  Mixed Experience on the Porto to Marrakech Loop – Know What You’re Booking We recently completed the 18-day “Porto to Marrakech Loop” tour booked through TourRadar, operated by On the Go Tours, and ultimately subcontracted to VPT Tours in Spain. There’s a lot to like here, but travelers should go in with open eyes about what this tour really is. Language Clarity TourRadar advertised this as an English tour. On the Go said bilingual. In reality, the tour was heavily Spanish. VPT Tours is a Spanish company, and 90%+ of the guests were Spanish speakers. Sometimes we were the only English speakers. The guides were well-meaning but clearly geared toward Spanish customers. English explanations were often summaries or skipped. Group Size & Format The brochure mentioned “4–24 people,” but our group was often over 30 people, because multiple tours were combined. It wasn’t a cohesive group, and people joined/left in different cities. We had three different bus tour leaders across the 18 days. There was no Wi-Fi on the bus at any point, despite what was promised. Communication & Organization Communication needs work. Our handoff in Madrid consisted of a letter written entirely in Spanish, with no one available to clarify. We only learned the end-point hotel in Porto on Day 17. Some people were given WhatsApp contacts, others weren’t. Hotels This part exceeded expectations. Nearly all the hotels were excellent—clean, comfortable, and well located. Only negative was Sol Principe (Costa del Sol): rooms in the 3 main buildings are great, but if you're assigned to the back “family” building, it feels like a different (lower) hotel tier. Optional Excursions & Meals Highly recommend all Morocco excursions, especially the camel ride and Chez Ali show. Between two Flamenco options, choose the Granada caves show—much better atmosphere than Seville's. Be aware: water is not included with included meals, which feels stingy. Expect to spend a lot on optional excursions, drinks, and lunches. Morocco Experience Morocco was a highlight. The transitions (ferry, customs) were long and frustrating, but manageable. The local guide (Kareem) was excellent. Pro tip: do NOT drink the water or eat street food—everyone who did got sick. Included tours covered the key highlights and felt safe and well-managed. Downsides Madrid was just an overnight with no sightseeing. Long bus rides are frequent. Prepare for 6–8 hour travel days. The “included meals” varied from the brochure, so be flexible. The group dynamic can be hit or miss depending on who’s on your tour. Final Thoughts This tour packs in a lot and hits incredible locations. It’s a solid value, especially if you like structured travel and are OK with big groups and some logistical chaos. Just know this is a mass-market Spanish-run coach tour, not a boutique or English-first experience. We met great people, saw amazing places, and had mostly good support—but would have appreciated more transparency up front.Show more

  This tour is interesting, but a bit tiring as you do much in very little time. I loved spending 2 nights in Chefchaouen which is a truely magic place. Omar, our guide, was really great, he was very knowledgeable and helpful and he helped me with all of the extra stuff I wanted to do. Hotels are ok, especially if you enjoy boutique hotels with traditional settings. Restaurants were a hit and miss- some were absolutely amazing (like the one in Chefchaouen) and some not so good (mountain areas are not rich in restaurants). Overall, I am really glad a chose this tourShow more

  We had two very enthusiastic tour guides Inez (Spain) and Nabir(Morocco) and that made a difference in our tour! We managed to get around most of the heat wave problems that people were experiencing across Europe and lucked out with hotel near the ocean or with pools. I remember only two really hot days.. Toledo and one day visiting Roman ruins Morocco. Most of our longer walking tours in Morocco were in the evening and they were rather fun.Show more
