Detailed Description

Rivalry is often useful for cities if it promotes creativity and pushes boundaries for each city to distinguish itself. The story of Morocco is so extravagant that every city has its own color. Fes, the blue city, was the capital under many pre and post-medieval dynasties, and the red city, Marrakech, was capital during four different dynasties. Meknes is the green artisanal city, was founded in the 17th century, and was the capital under Ismail Ibn Sharif. Rabat is the current white capital that holds 900 years of history.

Of course, there’s more to Morocco than four cities. Other histories are included on this 13-day private tour. You can explore the Art Deco in Casablanca, visit the Islamic pilgrimage town of Moulay Idriss, discover a Roman city at Volubilis, and escape into the Rif Mountains for a 3-day stay in Chefchaouen. Founded in the 15th century, hypnotic Chefchaouen brings a serene break from all the impressions. The buildings are painted blue, the streets are cobbled and pedestrianized, and the atmosphere is similar to a laid-back mountain getaway. This small and charming town provides a serene interlude to all the historical explanations, helping you to re-energize while experiencing Moroccan life.

Your handcrafted tour will be planned just for you with 12 nights in Morocco. You will fly into Casablanca, and your first day will be dedicated to the city’s old and new sights. The following day will be dedicated to Rabat and the next of Meknes. You will then stop in Volubilis and Moulay Idriss en route to Fes. Here, you have a couple of nights in the largest of the imperial cities before transferring to Chefchaouen the next afternoon for several days amid the blue. You will complete this luxury tour by flying from Fes to Marrakech for a couple of days of souks and secrets.

Morocco Vacation Review: Marrakech, Chefchaouen, Rabat,...

Our trip to Morocco was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our driver was excellent and an excellent companion throughout the journey—reliable, friendly, and always helpful.

The guided tour through the medina in Marrakech with our guide was a standout experience, especially with the bonus of dining at a fantastic restaurant he recommended. Two major highlights of the trip were the unforgettable hot-air balloon ride and our magical night in the desert.

Although our time in Casablanca was brief, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide in Rabat was knowledgeable and made the experience engaging and informative. We ended our trip in the stunning town of Chefchaouen, where another guide provided an exceptional tour—he was informative and passionate about his city.

The accommodations were perfect at every stop, and we truly appreciated the welcome gifts and meals provided by Zicasso's travel specialist and his team. Their attention to detail made all the difference.

I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone planning a trip to Morocco. It was an unforgettable experience that I will be sharing with friends and family for years to come.

Morocco Vacation Review: Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech, 9 Nights...

If you are looking for a white-glove, red-carpet experience, Zicasso's tour planner and his company are your go-to. He created an amazing itinerary that fit our budget. He was terrific with communication and follow-up. The minute we set foot in Morocco, his team was there, ready to go. They were 10 to 15 minutes early every day. We traveled through four cities, with wonderful stops, sights, commentary, and tours.

Our tour guide first introduced himself as the fixer. I was wary. Four days later, it proved true. He saved me and my dresses. I left my dresses in the Casablanca hotel room. Five hours later, I discovered the "Oh no!". Our guide hopped on the phone, called the hotel numerous times, contacted several colleagues, and found someone to drive my dresses three hours to our Marrakech hotel. The dresses arrived by noon the next day.

Most of all, our tour planner created and delivered a magical, memorable experience, without mishap. My 80-year-old mother said it was the best vacation she's ever taken. We are truly grateful.

Morocco Vacation Review: Marrakech, Merzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen,...

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!

Morocco Trip Review: 1 Week

I had the most unforgettable experience traveling through Morocco from May 22 to 30, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team at Zicasso's travel company. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and exceptionally executed.

A huge thank you to my agent, who was not only responsive and patient during the planning process, but also served as my guide for the city and food tour. His knowledge of Moroccan culture, history, and hidden gems made each day meaningful and memorable. From navigating the medinas to introducing me to some of the best local dishes I’ve ever tasted, he brought the country to life with warmth and insight.

And then there was my amazing driver, who truly went above and beyond. When my luggage was delayed, he jumped into action without hesitation, reassuring me with calm and kindness, ensuring I was comfortable and even helping to coordinate efforts on the ground to locate my bags. Beyond that, his genuine hospitality, great conversation, and thoughtful surprises made each leg of the journey special. He was much more than a driver; he was a steady and essential part of the experience.

If you’re looking for a company that provides not only beautiful itineraries, but also incredible service, with heart and humanity, this is it. This trip fed my soul and it was made extraordinary by the people who brought it to life.
