ExploreWithMaria is a trusted travel planning and tour coordination service dedicated to creating authentic, personalized travel experiences throughout Morocco. We are operated by Altamira Ventures LLC, a licensed travel agency based in the United States and registered to conduct business operations in Morocco.
Our mission is simple: to help travelers discover the true essence of Morocco through carefully customized itineraries, reliable local partnerships, and dedicated personal service.
ExploreWithMaria was founded by Mariame Aitousarrah, a passionate travel professional with deep roots in Morocco and extensive experience organizing transformative travel experiences for international visitors.
With years of experience coordinating travel services across Morocco, Maria recognized a gap in the market for truly personalized, authentic travel planning. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all package tours, Maria founded ExploreWithMaria to provide flexible, customized trip planning tailored to each traveler’s unique interests, preferences, and budget.
Today, ExploreWithMaria works with a trusted network of local partners—including boutique hotels, experienced guides, activity providers, and transportation companies—to create memorable Moroccan experiences for travelers from around the world.
Authenticity First: We believe the best travel experiences come from genuine connections with local culture, communities, and landscapes. We don’t push travelers through tourist traps; instead, we craft itineraries that reflect each client’s genuine interests.
Personalization: Every traveler is unique. We take time to understand your goals, preferences, limitations, and dreams. Your trip should reflect YOU, not a template.
Local Expertise: Our team has deep knowledge of Morocco—from hidden gems in the Sahara to vibrant city experiences in Marrakech, from mountain trekking to coastal adventures. We partner with local experts who share this knowledge.
Reliability: Travel planning requires attention to detail and dependable follow-through. We manage every element of your trip coordination so you can focus on enjoying your experience.
Flexibility: We understand that travel plans change. Whether you need to modify your itinerary mid-trip or adjust dates before departure, we adapt to your needs.
