Sandra Hoover - Traveled, April 2025
Trafalgar has the very best tour guides and drivers. Their years of experience and knowledge of the country is very apparent . There are always issues that arise. This trip was no exception! Everything was handled professionally and carefully. This itinerary was an interesting educational immersion into Moroccan culture. From the large cities to the rural countryside to mountains and the Sahara, having the ability to see and speak with people was great. Our tour guide was so interesting and knowledgable ..answering all our questions. All of our hotels were beautiful. Each one with its own personality! The rides did not seem long as we were stopping to see sights on our journey. The night in the Sahara Desert was fantastic!!! Our 'tents' were so nice. It was so much more then I expected. The staff there was very accommodating. The food was outstanding. This was truly a trip to remember! I could not think of anything that could have been added to make this trip better.

Trafalgar are the easiest company to work with. This was a fast moving itinerary taking in the best Morocco had to offer. Our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was attentive and took care of all our needs. I'd recommend this trip for anyone who wants different experiences available. The night in Sahara was memorable.

The guide and driver was reallly good. But a was always clean. Grey boutique hotel wax disappointing. Our airport transfer at 4;00 am to arrive at the airport at 4:30 am for a 9:00 am flight was too early. 5:00 am was not given as an option would have been much better. You need to add as part of the the below question “ how likely would you recommend this Trafalgar trip to a friend”? My answer would be a 4. Too much bus time Not sure how to shorten the bus rides but at times it felt like all we did was ride a bus. I think we needed more 2 night stays and maybe skip some stops. Or make some of them optional. For instance the gorge,. it’s obviously a Morocco natural wonder but not really worth the stop as it was so crowded. The dessert experience was disappointing, should have had an option to drive an ATV or camel ride. The SUV ride thru dessert was not enjoyable. The clamping was really good except I smelt septic all night. Strong enough to wake me up several times while trying to sleep.

Very superficial. Tour Director kept things in schedule. The porters and transfers were good. Great tour Director and bus driver. Some local guides were good and others said nothing or rushed through. The food was fair. Not sure why every meal was essentially the same. Disappointed with the number of hours in the bus and only getting a minute to take pictures rather than actually going g inside. I feel for many sites a tour book gave me the same thing. Why go to a filming studio and not go in, but just stand outside and take a picture. Not in depth enough for me.

There were very long days of bus rides. Our director did fun things to entertain us: songs, a quiz, a movie. He was great. I have issues with the pre tripping: 1) bring a water bottle as we recycle,2) money info misleading 3)?we were told to print out all vouchers, but didn’t use any.

Every hotel the group stayed in had a problem. no towels, down to 1 elevator or ac hot working. In casablanca maybe a hotel near where tourists can walk to shopping center.

Enjoyed the Sahara, but found overall content very shopping, retail heavy focused. The ladies seemed to enjoy this but it wasn’t my thing.

We would recommend people to take the trip. Good service, they go out of their way to make the trip worthwhile. We really enjoyed the trip , the trip director went out of his way to make things smooth for everyone. He even took the time out to help my husband buy a luggage in between the farewell dinner. There were issues with hotels- issues with air conditioning and towels.
