"My fiancée and I chose to visit Morocco with MOBT. We heard about them from a friend that enjoyed an awesome trip organized by them. We didn’t regret our choice, we spent an unforgettable stay in Morocco! I personally visited Morocco in the past with my parents, but I didn’t really visit the country and discovered the culture, like I did this time…" read more

"I can definitely say that for myself, and especially for my mother, a first-time visitor to Morocco and Fes, the Artisan tour was such a wonderful and unique opportunity to interact with the people keeping the traditions of Fes alive! We really enjoyed speaking to the artisans, watching them make products in front of us, and getting the inside view of many of these old shops and businesses. Both our guide and interpreter were great, they went above and beyond for our little tour, and were very patient with all of the questions we asked. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others who want to experience an authentic Old Medina. Thanks again to the MOBT Team!"  Saltz Tosca ~ USA
