Exceptional service!

“We had the absolute best experience with our driver, Hamza! From the moment he greeted us, he made my American family feel incredibly welcome and at ease on our first visit to Morocco. His kindness, professionalism and genuine hospitality truly set the tone for our trip.”

Perfect tour guide and transportation in Morocco

“Hamza was exceptional. We spent the week using his services traveling around Morocco. He showed us all the best sites and recommended the best restaurants. His vehicle was impeccable and he provided water whenever needed. I highly recommend his services.”

Professional, reliable group transportation

“Hiring Tamaris Golden Tours for bus transportation in Morocco was the best decision I made. TGT handled our airport transfers and moved my group of 11 from Casablanca to Rabat, Fes and back. Our drivers were wonderful, especially the friendly and patient Houssam! The drivers were always on time and the bus was comfortable.”
Margaret G · May 2025Business · Group of 11

Airport shuttle

“A great experience every time I used this service. Always on time and very helpful drivers. The cars are comfortable, clean and very spacious with plenty of room for luggage. Highly recommended.”

Reliable driver

“He arranged a van with a wheelchair lift and a tour guide! Super professional, fair and honest. He drove us everywhere and also hired a guide for us.”

Exceptional service

“The driver was punctual and very professional, the car clean and super comfortable. We went from Rabat to Casablanca airport with a lot of luggage and didn't even feel the trip. Very fair price — I'll book again every year.”
Rida B · Trois-Rivières, Canada · Aug 2020Rabat → Casablanca airport

A driver who takes great care

“On a school trip in Casablanca I needed adapted transport for five days due to my motor disability. The Mercedes Vito has a side ramp and a Q'Straint restraint system. The driver was more than punctual, very kind and attentive. Impeccable service.”
kmil81 · Villefranche-de-Rouergue, France · Jan 2020Business · Wheelchair-accessible van

Great service! Always on time.

“I've used them for years for all my airport–hotel transfers in Casablanca. Serious, always on time, smiling, and the 6-seat car is very comfortable. A company I trust with my children when they travel solo to Casablanca.”
