Morocco Escorted Tours and Guided Trips

It has been 65 years since I left Morocco having lived just north of Marrakesh for two years. I'm not sure what I expected but all I can now say is that the tour was way too short. Yes, the country has changed and yet not changed in my mind. It is of course much more modern than it was when I lived there and at the same time it's as beautiful as I remembered. Our accommodations, all, were OUTSTANDING, and our tour guide was without question the very best and I am grateful for all he provided as a guide. I would highly recommend this tour to any and all who are considering a tour to Morocco.

One of the best Exodus trips I have experienced. Exodus was able to select the best locations of Morocco to provide an experience not to be forgotten for a long time. We were 15 in our group and we were all quite fun and enjoyable with each other during the long bus rides and tour walks and meals together. We enjoyed the tours of Marrakech, Fez, and Essaouira. Quite thrilling to ride the camels on the Sahara Desert. The sunrise and sunsets on the Sahara were spectacular.

Having booked somewhat last minute, we were anxious approaching our first multi day trek, mostly about our fitness (particularly for me as an energetic 57 year old weekend walker without any training regime), but also about travelling with strangers for 8 days. We need not have been. It was hugely challenging, especially with the unseasonably hot weather (34-36C), but the demanding ascents/descents and long days were achievable and gave us a huge sense of achievement at the end of each day. Campsites were amazing, from dusty village to green (but mostly dry) oasis and awe-inspiring mountain plateau. We barely saw a soul during the days and only small numbers of villagers at night. Seeing the little group of green tents already set up below us as we made our final descent of the day and knowing that the wonderful Exodus team would have a absolutely delicious dinner on, a brew and biscuits (or sometimes pancakes straight from the pan) on arrival was a fantastic reward at the end of each day’s walking. It was a real privilege to be looked after by such experienced, dedicated and kind people - and a hardworking mule. We always felt safe and our guide Mohamed ensured that the pace was regulated to push us onwards, but give decent rests. Lunch was a welcome reward each day, and quite extraordinary given the environment to have a hot dish and a beautiful spread of salads and fresh bread with mint tea. Shade was our one issue during the day, this is a dry landscape that is suffering as a result of climate change. But our team always found lunchtime shade and encouraged us to lie down and rest on carpets after we had eaten our meal! Our group were great, lots of different characters and ages, from multiple countries, travelling as couples, friends or individuals; everyone looked out for each other and the conversation was endless and enriching. We felt exceptionally lucky to have made our last minute decision - it was 100% one of our best ever trips.

Morocco was such a different experience. Loved the camel ride in the Sahara and the nights in the tent. Visiting the mosque in Casablanca was very educational and the mosque was beautiful. The people are very friendly and accommodating and we never felt unsafe. The tour gave such a varied and complete view of the entire country.

Holiday was brilliant. Tour guide was great, food was good and walks were interesting. A couple of improvements however. Trip notes need updating for last walk. It was not flat or easy! Lots of uphills and tiring sand dune walking. Loved it but not all of group enjoyed it. Transport from airport very poor. Had to wait 1.5 hrs when we arrived - in end had to ask a local to ring local number for us as we couldn’t get through. Transport picking us up for the airport was 35 mins late. Very stressful pickups 😕

This was a great family trip (our kids were 15 and 13) with a good mix of activities and sightseeing - it packs loads into 6 days but not too much either. Mohamed was a great guide, we learnt lots about Morocco and all was well organised. It's a fascinating country to visit from mountains to desert and changing fast - well worth a visit.
