Absolutely the best tour I have ever taken. We visited the highlights of Morocco, covered many different regions of the country. I especially enjoyed learning about the Berber people and the Nomads. Our tour guide Mohammed was efficient, organized and attentive. He took care of each person in the group and made accommodations for everyones needs. Love, love, love this trip! It exceeded my expectations!!!

Highly recommend this trip. A really varied trip showing the best that Morocco has to offer. Marrakech is very manic and a bit 'in your face' but thanks to an excellent tour leader and local guide the group were able to find our way to such hidden gems as the Majorelle Gardens (Yves St Laurent's former gardens) and the 'Secret' Garden. The trip up to the Atlas Mountains and stay in Douar Samra was nothing short of magical, I got to stay in the Tree House while others stayed in the very unusual and individual rooms in the house or annex. Meals were a delight thanks to the marvellous cooking of Rashida the resident cook and the atmospheric use of candles (there is no electricity in the main house) and traditional low level seating and tables. Your luggage is transported the final distance by donkey and there are also ducks and all vegetables are grown in the Douar's vegetable garden. Fabulous views and sunsets and great walking in the mountains. However the gem is absolutely Essaouira. I had never heard of this place before but it is the most delightful and fascinating seaside town. Again great orientation tour from local guide Rashida and plenty of time to enjoy the shopping, sweeping sandy beach, bars, restaurants and busy exciting fishing harbour. Our leader, Abdul, was very informative and accommodating and great fun. Morocco is well worth a visit and I will be back!

The tour was great to get an overview of the country, very well organized , bus driver was fantastic, hotel were good with good breakfast. The oco lodge was the nicest place to stay. More time in Fez would be great, sadly there was no spare time to explore. The gorge walk was a bit more difficult than explained and it should probably say that older people might struggle as there was no path and we were hiking over slippery and steep terrain, having to step over rocks. I think we were all a bit surprised by the difficulty of the walk. But the local guide there was fabulous and meeting a berber family was very nice experience. I would stop the trips to the overpriced tourist shops and production areas with sometimes aggressive selling and rather visit small businesses the Moroccan people use. We requested to stop at a seller by the road which was a great experience and a fraction of the price. The local guides were fabulous, full of enthusiasm and giving plenty of info on the walks and beyond ,making it very interesting . Sadly that can't be said about the explore Tourguide. I never had a Tourguide with such little enthusiasm and interest in the guests. He only spoke minimum, didn't give much info about Morocco, didn't stay with the meals when taking us to his place of choice (sadly often full of tourists with moderate food, small private places provided much better food and half the price) Instead he wondered off to see friends. Orientation walks were just rushing with no photo stop and not much guidance , no maps were handed out like on other tours. When I asked what museum to see in Marrakesh the answer was to check Google. That's disappointing. We considered to see the Louis Vuitton garden but needed booking in advance and was sold out by the time we arrived. This is something the guide should have told us and organized. I also never had a tour where the guide leaves early. The tour was till 20.10 but he left 2 days earlier
on the 18.10 for another tour. He put us into a taxi after dinner but couldn't be bothered to take us to the hotel just said goodbye. I have been on several tours and know that was an exception but one lady was first time with explore and very disappointed.
