TESTIMONIALS FROM PAST MOROCCO TOURS:

Karen Uridel, Mentor, OH - "I enjoyed this trip. We had a wonderful tour guide. She took us to the best places to shop. The craft workshops were different and interesting. Pam Holland was interesting and creative. She showed us a different way of looking at things. The three cities we visited were so very different. It was an experience I won’t soon forget."

Lucy Lowry, Edgewood, WA - "Energy of the organizer is contagious."

Paula Bain, Kansas City, MO - "One of the best experiences of my life so far!"

Nancy J Chandler, Jensen Beach, FL - "Loved the cooking, embroidery and bead classes. They were certainly something I wouldn’t have access to if not on the tour. Liked the Rabat tour.It was nice to have the woman guide who really shared a lot about Morocco."

Diana Van Hise, Roanoke, VA - "Good tour."

Todd Vykouk, Lebanon, TN - "Trip was over and above expectations. Very well organized, fun people and the tour directors were very accommodating."

Donna Hillard, Kirkland, WA - "I enjoyed seeing some of the country, meeting people, trying the food. It gave me a sense of a proud country with friendly people. Everyone I talked with seemed glad that I had come. I enjoyed meeting the craftspeople and learning about them."

Annie Stevenot, Watsonville, CA - "This trip went beyond my expectations! It was wonderful! So carefully curated, and side tris were spectacular. Jim West was beyond delightful and fabulous. I am already signing up for another tour. The whole team was incredible from start to finish. I thought it would be good, but it was so heart filled and full of joy...I loved it!"

Sharon Coker, Napa, CA - "The trip was epic. I had high expectations but you have to see the colors, designs and crafts for yourself to really understand the wonderful culture. The people were genuine and welcoming and it was a reminder to me that in these stressful times, we aren’t countries, we’re people. The tour guide was excellent and added a number of surprises to the trip."

Ann McDevitt, Burlington, MA - "I had a wonderful time."

Emily Robertson Hood, Kirkland, WA - "Excellent local guide gave not only historical and factual insights to our visits, but was generous with her own experience and perspective on Morocco."

Diane Davies, Courtenay, British Columbia - “A delicious, rich tour of food, culture, and experience. Talks at our many stops about the cultural and historical significance of what we were experiencing greatly enhanced the trip. Excellent guides. Really appreciated that many of our stops enriched the lives of disadvantaged groups (women, disabled persons), while enriching our lives.”

Marsha Mowery, Fort Collins, CO - “Very interesting and encompassing.”

Lynn Carlton, Seattle, WA - “It was a wonderful trip. Our hostess, Holly was great. She did a good job of keeping track of everything. I enjoyed having the tours and then having the free time so I could go back and explore more on my own.”
