Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    Nicely planned itinerary exploring all the essential highlights of Morocco: beautiful nature, amazing culture and tasty food; and the pacing of the road trips was also very manageable. Our tour guide Mustapha is a true gem in this trip - he answered all our questions, taught us local languages, and even arranged a surprise birthday cake for me! Definitely a trip to remember :)

    Had such a great time on this tour. Guide was awesome, and the whole group just clicked. The desert camping was amazing. Morocco is a beautiful country. I highly recommend this tour. The fact that it was targeted to my age group helped make it really fun.

    The accommodation was average but to be expected due to the price of the tour. But the most disappointing was our tour guide Hamid. He never communicated properly so no one had a clue what was going on. Then he would go off at us when we did something wrong. He also got sick on tour which he thought would be a free ticket to not engage with the group. This left a negative taste throughout the group and prevented us from bonding. Which heavily effects the experience of Morrocco and the tour company. I have travelled on many tours so I know what is to be expected of a good tour company. Beware intrepid outsources this tour to a Morrocan company and I will never travel with intrepid again! Only positive I can add is the desert Camp was incredible highly recommended!
