second with a smile! Everything was amazing.
Tilila Travel was amazing! My sister and I did a private tour and we had a great time! We highly recommend this tour.
From booking to flying home this tour was incredible value, personally planned and adjusted by Mohammed. Our driver guide Walid was so attentive making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. A a party of 3 women he also made sure we were safe and that we knew any places to avoid in the evenings. I have travelled in Morocco many times but there is always so much more to see and learn, Walid made the tour very personal to our group and soon learnt what we enjoyed which enabled us to make the most of our short time in each place. Each hotel was carefully chosen and we were looked after very well in every one but particularly in Marrakesh where we started and finished our tour, after a busy week coming back to the same hotel was like coming home. I would highly recommend Tilila Travel for touring Morocco, Mohamed is absolutely passionate about ensuring you enjoy your time in Morocco and very good at adapting tours to meet clients needs. Using a local company makes the tour more personal as it was clear that the driver/guides and hotel owners knew Mohamed and respected him. He clearly expects a high standard of customer care and although we didn’t have any problems I was certain he would be straight on the case if there were any. He messaged every day to ensure we were happy with our day. I was travelling with two friends who had not been to Morocco before, they wanted to see everything and chose a busy tour, they became tired as the week progressed so I suggested we could miss part of the final day and spend a bit longer in the mountains. This was quickly agreed and we left Chefchaouen later to go directly to Casablanca missing Rabat. The roads in Morocco are hugely improved in the last few years but the distances on all tours are vast, my advice is always to either take a longer tour or plan to see and do less as it’s such a beautiful country to explore. Don’t hesitate to book with Tilila Travel you will have an incredible time.
The tour is well organized. Itinerary was given to us in advance. There’s no surprise. Everything went smoothly. The driver was waiting for us at the airport. He drives the whole tour, polite, helpful, and always on time. The city guide in Fez was exceptional, she tailored tour to our specific interests. The cooking class arranged by Mohammed, the owner of Tilila Tour was amazing. Every time I make those dishes, I will be thinking about this trip. It was a great memory making trip.
We had the most unforgettable experience with Tilila Travel where we booked a 8 day tour here.
Mohammed was extremely accommodating to our needs and had the route mapped out perfectly to include meaningful stops and sights along the way. Everything was organised with ease.
Big thanks to our driver, Yassin, who was extremely helpful, caring, kind and professional. He made the long drive between different cities more interesting. Not only he shared with us insights to Moroccan life and his own life experiences, but also took good care of us (since we were just 2 girls travelling)! Good communication and everything on time. We couldn’t recommend him enough.
Overall, we had a wonderful trip!
