Rabat Tours and Trips

I would have given a 5 star rating for accommodations, but for our room in Fes had a sewer smell emanating from below the bathroom sink. Loved the places we visited and the food provided by the riads.

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.

Excellent holiday but perhaps the long day driving to see the roman ruins and the vineyard could be missed out. It was a considerable amount of driving for a 30 min tour of the ruins and a 10 min tour of the vineyard. Another night at Ouzoud would perhaps be better. The local guides were excellent, in particular the two in Marrakech and Essaouria. Very insightful. Riads and Dars were all excellent (with much needed air conditioning). The meals in the family homes were a lovely insight into local culture with mouth watering food.

I booked this trip because it visited three cities I have wanted to visit for some time - Chefchaouen, Fes and Marrakech. They did not disappoint. Mohammed, the guide who was with us for the whole trip could not do enough for us and ensured we were safe. There was also a local guide for each city and they were top notch as well. I found the accommodation very comfortable - mainly in Riads but one night was spent in a lovingly restored Kasbah. I thoroughly recommend this trip.

We took a 10 days trip from Marrakesh to Fes, through Ourzazat and Merzuga desert. Our driver was Mokhtar. We had wonderful time. mokhtar is a very skilled and friendly driver, knowing a lot about every region of Moroco. He knows good photo spots as well. The hotel we stayed in Ourzazat was boutique and very relaxing. The second night we stayed in a luxury camp at the desert, which was above the expectations. A great experience to see a lot of Morocco in relatively short time - I highly recommend Top Desert Tours and Mohamed! Such a variety of experiences and learnt a lot about the country, culture, landscapes, people. Thank you Mokhtar!
