- Brooke· March 8th, 2020The accommodation was average but to be expected due to the price of the tour. But the most disappointing was our tour guide Hamid. He never communicated properly so no one had a clue what was going on. Then he would go off at us when we did something wrong. He also got sick on tour which he thought would be a free ticket to not engage with the group. This left a negative taste throughout the group and prevented us from bonding. Which heavily effects the experience of Morrocco and the tour company. I have travelled on many tours so I know what is to be expected of a good tour company. Beware intrepid outsources this tour to a Morrocan company and I will never travel with intrepid again! Only positive I can add is the desert Camp was incredible highly recommended!Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Brooke, this is not the standard we expect of our local guides and would like to look into this immediately. Can you please email us at customerrelations@intrepidtravel.com with the details mentioned and your booking number?Trip date: September 2019

The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- T
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 2025Our 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?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025
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.
