Best of Vietnam

From the initial booking to the end of our tour On the Go reps have been really great with communication and assisted us with every query we had. Our tour guide Hung Do was really great and helped our group connect and bond. He always went above and beyond to make our trip fun, special and easy. We loved how everything ran smoothly and we didn't need to worry, plan or over think too much. There was a good balance of siteseeing and activities. Personally I would've loved more local food experiences included in the tour but understand that the your caters to less adventurous palettes.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

Jamal was an exceptional tour guide!

Jamal was an exceptional tour guide! He went out of his way to make my first time in Morocco a whole lot of fun! He is full of knowledge, gave great advice and genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a great time. I arrived in Morocco a few days before the tour started, and he went out of his way to reach out and share some useful travel tips. Thanks Jamal for showing us around your beautiful country!

Totally Morocco Nov 23 - Perfectly organised

I did the Totally Morocco tour in Nov 2023 and there isn’t a single thing I could fault! Our tour guide was Jamal who took extremely good care of us and went above and beyond the call of duty to look after us! The entire trip was very well organised and went smoothly. Itinerary was packed yet we had a relaxed time and there is no way I could’ve done all the things we did by myself if I had planned it. Everyday all we needed to know was what time we’re meeting and the rest of the day was looked after. There were a few meals included and the choice of restaurants for those was excellent. The hotel options included luxury 5 star hotels or authentic Riads and Dars for a comfortable and complete Moroccan experience. Jamal was outstanding and I have been recommending the store to all my friends since I’ve been back.

ON THE GO TOURS NOT RESPONDING TO OUR REQUESTS

We have a credit of USD 880 being deposit paid to OnThe GoTours since we could not travel due to Covid ( being senior citizens). I have emails confirming they are holding our funds to that effect from them. I have now written three times to them to give us a Tour for China in October 2024 but to no avail. Kindly if they cannot offer us a tour for October 2024, they may as well refund our money. Our not being able to take the tour then was not noone's fault. There were restrictions for travel due to Covid.

Date of experience : October 31, 2023

We are sincerely sorry for our delayed response time which has resulted from the influx of enquiries about the current situation in Israel. Our Reservations Manager has confirmed that the team have been in touch to assist, and we appreciate your understanding in this regard.

Upper Egypt and Cairo Guides

Our upper Egypt tour guide, Dr. Mohamed Hosau, and our Cairo guide, Abdul, were excellent. Both were very helpful and knowledgeable which made our first visit to this country stress free and interesting.

Amazing Morocco

Our trip to Morocco was amazing! What an incredible country to visit! I especially loved the camel ride and camping in the Sahara, but would’ve liked a bit more free time/shopping time. Our guide Jamal was so knowledgeable and personable and incredibly caring & helpful when my daughter got sick. I really can’t thank him enough!

Vietnam and Cambodia

I really enjoyed the tour group and all of the guides. I think that changing the guides frequently is a little bit disadvantageous and perhaps you could look at having one guide go for most or all of the trip as it provides more consistency. I also wonder if, instead of going from Saigon through South Vietnam to Cantho overnight and back to Saigon ... if you go to Cantho and stay 2 nights then directly to Cambodia there would be less taxing and long bus trips and more time in South Vietnam. Otherwise a fabulous trip thank you!

Thank you so much for sending through your suggestions which will be passed to our Product Team for review.

Best of Morocco

Best of Morocco: What an incredible way to see the beauty of Morocco! This wouldn’t have been possible without our superb guide: Jamal. He was very friendly, helpful and informative. My only ‘negative’ feedback (if you can even call it that) is that the tipping culture in Morocco is big, which I didn’t really think to budget for…on top of the main tour price I probably spent an added £400 on tipping during the 13 days, you even have to tip each time you go to the loo whilst out and about, but this is to be expected in such a country. Not a bad word to say about the company, it was well organised and everything flowed beautifully. Thank you OTGT for a wonderful trip!

Many thanks for the feedback, and we hope to welcome you on holiday again soon!

13 day tour of Morocco - On the go Tours

I did the 13 day tour of Morocco with on the go Tours Feb 24. Tour guide Jamal was the best guide. He was not only our tour guide but our language teacher, history teacher and also a comedian. The tour group was the perfect size (9 in total ) and the vehicle and accommodation was comfortable. I would recommend this tour to anyone especially with Jamal.

We have just returned from a 9 day tour…

We have just returned from a 9 day tour of Egypt and had the most amazing time. We had personal guides for the whole trip who were personable and knowledgeable and really helped us appreciate the sites. We felt very safe in Egypt and all the arrangements made by On the Go were excellent and worked well.

Great Experience

Communication before the tour was just sufficient, excellent, organised and clear. As we arrived into Morocco everything was delivered smoothly and as promised/ advertised, including pick up, tour, hotel, meals. Our tour guide Omar was exceptional, one of a kind.

Beautiful Country Amazing Tour Guide

Japan is a beautiful country with such a variety of experiences from ancient temples, shrines other amazing cultural sites to amazing modern technology etc. Our tour guide Natsu Sun was amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations. I've done a lot of travel over the years but never had a guide as amazing as her. The inclusions in the Cherry Blossom tour were amazing. Seeing the Maiko performance and all the other activities, it was well worth the cost of the tour. I loved the combination of public transport and coaches and the scheduled activities were the perfect amount. It was my dream trip to see the Cherry Blossoms and Natsu Sun's beautiful outlook on life made it all the better.

Amazing trip to Egypt

I had a great time on the On the Go tour of Egypt. A lot of that is due to our tour guide, Momo, who is very knowledgeable, willing to answer questions, but also good at making sure the tour was fun. We saw a lot of amazing sights in 10 days, the pyramids, sphnix, Egyptian Museum, Philae Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's temple and more in 10 days and it never felt exhausting. I highly recommend this tour.

Couldn't fault a thing, fantastic tour

We went on a 9 day 'totally Morocco' tour, and well, what can i say, the tour was amazing from start to finish, we saw so much, and learnt so much. Our driver Sulliman was always on time, and always smiling. The main tour guide Hitcham was simply brilliant, his knowledge was excellent, and he went out of his way to make sure that everone on the tour was OK and looked after, putting small extras in at every spare moment like traditional food and extra viewpoint stops. A special mention to the funniest guide we had in Marrakech, Mustapha, who had us in stitches throughout the walking tour. All the costs were clearly explained in the tour itinerary and the whole experience was worth every penny. I would recommend this tour to ANYONE who loves a bit of exploration and culture.

We had a wonderful tour of Morocco led…

We had a wonderful tour of Morocco led by our excellent guide Jamal and driver Hossain. I asked a million questions and Jamal always had the answers and was very kind and thoughtful about how each day was structured. The independent city guides were also very good and we enjoyed the variety of accommodation on offer. There were some long days of driving before and after the night in the desert (which were well worth it for the Sahara experience!) but we always felt safe with Hossain driving: very careful and smooth. Jamal gave lots of interesting information on all our journeys which helped to pass the time. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore Morocco.

Highly recommended, we loved our holiday

Our family of four has recently been on the Classical Egypt and Nile tour. It was fabulous! On-the-Go Tours was friendly and efficient with bookings (including add-ons) beforehand. In Egypt, the whole tour was well organised with great attention to our enjoyment, safety and comfort. We were met at the airport and whisked through customs. Hotel check-ins and luggage transfers were smooth. The local tour guide was knowledgeable about the country's incredible history and helpful at all hours. He interpreted for us in pharmacies and souks, took us to backstreet restaurants offering local cuisine, and generally gave good recommendations. His network of contacts was amazing. A great overall experience.

BEST EGYPT TOUR

BEST EGYPT TOUR! They're well organized and deliver great quality in terms of accommodations and guide. I was a bit worried since it was my first solo international trip and I was going to Egypt, but everything went so smooth. I was very impressed with the entire tour, from landing in to the airport to departure, absolutely no complaints

Editoral Review of On The Go Tours

On the Go Tour is a British-based tour company that runs primarily guided tours around the world but will also help fashion independent travel itineraries. 

What Makes On the Go Tours Stand Out?

They have a large number of holiday styles, including a large number of options for independent travellers looking for tailor made trips. On the Go Tours is very accommodating and popular amongst solo and single travellers, with most of their escorted group tours requiring no single supplement.

Specialty tours, such as Tintin tours to Egypt, Jordan, and India, based on the adventures of the famous Belgian cartoon-book boy-journalist-explorer, are one of the main things that sets On the Go Tours apart.

Who Will Enjoy Travelling with On the Go Tours?

Those travellers who gravitate to busy, lively, itineraries, that also allow for spontaneity, and are budget conscious will love travelling on holidays with On the Go Tours. They are also very popular among those interested in festivals around the globe. These events are often large scale and can be difficult to navigate, find accommodation, and stay safe.

travelers enjoying camping overland On the Go Tours

On the Go Tours provides a way to take the stress out of planning to attend a festival. And not just music, but Carnival at Rio; the vibrant Holi Festival in India; the Dragon Boat Festival in China; the Nadaam Festival in Mongolia; and the Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea, along with many others. So if you are culturally curious and enjoy the idea of large crowds attending the same meaningful event, On the Go Tours would be a great place to start for these travel plans.

Lantern lights nighttime festival

Travellers with On the Go Tours are mostly age 28 and up, and you can expect a wide range of ages and backgrounds among the group. These holidays are relatively active in nature - a lot of walking and time outdoors, On the Go does offer some family itineraries suitable for children. They also actively solicit single travelers, and don’t require a single supplement. Nationality wise, they attract mainly British, New Zealand, Australian, North American, and South African.

Top Destinations

On the Go Tours operate around the world, with a large majority of holidays offered in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Australia, and Central and South America are also popular.

On the Go Tours Travel Style

Jeep on Safari On the Go Tours

The On the Go Tours travel style is a combination of coach travel, 3 to 4 star accommodation, some camping, walking and cycling. These tours will keep you active, and in most cases you will carry your own luggage, so pack light, and if you are relatively physically fit you will enjoy the days far more.

They have 5 “Holiday ranges” to help you determine the tour type that is going to be best suited to you.

1. Signature - The On the Go Tours Signature Collection is a group of higher end offerings. Accommodations will be in 4-5 star hotels, and groups are kept smaller, with a maximum of 24 people. Destinations are primarily focused in Asia, with a few departures in Europe including Iceland, Russia, and Italy. Peru is also available.

Thailand longboats and beach On the Go Tours

2. Budget - Budget tours are a key component of On the Go Tours. These trips are for active backpackpackers interested in meeting similar travelers in a larger group (max 32). You will be carrying your own luggage, and using a variety of transportation including overland vehicles, public buses and trains. Accommodation is in tented camps and 2-3 star hotels. Most meals are up to you and not included in the itinerary or base price.

3. Handpicked - These trips visit classic and iconic sights, utilizing locally run tours (where you might join up with other tour takers, not exclusively your own tour companions). Partners on the ground help On the Go craft a unique vision for your itinerary. Groups are small, around 28 people max.

Private meal in Morocco tours and holidays

4. Active - Active holidays with On the Go tours are intended for those travellers interested in being outdoors and have an adventurous frame of mind. Whether you’re traveling by bike, or on foot trekking or hiking. Travellers who are physically fit and used to stretching their limits will find the most enjoyment on an Active trip with On the Go Tours. Active holidays are offered in Asia and the Middle East primarily, with outings also available in Croatia, Turkey, and Africa.

5. Independent - For those travellers who aren’t as excited about a group tour and like the idea of being on their own but with a professionally planned itinerary, On the Go Tours has you covered! These bespoke tours allow you to have input over what you see, and the pace of your journey. Expect to pay a little bit more for this experience (bespoke tours with On the Go can be considered akin to their Signature Collection), but having the expertise behind your itinerary is all worth it.

Why Choose an Escorted Tour with On the Go Tours?

Angkor Wat sunrise On the Go Tours

On the Go is a perfect starting place for active travellers who maybe don’t know quite yet the kind of journey they’re looking for and want a lot of choice. Prices are kept in the low to mid budget range, and on most tours you can expect a lot of inclusions - this does means there is quite a bit less free time available during the itinerary to explore on your own, so if this matters a lot to you, On the Go may not be the best fit.

From tours that specialise in festivals and events (both obscure and popular, musical and cultural), to bespoke holidays designed for you personally, to extended overland journeys, On the Go Tours has tons of holiday types to choose from.

Young active traveler with On the Go Tours

Destinations cover a wide range of popular, classic, and off the beaten path locations from less traveled areas of Eastern Europe to the Middle East and Africa. The age range is diverse, and solo travelers are very welcome and actively encouraged to join On the Go Tours. This is a great tour company for meeting new people who have like-minded approaches to travel.

Travel Talk Tours Review: The Exotic Morocco Tour

Last updated: March 15, 2023 . Written by Laurence Norah - 13 Comments

We’ve explored a number of countries in partnership with Travel Talk Tours , including Turkey, Morocco and Egypt .

You can read about our Jewels of the Nile tour in Egypt here , and our tour of Turkey with Travel Talk Tours here .

In Morocco we did the Exotic Morocco tour with Travel Talk Tours, and this tour is all about our experience on that trip.

By the end of the post, we hope you’ll have an idea if this is the sort of tour for you.

In case you’ve not heard of them, Travel Talk Tours do excellent value group tours in a number of countries around the world, and it seemed like a fun and easy way to meet new people, experience new countries, and find exciting things to take pictures of.

Desert camp by night Morocco Travel talk sahara

The first trip we ever did with Travel Talk Tours was this tour of Morocco , titled “Exotic Morocco”. This was billed as the best way to experience the highlights of the country, from the medinas of Fez and Marrakech, to the beach of Essaouira, through to camping under the stars and camel riding in the Sahara desert.

That’s a lot to take in, and a lot of ground to cover, with the desert and wilderness parts being what I was most looking forward to.

So what was our experience with Travel Talk Tours in Morocco? Read on for our full review of our Travel Talk Tours Exotic Morocco tour! You can also see more photos from this tour (if there aren’t enough in this post!) in this photo essay I did.

Our 10 Day Exotic Morocco Tour Itinerary with Travel Talk Tours

This post outlines our experiences and review of our Travel Talk Tours Morocco Tour.

This was a 10 day Morocco tour, covering many of the highlights of Morocco over the 10 day itinerary. If you wanted to travel for a shorter time, Travel Talk have a number of Morocco tours on their website here .

Day 1: Marrakech

I’d actually spent eight days in Marrakech prior to the tour starting, so had fairly comprehensively visited all the sights. This was a good thing, but the first day was really just about meeting the rest of the group and having an evening briefing.

Our guide let us know how to get into the old city from our hotel (about 3km away), but no formal activities were arranged. If you are interested in sight-seeing in Marrakech, this excellent post has you covered .

Day 2: Drive to Desert Camp in Zagora

The adventures on the bus begin! You’re going to notice there’s a lot of time spent on the bus. On our tour, this was a comfortable bus that could seat around 22 people, and as there were only 16 of us, most people got two seats.

That’s not standard of course, but it did make the trip fairly comfortable.

Travel Talk Bus Morocco

Our trip took us from Marrakech to Zagora, a journey that required crossing the Atlas mountain range, which divides the country.

These are a gorgeous mountain range, and the drive through them was filled with jaw dropping scenery.

Atlas mountains and road Morocco

The tour stopped a few times on the way for bathroom / drink / snack breaks, and we had a longer stop for lunch.

Lunch stops on the tour were always optional, in that you didn’t have to go to the recommended restaurants, but everyone did because it was generally the easiest (and sometimes only) option!

Sunset in desert Morcco with moon

Finally, after a full day of driving, we got as far as the bus could go, and walked the last section to the desert camp as the sun was setting. Here we had a full meal, music by firelight, and tented accommodation under the stars.

In this case, the accommodation was fairly basic, with four beds per tent, although everything was clean and well maintained. The food was excellent, and we had a really nice evening with everyone.

Desert camp accommodation Sahara

Day 3: Camel Trekking and 4×4 adventures

The day started early – I wanted to catch the sunrise – so I was out of bed by 6am. Conveniently, a whole pile of camels were collected just behind the tents, which made for some photogenic scenes as the sun rose over the sand dunes.

Camels and riders in desert Morocco 3

Then, after breakfast, it was time for a two hour ride on a camel in the desert!

Girl on camel Morocco

I’m not going to lie, riding a camel isn’t exactly a comfortable affair. For the first ten minutes it was tremendous fun. Then you realise that the seat isn’t so comfortable (you try putting a seat on a hump), and you’re going to be stuck up here for another hour and fifty minutes, and it becomes more of an endurance test. Ok, so I may be exaggerating a little. It was definitely an experience.

Jess actually decided to walk her camel rather than ride it and just walked along with the guides and helped direct the camels which was perhaps the smarter idea.

But I am quite happy to now have ticked off “camel-riding” from my things I’ve done list, and plan not do it again…

From the camel riding we hopped into a collection of 4×4’s. I was particularly excited to be in a Toyota Landcruiser, which took me back to my year’s Australian exploration . Having an actual padded seat was also a bonus after two hours on a camel.

Our first stop was a village which makes pottery, and we had a nice tour of the pottery making, followed by the option to buy some pottery.

This was a really nice experience, and there was no hard sell at all, just the opportunity to buy some pottery if you wanted. It was really nice pottery, so a lot of folks invested in tagines and tableware, which were at quite reasonable prices.

Pottery village Morocco

Then, on again, this time, into the edge of the Sahara proper – hence the 4×4’s! We had a brief stop for lunch, which involved a large picnic rug under some palm trees, and then drove into the desert. If you’ve never ridden a jeep in the desert, you’re in for a treat, this is a load of fun as these vehicles show off what they can do in the sand.

Sand dunes and village Sahara Morocco

We stopped by a huge dune from where we had a gorgeous view of the sunset, before heading to another desert camp under the stars.

Jess in the Sahara Morocco

I very much preferred this second desert camp. Surrounded by huge dunes and with a gorgeously clear sky, it was perfect for star gazing and a spot of astrophotography. Plus, music and drinks by the campfire, not to be sniffed at!

Stars in motion over Morocco

Day 4: Onwards to Tinghir

After another early start (you can’t miss the opportunity to shoot a sunrise in the Sahara!), we had another decent breakfast and it was onwards to Tinghir.

If you look at a map of Morocco, you’ll notice that Tinghir is about a five hour drive from Mhamid, which is the town on the edge of the desert, and we were an hour and a half’s drive inside the desert. So, you guessed it, another full day on the bus.

Again, the scenery was pretty epic, and there were plenty of stops for photos, bathroom breaks, snacks and so on, so this wasn’t a problem.

Landscape near Todgha gorge Morocco

The highlights of this day (other than that gorgeous sunrise), was the trip up into Todgha gorge, a fantastic canyon in the eastern part of the High Atlas mountains, with walls that tower up to 160m on either side.

It’s very popular with hikers, and a really worthwhile place to visit.

Todgha gorge Morocco

Then, we drove into Tinghir and spent the night in a hotel with lovely panoramic views over the city as the sun set.

Day 5: To Fez!

Our fifth day was another day of driving. Morocco is a fairly well spread out country, so a lot of transportation seems inevitable.

The good news is that we had two nights scheduled in Fez, which meant a whole day of exploration was to come. In the meantime, it was a full day on the bus, enjoying the scenery of the Atlas mountains, again with lots of short breaks.

Village oasis Morocco

The highlight of this trip had to be the stop for the monkeys. I mean, who doesn’t like monkeys? (Sorry if you don’t like monkeys).

We paused for at least a half hour in a lovely wooded area where we watched monkeys of all sizes playing in the trees, swinging from branches, and generally having a good old monkey time.

Then, it was into Fez, where we checked into a lovely hotel, and had the option of an evening entertainment performance (extra fee). This involved a short bus trip into the centre of the city, and an evening of dinner and entertainment. This included music, belly dancers, and a magic show.

It was also very interactive, with everyone ending up on stage at some point. The food was tasty, and everyone had a great deal of fun.

Day 6: A Day in Fez

Fez is home to the oldest university in the world, and the old medieval market, or medina that makes up the heart of the old town centre, has roots reaching back to the 9th century.

So it was no wonder that it’s a UNESCO listed site , or that our tour would have us spending a full day here.

Narrow alleyways of Fez medina Morocco

This involved a guided tour of the medina which lasted a few hours, with a local guide.

We were led through the maze that is the medina (I would have been totally lost within moments on my own!), who showed us all sorts of interesting stalls where the locals come to do their shopping, as well as some of the highlights of the medina including that ancient university.

Pot maker Fez Morocco

Then it was on to the world famous tanneries of Fez. Unfortunately, these are under serious renovation, after countless centuries they were a little the worse for wear. So we got to see a construction site, and a video of what they should have looked like.

Having visited tanneries before, I wasn’t totally sad about this, because they smell awful when in operation! Still, I was a bit sad to miss the photography opportunity.

Then we were given the opportunity to buy from a local tannery, as well as from a local weavers. Again, these were generally fairly soft-sell locations without too much pressure to buy, the quality and prices were reasonable, and certainly plenty of souvenirs were bought by folks on the tour! Then it was back to the hotel and dinner at our leisure.

Day 7: Rabat and Casablanca

From Fez, it was another long drive, this time to the coast, with our destination being the city of Casablanca – made famous by the movie of the same name, even though none of said movie was actually filmed anywhere near Africa!

On the way we stopped for a tour of Rabat, which is the capital of Morocco and another World Heritage Site. Here we were taken for a tour with a local expert guide. This included a visit to the Hassan Tower, construction of which commenced in 1195 but which was never finished.

Hassan Tower Rabat Morocco

Then, it was on to the Andalusian Gardens , the ruins of the Roman city of Chellah , before we finished our tour wandering around the gorgeously colourful Kasbah of the Udayas – filled with lovely blue and white walls, intriguing doorways and tiny alleyways.

I think it’s fair to say we would all have been happy to spend more time in Rabat.

Doorway in rabat Morocco

Time, unfortunately, wasn’t on our side, as we had to head on down the coast to Casablanca, another long drive away. We took the scenic coastal route, and I did enjoy seeing the rural coastline, and how different it was from the mountainous and desert regions.

Finally, as evening was hoving into view, we arrived into Casablanca. Casablanca isn’t really as romantic as the movie made out , being largely a commercial port city, but it does have a impressive mosque.

The Hassan II Mosque isn’t particularly old (1993), but it is the largest mosque in Morocco, the seventh largest mosque in the world, and it has the highest minaret in the world, at 210m. It’s also a convertible, in that the interior roof retracts to open the interior to the sky. It’s a rather impressive building, to say the least.

We had an optional tour (fee) scheduled of it for the following morning, but as the light was so lovely, we had a chance to explore and wander a little as the sun set, where I was able to capture some jolly nice images.

Then, it was back to the hotel, dinner, and bed.

Day 8: Casablanca and Essaouira

Casablanca started with a morning tour of the Hassan II Mosque. Like the majority of the activities we did, this was also optional, but most people chose to do it.

It was very much worth it as the building is hugely impressive, and as I’d never been in a mosque before, I was intrigued to learn how they worked.

The guided tour was very interesting, and if you’re in Casablanca or on this trip with Travel Talk, I very much recommend making the time to do this.

Interior Hassan II Mosque Casablanca Morocco

Then, we left Casablanca, and headed down the coast to Essaouira, another pile of driving away. We stopped for a delicious sea food lunch on the way, and arrived as night was falling.

Seafood Morocco

The hotel was about a 20 minute walk outside the city centre, but some of the group still took advantage of our guide’s offer of a walking tour, and spend some of the evening exploring the medina and old city. I have to admit that Jess and I were tired, so gave that one a miss, opting to explore it the following morning on our own.

Day 9: Essaouira and Marrakech

Our last full day of tour started off with a relaxing free morning, which was nice. We opted to spend it wandering into Essaouira, filming location of one of my favourite TV shows .

After a twenty minute walk along the beach we arrived at the city walls, and I have to say, I instantly fell in love with this 18th century walled city. It just seemed like the perfect place to come and while away a few weeks, wandering the alleys, city walls and beach, whilst sampling some delicious Moroccan cuisine.

Essaouira citadel

Of course, we didn’t have time to spend a few weeks – just a few hours. We packed them full though – with a highlight being the visit to the Citadel – well worth the minimal entry fee for the views.

Circular hole wall Essaouira Morocco

Then, it was time to head back to the hotel, check out, and hop into the bus for the last journey of the tour – back to Marrakech!

We stopped on the way for a tour of an Argan oil production facility. Argan is an oil from a tree endemic to Morocco, and naturally is said to have all kinds of exciting properties. We didn’t buy anything, but it was interesting to see how the oil was produced and to meet the people making it.

Argan oil production tour Morocco

Then, the last leg of the journey took us back to Marrakech, where we checked into the hotel.

There was the option of a trip into the city centre that evening which we didn’t take, as we’d already spend a couple of weeks in Marrakech , and had a few more nights scheduled there before our trip to Egypt.

Day 10: the End!

Whew! Still with me? Not much to say about the final day – after breakfast everyone said their goodbyes, exchanged contact details (well, facebook friend requests) and headed on their way.

Travel Talk includes airport transfers, so trundled everyone who was leaving back to the airport.

A good few people had booked a couple of extra nights in town, which I would recommend doing as otherwise you won’t see much of Marrakech. I’d also advise booking a guesthouse in the old medina part of town rather than where the Travel Talk hotel is located, as otherwise you’ll be journeying back and forth by taxi the 4km or so each way.

In terms of accommodation recommendations, we stayed at a centrally located basic Riad for three weeks, and there are plenty of options to choose from in Marrakech at all price points.

So that was the tour in detail. Let’s go over my thoughts on our experience and see if this is the right experience for you.

Travel Talk Tours review: What was good about our Exotic Morocco Tour?

Covered a lot – As you can see from what we did, our ten day itinerary really packed in a lot. We saw everything from deserts to mountains to beaches, cultural highlights and adventure activities. It was a fantastic way to easily experience a lot of Morocco in a relatively short period of time.

Camel and berber in desert Morocco

Great people – A tour like this can be made or broken by the people on it. In our case (and on both our tours with Travel Talk in fact), we had lovely people, many of whom have become friends – in fact one will be visiting us in Scotland soon!

We had a lot of laughs and a lot of fun together on our ten day adventure, and I got the impression that Travel Talk tours tend to be like this as a rule rather than an exception.

Girls enjoying Moroccon landscape

Easy way to see the country – It’s obviously entirely possible to do a trip like this on your own, plan it all out yourself, go at your own pace and so on.

For a first time visit to Morocco though, this could be a bit of an overwhelming amount of work, and the Travel Talk tour removes all the hassle.

You see all the highlights, hang out with great people, have a lot of fun, and don’t have to worry about anything other than making the bus in the morning. Too easy.

Breakfast desert camp Morocco

Decent accommodation at the price – One thing that really impressed everyone on the tour was the quality of our accommodation.

Aimed firmly at the backpacker market, the hotels we stayed in were a far cry from the hostels that many were used to.

Sure, you’re not going to be staying in the Ritz, but the hotels were all nice three and four star properties with good beds, high cleanliness standards, private bathrooms and so on.

No-one on the tour had anything bad to say about the accommodation.

Hotel Marrakech Travel talk tours

Friendly, knowledgeable guides – Our guide Mustafa was very friendly and certainly knew a lot about the history of the country.

On those long bus rides, he’d often get up and chat to us about where we were driving, what we were seeing, and the history of the country. I have to confess, Jess paid more attention to this than me, I was happy to just let the scenery wash into me.

Travel talk guide and salesman Morocco

Value – Everyone we spoke to on the tour was very impressed by the value that the trip offered – we saw a lot, and as mentioned above, the accommodation was of a good standard.

It is worth mentioning that the sticker price on the website is not the final price. Like most tour companies, not all meals or activities are included in the price you pay prior to joining the tour.

Travel Talk certainly don’t hide this – it’s really obvious on their website what is and what isn’t included in each tour. Generally, you need to budget in entrance prices, some meals, any optional activities, and tips on top of the advertised price.

Camels and riders in desert Morocco

Each tour on the Travel Talk website has guidance for how much you might need to budget for these – see here for the Exotic Morocco example .

Then, also consider drinking water, alcohol, snacks, and gifts to come to a final budget.

I think the trips are excellent value for money, just make sure you do your sums first to be sure they are right for you!

Exotic Morocco Travel Talk Tours review: What wasn’t so great?

There are always going to be a few things that aren’t always ideal, although whether or not these are deal breakers for you entirely depends on your perspective. Personally none of the things I’m listing here were really issues for me, but I’m bringing them up so you’re aware:

WiFi access – There’s no WiFi on the bus, and the majority of the hotels we stayed at only offered WiFi in the lobbies. Usually this was fast enough for social media and e-mail, but I wouldn’t suggest you’d be streaming movies or uploading video.

In some cases, we couldn’t get it to work at all.  I expect over time this situation will evolve, but for now, be prepared not to be in constant contact with the world. Not a terrible thing really.

Star gazing Morocco and camels

Long bus rides – As you’ll have noticed from the overview of what we did, we spent a lot of time on the bus. Like, a LOT of time. The bus was comfortable, and the driver and roads were both excellent, so it never felt dangerous, but it did go on for a while on some days.

The plus point to this is that we saw a lot of Moroccan scenery, which was absolutely stunning, particularly in the High Atlas and Desert sections of the tour.

There were also lots of stops for photos (and to buy water / use the loo), as well as loads of information from our guide about what we were seeing.

Town in the atlas mounaints morocco

If you’re happy to gaze out of a bus window for hours on end, you’ll not have a problem with this. Otherwise, consider loading up your device with movies, bring a well stocked Kindle, or prepare to become best buddies with everyone on board!

Free time – We didn’t have a great deal of free time scheduled in to our trip, unless you opted out of some of the activities.

We did have plenty of time on the bus of course, but exploring on our own was a bit limited.

My advice would be to add on a day or two in Marrakech at the start or end of the trip if you want to see more the city, as the tour spends a minimal amount of time in the city, and there’s more than enough to do in Marrakech to fill a couple of days of sight-seeing and shopping.

If you’re looking for more ideas on what to do in Marrakech, check out this post from Jess, highlighting 12 must do’s in Marrakech !

Who’s going to be on a Travel Talk tour like this?

Morocco, being a Muslim country (if fairly liberal) isn’t known as exactly a party destination.

Our group was made up of 16 people (Travel Talk Tours can be up to 30 in size), with lots more women than men – there were three guys travelling with their girlfriends, including me, and then the rest of the group were either solo female travellers or groups of girlfriends. Ages ranged from mid-twenties to early thirties.

Evening dinner camp Morocco

Nationalities wise, there was a heavy skew towards Australian, with Travel Talk tours generally popular amongst Australians and New Zealanders – our guide confirming that the gender split, age range and nationalities in our tour were pretty standard for their Morocco trips.

So just know that you will probably be on a tour with a group of 20-something Australian women.

Tips for travelling in Morocco

Morocco is a safe country to travel in. The main issues are health, in terms of keeping an eye on what you eat and drink, and the occasionally aggressive nature of some of the vendors.

In the latter case, this might be from street performers demanding you pay them an extortionate amount for the photo you snapped of them or someone who offers you a tour of the tanneries, followed up by some aggressive tactics to make you part with your cash.

My advice would be to have some change available to pay vendors if you do decide to take photos, and to stick to only organised tours with a pre-agreed price for the activities.

Camels and herder in desert Morocco

You’ll be largely insulated from the hassle on the Travel Talk tour, although some of the shops that the tour visits do feature some fairly persistent vendors.

Just remember that they’re trying to make a living, and if you do want to buy, nearly every price is negotiable.

Traditional Moroccan grilled meats

For food and drink, similar rules apply to travelling in a good many countries – only drink bottled water, steer clear of salad and fruit that hasn’t been peeled, be wary of ice cubes (it might not be bottled water) and only eat food that is well cooked and served hot.

Check out this guidance for more info on staying healthy abroad.

Tagine Fez Morocco

Personally I didn’t get sick on the trip, but I travel a lot, and my stomach is pretty good at handling different types of food.

Many of the folks on our trip did get upset stomachs, diarrhea and the likes at some point in the tour, which is pretty much par for the course when travelling in areas like this.

Pack hand sanitiser and Imodium, or pop into a pharmacy when you’re in the country – there are plenty on hand, and they are more than used to handing over the right kind of pills to travellers in need!

If you go in the hotter months, stay hydrated, and be aware of the signs of dehydration – which can often manifest as food poisoning.

When’s the best time to visit Morocco?

Situated in North Africa, Morocco gets incredibly hot in the summer months (40C+), and quite cool in the Winter months, particularly at night and higher altitudes. There’s even skiing in the Winter.

Travel talk group member taking a picture

The best time to visit therefore is generally the Autumn and Spring time, when daytime temperatures are in the mid twenties, and it’s cool enough at night not to need to use air conditioning.

Pack layers as sometimes it can be a bit cool at night, especially in the desert and in the higher mountainous regions.

Is the Exotic Morocco tour of Morocco with Travel Talk Tours for you?

Of course, I can’t answer that exactly! Hopefully you’ve got an idea of whether or not it is based on the post above.

I would say that if you want to see a good amount of Morocco, have a safe and fun trip with good people that also happens to be great value, then yes.

Of course, if you’re not into group tours, this won’t be for you. Travel Talk also generally has an age range of 21 – 35 on their tours, although our guide said that they have had all ages, so if you’re young at heart this would work for you too!

One thing that did stand out as a positive was that many of the folks on the tour had been on Travel Talk tours before, and were planning to go on them again. Clearly the company is getting it right on their tours for their audience, which is a great sign.

Sand dune sahara Morocco

Finally, this wasn’t a “party” tour.Whilst alcohol was available at the hotels we were at, and stops were made to give us the option to purchase it (for example before heading into the desert), the long days, early starts and full schedule meant that whilst people might have had a beer or two (or some fine Moroccan wine!) in the evenings, there weren’t any late night party sessions.

Of course, this might vary based on your group, but again, indications from the guide were that this was very much the exception.

My friend and I will be traveling from Toronto to Morocco in mid-February. We are so glad we came across your post. This really helped us decide if we want to do the trip or not. With the recent travel advisory do you think it’s still safe to travel to Morocco ?

Laurence Norah says

31st December 2018 at 12:29 am

Hey Tharsi!

So, there are very often travel advisories in destinations. In our experience, whilst they serve a useful purpose, they tend to be fairly broad brush, so it’s just a question of what you personally feel comfortable with. Currently I would personally see no reason not to travel to Morocco, but I can’t of course promise you that it’s a safe destination – nowhere truly is (even home!). So it’s always a personal decision. I think it’s safe yes, no less safe than the majority of destinations around the world, but that’s just my thought.

Not sure if this helps, but I hope you have safe travels 🙂

Hello there!

Thank you so much for the blog post! Part of the reason I ended up booking was due to it. I leave in a few days and im very excited!

I was wondering if you had a rough budget/general idea of how much you spent while on the tour? I can’t seem to find one from Travel Talk, and I’m just trying to sort out how much I should bring. Just a rough estimate would be great!

Thanks again,

17th December 2018 at 4:04 pm

Hey Breanna!

Our pleasure! You’re going to have an awesome time 😀

So, your main expenses will be your Travel Talk local fees (the exact amount should be in your booking,/pre-departure info), money for entrance fees to each paid attraction or museum you wish to visit (the amount for each should be in pre-departure info), and any money for any optional activities you wish to do (options and prices should be provided, these are normally booked the day you arrive and meet your tour group and leader).

The rest of your budget would be money for meals that are not covered (meals are relatively inexpensive in Morocco , you can normally eat for 5 to 10 USD we’d say), extra money for snacks/souvenirs/gratuities/extras (many public toilets have an attendant/cleaner present that you should tip a small amount).

On one of the last days of the trip, the group will collect tips/gratuities for the driver and tour guide (this is recommended but optional, and you can give what you wish).

We did not spend a lot of money in Morocco but some of the people on our tour bought a lot of souvenirs, goods, snacks, etc., and you decide if you want to do optional activities or not so you do have quite a bit of control over your budget. We’d also add that near the start of the tour there were some stops so folks could stock up on drinks and so on, which is a good budget option.

I’d exchange your money in Marrakesh after you arrive, the tour staff can tell you the best place for rates. I’d keep cash on you as some shops/stalls may not accept credit cards. You can pay the local payment in GBP, EUR, USD or the local currency; however the Travel Talk website advises you to pay the local payment in GBP in order to avoid exchange rate differences at the destination 🙂

This website should give you a good idea of some of the average prices for things like food, groceries, coffee, and souvenirs in Morocco: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Marrakech?displayCurrency=MAD

Hopefully this helps! We’d also say that if you’re doing the desert night sleep over, to make sure to bring some warmer clothes as the desert can be cold at night, especially at this time of year 🙂

Have an awesome trip, and do pop by when you are done to let us know how it was!

Excellent Blog! very helpful … and the links were informative! My husband and I are going on the Exotic Morocco tour in July. We were wondering about when and where to get cash. Should we get a large sum at once? or smaller portions along the way? Also, does the dessert get cold at night in July? We want to pack light and just wondering about the best type of clothing to bring. Thanks for your help!

10th May 2018 at 8:54 am

We felt very safe on the tour so you should be fine to get a fair amount of cash, but the guides will tell you at the beginning of the tour as to your options for where you can withdraw cash so you can plan accordingly. We were there a little later in the year than July so it was a bit cool in the evenings, but the tents came with blankets. I have to confess I’m not sure exactly how cold it would be – I’m guessing not freezing, but possibly a bit cool, so maybe bring some warmer layers to be on the safe side. And do please pop back once you’re trip is done so I can update the post!

Mary Njenga says

11th March 2018 at 7:33 pm

Thanks ever so much for your detailed blog, it inspired me to sign up and I am now going solo trip next month. I have read many reviews that it helps to arrive a day or two ahead of the tour to explore Marrakesh. What would be your must-see places and what was your average budget per day? I plan on purchasing my first professional camera, what would be suited for Morocco as a beginner?

11th March 2018 at 8:59 pm

My pleasure, I’m sure you’re going to have an awesome time 😀 It definitely helps to arrive early if you want to see Marrakesh as the tour doesn’t include a lot of time for signtseeing. We’ve written a guide to our favourite things to do in Marrakech, which you can see here: https://independenttravelcats.com/12-things-to-do-in-marrakesh-morocco-marrakech/

In terms of budget, it’s not a very expensive place, I’d say you could easily get by on £20 – £40 a day.

For a camera, that’s quite a big question. I’m not sure exactly of your budget, but I’d probably recommend either a mirrorless camera like the Sony a6000 or the Fuji X-A5, or the Canon Rebel EOS 200D to get started. I’ve actually written a whole guide to picking a travel camera which might help, you can see that here:

https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/best-travel-camera/

If you read that and still have questions, I’m happy to help of course!

Happy travels!

16th February 2018 at 7:30 pm

Thank you very much for all the details included in this article. I have 2 big curiosities: did you go to Chefchaouen too? We’d be very interested in visiting it and I saw it mentioned on the website describing the tour. Also, did you pay full amount of the trip upon subscribing? Thanks much for your help and happy visiting:)

17th February 2018 at 8:35 pm

Hi Simona! The tour we did, titled Exotic Morocco, did not go to Chefchaouen, however, looking at the itinerary, this tour does seem to have been updated and now includes Chefchaouen. For the payment, Travel Talk splits the payment into two parts – one part that you pay up front, and one part that you pay locally when you arrive. This is made pretty clear when you book, and is listed as the tour price and the local payment. So you pay the tour price on booking, and the local payment on arrival. Hope this helps!

18th February 2018 at 7:07 am

Thank you very much for clarifying and for inspiring me to choose them for the Morocco tour!

19th February 2018 at 6:12 pm

My pleasure – have a great trip!
