January 2018

An Exceptional Trip through an Amazing Land My wife and I spent two weeks last November touring through Morocco with Odyssey Tours. Eason Wang was our trip coordinator. We had never been to Morocco before and most of what we knew of the country came from vague images and half forgotten stories conjured up by names like Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Tangier, the Atlas Mountains, and the Sahara Desert. It was our first trip with Odyssey Tours. The result - Our expectations throughout were exceeded in almost every way imaginable. Eason simply did a fabulous job. We cannot recommend Eason and Odyssey Tours too highly. Confirmation? We are currently working with Eason on a tour itinerary for Egypt. Our driver in Morocco was simply amazing. We had so much fun and learned so much from him driving around the country. The people of Morocco are wonderful. The hotels were both excellent and memorable. Each was unique and we were delighted each time. Our agenda left nothing out, and we had great flexibility to make minor modifications as we progressed. During our tour, a company representative in Morocco also met with us making sure everything was going well. She was every bit as good as our driver. We really enjoyed the time we spent with her as well. The bottom line, we can't think of a better way we could have chosen to see Morocco. A huge thank you from us to Eason Wang and Odyssey Tours - you guys are great!

August 2017

We just returned from a 9-day tour of Morocco with My Odyssey. Because we had a specific set of places we wanted to visit, and a number of specific things we wanted to do while we were there, we requested a custom tour. Our contact Leo was absolutely outstanding from the beginning. He seemed to understand exactly what it was that we were after, and he took things into consideration like the ages of our 3 children, etc. A very thorough and complete itinerary was presented to us, and numerous modifications were made based on our and Leo's suggestions. The result was a fantastic adventure in Morocco. We were picked up from the ferry in Tangier where we stayed, and then visited Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech and Casablanca. We also hit up a number of sites in between, making stops that were culturally important or that we had requested. I can't overstate how incredibly amazing our driver, Adil, was. He was with us throughout the entire period, and we would pick up or meet with local guides at each of our stops. It's a great system and we would do this again. Adil was always in a great mood, friendly, accommodating to any request we made, always ready with a suggestion or advice (which was always valid and useful) and I would say that he made our trip what it was. We hope to return to Morocco and we would request Adil as our driver for the next time. The vehicle was clean and the drives were smooth, albeit a bit lengthy on a couple of days due to the amount of ground we had to cover, and we were provided with bottled water every day (a necessity in Morocco). Special attention was given to accommodate our requests such as a sunset camel ride and a family cooking workshop. A little side note - if you're ever in Marrakech, take the La Maison Arabe cooking workshop. It is the best we've ever done. Upon reviewing our time in Morocco, we agreed as a family that there is virtually nothing we would change about our trip. We will not hesitate to use My Odyssey again, and we would love to work with Leo to plan our next trip. Thanks for making the Moroccan portion of our month abroad a wonderful experience!

How Private Tour Works

Accommodation
Enjoy comfortable stay at competitive rates and with insider bonus of our partnership with international hotel chains and local ones. Most of the options are recommended based on our field inspection to ensure quality. Kindly note that hospitality service in remote area can hardly maintain the same standard as those in the city.

Meals
Meals provided will be clearly outlined in the confirmed itinerary. In most cases, breakfast is served in hotel. To make the trip go smooth, lunch is recommended to be included for set menu or a la carte, local flavor or western style, depending on your liking. Restaurants are selected according to positive feedback with your diet requirements in mind. Dinner is the time when you are free to explore the destination’s hidden delights, but we are always happy to give recommendation or offer assistance. In remote area, meals are likely to be arranged in tourist restaurant or a local family due to limited options.

Tour Guide & Transfer
Every tour comes with English-speaking guides (or other languages on request) and private transfer in each city. The licensed, professional tour guides are from local and will be a friendly, knowledgeable company to travel with. When it comes to your personal driver or chauffeur guide, they are experienced and service-minded, all driving well-maintained, air-conditioned vehicles.
