A standard tour is a fixed itinerary — set dates, set route, set hotels — often with other travellers. A tailor-made Morocco tour is designed from scratch around your specific dates, group, interests, pace, accommodation preferences, and budget. Every Gateway2Morocco tailor-made tour is 100% private (never shared), with your own driver and vehicle, and the itinerary is yours alone. You can use any of our published tours above as a starting point and then customise everything.

You'll receive a personalised itinerary proposal within 48 hours of submitting your enquiry. From there, expect 2–3 rounds of refinement (typically 5–7 days total) until the itinerary is exactly right. For travel dates in peak season (October–April and Easter / Christmas / New Year), we recommend booking 3–6 months in advance to secure top riads and properties. Off-peak bookings can be confirmed in as little as 2–3 weeks.

The most popular tailor-made Morocco tour lengths are:

• 7 days — focused trip (e.g., Marrakech + Atlas + Sahara)
• 9–10 days — most popular; Imperial Cities + Sahara comfortably
• 11–13 days — adds the Atlantic coast, Chefchaouen, or extra Marrakech time
• 14 days — comprehensive north-to-south Morocco including Tangier and Essaouira

For most travellers, 10–11 days is the sweet spot — enough time to experience Morocco's depth without feeling rushed.

Morocco is a year-round destination. March–May and September–November are the ideal sweet spots — warm but not hot, comfortable for Sahara visits. December–February is excellent for Marrakech and the Sahara but can be cold in Fes and the Atlas (snow possible). June–August is hot inland (40°C+), but Essaouira and the Atlantic coast stay cool, and the Atlas Mountains are excellent for hiking. We design your itinerary around when you travel.

Yes — family-friendly customisation is one of our most-requested itinerary types. We adjust pace for younger travellers, build in pool time at riads, choose family-friendly accommodations with connecting rooms or family suites, swap walking-intensive medina tours for shorter highlights, add camel trekking and Sahara camp glamping (kids love this), include hands-on activities like Berber bread-making or pottery workshops, and ensure all transport seats accommodate child safety needs.

Absolutely. Morocco is a wonderful solo destination, and a tailor-made private tour with a vetted local driver and licensed guides is one of the safest and most rewarding ways to experience it. Solo pricing applies — typically a single supplement fee for a private room. Many of our most enthusiastic past clients have travelled alone.

Every Gateway2Morocco quote includes: private English-speaking driver throughout, insured private vehicle (SUV or minivan), daily breakfast, dinner in remote/desert areas, licensed local guides at every major city and site, all entrance fees to listed attractions, camel trekking in the Sahara, private airport pick-up and drop-off, and 24/7 in-country support. Not included: international flights, most lunches and dinners, beverages, gratuities, optional activities (balloon, cooking, hammam), and personal travel insurance.

Yes. Morocco is consistently ranked among North Africa's safest tourist destinations, with deep tradition of hospitality and very low rates of violent crime against tourists. Major destinations — Marrakech, Fes, Chefchaouen, Casablanca, the Sahara — are well-monitored and well-frequented. A tailor-made tour with private driver and licensed guides adds an additional layer of comfort.
