North Africa Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

Outstanding guide and trip itinerary near perfect, but with a few areas for improvement. There is a limit to how many souks you need to see. Fez in particular felt like one too many - very little new learnt in over an hour. Generally, I could have done with a lot more history, both cultural and political. The last 3 days were a disappointment in the sense that there was very little of interest beyond the mountains themselves and included a very long transfer. At least a day should have had a distinct focus.

I loved the varied programme of places to see - green parks, ancient buildings, mosques (pity we could only go inside one mosque...but that is the Islamic tradition), mountains, lovely footpaths in oasis, markets and fine views of city. Also I like the varied places to eat - restaurants, picnic, local family houses, little cafes with rooftop views, even motorway service area, and of course the desert tent! Superb Local Moroccan Guide - polite, respectful, well connected to locals, knew the history, customs, and told us what we needed to know without being over prescriptive or too long winded. Very varied activities, food, scenery, countryside, city sights. Lovely other people (by chance) in our group.

Wonderful! Enjoyed the range of experiences. For a first guided tour with a group, this was amazing! Our guide, Samir, was very well suited for the job. He was knowledgeable, funny, read the group, and helpful. Our group turned out to be wonderful. We enjoyed experiencing and seeing so much of Morocco.

A great variety of different things to see and do, from ancient to modern. The four cities we visited were very different experiences, the Atlas mountains were dramatic and the camel trekking in the Sahara a lifetime highlight. A great bunch of people on the trip and a good tour guide.

Extremely well-organised, with an excellent guide, who liaised with a range of local guides and restaurants to provide very smooth transitions between locations. We didn't know Morocco, and this trip provided variety between cities, smaller towns/villages, and more rural locations. The trip allowed us to see a range of places in Morocco, with very experienced guides, and comfortable accommodation, with everything very well-planned. It was good to share experiences with our group of fellow-travellers.

As a member of the Exodus team, I was really excited to experience this Signature trip on my first visit to Egypt, and it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we landed in Cairo and were whisked through the airport by golf cart, the journey felt special. The itinerary strikes a great balance between iconic highlights and lesser-known gems, which helped us explore while avoiding the crowds. Our guide, Andrew, brought ancient Egypt to life with his knowledge, engaging storytelling and fun anecdotes. Every place we stayed was exceptional, with thoughtful service and staff who were always happy to help. Each day of the trip had carefully chosen moments that took us off the beaten path to see something memorable, and it all felt really special. Once on board the private Dahabiya, the experience stepped up even more. The crew did a fantastic job of making us comfortable as we drifted along the river, whether we were stepping off the boat to explore sites or relaxing on deck with a drink and watching the world go by. It's an unforgettable way to discover Egypt.
