Stunning

The most fabulous fifteen days which was filled with sheer beauty, contrasting terrain, culture and the warmth of the people. All helped by the skill of a fantastic guide and driver. Each day brought another insight into the history and people of the area we were in; sometimes this was confronting but mostly this was in total appreciation of this unique country and its people and culture. A great learning experience - thank you.

Outstanding. Nomadic has designed a insightful tour where one could fully engage with a range of places and culture. Nomadic use local guides, thus provided a more personalised service and this enhanced the overall experience of being in the group. Of specific mention is our tour guide - very skilled at brining people together and keeping everything on track. Always touching base with the travellers and needless to say, most informative (and proud) of his country and people.

Nomadic Tours- Morocco Encompassed 15 Days

The 15day tour (with 17 participants) was exceptional, highlighting major cities and sites of interest and varying terrain from North to south and east to west. Pacing was good in and between sites and centres. What made the tour most exceptional was our tour guide Aissa. He had an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge, along with patience, kindness and concern for all and a dose of humour. You could not help to love this country, it’s history, ...

Pacing was good in and between sites and centres. What made the tour most exceptional was our tour guide Aissa. He had an amazing breadth and depth of knowledge, along with patience, kindness and concern for all and a dose of humour. You could not help to love this country, it’s history, culture and its people through him. Definite highlights : Volubilis Roman ruins, Chefchaouen and overnight in Sahara desert at sunset with a camel ride. Travel by van very comfortable and safe with our driver Moustaffa.

An Excellent 15 days in Morocco

We thoroughly enjoyed our 15 days in Morocco. The diversity of the dossier was excellent. We spent time in the major cities seeing their highlights, but, we also spent time in smaller towns, villages, countryside and historical sites. A personal highlight for me was an overnight in the Sahara with a camel ride to see the sunset. Our guide, Aissa was excellent pulling us all together with patience and compassion.

Good variety of sights

It was a very extensive tour of Morocco, covering a lot of interesting places. At most places it was just for one night stays, which enabled us to see a lot more. I had been lead to believe that it would be a small group of 16 or less, as it stated in my documents that the Maximum group size was 16, so when we were joined by an additional 10 people on the second day, making 25 in total, it was quite a surprise, and a disappointment.

Good operation

Nomadic Tours responded to this review on 25 Oct 2023:

Thank you for spending time writing a review Ian. Apologies that the 2nd van was not kept separate from your group. We will aim to operate this better should we ever have a double departure. Each group should run separately and they only happen a couple of times per year.
Aside from this, we are glad that you covered many interesting places on the Morocco Encompassed tour and that you found the holiday good overall.

Unexpected Morocco

I travel extensively both privately and by escorted tours and this was by far my most enjoyable. The Tour Guide, Younes was very knowledgeable and caring and made sure that all our questions and concerns were answered. We were on a 15 day all encompassing tour with a lot of traveling between different locations and it went like clockwork. Highly recommended.

Moroccan Smorgasborg

This tour took us to most of the Moroccan tourist destinations, and provided a broad smattering of diverse cultural engagements. Whether it was walking through the marketplace, visiting a mosque, sitting with a local family, learning how to create olive oil, learning to cook with local spices, or riding camels in the Sahara, the tour gave a very solid overview of the country. I really appreciated the tour's pace, and the guide's knowledge ...

Rating for tour operator:

Nomadic Tour employed a local guide who organized and stayed with the group throughout the complete trip. He had good relationships with the hotels and restaurants that ensured a predictable, quality experience. He initiated different conversations to widen our overall country impression, and promptly followed up on everyone's needs. The operator was responsive in responding to our inquiries prior to the tour, and everything flowed seamlessly and predictably

Nomadic Tours responded to this review on 26 Nov 2021:

We like your analogy 'smorgasborg.' You definitely do get a feel for Moroccan life over the 15 days and we try to give as much of an overview as possible in this time.
We are glad that the pace was manageable and the safety element was noticeable.
Thank you for choosing this tour to show some of what Morocco has to offer!

Nomadic Tours responded to this review on 26 Nov 2021:

Our guides work directly for Nomadic Tours and have been with us for many years now so do have that good relationship with hotels as you experienced.
We are pleased to hear everything ran smoothly on your Morocco Encompassed tour and hope you can pass on your stories to your nearest and dearest.
