Yes — the 5 Day Morocco Tour Itinerary is a private tour with your own vehicle and driver-guide, so you set the pace and the stops. We can also advise on adding local city guides where they add the most value.

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons across the whole route. Winter is beautiful in the desert but cold at night and possibly snowy in the Atlas; summer is best enjoyed with early starts and desert nights.
