This is a fantastic trip and you are able to experience a variety of different portions of Morocco. The food was delicious and the home-cooked meal in Fez particularly stands out. The local guides are very good. My group leader, Samir, was extremely helpful in helping me get my luggage after it was delayed by the airline.

This trip should not be missed. Our leader, Samir gave us many insights into the beautiful Moroccan culture. His enthusiasm and genuine love of his country was wonderful to experience. This was my fourth Intrepid tour and it did not fail to fulfill my desire to learn about other cultures. Thank you.

Highly recommend the Premium Highlights tour of Morocco for a great way to experience Morocco in a small group. Met some wonderful people and saw some amazing places. First trip with Intrepid and enjoyed it tremendously!

Tara · Traveled November 2023
This was my first Intrepid trip. I’d booked premium because I like to feel comfortable travelling and it completely exceeded my expectations. I’m naturally a bit of a nervous traveller and I felt completely safe. If you enjoy culture and scenery this is the trip for you!
