Great experience in both my G tours so far

Very accessible, has a bit of everything, reasonably priced
10/17/2023
It is a lot of travelling with some stops/visits that were really unnecessary. And some lack of professionalism from the guide.
10/22/2023
Unprofessional guide and disorganized travel route, with modifications made at the last minute, unclearly communicated to travelers.
10/10/2023
I like to explore a country as a whole so personally I like to visit as much cities and towns as possible. I think it is a better way to explore and get to know the culture instead of staying in one place the whole time of the holiday like for a week in Agadir.
10/03/2023
I've been on a number of G tours, and I just love how the experience is always very local, you really get to experience local culture, but also the tours are fun and you get to meet lots of great people and do different cool activities
