Treasures of Morocco

I was disappointed by the tours of carpet making and leather making. They reminded me of time share sales that I have seen in Mexico. The information about the process was very small compared to the intense sales pressure to purchase a product. I felt very sorry for anyone who purchased a product that they had not intended to buy. I t was a horrible experience. I left wondering what commission our guides were given for bringing the tours to these shops. We were advised of the appropriate gratuities to give our guides and bus drivers. This would have cost us about 20 Euros a day and added about 400 Euros to our cost. How much do your employees get paid? Why are we asked(directed) to subsidize their wages? Shouldn’t. This be our choice? We found that fellow travellers who purchased s package just before the trip were given a 10% discount while we were paying the full original price. This meant that we were paying about 1200 Euros more for our trip. We were not impressed with the first and last night’s accommodation. The carpet was stained to the degree that we asked for another room that was not much better. On our last night we asked for a wake up call so that we could get up for an early flight at the airport. This did not come. I had hoped for more information about the Moroccan people, the country and it’s history would be provided. The bus driver deserved a tip, but we found that the tour guide was lacking in his role as tour leader.

Very good pace and coverage Great driver Very good Tour Director

The tour takes you to the highlights of Morocco. My favorite memories are the Medina in Fes and the Sunset excursion to the Sahara Desert. Our guide was very informative. One downside of trip was all the traveling although there were breaks. There really was no time to enjoy the hotel amenities. Food was plentiful.Moroccan wine lacks complexity. Have enough small change coins for bathroom breaks

Great itinerary. Certainly experienced the diverse culture & landscape of Morocco.
