Five private day trips from Marrakech and Casablanca in your own vehicle with a professional driver.
Four private day trips start in Marrakech (the Ourika Valley, Essaouira, the Ouzoud Waterfalls, and Ait Ben Haddou with Ouarzazate) and one city tour starts in Casablanca. Each trip is a private vehicle with a professional driver, hotel or riad pickup and a flexible pace, per private group. A local guide is optional on every trip.
A green High Atlas valley day: Berber villages, a Berber home visit and an optional river walk toward the Setti Fatma waterfalls.
A day on Morocco's Atlantic coast: an argan cooperative stop, the walled medina, sea ramparts, fishing port and beach.
One of Morocco's most famous waterfalls: scenic trails, wild Barbary monkeys and an optional boat ride near the base.
A long day across the High Atlas to the UNESCO-listed ksar of Ait Ben Haddou and the Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate.
A private tour of Casablanca's main landmarks: the Hassan II Mosque, the Corniche, Mohammed V Square and the Habous quarter.
Every trip is a private vehicle with a professional driver per private group, not per person. Road times are approximate and depend on traffic.

Practical answers about private service, pickup, guides, costs, timing, and family travel.
Yes. The vehicle and driver are reserved for your group, so the journey is more comfortable and the pace is flexible.
Every listed day trip is priced per private group, not per person. The price estimate on each trip page shows the estimate and the price per person for your group.
For green mountain scenery close to Marrakech, choose the Ourika Valley, about 1 to 1.5 hours each way. For waterfalls and walking trails, choose the Ouzoud Waterfalls, about 3 hours each way. For the Atlantic coast, choose Essaouira, about 2.5 to 3 hours each way. For kasbahs and southern scenery, choose Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, a long day with about 8 hours of driving. For a city, choose the Casablanca city tour.
The Marrakech trips start with pickup at your hotel or riad in Marrakech. The Casablanca city tour starts at your hotel, the port or the airport. Each trip page lists the pickup time, which we confirm when you book.
A professional driver is included on every trip. A local guide is optional on each trip and is not included in the price; each trip page says where one is available.
No. Lunch, drinks, entrance fees where a site charges one, the Ouzoud boat ride and the Hassan II Mosque interior ticket are paid separately, so you choose where to eat and which optional sites to visit.
Yes, within a safe same-day schedule. Tell us your priorities when you request availability and your driver will keep the day sensibly paced.
Families travel on private day trips. Tell us the children's ages when you request availability so we can advise on the route; the Ourika and Ouzoud walks, for example, include uneven ground, and the Ait Ben Haddou trip is a long day.
Open the trip page, use the price estimate and press Check Availability, or send your dates through WhatsApp, the contact form or email. Your booking is confirmed directly with Morocco Happiness Tours.
