What are the options and costs for optional activities during the tour?

Optional activities and their costs in Moroccan Dirham include guided city tours, hammam spas, visiting significant mosques, dinners with entertainment, cooking classes, and outdoor activities like rock climbing and quad biking. Prices range from 80 DH to 590 DH depending on the activity.

What is the local currency in Morocco and can I withdraw it from ATMs or should I bring another currency?

The Moroccan Dirham is the local currency and it is a closed currency, meaning you cannot obtain it before you arrive. It is recommended to withdraw Dirhams from the ATMs available in major locations including airports once you arrive. Major places may accept other currencies like USD or EUR, but for smoother transactions, using Dirhams is suggested.

How much should I budget per day for additional expenses during the tour?

It's advisable to budget approximately $20-$30 USD per day for spending money. This will cover meals, souvenirs, and optional activities that aren't included in the tour price.

Can I start the tour on a different date?

You can begin the tour on any date that suits your schedule as we offer private tours that accommodate flexible starting dates subject to the availability of guides and hotel rooms.

In what currency should the tipping kitty be paid and can I use cards during the tour?

The tipping kitty can be paid in USD, but all other expenses should be handled in Moroccan Dirhams. Be aware that card acceptance can be limited, so carrying cash is preferable for smaller purchases.

We were a group of 9 in a minibus, we felt safe, we were taken to places that I would never have been able to go to without local knowledge of the area and people. Our guide Mustafa was very knowledgable and spoke good English. Our driver had a calm temperament and navigated the Atlas Mountains with skill, he was also very pleasant and musical and joined in the many dancing activities as well as played the tabla with the locals. I wish I had the time to stay longer in some of the beautiful places we stayed at. Planning to revisit with a group of family and friendsShow more

On reflection I would have picked a different tour that did not travel such long distances and that gave you lots of free time to explore areas by yourself - but I had a limited time frame and this tour ticked all the boxes. Many of the travellers fell ill due to the long bus trips on the small 17-seater bus. My back is still feeling the pain. We had 17 people on the tour and every seat was taken, and the bus completely at it's maximum load - including the very squashed luggage area. We did cover a lot of the country and saw some wonderful things - the Roman Ruins at Voubilis, the Todra Gorge and the Sahara desert area are amongst my favourite. Avoid the Berber camp in winter if you can. Two of the hotels on this tour were good, one average and the rest below average. Hotel Andalous in Marrakech kept ypou awake till 1 am with their loud disco. The guide was good and the driver, Ali was a patient man and an excellent driver. The tour needs to allow participants more free time to explore areas by themselves. Many of the local tours by the local tour guides were rushed and not pleasant. I suggest spending 3 extra days in Marrakech by yourself to check out the best restaurants, the newer areas and the night life. The tour tends to focus on the old and the historical, and misses out on the new and exciting features of Morocco. You end up with a distorted view of Morocco. The week-end shows at the Buddha Bar in Marrakech are a must-see - a class venue - 10/10. Obviously this is not on the tour package. The food on the tour was average and the Tour to the "Factories" are a bit of a take as you can buy the things they sell you at these places a lot cheaper elsewhere. Two restaurants in Marrakech that are worth visiting by yourself are El Fassia and the Nomad Restaurant. The best food I had whilst in Morocco.Show more
