Thanks to our amazing Tour Guide I had the most fabulous time in Morocco. The guide made us all feel so special and welcome. We were 8 in the group and together with the guide and driver our tourbus was full of enjoyment and curiosity and the guide answered all our questions with a smile. The itinerary is busy and we saw many beautifull sites. A good choice to join this tour.

Our 8 day tour of Morocco with Onthego was excellent, all positives no negatives. We saw so much of the Moroccan culture and countryside. Hard to choose a favourite but I loved Rabat, Chefchauean and the High Atlas mountains. I felt very safe and well looked after. But my highest praise is for Omar our guide. Omar is an outstanding human being. His grace and knowledge of his country is exceptional. He is a true asset to OnTheGo

Our tour guide was Abdefatah and the driver was Sulleiman. I was very impressed with Sulleiman. His driving style was calm and confident. Abdefatah did not always appear overly engaged with the tour.

Wow and wow again!! What an amazing country!! Loved every second of our trip!! Abdellatif Benaissa was our guide and Sulimane Bairha was our driver. We could not ask for a better combination. Abdul’s knowledge and love for his country was evident in his guiding and with a mostly female group (except for Glynn) he had his hands full. Not once did he loose his cool and everything was done with a smile. Abdul and Suliman’s friendliness was infectious and set the tone for the tour and made it an unforgettable experience. Morocco is a beautiful amazing country with surprises and magic around every corner. Chefchaouen and Rabat is a must see and I wish we could’ve spend more days exploring these mystical phenomenal cities. The Riad in Rabat was outstanding and gave us a true experience of being part of Morocco. The people of Morocco are kind hearted and friendly people and we always felt safe and welcome. This was a truly unforgettable experience and I would recommend everyone to experience it at least once.

I would recommend one day in the blue city instead of two. I also recommend that the group stays in the blue city instead of a hotel outside of the city. Several of the 5 of us on this tour recommend this. An extra day in Marrakesh would be nice. Its such a vibrant and beautiful city and so much to do. I wish I had stayed an extra day. Our guide and driver were professional and so helpful. They really went out of their way to make our trip a success. We also enjoyed our trip even more since there were only 5 ladies on this tour. Its really nice to have extra room in the van. We had one issue with the owner at the hotel outside of the blue city. The wifi wasn't working and he didn't seem to care. It wasn't a big deal except he would just shrug us off which was so annoying. I am easy going and I don't usually let stuff like this bother me when I travel. We didn't like his attitude at all.

Tour: Overall well-paced with a number of caveats. 1) Had two nights in Chefchaouen but the hotel was too far from the city and not convenient for sightseeing. 2) That was little free time allowed in Fes, better to update the website and remove "Tagine Making" from the description. 3) The Marrakech guided tour felt a little rushed and would prefer if a visit to El Badi Palance and Saadian Tombs was included. Guide: Disappointing. Not proactive in providing information or resolving issues. On several occasions I felt like we were left in the dark as to where to go/what to do.
