The trip was very well organized – and we’re thoroughly glad we went. However, the long line ups at (both) borders took up so much time – we felt like we were so rushed around the Medina. We would have loved a chance to meander more … instead we felt like we were running. Also, very disappointed to be “told” where to souvenir shop. We didn’t like anything there – but saw things we passed that we wanted to stop and look at but couldn’t. (Tour and group travel problems). The meal was great. Felt like the final natural pharmacy stop was to backfill the guides pocket. All that said – we had a very long – but lovely day in Morocco. Just all too rushed

I enjoyed this excursion a lot. It was well organised , excellent guides and very informative . We were shown the Medina , had an excellent lunch marrocoan style included in the price and It was simply smooth and enjoyable . Lots of time in the bus going from malaga to algeciras and from ceuta to tetuan but as I said the ferry ride and the guides were wonderful.I recommend this even if you are single as it was safe and caring .Thank you to the team for an excellent service

What a fabulous adventure!! Our Moroccan guide, Abdoul, created a cultural immersion in just one day. We traveled by comfortable bus to Algeciras and took the ferry to Ceutla. Where we were met by Abdoul with a second bus. He expertly guided us through the borders of Spain and Morocco. The drive down the Mediterranean coast of Morocco to Tetouan was beautiful. The driver took us into the heart of the city and we walked a few blocks to the Medina. What an experience as we were transported back in time for 100”s of years. Our group of 23 was treated to tastes of the market and a three course lunch. We had time for shopping and headed back to the return ferry. Ales from the Spanish side of the tour accompanied us, following the group to ensure that none of us were lost in the maze of streets and shops of the Medina. We highly recommend this tour.
