I think the trip, overall, was a huge success. Everything went as planned. Having the north and the south of Morocco in our shedules was fabulous. I referred to that SO many times for details, using both the schedule by day and the pdf of the Final Itinerary. Both had different info that I needed to see.... I think Best of morocco tours did a great job of summarizing the itinerary & communicating to me throughout the trip. Pretty impressed with their support.... I really appreciated your communication with me during the trip, particularly getting the upgrade back for me.... I had an absolutely fabulous time. I was traveling alone but never felt alone. You did an amazing job, and I have already told people about you and your help. I will definitely visite Morocco again in the near future!Benoit467

This was my first visit to Morocco, and it was wonderful. We had a tour manager, an expert driver and local guides to take us round & show us the sites. The hotels and Riads where excellent, full of character, quiet & secluded. The itinerary from Tangier to Agadir was a great mix - Imperial sites, Sahara and some more recent cities. Some truly superb museums, and some more day-to-day places, such as Volubilis, all drawn together to provide a fascinating Roman mosaic. We visited good restaurants, where we were guided & encouraged to sample local specialities. There was free time for us to see some essential sites independently, and there was guidance on how to use the free time we had. All in all a great week. Best of Morocco Tours are a provider who take small groups on holidays that are primarily based on cultural sights, but also look to ensure that you enjoy each place as much as possible. You always stay in hotels with character, and eat the finest of local foods.Ibra_el_gout
