Is this trip right for you?
  • Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Fantastic trip, felt like we really saw the country and people and understood more than when we arrived. Well paced , accomodation was extremely good, friendly and comfortable. Very experienced and organised leader in Hassan, who communicated very well and took time to make sure we understood and answered any questions. Our driver Abdellah also excellent, patient and careful. Loved every bit of the trip

Our Intrepid Premium Highlights of Morocco tour was a fantastic experience. Our tour leader and all local guides were amazing, we learned so much about the history, people and culture of Morocco and visited a lot of fascinating places. The meals and accommodation were excellent and we were extremely well looked after throughout. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting Morocco.
