Excellent 15-day tour from Casablanca
We booked the 15-day Morocco tour, and it was precisely the experience we had been hoping for. We saw much of the country, crossing the Atlas Mountains and experiencing much of the Berber culture.
We were able to spend more time where we were interested and bypass other sites since our guide was highly knowledgeable about each of the stops we made and provided us with a variety of alternatives for halting spots.
Morocco 15 days Sahara and Beyond
This is about the 15-day tour, which included the day trip to the desert camp. (The site didn’t recognize the journey)
This tour covers just under 3000 Km around Morocco and looks at all aspects of Moroccan life. From Casablanca, finishing at Marrakech was a wonderful experience.
From dining with a local family in the country to visiting a children’s refuge-style facility—experiences one would find difficult to have when traveling alone—the Morocco tours’ philosophy of helping people get to know a country as well as see it was remarkable and offered some very unique experiences.
I can’t say enough good things about this expert guide, which was aided by Noureddine, the best tour we have ever had. Since we are in our late 60s, the tour wasn’t too demanding, and I would suggest it to anybody who want to visit a distinctive and secure Middle Eastern nation.
