I recently completed the Morocco Luxury Escape, and I cannot recommend this experience enough! From the moment I arrived in Casablanca to my departure from Marrakech, every detail was taken care of with precision and elegance. The entire tour was a seamless blend of adventure, luxury, and cultural immersion.
The tour began with a warm welcome at the airport, followed by smooth transfers to beautiful hotels, many of which were luxurious 5-star riads and kasbahs. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and each city, from Rabat to Fes and Marrakech, revealed layers of Moroccan history and culture that I would have never discovered on my own. I particularly enjoyed the private, guided tours in Fes and Marrakech, where I explored hidden gems within the medina and learned about local crafts and traditions.
One of the highlights was the Sahara desert experience. Riding camels into the golden dunes and spending the night at a luxurious desert camp was surreal. The entire setup, with its opulent tents and delicious meals, made me feel like royalty under the starlit sky. This was definitely a bucket-list experience, and this tour operator made it unforgettable.
The hot air balloon ride over Marrakech was another unforgettable highlight. The views of the city and the surrounding Atlas mountains at sunrise were simply breathtaking.
Additionally, I want to commend this tour company for their exceptional service. Our driver was professional, punctual, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire journey. The small details, like arranging meals in local spots or offering personalized recommendations, were a nice touch that really elevated the trip.
I cannot thank our guide Youssef and mule driver Mustafa enough, they were absolutely brilliant and really made this trip extremely special. I’ve completely fallen in love with the Atlas Mountains and the kind people who live there.
The trail is beautiful and takes you through varied and geologically interesting landscapes. We did the walk in December, and there hadn’t been snowfall yet, so the walk itself wasn’t overly strenuous giving us the chance to take in the surroundings and put the world to rights, and time to explore the villages in the evenings.
We were fortunate enough to have clear skies every night - in the small villages the view of the stars is incredible!
Highly recommend it! Thanks Youssef and Mustafa!
Walking Granada and in Las Alpujarras was an amazing walk, in beautiful autumn weather. The region and its villages was fascinating, the accommodation and food commendable. We had a glitch with bus travel to the first village, but on the whole, everything went very well. I would recommend this walk.
I greatly enjoyed walking the Camino between Logroño and León (continuing from where I stopped last year). People had told me this central stretch is boring, but I didn't find it so. They did a great job of arranging hotel bookings and luggage transport. I can't wait to go back and complete the final section.

The awe inspiring architecture is clearly evident, especially in the UNESCO world heritage site of Valletta, Malta's capital city. With so many rich and colourful traditions and excellent gastronomy, there is plenty on these islands to tantalise your tastebuds.

I was absolutely thrilled with our experience! We chose the "Morocco Luxury Tour – North to South," and everything was perfect from start to finish. The organization was flawless, and the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
The tour began in Casablanca, where we were greeted by a professional guide who accompanied us throughout the entire trip. We visited iconic cities such as Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech, as well as lesser-known gems like Chefchaouen and Essaouira, each with its own unique charm.
The most impressive part of the trip was our visit to the Sahara Desert, where we experienced luxury glamping in a beautifully decorated tent. Under a starry sky, we enjoyed delicious traditional meals. Riding a camel across the dunes was an unforgettable experience!
This trip perfectly combined adventure with comfort, and the itinerary was well-structured to offer us a variety of experiences. We explored historical landmarks, vibrant markets, and had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture in every city we visited.
Start off the week in the Troodos Mountains and the stone-built village of Kakopetria, with its narrow, cobbled streets and the nearby 11th century painted church, Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis, one of ten that make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Painted Churches in the Troodos Region. Enjoy fabulous views across the Solea and Marathasa valleys to the sea as well as the northern slope of Mount Olympus - the highest point in Cyprus and home to both a long-range British radar installation and a ski resort in winter.
The next part of your trip heads towards the Northwest and Droushia with walks across the Laona Plateau with its picturesque stone-built villages. There's also the possibility of visiting a local winery. Enjoy fabulous panoramic views as you head towards the coast at delightful Lara Beach and the dramatic Avakas Gorge Nature trail. As your luggage is transported to your final hotel, you'll walk from Droushia to the Baths of Aphrodite cave, enjoying spectacular views of Cyprus's Northwest coast with the whole of Chrysochous Bay laid out before you, from the northwest tip of the island at Cape Arnaoutis, all the way to Pomos village in the northeast. You'll also walk stretches of the Smigies, Adonis and Aphrodite Trails with stunning views from the Moutti tis Sotiras peak and enjoy a walk along the North coast, visiting some of the best beaches and coves including Fontana Amoroza, the Blue Lagoon, Manolis Beach and more.

Hi Stefania! Sorry to take so long to write back. It has been crazy trying to get back into the swing of things at work after that trip. Italy was amazing!! We absolutely loved it! As for feedback on the trip, we really don't have anything that was negative. We loved everything that was planned! We especially loved how you planned the sites that we went and how the pattern flowed (not sure if you did it on purpose but we think so). Also, thank you for being very accessible to us during the whole planning of the trip. You helped put us at ease and it was very reassuring that we chose the right company. That is all that I can given you that might be considered constructive. The rest I could say would just be compliments on everything else. If I can think of anything else that I think is useful I will definitely email you. Hope all is well, Jane P.S. - Does your company only provide trips for Italy or other countries as well, just wondering for the future :)

Located between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Morocco is as much a delight for travelers interested in history and culture as it is for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy outdoor activities. Be it the cities that transport visitors to centuries back in time or the beauty of Saharan dunes and rugged Atlas Mountains, Morocco has something to offer to every traveler.
This 11-day, active, small-group tour is the ultimate introduction to Morocco's breathtaking vistas and ancient cities. Start your journey from Casablanca with a drive through wide farming plains to Rabat. Explore Chefchaouen during a walking tour with a local guide before heading for the ancient city of Fez.
Put on your walking shoes and head for the Atlas Mountains from Fez. Travel through copses of evergreen pine, cedar and poplar trees. You might even encounter nomadic Berber people along the way. The mountains eventually give way to the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. Try climbing the massive Merzouga dunes, some of which are around 250 m high.
Spend a night camping in the desert under the starry African sky. Next on the itinerary is a hiking trip in the valley of Todra, known for its series of river canyons carved out of limestone. Leave the wilderness behind and head back to civilization after that. Visit the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira and see their highlights before the trip comes to an end in Casablanca, the final destination of your itinerary.
