Casablanca to Essaouira with Chefchaouen
Linda, CA, United States, Oct 2026
Due to record breaking flooding in Thailand, we had to scramble for alternate choices leaving in 3 days because time off could not be changed for my granddaughter. Our original tour operator did nothing but try to talk us into keeping our tour to Thailand despite reports that even Bangkok was in 4 feet of water. Enter a lucky search showing me On the read more Go Tours and in three days, Kaitlyn and her staff had us booked in our exact time frame to another place on the bucket list--Morocco! Thank goodness I booked fully refundable everything for the Thai trip because I lost nothing and we had a wonderful trip with OTGT.
We wanted extra time in different places - no problem. Kait and crew set us up after leaving main group with an independent guide. The two of us and a guide, who will work as much or as little as you want from them! We had a marvelous time seeing things I hadn't seen nine years ago on my last trip to Morocco. Our "private" guide (there were only two of us during our last 6 days) recommended wonderful restaurants where, after so much tajine, we found amazing Italian, Franch and even a "best burger"! Touring Chefchaoune (the blue city) was an unexpected highlight--and we were perfectly comfortable making our own way when we wanted, knowing our "private guide" was just a text way in the same area, if we needed him. This trip was the best of both worlds--guided with the wonderful Maraoune and blushing Zade our driver in the beginning, to almost on our own with our helpful scholar Omar in the end. We would both do it all again!

Highlights of Morocco
Ethan, ON, Canada, Sep 2026
I really enjoyed this trip and would recommend it. We covered an incredible amount of Morocco in a relatively short time. There were some long days and inevitable compromises that come with such a fast-paced itinerary, but I came away feeling like I’d seen a good amount of an incredible country.
Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive and humorous, read more and he was a big part of making the trip enjoyable. He was always happy to answer questions or help when someone needed something. The only thing I would suggest is establishing a clear meeting point at each destination in case anyone becomes separated from the group.
Generally, I thought the pacing was good. There were inevitably times when things felt rushed, but for the most part that was a reasonable trade-off for how much we were able to experience. The long drives were also handled well, with regular coffee and toilet breaks alongside unexpected stops at viewpoints and places such as rose and argan oil cooperatives. These broke up the journeys nicely and often added experiences I hadn’t expected from the itinerary.
The exception was Day 3, which I think needs some adjustment. We had less than 30 minutes to “see” Meknes, which simply wasn’t enough time to meaningfully experience the city. I would also have appreciated more time at Volubilis, which was one of the highlights of the trip. The picnic stop earlier that day also needs reconsidering. The location has apparently been badly damaged by a flash flood, leaving little shade or anywhere comfortable to sit. Our group generally agreed that we would have preferred to continue directly to Meknes and have lunch there instead.
One aspect of the trip I particularly enjoyed was the insight into Morocco’s traditional crafts and products. We saw silver-wire metalworking, ceramics, leather tanning, weaving and the production of rose and argan oils, among other things. Seeing how these products were made gave us a real appreciation for the work and skill involved.
Food was generally traditional Moroccan fare, with plenty of couscous, tagines and meat skewers, while the larger cities offered more variety. Hotel breakfasts tended to be basic but did the job. I’d definitely recommend bringing a bottle capable of filtering or purifying tap water.
The accommodation varied, but overall I was happy with it. At worst the hotels were basic but clean and comfortable, while at their best they felt authentic and genuinely memorable. The second hotel in particular was a very special place and felt like a “boutique village”.
The desert camp was much more comfortable than I expected but guests should be aware that the tents contain two rooms separated only by a fabric wall, offering little privacy. Several tents at our camp were completely empty, so it would make sense to spread guests out where capacity allows.
The minibus was comfortable considering how many hours we spent in it, with a good amount of legroom. The air conditioning did its best in the Moroccan heat, although it was noticeably more effective in some seats than others. We rotated seats throughout the trip, which kept things fair.
Overall, this was a memorable and rewarding way to experience Morocco. It’s a busy itinerary, but you still finish feeling like you’ve genuinely travelled through Morocco rather than simply visited it. If timed had allowed, I’d have preferred Explore’s longer Morocco itinerary, but this tour is a great option for those shorter on time.

Intrepid Morocco Highlights
Morocco Highlights
Katie, ON, Canada, Sep 2026
This was my first time traveling on a group tour, and was a great introduction to group travel! Intrepid truly checked all the boxes and put together an incredible itinerary that really encompassed Moroccan culture. Our local guide, Lahcen, was incredible. He showed us the local culture, shared his stories and experiences, and even arranged some exclusive read more experiences including a private after hours tour of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and henna tattoos for the whole group, done by local Berber woman in their home. He truly took this tour to the next level and made the trip such a memorable experience.
This itinerary is fast paced, with only one night at most accommodations, but this allowed us to see so many of the country’s highlights in just 10 days. Each hotel we stayed at was clean and comfortable, offering air conditioning and complimentary breakfast. While the breakfasts were simple, there was enough variety to leave us all satisfied. Some of the hotels also featured a swimming pool, which was a nice touch in the Moroccan heat.
We had an excellent group of 13 people on the tour, with a combination of solo travelers, and pairs. The whole group got along really well and this helped to enhance the experience. While optional, the whole group chose to eat all of our meals together, spend free time together, and even indulge in some carpool karaoke! While I was traveling in a pair for this trip, it did leave me with confidence that I would enjoy traveling solo with Intrepid in the future.
The itinerary also allowed us to experience a variety of transit options including a ride on a local train from Marrakech to Casablanca, local taxis, and a private vehicle and driver. Our driver throughout the trip was excellent and helped to make the experience. The van was spacious and comfortably accommodated our group of 13. We made frequent stops along the way which made the long drives feel shorter and more exciting. Some of the ‘comfort’ stops included cooperatives for argan oil, rose oil, and dates, panoramic viewpoints, and of course, plenty of food stops.
The highlight of the trip for most was a sunset camel ride on the sand dunes of the Sahara, followed by an evening in a desert camp filled with drumming, singing, dancing, stargazing, and a bonfire. It was unforgettable and definitely one of the moments that will stick with me most from the trip.
I am a vegetarian, and my travel partner is gluten free, so we were both a little nervous prior to the trip about what our food options would be like. However, our guide did an excellent job at ensuring we were both taken care of at every meal, and we never ran into any problems. Each restaurant and hotel was incredibly accommodating of our dietary restrictions and were prepared for our arrival with appropriate alternatives for us both. The food consisted of mostly tagines, couscous, and pastillas, all of which we enjoyed.
At the start of the tour, our guide discussed doing a group tipping kitty, which is something many Intrepid tours utilize. The tipping kitty was optional, although everyone in our group chose to participate. We each paid 500 MAD to our guide on the first day of the tour, which then covered our tips to local guides, cost of local taxis, luggage porters at the hotels, and bottled water throughout the tour. At the end of the trip, the money that had not been spent was returned to everyone. This made things much easier day to day and if given the choice on future trips, I would certainly participate in the tipping kitty again.
Overall, this was incredible intro to group travel. This itinerary allowed us to see as much of the culture, food, hospitality, and landscapes that we could fit into 10 days. Each day brought new excitement and highlights.

Intrepid Travel's itinerary for their 18 day Premium Tour is a mixture of - Intriguing cultural sights and activities, tremendous vistas, amazing varied accommodation and unexpected culinary delights all overseen by our very capable and organised Tour guide, Kahlid. Although we experienced unusually high temps due to a heat wave over Morocco (up to read more 47 degrees C ) we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Lifelong memories were created when Camel riding into the Sahara Desert. Highly recommended!

Global Journeys and in particular Tracey Standing were absolute consummate professionals in organizing our trip to Morocco. Everything ran smoothly and flawlessly from start to finish. Tracey's competence was only matched by her friendly outgoing nature and nothing was too much trouble.
Trip of a lifetime animal experience
Journeys: Southern Africa Safari Experience
Barry and Glenis, New Zealand, Aug 2026
An 18 day National Geographic tour of Africa included safari drives in 5 different reserves over 3 countries, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. We were thrilled to see the big five game animals but seeing all the animals in their natural environment was just amazing. Highlights were the elephant herds in Botswana and the multiple sightings of the read more big cats, lions and leopard. The smaller and more remote parks were best as there were fewer tourists and safari vehicles. Our guides were excellent and we learnt a lot about the environment and wildlife as well as the culture of the people living there in close proximity to nature.
