Morocco Tour Operators

We worked with Wild Morocco in 2019 and were very well cared for. My brother worked with them just last fall and also had a great trip.

Imprint Tours (started by a former Rick Steves guide) has tours to Morocco. I highly recommend them.

I did a 10-day private tour with Morocco family vacation company with my family recently, and we had a fantastic time. Even though it wasn't a "group" in the traditional sense, having a private driver and guide gave us a similar level of support but with much more flexibility.

I experienced a fantastic 13 day tour in Morocco in Nov 2024 with OAT, Overseas Adventure Travel. There were 14 people in our group. I think the group maximum is 17. Everyone in our group was very happy with guide and itinerary. Plus there is no single supplement charged by OAT for this and many of their tours. Check out their website for specifics.

Thank you everyone for the replies!

My pleasure, Jenifer! Happy to help. Have a wonderful time on your upcoming adventure !

Just got back from using Morocco Fabulous Travel and loved it so very much!

acher: Glad to see you used Morocco Fabulous Travel and had a good experience. Our was too. Was your guide by any chance Ismael?

@darren--no, we had a guide named Mustaphe, but I get the sense that most of their guides are great!

Hi,

For a small-group Morocco tour, I would recommend checking a few things before booking: recent reviews, whether the tour is private or shared, the quality of the riads/hotels, what type of desert camp is included, and whether local guides in Marrakech and Fes are part of the price.

A good 8–10 day route could be:
Marrakech – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Merzouga Desert – Fes – Chefchaouen – Casablanca or Tangier.

If you are travelling recently, also ask about driving times, as Morocco is beautiful but some routes can be long.

Happy to help with itinerary ideas for Morocco

I've been following this thread with great interest. We are mostly independent travelers, but we'd like to do Morocco with a tour. The trip I'm envisioning is February or March, a week or so on our own in Southern Spain and than 10-12 days in Morocco. I'd really like to see, Chefchaouen, in particular. I realize that its a geographic outlier, but I'm not really seeing tours that include it. Imprint does it, but the appear to do only one tour and in the fall.

Jules, the OAT Morocco tour has a 3-4 day Chefchaouen pre- or post- tour extension offered on many of their tour dats.

I recently signed up for the OAT Morocco trip in March 2027. Looking forward to it. As noted, they have pre or post tour extensions to see even more of Morocco, but I thought the base tour was sufficient (Rabat, Fez (plus Meknes and Volubulis), Atlas and Sahara, Marrakech, Casablanca). I had such a bad time in Tangier once that I and my companions turned around and went straight back to Spain, the only country I’ve disliked so much as to cut short a planned stay, but that was over 40 years ago, I was very young and inexperienced with travel, and it’s time to try it again with a good tour company.

I took the OAT trip in 2018 and it was very good. I notice that they now have two versions of this trip. The new trip is several days shorter. The longer trip offers a pre-trip extension to Chefchaouen and Tangier.

We just returned from the OAT Morocca Sahara Odyessy Tour. Our trip leader was fantastic and the accommodations were amazing. The trip was very experiential and less a collection of tourist destinations. It's a small group tour (no more than 16 people) and the only downside for us was that about half the participants were in their 80s which slowed the pace down a bit. If We learned that OAT attracts a much older clientele than Rick Steves Tours and they tend to be primarily women. The overall vibe is very different because of the different clientele so it's important to determine if this is right for you.

Can anyone comment on the Imprint and Gate 1 Morocco tours regarding typical clientele & vibes? I’m concerned about being the only solo traveler among couples.

My husband and I did the 15 day Moroccan Allure small group tour with Gate 1 last fall. There were 21 in our group and we melded really well. Ages varied from 40s to late 70s and everyone was well traveled. There was one solo traveler in the group and everyone was very welcoming. It was a great tour!

@daisy, I’ve been on two Imprint tours, one to Greece, one to Patagonia. There were solo travelers on both of these. In Greece, there were at least four solo women and in Patagonia several solo men. I think everyone was very welcoming to them. I’d say ages ranged from 50’s to 70’s on both of these trips. Most everyone could keep up a decent pace.
