Detailed Description
Soulful secrets abound in Morocco’s heartlands, and 3,000 years of stories can be found within a small triangle of destinations in the country’s north. Three religions were introduced here, and Mohammed’s great-grandson Moulay Idriss founded the city of Fes in addition to Islam. More than a millennia after the Romans, Jewish immigrants and Andalusian Moriscos brought their own influence to a land of Riffians.
Morocco’s northern triangle deserves more than a few days. This handcrafted 10-day tour provides an in-depth exploration of a landscape and includes three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You will begin your trip in Fes, where you will have several days to awaken your senses. The following day will use food as a focus to explore the changing artistic styles of the city. You will visit gardens and palaces that date back to different dynasties to create a detailed picture of the development of Morocco’s Islamic art.
The next day, you will travel to Meknes after stopping at Volubilis. Volubilis was built by the Romans and was where Christianity was introduced to Northwest Africa. The city now waits in a redolent state of ruin. Moulay Idriss is nearby, which is Morocco’s holiest city and a superb destination for exploring the serenity of Islam. Your three nights in Meknes will be about art because this Imperial city is Morocco’s artisanal capital. Everything in Meknes is a work of art.
You will end your customized tour in Morocco’s most sublime destination of Chefchaouen. Here, you will visit a Riffian village en route for a glimpse of Berber culture. Your experience in the blue city will be relaxing. Mountains surround Chefchaouen, and many hiking trails begin from the town’s higher gate. After the energy of Fes and the art of Meknes, Chefchaouen will complete your journey into the soul of Morocco.

We had a truly memorable tour of Morocco and were delighted with the experience from start to finish.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He was knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and consistently helpful. The pre-trip materials were comprehensive and made preparation easy and stress-free.
The travel specialist designed an excellent 11-day itinerary showcasing Morocco's remarkable diversity, including the historic cities of Marrakech, Fes, and Chefchaouen, along with Rabat and Casablanca, as well as the Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert, and cedar forests. Each day offered unique experiences, including vibrant souks, artisan workshops, scenic hikes, camel rides, a traditional hammam, Roman ruins, film studio, and wine tasting.
Every destination featured a dedicated local guide, all of whom were excellent. We traveled in a comfortable SUV and spent the entire trip with our driver. Friendly, professional, and fluent in English, he consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment, while sharing valuable local insights along the way.
Several thoughtful touches further enhanced the experience: unique accommodations, memorable welcome and farewell dinners, a dedicated messaging group for seamless communication, prompt responses to questions and requests, and assistance with restaurant reservations, even at short notice.
We are deeply appreciative of the travel specialist and the entire team at this travel company for creating such a memorable journey, and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a well-planned, authentic, and high-quality Morocco experience.

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.

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!

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.

Our 12-day trip to Morocco was an incredible experience, and we have Zicasso’s travel company and our travel specialist to thank for making it so memorable.
From start to finish, the travel specialist provided exceptional, professional service. He took the time to listen to what we wanted from our trip, offered excellent suggestions, and handled every detail flawlessly. From arranging a personal driver and knowledgeable local guides to booking beautiful luxury riads for our accommodations, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
Some of the highlights of our journey included an unforgettable hike through Akchour National Park with a picnic lunch, a private tour of the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, and an exciting motorcycle sidecar adventure that gave us a unique perspective of Morocco. The travel specialist also provided outstanding dining recommendations that allowed us to enjoy the authentic flavors of Moroccan cuisine.
What made this trip truly special was the opportunity to experience so much of Morocco’s rich culture, history, and hospitality. We could not have seen and experienced all that Morocco has to offer without the travel specialist’s expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a personalized travel experience.
If you are considering a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend this travel company. Their service, professionalism, and dedication to their clients are second to none. Thank you to our travel specialist for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!

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.
