Morocco Tours for Experienced Travelers

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.

The Mt Toubkal trip went really well and our leader Mohammad kept everything well organised. I was impressed with the quality (and quantity!) of the food provided throughout the trip. Accommodation was decent throughout with 4-5 sharing a room at the guesthouses and good sized tents while camping at the Mt Toubkal refuge.

The whole experience was challenging, breathtaking (in all senses of the word) and truly magical. The ease of communication, the warm welcome on arrival, the excellent guidance from our tour leaders, the beautiful band of fellow travellers, the joyeous chef, the porters, our trusted mules Aisha and Fatima - all made this trip a tonic for the soul :) Highly recommendable!
