Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2025Unfortunately, the tour you're looking at is part of our 18 to 35s range, which is age-restricted and only open to travelers within that age bracket.

Asked on May 23rd, 2025Is it possible to join the tour if we are over the age limit? I am 41 and my mom is 78 but very physically fit.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025
The tour is specifically designed for travelers aged 18 to 35. We cannot accept bookings from those outside this age range. However, we can help you find similar alternative tours that are suitable for all ages and visit the same regions.

Tracey
Asked on May 14th, 2025what is the main difference between the $750 price point and $2500/- price point tours? both are 12 days? The $750/- pricing states ages until 35 yrs... is this a recommendation or hard rule? We r 55 and 60 yrs active individuals.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025
Our Essential Morocco tour is an age restricted trip and all traveling booking on must be within the 18 - 35 age range. It is a basix trip which is more of a backpacking style and we typically stay in hostels to keep cost low. There are also not many meals or activities included which allows for more free time for travelers to do as they please. Depending on the itinerary you are looking at the main difference between the price would be better accommodations and more meals/activities included.

Kristina
Asked on May 14th, 2025Can I participate? It says age range 18-35. What is the average age range?

This particular trip is designed exclusively for travellers aged 18 to 35, so unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to accept participants outside of that age range. We do have plenty of other fantastic trips with no age restrictions that offer similar experiences.
