Organizing Remarkable Journeys Since 2007

We organize amazing travel experiences. Our approach is simple but powerful. We know that you are traveling afar and you want a journey of a lifetime. That means you don't want to waste your time on a bus. This means you want to stay at great hotels at the heart of each city that you visit. This means that you want to have the best possible guides and the most logical transport connections between cities. And that's what we do.

We are different. We book the best hotels at the heart of each city and we arrange logistics of your trip so you travel on the most comfortable mode of transport between cities - in Europe this is usually trains or private drivers. With us, you have a choice to travel private or with a small group. Our small group tour is not a bus tour. It is like a private tour where few couples share a guide during the day program. And our private tours are just as good as the most expensive luxury tours, but better - they cost 2 times less.

How we compare: Luxury tours are very expensive because luxury travel companies buy tours from actual operators. In essence, you overpay for the brand names. Unlike them, we organize our tours ourselves. We with actual local suppliers, guides, drivers, rail companies, hotels. This is how we are able to bring you great rates and this is how we are able to control quality without asking you to pay for more it. Our typical tour costs $200 per day for small group and $300 per day for private.

Additional Information

What to Know

  • The best time to visit Morocco is spring or fall. Summers might get unbearably hot and winters can be chilly, especially in the mountains. When it comes to clothing, pack something light to wear during the daytime and remember to have something to cover up when visiting religious sights.
  • The official currency of Morocco is Dirham (MAD or Dhs). It can be purchased at any local currency exchange office for USD or EUR. ATMs in major cities are also in abundance and you can easily withdraw local money from your debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus, etc.). Cards are accepted widely, however if you're at a downtown bazaar, make sure to have some cash on you.
  • Tipping and bargaining is a quintessential part of Moroccan national charisma, lifestyle, and commerce. 5-10% tip is always appropriate.
