Morocco Journey was a whirlwind trip of a lifetime. From Fez, Volubilis to High Atlas and beyond, every day awoke our senses. Our CEO Aziz worked with local guides to provide in depth and local perspectives and conversations at each stop. Our driver Jamal was pleasant, timely, and above all safely navigated us through city traffic and mountain switch backs with ease. The choice of accommodation was also appreciated and as diverse as Morocco. The warmth, welcome and way-finding G Adventures offers I made our journey a most memorable one . Highly recommend.

G Adventures waited until we had arrived in Casablanca and cancelled the tour due to COVID on the same day we arrived. I understand about the urgency of the situation, but the failure to act BEFORE we left was irresponsible, especially when the message up the moment of cancellation was: “GO — Morocco needs your tourist dollars.”

Siad couldn’t do more. He met ever person’s need or request- and there were some very needy people on our tour. He was generous with his own time- denying no one. He was the perfect guide/ceo
