This was our first time doing an organized tour like this, and we were delighted in every way. Our guide Mohammed and our driver Rachid were both generous, enthusiastic and knowledgable advocates for their country. GAP Advenures provided a well-run operation. And our travel companions were all generous, fun individuals.

As for our impressions of Morocco, I think the western world could learn a thing or two about hospitality towards foreigners from the Arab/Berber culture. We were clearly tourists in every way, yet the locals we encountered were fun, kind, helpful and all around delightful individuals. We had a fantastic time.
