    From beginning to end and the 12 days in between Trafalgar had every detail of the very busy touring schedule carefully planned. Instructions were repeated numerous times so there was no doubt when to meet for guided tour. Free time was given at each tour site after being guided, with instructions when to re group. touring was thorough main historic sights were included with trip package. There were numerous optional experiences averaging about $100 US each. Arriving at hotel late and very tired we DID NOT have to stand in line to get checked in, we were pre checked in. On arrival handed our keys and directly to room. End of trip transfer to airport was organized and stress free.

    Our tour was of Best of Morocco, 10 days. Our tour director was Mohammed Ben Sellam. Our experience was excellent. The tour director was very efficient and accommodating to our needs. On more than one occasion, he went above and beyond our expectations. The tour itself of Morocco was beautiful and educational. The hotels for the most part were very comfortable, the included lunches and dinners were delicious, and the local guides were very knowledgeable. We recommend this company highly.
