I enjoyed very much the Morocco part of the tour mainly because of the very caring and honest tour guide, Karim. He is the best. He took of me very well. All the major cities and tourist spots were covered in the tour. I have recommended him to my travel agency, in case anyone wants to visit Morocco.
The Spain part was ok but guides were speaking in Spanish more than English, so it was a bit difficult to understand. Also, when they drop us off for free time, they do not explain what are the things to see in the area. We have to figure out ourselves.
The time in each place is short and we are always rushing for time. Time spent in the bus seems longer than time spent out of the bus.
But they did cover major sites but most of these places were offered as panaromic view. What would have been better is, if at least one major attraction in each city, we can enter the place and see and experience it. For eg, Real Alcazar in Sevilla - there were no tickets purchased for us and we did not get to see inside.
Great itinerary, the best introduction to Morocco one can wish for. I got lucky that our group was only 6 people and we had a great time and flexibility because of that. Itinerary was the best, great friendly local people always ready to help and gorgeous country that exceeded my expectations
The 11-Day Tour Morocco was fantastic. It exceeded our expectations, and we wished we could have spent more time at the majority of the locations. Karim, our tour guide, was wonderful. He handled every part of our tour so we didn't have to worry about anything. You'll be on the go all the time, so prepare. I wholeheartedly suggest this tour.
The Grand Tour of Morocco was a very good experience. Our guide Omar and driver Hussan were excellent. Hussan kept our minibus spotless and was always warm and friendly, helping out wherever he could. Our guide Omar went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He was always available to solve any issues that came up, and tried to cater to our group to make sure we had what we needed and wanted.
We only had seven people on our tour, which made the 14 passenger seat minibus (which was brand new) very comfortable.
We had a good combination of group activities and independent time on our own. I was a solo traveller, and enjoyed getting to know everyone on the tour.
The tour was in February, which turned out to be a great time to be in Morocco. It was cool in the morning and evenings, and comfortably warm in the afternoon. Bring warm sweaters and a good jacket if you visit in February. The best part was there weren’t too many tourists around making sites easier to visit and restaurants easier to get a good table.
I found the Moroccan people to be very friendly, and I never felt unsafe anywhere we went. Our guide made sure we had our bearings in each new city or town we stayed in so it was easy to get around.
The accommodations ranged from very good to shabby. I don’t mind basic accommodation as long as it’s clean, but one hotel we stayed for two nights was run down and not clean. The Riad we stayed in on our last night was beautiful and very comfortable. I also really enjoyed both nights at the Nomad camps in the desert.
There were some very long days on the minibus (six to eight hours of driving on a few days), but our guide made sure we had stops to stretch our legs.
We covered well over 3000 kilometres on this tour, which provided a great opportunity to really see the country.
I would highly recommend this tour so long as you’re prepared for the full on pace and some long days.
Again, I can’t say enough how much I appreciated our guide and driver.

Trip was amazing! Only thing would be maybe spending more time in each location. The trade off would then be visiting fewer places or lengthening the trip, but I thought Fes was the best location since we were able to explore the city.
Our tour with Anouar was fantastic! He was an amazing guide and shared so much about the Moroccan culture, traditions and people throughout our travels. Although the driving time was quite long, we were able to view so much of the countryside and stop to take pictures whenever we wanted. The scheduled tour stops were beautiful and Anouar would tell us where to get the best pictures or give us some background on its history. The riad and desert camp were also fabulous - very clean, well decorated and both had delicious meals.

After meeting the group in Casablanca, we begin our journey, making our first stop in the capital city of Rabat where we'll explore the Oudaia Kasbah, Royal Palace, and the Hassan Tower before moving on to Tetouan. Next is the Blue City of Chefchaouen in the North of Morocco, where we'll have the opportunity to explore the main square and Kasbah with its white-painted doors and blue walls.
Turning our direction south, our next stop is Fes, often considered to be one of the oldest and largest medieval cities in the world. With a 2-night stay here, you'll have plenty of time to explore this city and its maze-like Medina.
As our journey continues, we pass over the Moyen Atlas and spend a night in the mountainous town of Midelt, where we'll have time for a short hike in the surrounding hills and a visit to a local Berber family, where we'll experience a few hours in their way of life.
Be prepared for a change of scenery as our adventure takes us into the Sahara Desert. We'll take a camel trek through the sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi to our base for the night, a traditional Berber camp. You can choose to sleep within the tents or choose to sleep outside, beneath the star-speckled desert sky.
Next, you'll have time in the deep Todra Gorge, with the opportunity for a short hike through the canyon and Palmerie area, or even try some rock climbing. You'll then follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ouarzazate and the Ksar of Ait Benhaddou, which you may find familiar as it has appeared in several movies, some of which were also partially filmed in the nearby Atlas Studios, which you'll also have the opportunity to visit.
The final leg of our journey firstly takes us to the coast, where we'll spend 2 nights in the laid-back town of Essaouira. While here, you can enjoy seafood, try your hand at kite surfing, or explore the UNESCO-listed Medina and former Portuguese fortifications. This comprehensive tour of Morocco ends in Marrakech, where an optional tour is available to explore this Imperial City, the fourth of which you will have visited on this tour.
For those passengers who find it easier to fly in and out of Marrakech, we also offer a 15-day version of this tour, starting 1 day earlier in Marrakech. Please see the optional extras for further details
