Morocco Tours in Winter

We are on the old side for the holiday and did find it quite tiring but that is not Explore's fault. Our only criticism would be the way we were shown Marrakesh. The local guide was not good. I am sure the part of the tour showing us the soul could have been made much more interesting. Boubker was excellent and could not have done more for us.

This was our first experience with Explore and one of our first experiences doing group travel. Both exceed out expectations. The itinerary gave us an excellent mix of experiences and locations. Our guide was exceptional, providing excellent information, giving us choices where possible, and being very attentive to the group. The accommodations, while varied, were consistently good and tied to local businesses. We look forward to more tours with Explore in the future.

Despite the torrential rain in Fez and feeling very cold at times, I loved the format of the trip. Aman led us well & was informative, relevant and with a sense of humour who willingly answered all questions. Excellent tour guide, who adapted well to the group Interesting itinerary and saw many interesting places. Great culture and geography.

A very late review from an excellent trip. Aged 53 I have to say this has been one of the best holidays and travel experiences I have been fortunate enough to go on. Wife and son (11yrs) also loved it. The accommodation is what you expect from a proper travel experience. The culture naturally very welcoming. Lead Guide - totally outstanding. Next level customer care, great with all families, explained everything with passion and depth of knowledge. Never have we had that level of commitment, positivity and enthusiasm, day in and day out. The drivers are highly experienced, very charming and helpful. It has been a superb way to show a different side of life, culture and reality to our 11 year old. The experienced was soooo good, I have not stopped bleating about it to friends. Really embrace what the travel adventure is, practice some Arabic and you will come back with the same buzz that we did, with a hint of sadness as it was all over !! We have since booked another holiday with Explore. Extra that we wished we added, potentially an extra day and night in or around Morocco. One of the lovely families we joined on the adventure (4 families in total) went on and stayed at a beach location after with water park, one went on for extra cookery course and others for other adventures. We will return to Morocco for a long weekend. Easy destination to get to. I could go on, but all other reviews will cover similar points. Highly recommended. Our guide, Omar, truly outstanding. An absolute credit to Explore.

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.

I highly recommend this trip for anyone who loves Morocco and Moroccan culture. Our guide, Aman, was fantastic, very well organised and instrumental in creating a wonderful experience for the whole group. My only advice would be that if you travel in January, be sure to wrap up as north Morocco can be quite chilly. That said, despite the cold, a fabulous time was had by all.
