A note from Hassan

"Salam (Hi in Arabic), my name is Hassan and I'm a local travel agent in Morocco and the United States. I was born in Morocco to nomadic parents who decided to settle in the small village of Merzouga by the majestic sand dunes of Erg Chebbi so that their children could attend school.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English language and literature in 2006 and then immediately decided that I preferred to be a guide! I’ve now been guiding and organizing trips throughout Morocco since 2007.

Currently making both the United States and Morocco my home, I have a clear understanding of what travelers expect and what they’re hoping to see in my native country.

My specialty is Morocco, my passion is Morocco, and my satisfaction is helping travelers dive into the sights, scents, and secrets of this exotic kingdom.

My extensive experience and the unique cultural perspective of a Moroccan native ensure that I can help you plan a voyage through my country that will be safe, stimulating, and unforgettable. Welcome!”

  • What you can get done in an hour depends on your goals for the consultation and how organized you are coming into it.

    In most cases, an hour is ample time to create a solid itinerary, answer your major travel questions, get practical advice on how to travel in your destination, and discuss lots of great local tips and recommendations.

    To ensure that the hour is used efficiently, when you schedule your call, our pre-consultation questionnaire will ask you what your primary goals for the consultation are. Prior to the call, your Local Expert will review your questionnaire and prepare detailed information addressing those goals.

    They’ll come into the call ready to share specific advice, recommendations, itinerary ideas/revisions, and useful links and resources for you to review together.

  • Yes! Each consultation is guided by a comprehensive pre-consultation questionnaire that you fill out immediately upon booking.

    We’ll ask you a series of 30+ detailed questions that really dig into you, your trip, your interests and travel style, and what you want to discuss with your Local Expert.

    The questionnaire will cover things like: the dynamics of your group, the things you enjoy while traveling, your budget, how early you want to start your day and how late you want to end it, whether you want to hit the highlights or roam the back streets, and even what types of restaurants you want to eat at.

    Your Local Expert will focus only on your interests and travel style.

  • Our Local Experts are seasoned travel professionals who have spent decades working in their countries/regions. While their personal interests may be different from yours, they’ve worked with thousands of travelers and have recommendations and advice for every type of individual.

    They know their destinations in-depth and can help plan a trip for every traveler and taste.

  • No. Our service is geared toward independent, do-it-yourself travelers who intend to make bookings on their own.

    Our goal is not to plan your trip for you, but rather to help you plan a better trip independently. To that end, our Local Experts will give you all of the information that you need to confidently put your trip together yourself.

    When Local Experts recommend things like restaurants, hotels, excursions/activities, tours, drivers, etc., they’ll provide you with contact details and links so that you can make the final arrangements on your own.

  • Almost every Go Ask A Local expert has at least 10 years of professional travel experience as a guide or trip planner in their country/region.

    We work with a vetted team of seasoned professionals who know their destinations inside and out.

    Unlike other companies, when you book a call, you’ll always be connected directly with your chosen Local Expert. We never pass anyone on to a junior sales associate or some anonymous back office team. With us, what you see is what you get.

  • To start things off, we’ll connect you directly with Hassan by video call or email (whichever you prefer) to begin discussing your trip.

    Once you have your final plan and are ready to book, Hassan will send you a final price and we’ll collect a deposit to confirm your trip.

  • Our Tailor-made Trip service is intended for travelers who like to be involved in their trip planning, but want an expert to manage the specifics.
