It was a "grand" tour! It covered what we wanted to see, do and experience in Morocco. Our tour guide, Moha, was well informed and very patient in accommodating the needs of all in the group. He dealt with all situations with good humour. The local guides enhanced the experience in understanding the Moroccan people and their culture.
Our own special highlights included... Chefchaouen, eating with a family in Fes, both visits to desert camps, particularly the camel ride, walking in the Todra Gorge, eating fish in Essaaouira and not forgetting getting lost in the souks.
A lot of travel but each journey was fascinating with many points of interest.
