Casablanca Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

The itinerary is busy and a couple of long days on the bus. However, our tour guide, Hassan, made sure we had regular stops for bathroom breaks in very clean places that also allowed you to get a coffee, snack or souvenir!! Had a few stops to see incredible scenery including an Oasis!! Hassan accommodated so many of our requests and took good care of us. He is extremely knowledgeable about Morocco and shared so much information with us. If he is your tour guide, make sure you get him to tell you his story as to how he became a tour guide...fascinating. We had a stop at a place that sells and makes Rose water and aloe products...a great stop!! We did go to a homeopathic place to get argan oil items, beautiful soap made with orange blossom and moroccan spices!! Great prices and deals!! We had some unique hotels in beautiful settings. Our tents in the desert were incredible!! They had electricity, running water and AC!! The Souks (markets) are amazing. We got to see the date market, apples, olives and fish!! These markets sell everything from leather products, jewelry, woven products etc. I wish we were given time to shop in these markets!! That was disappointing. In Marrakech we were given an hour to shop the market or in a 3 story store that had all moroccan products. This store was pricier than the markets and you could not barter but you could use your credit card. You need cash in the markets!! The tannery is incredible to see but expensive and a hard selling if you show interest in anything. The rug place has incredible handmade rugs and they are pricey so if this is something you want, be prepared to pay for the quality and they pack it up and will ship!! Again, a bit of a hard sell. The side excursions are worth paying for except the first dinner and show, I found the show/entertainment tired but the Riad is beautiful. The final dinner in Marrakech was better and the entertainment was great. Our hotel was changed in Cadablanca to a Hilton and it was lovely. The Gray Boutique hotel is "tired" and I had to keep asking for items such as a blow dryer, to fix my TV, extra towels. I would highly recommend this 11 day tour. It really shows you the beauty and history of Morocco and we got up close with camels at a well/watering hole...so cool!!

Great well thought out tour. Excellent guide who stayed with us the whole time and met the needs of the group. Local guides also excellent. Really had a feel for the real Morocco by the end of the tour. Drives also excellent and felt safe the whole time

This is an opportunity to discover Morocco from the imperial cities to the remote villages. Camel riding in the Sahara desert. Souks and medinas presenting the most amazing assault on every sense! Local guides take pride in showing off their palace or medinas and swimming pools offer opportunities to cool down at the end of busy days. Breakfasts are plentiful and the sights to be seen as you traverse this amazing country are truly wonderful.

This was our third trip with Tafalgar, and as, usual Trafalgar did not disappoint us :-). The Best of Morocco trip is absolutely outstanding. The variety of experiences you get across the culture, and during the 15-city visit cannot be accomplished on your own. The overnight stays were a great variety, and the Sahara dessert over night tent experience is so memorable!!!! We loved the entire experience from start to finish! From the beach to the capital to the desert to the cave to the modern day city, to even where they ride donkeys! What fun! What culture! What amazing, memorable, picture-worthy moments! Plus, the food was a good variety. In short, trust me. This trip is worth it :-). Our Travel Director was with us every step of the way!! She too was great. Thank you, Trafalgar.

An lovely tour that really took you through the heart of Morocco. From the local markets, the mountains and the Sahara desert. Those were just a few of many great ventures we took seeing so much of the country!

The itinerary was a pleasant balance of free time against organized activities. The optional tours were very good choices; we did all of them. The Tour Director went out of his way to make sure everything went well and all questions were addressed.
