My family (myself, my wife, and three adult daughters) completed a great 8 day trip to Morocco and hired Mint Tea Tours for a van/personal driver. Lotfi was our driver, and he was wonderful, meeting us at the airport and driving us throughout Morocco. As my youngest daughter said, “In Lotfi we trust.” Lotfi always drove with safety in mind, and we never had concern when he was behind the wheel. He drove with equal skill through crowded city streets, winding mountain roads, and desolate desert highways. Lotfi is proud of his country and was willing to share his insights about Morocco while at the same time showing an interest in our family and what we were interested in seeing and experiencing. Although we planned our own itinerary/hotels, Mint Tea Tours and Lotfi assisted with all aspects of our trip, including contacting our hotels and arranging for all transfers. Lotfi was always timely, yet flexible, to our needs each day. Without Lotfi, our Moroccan experience would have been more difficult and less interesting. Additionally, Jamal and Mint Tea Tours had great suggestions for our itinerary and organized/provided excellent guides for tours in Chefchaouen, Fes, and Volubilis. Our guide in Marrakech was not good, but this was the only outlier during our trip.
Mint Tea Tours was easy to work with, invested in ensuring our trip was successful, and responsive to all our needs. We highly recommend Mint Tea Tours and especially Lotfi as a driver for a trip to Morocco.

Christopher - thank you so much for your glowing review of Mint Tea Tours, and especially Lotfi. While a lot of hard work happens "pre-arrival" in Morocco and behind the scenes, we fully recognize that it is our drivers who steal the show once our guests arrive, and we wouldn't expect it any other way!
We are surprised and disappointed to hear that your guide in Marrakech did not meet your expectations. If you could please reach out to us privately, we would like to learn more about your experience.

I have been spoiled and will gage all future trips from the warmth and hospitality given by Jamal, Tariq and the rest of the gang at Mint Tea Tours provided us on our trip to Morocco. This was my first private guided tour and they are a true class act from the outstanding Riads we stayed at, lunch and dinner arrangements even some last minute changes to our itinerary, Tariq especially was so accommodating in making sure we got the most out of our experience and I could not be more thankful. If you're considering a trip through Morocco this is the way to do it, I highly recommend Jamal, Tariq and everyone at Mint Tea Tours. Thank you all again for such a wonderful, memorable trip of a lifetime.

As an older woman and solo traveler I knew I would feel safer with a guide for the extra day I scheduled in Casablanca before a group tour.
After reading all these great reviews I contacted Jamal and he was always prompt to respond and helped tailor a half- day itinerary to match my interests.
The driver (Tarik) skillfully and safely transported us all over the city and, after only a short time, I felt, with Chahin, the guide, that I was learning about all we saw from a family friend!
It was such a personal experience and I gained insight into some of Morocco's history and culture that will enhance my tour in other parts of the country.
Thank you, Mint Tea Tours!

We did a couples tour with Mint Tea Tours. I HIGHLY recommend Lotfiy to be your tour driver. He is beyond AMAZING!! He made our 1 week trip fantastic! He was very kind, helpful, punctual and so considerate of how we were doing all the time. We rode in a very nice and super clean, comfortable new Mercedes Van which was fully stocked with water and phone chargers.
He drove us from Tangier to Chefcheaouen to Fes through Mekness and Rabat to Casablanca then to Marrakech. Lotify was very helpful in connecting us with each tour guide we met up with each city making every interaction with the locals easy and comfortable.
Jamal, Lotify and the team are top notch in what they do. We presented everything we wanted to to experience very easily coordinated with us on putting our trip to together to make make it logistically perfect with no waste of time. Every guide we had were passionate about sharing there knowledge of Morocco.
I highly recommend Mint Tea Tours with Lotify and Jamal!! You won’t regret it.

My family and I were in Morocco for a week and had Lotfi as our driver. If you book a trip through MTT, We highly recommend requesting Lotfi as your driver! The custom itinerary was based on famous sites we had to see combined with some our interests and a desire to explore. Lotfi always went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our trip recommending different foods to eat and places to stop to take good photos and sharing jokes and his soccer opinions along the way! We were vegetarian so he always spoke to the waiters to make sure they understood not to give us any meat and that truly went a long way, it made us feel very safe that we had someone we can trust for our dietary restrictions. Lotfi also educated us on the Moroccan culture and common Arabic words to say/learn. Our experience with MTT exceeded our expectations!!

We recently returned from a 15-day tour to Morocco, expertly planned and supported by Jamal of Mint Tea Tours and with Lotfi as our amazing driver. From start to finish, Mint Tea exceeded our expectations and helped us experience Morocco and its people in ways we could not have on our own.
Not being “on the bus, off the bus” kind of people, we usually eschew group trips and plan our trips ourselves. But as we began to research Morocco, and since we speak neither Arabic nor French, we immediately saw the benefits of hiring Mint Tea to organize our adventure.
Communication with Jamal prior to the tour was excellent. He answered our questions promptly and he was responsive to our needs and preferences. Our driver, Lotfi, was with us the entire two weeks, not only getting us from place to place safely, but giving us special insights into the people and rich cultures that make Morocco so special. Lotfi translated, provided restaurant recommendations, communicated with our Riads, and I swear he knows every clean bathroom in the country!
Throughout our trip, we felt safe and well taken care of. Jamal and Lotfi made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves at all times. The Riads Jamal arranged were spectacular and the trip was well organized.
Jamal arranged private, local tour guides for us in each major city. All of them were knowledgeable, personable, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a meaningful and enjoyable experience. In Fes we were lucky to have Jamal as our guide. He provided us with insights into the history and culture of Fes, and was happy to share his personal experiences with us. There we explored the labyrinthine medina, stopping at various historical sites, artisanal workshops, and food stalls along the way. While there were plenty of opportunities for shopping, we never felt pressured. It was important to Jamal to be sure we visited the Cooperatives that are keeping traditional crafts alive in a country flooded with mass-produced replicas from Asia. We were able to see and learn about pottery, leatherwork, and carpet weaving.
Thanks to Jamal, Lotfi and Mint Tea Tours for helping us experience the vibrant culture, delicious food, and rich history of Morocco in a fun and deeply meaningful way.

I planned a 16-day trip to Morocco and chose to arrange a private tour through Mint Tea Tours. This would be my second time solo-travelling as a woman, but my first time using a private tour company. As a planner I’m usually happy organizing my own trips, but arranging the transfers between cities, booking all the riads/hotels and finding guides for the major cities and historical sites turned out to be overwhelming. I did my research, and once I discovered Mint Tea Tours it just felt like the right choice for me. I went with my gut feeling, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. From start to finish, my experience with Mint Tea Tours exceeded my expectations.
My journey through Morocco took me to Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes (where I got to meet and do a guided tour with Jamal himself!), Ifrane/Azrou, Erfoud, Merzouga/Erg Chebbi, Todra Gorge, Skoura, Ait-Ben-Haddou, Marrakech and Essaouira, and my trusty and very dedicated driver throughout my entire journey was Lotfi.
If you’re looking for a professional, safe and knowledgeable driver with a great sense of humor, you can’t go wrong with Lotfi! My trip would not have been the same without him, and I’m just so thankful and happy that he was chosen as my driver.
I highly recommend Mint Tea Tours and will definitely book with this company again in the future if I’m fortunate enough to return to Morocco!

I returned a couple of weeks ago from ten wonderful days exploring Morocco with Mint Tea Tours. I do a lot of solo travel and am always the planner when traveling with friends. So, when asked if I wanted to go to Morocco on a fully guided tour where all accommodations and tours were set up for me, I said “sign me up”.
Private Driver: Abdel was amazing. From the time he picked us up from the airport in Tangier until the time he dropped us off in Marrakesh, he had a smile on his face and a pleasant demeanor. He was accommodating to a group of ten women and I’m not quite sure how he did that with such grace. The passenger van was very comfortable with more than enough space for our group, luggage, and Moroccan treasures bought along the way.
Tour Guides: Every tour guide that was privately arranged for us was knowledgeable, timely, respectful and accommodating. Our group asked a lot of questions and there wasn’t a time I felt that there wasn’t adequate knowledge to answer the question.
Accommodations: To say that we stayed at some of the most beautiful Riads would be an understatement. Every accommodation was clean, comfortable, and without any flaws. The staff were accommodating and always with a smile.
Jamal -Thank you for forging relationships along the way to be able to provide the best of the best to your clients. Every person we encountered that knows you, or of you, had high praises and wonderful things to say about you.
I absolutely look forward to booking future travel to Morocco with Mint Tra Tours. I still have a fountain to purchase. 🇲🇦

Excellent. Superb. Perfect. Incredible.
If you look at the ratings of Mint Tea Tours you will see they are one of the highest rated tour companies in Morocco - and for good reason. Their private tours are fully customizable for what you want. Even more important, Gjamal has built a solid reputation throughout his country which directly impacts how his clients are treated everywhere they go.
As a customer, when I was working with them on our itinerary and “must haves” they took the time to walk us through our options and gave suggestions. We had originally planned to visit in October 2020, but due to the pandemic we had to postpone to 2021. Mint Tea worked on our behalf to adjust all our reservations.
From the moment we arrived in Tangier to being dropped at the Marrakech airport, we enjoyed perfect care and service.
My first time in Morocco in 2018 (just a few days) I met a couple from New Hampshire that were lamenting their choice of tour company ~ they chose based on price ~ and had a driver for 3 weeks that didn’t speak English. Our drivers - Tarik and Abdullah - became like family to us and further enhanced our experiences by stopping at places that don’t necessarily end up on itineraries (their favorite olive oil collective, their favorite argan oil place, etc…). They also helped us with our Arabic and French phrases 🙂. But more important, they negotiated baggage handlers and other aspects of traveling that are difficult for people who don’t speak the languages and/or fully know the customs. They also gave advice on navigating different areas and on occasion helped with shopping.
Each of us left Morocco with incredibly fond memories and the warm belief that we had made friendships for life. This is probably due to Morocco being a very friendly place, but this was enhanced by Jamal and his team.

Do you have a set charge for absolute Morocco and Definitive Morocco in USD? and does it include accommodations and meals? How do you structure and personalize the packages? A few people have asked me. Thanks. Mo
Written March 21, 2015
Hi Mo - thanks for your questions and interest.
We have designed the Definitive and Absolute Morocco tours to meet the majority of travelers' interests. If someone would like to personalize either of them, we would use them as the base and then add or take off days / destinations / activities depending on the personal interests of each client. In addition, the level of accommodations and meals would also be according to the client's request.
For pricing and further information, you can refer any inquiries directly to us. Our contact info can be found in our TripAdvisor profile.
Thanks!
