The service was excellent. The tour bus was clean, comfortable, and air conditioned. Very well maintained with an excellent driver. The service of all optional mini tours were excellent. The people, history, and culture was purely amazing. It's was excellent all around. Definitely would recommend the tour. Our tour director *Personal information removed by Feefo* was excellent, went above and beyond our every need. The coordination with all hotels, optional packages, and daily travel was nothing short of amazing. Well done Sir!

Great, great trip allowing you to truly see the "best of Morocco". Our your director, *Personal information removed by Feefo*, was the absolute best. Great, clean coach (with AC!) and plenty of room. If there can be any improvements, I would say: - the food, although tasty, was repetitive. The majority of the group could not bear to hear the word "tagine" again - we could have used more time in the Sahara. Since canal rides are prohibited, maybe a sand slide or something fun. Many travelers to Morocco share all these great pics of things to do in the Sahara and we sis not get that experience.

Best of Morocco was jammed packed with so much to see and learn. Our guide and driver was exceptional in getting the group to our destinations safely and timely. This trip was filled with culture and spending the night at the Sahara was an experience on its own. The Xaluca line of hotels were exceptional!!!

Service before the trip was marginal. More times than not the links did not work, online access was poor, and telephone contacts were not particularly helpful. Once the trip began the service was quite acceptable. I thought the itinerary was excellent, in that it was varied and well organized. I felt we were shown a good balance of the country.

Highly recommended. Excellent accommodation for the most part, good food to start each day. Great range of both included and options experiences. As good a snapshot of Spain and Portugal we could have hoped for.

The hotels used are really nice, much roomier than expected. The tour gives a good taste of what the country is like. From mountains to desert to city life. Familiarize yourself with Celsius temps if you use Fahrenheit temps. Also if your older there are lots of steps, you could easily miss one and fall.

Know you will ALWAYS be taken to an excellent hotel and that the provided meals will be great. You will be spoiled by the breakfast buffet options. Every hotel was slightly different in presentation and once you figure out the coffee machines you're set. The local entertainment was always fun and loud. The sites and events we were taken to were great. Unfortunately and unavoidably here are a lot of bus miles between them with little to see except desert. Our tour director did his best to fill this time with historic background, music and other entertainment. He made sure we had regular rest stops to stretch and get a bite. As usual our fellow travelers also provided various entertainments, and conversation that helped pass the time. I'm glad we made this trip, although it would have been better to have done it when we were younger.

Service is good. However due to delays with receiving my luggage the transfer vehicle did not wait amidst us telling the tour director that luggage is delayed. We were half an hour late. Visit cheffchouan/tangier/more time to shop whilst we visiting the souks, Medinah and markets. Too much tagine meals. The first night = arabian night and dinner not great Taken to places where we can do shopping for good stuff and at reasonable prices.

We saw the extensive and diverse natural beauty of Morocco, from the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, through the Atlas Mountains, to the Sahara. We had the chance to sample local culture and cuisine, and traveled aboard a comfortable coach with our expert tour director. The hotels - with the exception of Casablanca - were fabulous, quite luxurious and beautiful, with gardens and pools and lovely rooms. The pace was fast, but manageable.
