Travelling at your own pace, you'll combine the elegance of eternal favourites like Ravello, Positano and Sorrento with discoveries most travellers never make such as farmers harvesting olives, fishermen crouched over brightly painted boats mending their nets and the bird's eye view of the entire peninsula from the Path of the Gods above Positano.
From Ravello, whose exotic formal gardens at Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone seem to float ethereally between sea and sky, your route takes you first to Positano's chic pastel houses and enticing pebble beach. It's then on to Marina del Cantone, and the hidden shingle coves few visitors ever find. Finally you reach cliff-top Sorrento. With balcony views over Vesuvius, it's a great base to visit Pompeii or Herculaneum by train, or Capri or Ischia by boat.

Although I booked this trip with little or no expectations, I have to state from the start that this was a tough trek for me and my wife.
I should state here that the satisfaction of reaching the peak, individually and part of the group of fifteen that set off from basecamp, with an excellent leader and assistants, surpasses all the challenges that we encountered during the week.
So some of my observations on the itinerary. The distances and elevations documented felt to me underestimated, even though they may have been accurate, the walking day was longer and more challenging than in the itinerary. I should add that the difficulty was maybe by design to ready you for the assault on the Toubkal summit.
Some of the guest houses are very basic, so if you travel as a couple, don't expect to be accommodated together at night.
The camping at basecamp was surprisingly comfortable, and the food prepared by the chef and his team was excellent throughout the trip. However, you must prepare yourself for the prospect of a communal hole in the ground for daily ablutions.
Overall, the trip is definitely one I will never forget, and as I said above, the satisfaction gained from achieving the summit, and looking out over the vast Atlas range, was breathtaking. Not to be underestimate, but if your leaders and camaraderie of the group is the same as ours, Toubkal summit will live long in the memory.

Amazing variety of experiences, excellent tour guide and local specialists. I also loved that Trafalgar supports local artists and family run farms. A highlight for me was the Make Travel Matter experience with the weavers.
This tour will open up your appetite and invite you to sensory pleasures. The vines may provide a beautiful setting, but they also produce an excellent wine that can be enjoyed all along this trip.
From Dijon to Beaune the walks provide a wonderful balance of quiet country lanes, vineyard tracks and woodland trails taking in sleepy, unspoilt villages, and majestic vine-clad hills. Sample fine wines in 13th century cellars and enjoy lunch in a selection of medieval towns including world-renowned Nuits-St-Georges. Walk the historic streets of Dijon and Beaune, hunt for truffles, taste local cheese in a rural manufactory, learn about blackcurrant liquor and enjoy a wine tasting at the majestic wine estate Chateau Clos Vougeot.
In this region known for its epicurean finesse, you can really enjoy fine dining. There will be excellent local dishes such as Beef Bourguignon, Oeufs en Meurette, Poulet de Bresse a la Creme, Perche aux Noix and of course exquisite cheeses like the pungent Epoisses de Bourgogne, to pair with the region's incredible Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.
This tour will stimulate all your senses.
The grand tour is exactly that: full circle of Morocco, 3800 km in 19 days, so be prepared for several full days in the bus. The small group is great and the team leader Mohamed and driver Abdul were excellent.
The tour is well put together. Good balance of activities and free time. I would have passed on the last days of bus and spent more time in the Atlas mountains but it would not have been a Grand Tour. The hotels and bus were comfortable. The desert camps were great and you can bring wine :)
Pack light, layers, one rain coat and a light jacket. Modest clothing is recommended for women but you can wear short sleeves and long shorts. Sneakers are enough, no need for hiking boots. Morocco is not expensive. My daily budget was 30$ and 100$ tips for the entire trip.
Overall lots of fun and great value.

The trip ticked all the boxes as I imagined them, starting with beaches with turquoise transparent waters on the first and last days, from there it was medieval market villages, quiet cycling tracks through vineyards, oaks and almond trees and of course the mountains and their excellent views. Quiet hotels with character, lovely Mediterranean food and above all the charming ways of the locals. I would love to do it again, changing the route to discover even more places.
