Morocco: Souks & Spices

The TopDeck Morocco trip was incredible. The places and length of stay in each place were great and I loved the chances to eat at local families homes. We were always shown through local craftmanship places which was amazing to learn about such as the silk weavers, tannery, mosaics and more. The information guide we received had info on the option extras we could do but we found we had to ask about those more than they were actually offered to us but they were still all arranged quickly if we asked. The bus trips are on the longer side which is expected to get around a whole country but we never really felt it as we stopped to see lots of things on the way and for lunch. Overall amazing trip.

This trip gives such an incredible deep dive into Morocco! The culture, the food, the landscape, the cities, the activities, and the shopping. Every day of this trip is drastically different to the previous days in the best way possible. There is a good balance between doing things and down time, and between travel/bus time and time in the different locations. If you're considering this trip, let this be your sign to just do it!

Great trip and tour manager!

The trip was very well organised and executed perfectly! Our trip leader Kalid was incredible! He knew all the locals which made us feel safe and assured everywhere we went. Kalid was so well organised and gave us plenty of warning of when we might need to tip, cover up, or anything else that might impact our enjoyment. Couldn't recommend this trip or leader enough. Only thing I would suggest is potentially adding another night in the desert giving time for more activities. Potentially losing the free day in chefchaouen to make up the days.

This trip was amazing! I loved all the stops/cities we visited. Chefchaouen in particular because other tours I considered didn’t include it. The only thing I would change is having more time in the Sahara, we really only had one afternoon there since we had to leave again early the next morning. I would’ve preferred another day or even leaving later in the day the next day so we could have opportunities for other desert activities like ATVs. There wasn’t really anything to do at the next location/hotel the next day so time would’ve been better spent in the Sahara. I liked all the hotels except for the first one in Casablanca - it was very outdated and the rooms were noticeably dirty. I liked that there were so many included meals also! Our tour guide Khalid was wonderful and I loved that he would always help us book restaurant reservations and have recommendations in each location.

Nacer was a great tour guide, very friendly and always available 24/7 in case you need anything. The only thing I would change is having 1 extra free day in the Sahara

The tour gives you a really good snapshot of what Morocco has to offer, you hit a lot of the main tourist spots. There is a lot of driving but the itinerary does pre warn you.

The trip itself including destinations visited and accomodation is the only thing I would recommend. Topdecks communication, preparation and app were poor at best and our guide lacked basic things that I would expect including carrying out a head count (he went to leave twice forgetting someone and only stopped when someone in the group noticed people were missing), communicating the schedule for the next day to the entirety of the group and sticking to the itinerary. I went on this trip upon recommendation from a couple of friends who I know had a very different and positive experience so the inconsistency deters me from using the company again. I would appreciate a call from Topdeck to discuss why we received such a poor experience.

I had a great time! Morocco was great and I saw a lot of unique things. Our guide Said was amazing! He was so patient and really went above and beyond and he booked for us some really cool experiences that I doubt that I would've done otherwise.

Was super happy with the whole trip, had an amazing group and tour guide Mouna. The Sahara was a highlight for sure. Some of the accomodation could have been better. The desert camp and the stay the day before the desert were exceptional. The accomodation in Chefchauoen was great too. Our guide was super informative and interacted really great with the group.
