In order to plan a round trip tailored to your wishes, we first need some information from you. Please fill out our questionnaire. Then book a consultation call in Calendly. We will then design your trip and, after a brief feedback loop, we will ask you to pay a 25% deposit before we make all the final bookings. The remaining amount is then due one month before the trip.
In your arrival and departure cities, you will be on your own, except for a guided city tour, if applicable. Once the tour begins, the driver will, of course, be with you. However, he will not accompany you into the cities or on hikes. The professions of driver and guide are clearly separated in Morocco. So if you want to have a guide with you at all times, we will have to book one separately, which is very expensive and not really necessary. The drivers speak good English and, of course, know a lot about their country and are happy to share their knowledge.
If you are a woman travelling alone, you can also book Eva as a travel companion.
All tours include a car with driver and hotels (with breakfast, and dinner while on the road). If you book activities through us, these are also included.
Not included are flights, insurance, lunch, dinner in the bigger cities, and any activities you prefer to book yourself.
The trips start and end wherever you want, whether it’s Casablanca, Marrakesh, Fez or even smaller towns like Essaouira or Meknes. We recommend letting us organise everything for you from the moment you arrive at the airport. That way, you don’t have to worry about your transfer to the hotel, and we can get better prices for hotels and activities, not to mention that we know lots of great insider tips. But of course, you can also organise parts of your trip yourself and only book certain parts with us, such as the trip to the desert.
