What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

What travelers are saying

"Our family's adventure with Touareg Trails was absolutely fantastic. From exciting buggy rides that had our kids thrilled to a delightful camel ride that enchanted them with the magic of the desert, every activity was tailored for family fun. The highlight was the unforgettable hot air balloon ride over Marrakech, providing us with a serene and breathtaking view of the city. The luxury camp in the desert was a hit with the entire family – warm hospitality, delicious traditional cuisine, and the rhythmic beats of Berber music created a magical atmosphere. Touareg Trails and their wonderful guide made sure every moment was kid-friendly, combining education about the culture with pure enjoyment. We highly recommend this family-friendly experience for an unforgettable adventure in Morocco. Thank you, Touareg Trails, for creating lasting memories for our family!"

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy?
