    I booked this trip as a birthday present to myself. I loved that we went all over Morocco. The hotels in Rabat, Tangier, and Marrakesh were great, along with the Kasbah stay and Desert camp. I was a bit disappointed with the hotel in Fes, as I think I got sick from breakfast the second day. The guides in Rabat and Tangier (both Abdul, I think) and our guides from Fes to Marrakech (Zouhir and Lahcine) were absolutely fantastic! Some in my group did feel hurried at times or pushed to the places where we could shop. We were a bit rushed in Marrakesh and didn't see the Tombs or Secret garden. I really appreciated the cultural aspects of learning about Morocco, the Kings and Dynasty's that ruled the country, and going to women's co-ops for carpet weaving and argan oil. Overall it was a trip I'll never forget and I'm grateful to have had the experience to learn about this country and the Moroccan and Berber people.

    Had a wonderful trip with great friends met over the world. Glad that Tour Radar organizes such trips, particularly for solo travelers. The downside is when ravelers hop on and off, and you get to miss each other when you click on so well. A thing that could improve is the condition of the coach and the guide. While our guide was friendly and nice, he could be more proactive to introduce the name of places along the way. Also, the mic on the coach was not working so he was not audible when he speaks. Checking in to some hotels takes too long. The hotel could have been more prepared before the group arrived. E.g. in Tangier and Fes. Overall, I did enjoy though some places were a bit short and some attractions were bypassed by the local guide. E.g. Missed American Legislation in Tangier. Majorelle Garden at Marrakesh was scheduled at noon as such most opted to go shopping at Jelma to avoid the crowd.

      Just want to get your advice on how to pack for the tour, like clothing and such. If there is anything else I need to bring?

    • Discover Morocco OperatorWritten February 2025

      As you pack, keep in mind that the weather is changing, so temperatures may vary—it can be hot during the day and cooler in the evenings. I recommend bringing a mix of lightweight clothing for warmer weather and layering options like a jacket or sweater for cooler moments. Also, do not forget comfortable walking shoes, any personal essentials, and a small day bag for convenience.
