Morocco Small Group Trips

This holiday was a fantastic trip for our family (2 adults & 2 teenage girls). The itinerary was varied, with a good mix of activities (walking, cycling, camel riding etc.) alongside more cultural visits to places we wouldn't have otherwise seen (e.g. kasbahs, a salt mine, pottery co-operative, Koranic library and souks) as well as free time at the hotel swimming pools. The accommodation was comfortable and exceeded our expectations for the rural gîte and the desert tents. Our guide, Mohamed Moujane, was excellent. He was informative, fun, attentive to all the guests' needs and smoothly managed all the administrative tasks (e.g. tour guides/tickets/tips etc.). The minibus drivers, Hassan and Mohamed, were also amazing. All the people we met during the holiday were lovely and made the trip both fun and educational for us all.

Great tour, our guide Hamid was really knowledgeable and personable. The lunches with locals were great. Loved the falls, the medina and city tours, and the desert experience. Only 2 complaints. #1, showers in most of the hotels were hard to use due to the hoses being inadequately mounted. The one in Fez was really poor, combined with the shower curtain being 2 short the floor got more water than my body. #2, some days we spent TOO much time in the van. We did have adequate rest stops, Hamid made sure of that!

An excellent tour seeing key locations in Morocco. The long drives allowed us to experience the beauty of the countryside - sensational in several locations. The tour leader Hamid was an experienced tour leader who was full of fun, kindness and local knowledge. The highlight for me was riding a camel in the Sahara Desert at sunrise. Actually they are quite nice clean animals.

This tour really had it all in terms of a broad range of experiences that took you from the mountains to the coast to the desert and so much in between. Everyday brought something interesting to experience, photograph and talk about with fellow travellers. There were 13 travellers in our van, and that was a large enough group! Most of the accommodations were fine. We very much enjoyed dinners at the riads and the family home. It was an awesome and inspiring trip that brought a deeper appreciation of a Muslim country. Every sense was engaged! We found the people warm, welcoming, and kind. It is not likely that we will return (given that there are numerous bucket list countries yet to visit), and this trip felt like it truly satisfied our curiosity.

The whole experience was superb. Explore provided a very professional service in partnership with excellent local partners. The itinerary was well-designed, allowing for proper acclimatisation. The accommodation (including the tents at base camp) was very comfortable, and the food was truly outstanding. We would not hesitate to recommend this trip to others, and look forward to our next Explore adventure..

Great well thought out tour. Excellent guide who stayed with us the whole time and met the needs of the group. Local guides also excellent. Really had a feel for the real Morocco by the end of the tour. Drives also excellent and felt safe the whole time
