If you arrive to the city early, there are plenty of sights to keep you occupied. Get a feel for local life over at the Marche Central, where you'll find stalls of fresh produce and street food vendors or take a stroll in Place Mohamed V, Casablanca's central plaza. At 7pm, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception for a welcome meeting. If you want to, there'll be the chance to go out for dinner afterwards.

Customer Reviews
Our guide was excellent and went out of his way to enhance our experience. He was very well organised. The itinerary was great with all aspects of Moroccan culture and geography experienced. The accommodation was really good illustrating the welcoming nature of the Moroccan people, as were the home visits organised for us.
A wonderful way to see Morocco, visiting many of the major cities (not Tangier) and travelling through High Atlas and into desert. Our tour leader Mohammed was very good, informative and well organised and we had a lovely group of like minded people. Transport was mostly by a comfortable bus with an excellent driver (Khalid) as well as a brief trip by 4WD vehicle and then by camel. Highlights for us included a visit to a Berber house, the medina at Fes, the Todra Gorge walk and the camel ride. Accommodation is functional rather than characterful with a couple of exceptions. If accommodation is important to you maybe consider one of Explore’s upgraded trips. It was perfectly fine though. Overall highly recommended.
The accommodation was rated as equivalent to UK 2-3 star and that was what it was. The swimming pools, except for the one in Essouira which was tiny , were great. The itinerary was brilliant taking us to the three different geographical zones of Morocco. Coastal , Atlas mountains and desert, and back. Ancient history, modern life. There were some long drives but that was expected. Explore Leader was very good. His knowledge was brilliant, as was his English. He was clear on each day's planned agenda so each day went smoothly. Our tour leader Mohamed sorted out any problem that arose calmly and efficiently. In addition to the historical sites he took us to some local women's cooperatives which showed us the cultural differences between UK, USA, and Australia from where the group came. which was very interesting, As a group we all got one very well and the guide made us all feel relaxed and in great humour.
In regards to our recent BEST OF MOROCCO tour, the hotels in Casablanca and Essouria were dirty and rundown. Would recommend a change of venue in those 2 cities, otherwise the accommodations were great. In regards to Itinerary, I would prefer to give up 1 or both Free days in Essouria and/or Marrekesh to have included a day in Chefchaouen. Mohammed our tour Leader was amazing and made our trip special. Despite the temps not being very high, felt the bus’s AC was either low on Freon and/or inadequate, i was hot most days during the drives between cities/locations
The Best of Morocco was a tremendous experience—an immersive journey through art, culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes, from the charm of small towns to the energy of vibrant cities. It is truly stimulating to step into a different world.
