If this is the case, we will advise you as soon as we become aware of any such situation. We will do everything in our power to keep the tour as close to the original itinerary as possible. In some cases, however, we may be forced to cancel the tour for reasons beyond our control “force majeure”. If this is the case, you will be entitled to a full refund minus any costs already incurred by us. If we cancel a tour for any reason other than force majeure, you will receive a full refund from us.

Accommodations can vary in quality according to local standards in Morocco and should be judged accordingly. We will discuss with you the various options and ratings for accommodations. Hotels, riads, and guesthouses are booked according to availability. Your requests will be filled whenever possible. Where possible, we’ll inform you of a variety of choices, including upgrades requiring an additional fee.

Special Requests

Please inform us at the time of booking about any special requirements you may have such as dietary requirements, king-sized beds according to your height, and so on. We will do our best to meet these requirements as far as they are available in Morocco, but they cannot be guaranteed.

What Our Guests are Saying

“Highlighted are the amazing works of street art on the sides of apartment buildings in Casablanca and on more intimate walls in Asilah. A special option are the in-home cooking classes offered in Marrakesh. Ending one’s tour with a few days by the sea in Essaourira is perfect.”
