Morocco Walking Tours

The trip was well described so we knew what to expect, the local guides were knowledgeable and were able to accomidate the range of abilities of the group. Beware that the description, "basic Berber village house" is an accurate one!

Loved the whole experience although it was a challenge to me. Was v grateful for the patience of the 2nd guide with me, the slow one always last. Impressed by the standard of meals in spite of v basic facilities. Also impressed that the flimsy looking tents at base camp actually kept us warm and withstood a significant storm. They were v good. I would have liked an even slower pace to allow time not just to recover breath, but to appreciate the views and take photos more frequently. I was sorry for the others’ disappointment that the summit could not be attempted due to dangerous wind conditions, but I was satisfied to have made it to base camp. We were grateful to Explore for flexibility that was required to accommodate us in Aremnd due to a necessary early descent (because of the poor weather). That last place was the nicest. Omar was an excellent guide. Both he and Jamal had a great sense of humour, they did their job well, usually there was v good communication at every stage, and they were totally accountable with the tips. The first night in Hotel Kennedy was not v promising, as the toilet was broken, initially there were no towels or soaps and the room just a bit dowdy, so we were pleasantly surprised that the rest of the expedition met all expectations and upon our return, the room we had was significantly nicer. We were glad we had booked 2 extra nights.

A very well-organised tour from beginning to end. Breakfast at most places had plenty of choice, and having some lunches and dinners included was excellent and made everything so convenient. We really appreciated the little extras along the way — things like the horse ride around the city, free time to explore, and stops at local shops known for their regional produce all added something special to the experience. The guides were incredibly informative and took great care of us, and by the end felt more like friends than guides. We made wonderful memories and would happily recommend this tour. A bit more information about the optional additional tours would have been helpful, as some were different than expected, and it would have been nice if tickets to certain sites, like the palaces in Sintra, were included.

An absolutely fantastic tour! Everything was so well organised, with great breakfast options at most places and some delicious lunches and dinners included — which made everything easy and stress-free. The guides were amazing: super knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and by the end felt like close friends. We had the best time, made unforgettable memories, and couldn’t recommend this tour more! Oumaima, our guide was wonderful — so knowledgeable, spoke English really well and always happy to answer our many questions. Most importantly, they truly cared about our safety and wellbeing, which made us feel relaxed and confident the whole time.

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 😕

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.
