View Itinerary

Throughout these tours you will be immersed in Berber and desert cultures mingling with modern ways of life, closely tied to ancient traditions. You will visit souks (markets), Imperial cities, stay in medina hotels, country auberge and riads. All transport by a very comfortable Toyota 4x4 Land Cruiser with driver, gasoil, and air conditioning. Tours leave and return to Marrakech and Fes, except the Best of Morocco (14 days), which has options departing from Marrakech, Fes or Casablanca. Tours must run with a minimum of two persons.

We use small, family run hotels, auberge and riads (ensuite + air con) that are of interest because of location, excellent food, and unique traditional architecture; similar to quiet village centered exotic B and B’s. Generally speaking the food in Morocco is excellent and reflects traditional cooking. We cater to vegetarians.

Praise for our Tours!

We have recently returned from our trip and wanted to let you know that we had a FANTASTIC time. The itinerary you put together was perfect and we felt that each day allowed us to learn more about the country and the culture of the people. In addition, each of the four drivers we had added a different dimension to our trip which we enjoyed greatly.

I apologize again for all the e-mails I had sent to you and would like to tell you once again how much I appreciate the time you put forth in promptly replying to them.

I have already done some advertising for Morocco Explored as I showed the Morocco photos from our camera to a woman who sat near me on the plane ride home from Lisbon then wrote down the website address for her since she expressed interest in a future trip to Morocco. Feel free to give our names to anyone who may ask for references as I would be more than happy to promote your company.
D Danbom, USA, 2008

Dear Robbin,

I just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful tour you organized for me and my parents back in January/February.

We had an amazing eight days traveling a circuit that went from Casablanca through Marrakech to the desert, to Fez and back to Casablanca. The highlights of our tour were many. But here are just a few:

• Staying with Maria and Mohammed in Marrakech was a real pleasure. They are a delightful couple who truly welcomed us into their beautiful home.

• The camel ride into the desert to watch the sunset was one of those once in a lifetime, take-your-breath-away experiences that should not be missed by anyone traveling through Morocco.

• Our guide in Fez was outstanding. He completely knew his stuff and had a real talent for keeping us entertained while being truly wise and informative. We learnt a lot from Tami in Fez…and not just about the history of the place…but about deeper things like faith, culture and politics and the like.

• And last, but definitely not least, is our driver Essalah. Essalah knows everybody in Morocco…is completely in control of every situation…and is totally cool! And his parking skills in Marrakech! You would think he was parking a mini not a whopping big 4 wheel drive! Essalah also added a bit of style to our trip with his wonderfully flamboyant attire. At some locations it felt like we were traveling with a rock star, with other tourists desperately trying to steal photos when he wasn’t looking! Essalah is very good at his job and he worked hard to make sure that our tour was a great experience from beginning to end. Our trip would not have been the same without him.

Thank you again Robbin. My parents and I had the trip of a lifetime with Morocco Explored and we continue to sing your praises to anyone who will listen.
A Cooper and her mum and dad, New Zealand, 2008


The tour as a whole was absolutely wonderful, fascinating, unbelievable! Folks in our small town in the southern U.S. cannot possible understand the magnitude of the fabulous sites, cultures, and people we experienced during our Morocco Explored tour. Our very busy itinerary allowed us to experience so much of Morocco and its' exceptional beauty and the amazing natural and ancient sites. Everywhere, the people seemed kind, unhurried and pleased to welcome us.

Your help and insight with our (7 day) itinerary was so correct. It was a lot of driving, but we wanted to see and do all we could during our Morocco visit. We felt we had an excellent overview of Morocco and the vast differences within: gorgeous coast, Sahara, desert areas, oasis, High Atlas mountains (some snow), Anti-Atlas scrub, farm land, Argon trees and surrounding area, Atlantic ports, busy cities and quaint kasbahs and villages.

THANKS for such a great, memorable vacation with grown children. Someday I hope to return to Morocco for an extended time in order to enjoy each beautiful area of this varied country.
R Richardson and family, USA, 2008

My significant other and I traveled to Morocco for 18 days, me for the first time, my SO is an old hand at this country. This is a trip I've been dying to go on for 15 years. I definitely wanted to do a camel trip to Erg Chebbi but we were having a devil of a time finding a tour we felt comfortable with -- that is, until I found Morocco Explored and spoke on the phone with Robbin Yager.

Not only did she encourage us to explore the trip in a different way than we were originally thinking, but she has continuously and graciously advised me about other plans, even though her company's services are not involved. I have changed our itinerary based on her recommendations and every one of them have turned out superb.

In particular, I want to thank her forever for convincing us to go to Essaouria rather than Agadir. She also suggested minimizing our time in Casablanca, which was spot on. By the way, Morocco is absolutely fabulous... I will probably come back again.
B White and SO, USA 2007

I have been home for less than 24 hours - I had to thank you one more time for creating such a memorable experience for us. I won't forget the places you've taken us, the people we encountered along the way, and the experience and knowledge you shared with us.

I had never done any kind of guided tour before this one, and there is absolutely no way that I could have organized and executed such a seamless trip on my own, where I felt safe and comfortable and well-fed at all times, where the transportation happened without any glitches and allowed us to experience the landscape we traveled through, where the accommodation was completely functional and beautiful and close to sights and amenities, without being generic and impersonal in the way that North American hotels can be. Your research has definitely paid off! I never felt as if we were part of something mundane and pre-packaged - for us, every day really was a new look at a different piece of fabric in the quilt of Moroccan life.

Morocco Explored offered a perfect mix of professionalism, flexibility, and personality, and I am glad that we traveled with you both. Robbin, your kind and gentle nature combined with Salah's enthusiasm and crazy sense of humor made you both excellent travel partners. Instead of some stuffy and formal experience, it felt like we were traveling with new friends who already knew the place intimately and could show us the best of what they had found, yet also allow us to see the realities of everyday life, which are not always picture-perfect.

I would happily travel with Morocco Explored again, and will be recommending Morocco as a travel destination to anyone who will listen. Your company as a wonderful way for people to introduce themselves to the country. I hope our paths will cross again, whether in Canada or Morocco.

Shukran Bezzef,
K Stremel, Canada 2007

We would like to let you know that we had a great trip with Morocco Explored... a very organized tour company and our trip itinerary ran smoothly. The four of us on the 5 days/4 nights desert tour were extremely pleased with your service and driver. All of us in our party were impressed with his excellent driving skills especially driving thru the Atlas Mountains region. We found our trip in the Land Cruiser very safe, relaxing and stress free. We enjoyed the music and entertainment.

You treated us... with respect and kindness. We all learned a lot in the five days. You were very accommodating when we wanted special stops or for having different lunches. You were very professional, listened to us and were fun to be with. It was a memorable trip.

After our five days of touring we were looking for a couple of days of R & R; you recommended Sidi Kaouki, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco. The hotel, dinners and beach were out of this world. It was everything you said it would be.

Thanks for making our trip to Morocco special. We would definitely use Morocco Explored again and highly recommend to others.
R Purdy and family, Canada 2007

On the whole, our trip was fantastic - thank you very much! The people we met were so very nice, and the scenery was unique and unlike anything we've seen before. Once I got used to the practice of haggling, that was fun too.

Although no one in my family speaks (much) French, Arabic or Berber, we had no trouble meeting and interacting with the locals - in fact it increased the charm of the trip.

Ouzoud - WOW!!! What an amazing place... the hotel was also fabulous. I think the sitting area on the second floor is my favorite place in Morocco. I could spend hours there just sitting looking into the valley and listening to the water fall. I really regret not spending 3 days in Ouzoud.

We got to Merzouga late (8 pm) after stopping at Essalah's house. His family was amazingly kind and at the end of the visit, I felt I had a new set of family. What tremendous people. When we left, I told Salah that it would be near impossible to top that experience. We started the camel trek late due to the long travel time and seeing the stars at night and the sun rise in the morning was exactly what I'd hoped.
J Zimmerman family, USA 2006

Had a wonderful time in Morocco. Thank you very much for your planning and advice. Time went so quickly but we seemed to do so much within the time we had there. Essalah kept us all amused and entertained for the 8 days, more so with his wit, and driving skills!!! Even talked him into sampling some vegemite!
L Taig and family, Australia 2006

Im just emailing to let you know that we had an amazing time in Morocco. The experience was more than we could have ever expected. Essalah was the best. He really kept the spirit alive in our group, and showed us a great time. The trip really wouldn't have been the same without him. We had alot of fun, and I'm really glad that we decided to book a tour with Morocco Explored. Thank you very much for an experience we will never forget.
