I had no issues with the service provided by G. Great as always. My issues were with being there during Ramadan and some of the restrictive Islamic rules -- something that G can't do anything about. ?
Led by an expert local guide, this exciting 9 day group tour is an excellent way to see the country through the eyes of someone who calls it home. Starting and ending in Marrakech, this tour sees you wander the lively medinas of Marrakech and Fes, visit the striking Majorelle Gardens, and marvel at the ancient kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. Journey through the Atlas Mountains to the vast dunes of the Sahara, where you’ll ride camels and camp under the stars. Explore Roman ruins at Volubilis, the imperial city of Meknes, and the coastal capital of Rabat. Cap it off with a visit to Casablanca’s towering Hassan II Mosque.
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!
Although we experienced an earthquake it was handled very well by our tour guide, Hassain. He made sure we were safe and it didn't affect our trip too much.
The journey of a lifetime awaits in Morocco on this exhilarating two week adventure.

Nicely conducted trip that covered the imperial capitals and other important places. The guides were excellent , they took care of each of us and provided deep explanations.
The best part of this trip was the optional tours, its a must that no one should miss.

Spice-scented markets, glittering coastlines, ancient cities. The north is Morocco beyond Marrakech and the Sahara, packed with authentic experiences.

But, of course, the true Morocco is found in the people you’ll meet – the bread makers, riad owners, and local guides – all keen to share their culture and history with you.
I thoroughly enjoyed my journey from Madrid, through Portugal, and into Morocco, including the desert extension. The group leaders were fantastic, and the itinerary was thoughtfully organized. The local guides were outstanding, and the accommodations were comfortable, adding to the overall experience.
