Don't miss Chefcaouen, most beautiful town in Morocco by far. I highly recommend the G Adventures tours through Morocco, I completed it last year.

Sorry, Intrepid Travel

And what are your thoughts about this travel agency and the trip itself?
Lidija
Yes I am currently looking into Intrepid. How many days did you go for & what did you think of the tour?
Sharron
It was great. If in Marrakech, you definitely need to stay inside medina. That is "Morocco". We were a group of 8 and with 8 we could actually customize a tour. Did everything and more!

Fez for sure.

Spent 3 weeks there last august travelling solo. Was pretty easy to get around. In Marrakesh booked a 3 day 2 night desert tour for 80€. Saw most of Morocco started in Tangier then to Chefchaoune fez agadir essaouira Marrakesh then the tour which covered the atlas mountains and the sahara desert. Also a day trip to ourika valley then to casablanca and ended my trip in rabat. Just be careful there are pickpockets in the train. Try to travel on the 1st class and theres security 2nd is to crowded

Intrepid or G Adventures. Small groups you will stay in locally owned and small independent hotels, etc that are clean and safe. Great trips. I've done over a dozen trips with them all over the world. Now I have friends on every continent - except Antarctica. Also environmentally as friendly as you can get.

I am looking to go to Morocco the last week in September with 2 girlfriends for about 13 days. Wondering if anybody can recommend a good tour group to book our trip with. Curious to hear what places are a must see while there or what were a highlight for you. Thank you for your replies in advance.
