France and Morocco Tours and Trips

The whole experience was challenging, breathtaking (in all senses of the word) and truly magical. The ease of communication, the warm welcome on arrival, the excellent guidance from our tour leaders, the beautiful band of fellow travellers, the joyeous chef, the porters, our trusted mules Aisha and Fatima - all made this trip a tonic for the soul :) Highly recommendable!

All of the sites were memorable but especially all (3) of the gondala mountain excursions were amazing. Riding to the top of the mountain to the cheese facory and having lunch was also a favorite. Way too many memorable moments to mention but a trip to remember for sure

I loved the walking tour of Annecy. Our local tour guide Odile was so animated and interesting to listen to. The trip to the top of Mon Blanc was amazing I also loved visiting the Site Alp Cheese farm. We got a look at a working farm and daily life in Switzerland. Their cheese is outstanding! The Top of Europe! Wish we had more time to stay longer in the charm of Europe. We thorough enjoyed this trip. Our tour guide Mauro and driver Diego were the best! Well done Collette!!

I really enjoyed my Morocco trip with Explore! The itinerary covered all the sites I wanted to see & I liked that there was free time on most days rather than a full itinerary with no time to do anything we wanted aside from the group. The riad in Chefchaouen was outstanding, the best of all the places we stayed by far. The one in Fez was somewhat disappointing; despite having a very impressive 'lobby' the rooms were not of a standard that would be expected on a upgraded tour. The sheets appeared grubby and the bathroom floor the same. Despite this I thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and would recommend it to everyone. Our guide Boubker was very good at his job and was very attentive to the needs of our party. He was patient and very helpful. Overall my experience was a very positive one.

This was my very first group tour holiday. I opted for the Upgraded- Discover Morocco because quite frankly I like to have 'quality' accommodation rather than hostels. There was one hotel downgrade due to not enough space for all that I did not find was agreeable and certainly not on a par with our other Riads and Kasbah. I hope Explore do not ever consider using this particular hotel on their upgraded tour again. Looking back, I feel I was very disappointed, but the rest of the tour had been wonderfully overwhelming that I had many more fabulous things to experience. Our Tour leader Boubker Boutkhoum, had stepped in to cover for the original tour leader and I get the impression that this may have been short notice for him. Boubker was kind, caring, an excellent organiser as well as being a diligent mediator. He was often often phoning ahead liaising with the accommodations, booking restaurants for us and even finding some that sold wine! (This was important for our group). His passion for his country, religion and being a Berber shone through with so much integrity and intelligence that everyone loved him and learned so much from him. I felt he was really looking after us all and seemed to be calm, have so much patience and a good sense of humour.

Fantastic overview of Europe! The itinerary is fast paced with long days. Need stamina for 18 days of travel. Our Tour Director -*personal info removed by Feefo* local knowledge and understanding of the many cultures we covered was invaluable to our experience both on the tour and in our further travels. He made us travellers, instead of tourists!
