Our Moroccan Allure Discovery tour was AMAZING from start to finish! We traveled with 14 of our friends. The six others that joined the small group said it was the BEST tour they had been on, ever! Larbi, our tour guide, was in one word GREAT. Larbi anticipated our ever need. He always went above and beyond so that we could have the best experiences ever! It was clear to us that he loves his country and his job sharing it with us! His knowledge of history and his willingness to answer every question helped us understand Morocco and its culture! Hassan, the driver, took us all around with great skill and care. Redone, the bus assistant, was most helpful, as well! My wife and I have traveled all over the world with and without tours! Gate 1 is the only way to go!

The trip to Morocco was superb! First of all, Larbi, our guide, was incredible in every way. He was efficient, sensitive to everyone’s needs, knowledgeable, fun, really thought of everything and anticipated all the possible issues that could arise on such a trip. The scenery was magnificent, the itinerary was perfect and the trip to the desert was memorable. Every day was filled with another delightful surprise. Loved being greeted with music, mint tea & cookies everywhere. The cultural experience and interpersonal aspect of getting to know Morocco was heartwarming and one we will truly keep with us forever.

We had a fabulous trip!! Our tour manager, Safi, was totally outstanding!!! He orchestrated each day to perfection and went well above and beyond to ensure that everyone was taken care of. Our tour of Morocco far exceeded our expectations. Discovery Tours did an amazing job and we hope to travel with you again soon.

It was obvious to all concerned that our tour director "Ham" was doing his life's passion. He was superb!!! And, the chemistry of the group was great as well. . .In June, I will be participating in my 6th Gate 1 Tour. So far, I really have no reason to change. . .Enjoyed my Moroccan adventure.

It was an experience of a lifetime. I will only book Signature tours from you in the future. I loved the seamlessness and ease of travel. Everything was covered by our wonderful tour guide, Larbi which let us enjoy the trip and not have to sweat the details. The accommodations were top notch, the food was great, and the sights and activities were out of this world. It exceeded my expectations.

The trip was great! My first group tour and i had no idea what to expect but the experience was very positive. It was a great value, the guides were informed and personable, the hotels were clean and nice. Can’t complain.
Kimberly S. Lumsden, SK, CA
The trip was beyond my expectations. Most of the people in the tour group indicated that had had misconceptions about Morocco just being a flat, arid land. The landscape was amazing. The people were warm and wonderful. The wealth of information provided by the tour guide, Amine, was fantastic. The selection of hotels was great. I am praising the trip to everyone who asks me about it.
Mary B. Redlands, CA
Great trip! Saw and did so much in a amazing and diverse country. Once again Gate1 gave us a superb itinery. Abdel was definitely one of the best if not the best tour managers we have had in our eight Gate 1 trips. We even had sunny skies everyday.

I must say, I had a great time. I’ve always solo traveled, mostly backpack style, in the past, so I wasn’t sure how the tour would go. I loved it! Ham, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful (as were all of our tour guides) and we made some great friends on the tour. And, my boyfriend and I absolutely loved Morocco! We would definitely like to go back and re-visit some of the places we went to and explore new places as well!

It was amazing thanks to our wonderful guide Abdelkader. Beautiful country, so diverse, environmentally, culturally and ethnicity. The guide was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make us all comfortable and happy. This is my 8th time traveling with Gate One and this guide outshined every other guide I had.
Claude B. Montrose, CA
I’m still in awe of what I saw each day. I learned so much about Morocco and the culture. It was truly a humbling experience for me. The trip and excursions exceeded my expectations. Everyone in our group had nothing but high praise for Gate 1 and our tour guides. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Gate 1 travel for future vacations! Thanks again Gate 1.

The trip was outstanding!! Safi was THE best!! The whole experience went beyond our highest expectations.
Corinne V. Mount Juliet, TN
The whole trip was amazing. Some of the delay caused by the weather was not under control and was not any major inconvenience. Hotels and food were fantastic. Trips we booked were great and very educational. All pictures we took, total of about 2000, show the beauty of Morocco. But, the most important and valuable part of the trip, was out tour guide Ali (Abdelali Lakhdimi). His knowledge, kindness, and overall management were above the average and highly appreciated. It was additional treat in whole package from Gate1. Again, we miss already everything about the trip and truly thank you for putting it together like this.
Maciej W. Riverwoods, IL
Our trip was FANTASTIC. Our group was fun with lots of like minded people and our guide, Abdul, was knowledgeable, fun and very conscientious. Morocco was so much more than we expected and the tour ensured that we were comfortable and well cared for all the way. Thanks for another great Gate 1 trip.
Andrea W. Orillia, ON, CA
The trip was amazing! We covered so much history and saw so much. Our tour guide, Hassan, was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure questions were answered and needs met. The accommodations and food provided by the tour surpassed my expectations. I would recommend Gate 1 to my friends and family and look forward to another trip with you.
Kristen N. River Falls, WI
I had a great time in Morocco!! Fantastic trip!! Our guide Hassan was incredible. I would recommend him to anyone who is going to Morocco with Gate 1 in the future. This was my 7th trip with Gate 1 and I plan to continue to travel with you all.
Gray R. Atlanta, GA
It was fantastic. My husband and I loved it and it surpassed all of our expectations. But the best of all, beyond the wonders of Morroco, was Hassan, our tour guide. He was not only well informed, culturally, historically and socially, but he attended to each and everyone of our small group with caring attention, making sure that we were receiving all the comforts possible during challenging situations. He rounded out our Morroco experience to “perfect”.

I have taken many trips with Gate 1 over the years and usually do a great deal of research about the the places and sights to be seen. This trip to Morocco I did not have time due to my work schedule to do that. I always have high expectations of Gate 1 but but this trip so far exceeded my expectations that I was actually glad that I had not done the research. Thanks to our guide Brahim I am convinced that of all my escorted travels this trip to Morocco was by far the very best. I was truly amazed and surprised at every turn on the trip and thanks to Brahim's knowledge, historical perspective, pride in his country and its accomplishments, language and cultural skills and above all his wonderful sense of humor, Morocco and Brahim will be forever in my memory as one of the best travel experiences in my life. I was ready to move to Morocco after spending two weeks with Brahim. I know that Gate 1 and Morocco have a national treasure in Brahim Aghraz and Gate 1, the King, Morocco and the Berner people should be very proud to have someone like him to introduce Morocco to the world. I have been back home in Canada for a while but I still miss my daily dose of Brahim BLA-BLA. Thanks Gate 1 and Brahim for another wonderful trip.

Trip was great, Hesham our guide was fantastic and helpful, other travelers were great to be with, we all got along famously which made the experience all the more enjoyable.
Arthur S. Kipparing, QLD
Trip was outstanding! Accommodations, food, tours, and especially our guide Khalid, he took care of everything, provided great information about the culture and history of the country, food and people of Morocco. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a different culture to learn about.
Frederick M. Stockton, CA
The trip was fabulous, Morocco was beautiful, loved the itinerary, especially the camel ride and our time in Agradir. Our group consisted of very nice and friendly people, our bus driver and bus attendant were great and Larbi was fabulous, he is a great tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, fun, extreme attention to detail and very helpful.
Connie H. Wellington, FL
Our trip was fantastic. I was so very impressed that all the details of travel were taken into account. We were kept well informed of what we were going to be seeing, the timing of stops, the meals that were going to be provided, tips on independent sight seeing, wifi codes, and absolutely everything. Some travel days started early so that we would be able to see a sunset from a great vantage point, others a little later to give a chance to recuperate. We learned some things about the country, the people, the government, and certainly the history. Our tour manager Ibrahim was superb.
Daniel Stephen P. Newton, MA
The Gate 1 experience was absolutely fantastic! We were well cared for by Gate 1 representatives from the moment we exited the airport in Casablanca the day we arrived until we reached the airport security area the day we flew home. We loved all of our city guides and Ibrahim Aghraz, our national guide, is hands-down the best guide we've ever had. He was unfailingly warm, kind and patient, full of fun and has such a deep knowledge of and passion for his country. His love for people and for his job comes through in his every word and his ability to shepherd his group in such a caring way is just exceptional. Herding 38 people through Morocco is no easy task, I'm sure, but Ibrahim made it look effortless. I'm sure I can speak for all 38 of us when I say that we adored him. Thank you, Gate 1, for putting together such an amazing tour and for hiring such amazing people! We will definitely be booking with you again and will be happy to recommend Gate 1 to all our friends and family.
Laura H. Walnut, CA
Our trip was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about our tour manager Safi. He was so welcoming and knowledgeable. He was not only an excellent guide when leading tours, but also gave us great information that allowed us to explore on our own. Morocco was an incredible experience unlike any other country I have visited. As always, Gate 1 delivers an amazing vacation experience.
Amanda W. Hampstead, NC
I have nothing but good experience to say during this whole trip. The itinerary, hotels, guide, bus driver and assistant were all excellent. We were group of 9 family members and all of us felt good about this trip. Welcome dinner ,optional excursions and places we stopped for lunch and dinner were great. The credit for this trip was mainly successful goes to Mohhamed our guide through out. He is very knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, calm and punctual with all passengers in the bus. I would certainly take Gate 1 tour again as I have travelled and compared with other travel companies, Gate 1 stands out much better than others.
Jagdish G. Ontario, Canada
We had a great trip. We had a fabulous tour manager, assistant and driver who took very good care of us. Our second venture with Gate 1 was another very positive one and we look forward with future travels with Gate 1! So, thank you so much for helping us organize this trip.
Charanjit S. Bloomfield, MI
The trip was AWESOME! I came a away with a love for the country of Morocco and a love for the people. Our guide, Mohamed, was phenomenal. Everything we did was great. The hotels were all well located. I have already recommended Gate 1 to several people and I look forward to booking my next trip.
Pauline A. Berwyn, PA
The trip was incredible! I had a wonderful, unforgettable time. Rashid, Abdel and assistant Rashid were terrific. You have some valuable employees without a doubt. Director Rashid was exemplary and went the extra mile on all accounts. I will definitely book through Gate 1 when I book my future travels. Thank you very much.
Cari S. Fort Worth, TX
Our vacation was amazing!! So happy that we chose Gate 1. Our tour manager in Morocco, Larbi, was personable and fun as well as very knowledgeable and so helpful. The accommodations were super and the coach was comfortable. I think all of the optional tours were a great deal for the cost. Will definitely travel with Gate 1 again! Thanks!
Rachel S. New Prt Rchy, FL
Great trip. Loved Morocco. Our tour manager, Ham, was so knowledgable. Liked the pace, always doing something.
Elaine M. Los Lunas, NM
The trip to Morocco was so much more than a vacation. It was an adventure of a life time. It is a beautiful land of constant contrast populated by beautiful people and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of this. Kudos to Gate 1 for planning such an amazing trip. The hotels were lovely -- much more than I anticipated and each meal was a delightful feast. Our tour guide Mohammad was brilliant, funny, professional and couldn't have been more helpful. No detail was left unattended. He went so far as to book our room close to our travel companions. The bus driver and his assistant were courteous and pleasant. We were able to relax and enjoy the journey. And what a journey -- thank you for planning such an amazing trip -- souks, palaces, dinners, the High Atlas Mountains, the canyon, lunch in an aromatic garden and the desert, camel rides and witnessing a sunset in the Sahara, followed by travel along a magical coast to a final farewell feast. Memories and friendships were made. Since then it has been a pleasure reliving the trip as I tell friends and family about the experience. I believe as a result there are more customers in your future! This was my first with Gate 1 but I am already looking forward to the next journey.
Kathleen B. Wshngtn Xing, PA
Morocco was great! Rashid was a WONDERFUL, PATIENT, KIND and vey knowledgable tour manager. Mr. Hibib, our driver, was fantastic, careful and very patient. This was a vacation that will likely change the way I think about Islamic countries....at least Morocco. What a delight to see the Medina at Fez!
Patricia T. Beaufort, NC
This wasn't my first time traveling with Gate 1, and based on my previous great experiences I had high hopes and expectations. Ibrahim, our tour guide, made Morocco trip an absolutely incredible experience! The itinerary was phenomenal, and carefully planned out that we were able to see so much and never feel rushed. Ibrahim was excellent at telling us the Moroccan history and enduring me were comfortable and happy every portion of the trip. My personal favorite was Marrakesh. I would go back in a heartbeat and extend the greatest amount of gratitude to our guide and driver for the fabulous trip and memories that will last forever.
Ludmila H. Napa, CA
We had a fantastic trip to Morocco. The balance between planned activities and free time was perfect for our travel style. We felt we really got to see everything we wanted to see in each city we visited. Our tour manager, Rachid, was absolutely fabulous. His knowledge really brought our trip to another level. We also appreciated our tour manager trainee, Hassan. He brought another level of expertise to our experiences that we really valued. Overall, the trip was a great value and we feel like we got so much more than what we paid for. We can't wait to be able to take another Gate 1 trip.
Krista Z. Albany, NY
I had a GREAT time! Was with such lovely people, some that I will be in contact with for future travel! Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Mary B. Alpine, NY
Morocco was absolutely amazing. Everyday was a complete surprise. When I went to India last year it was all I expected. The colour, the smells, the poor, The rubbish in the street, the food, the Taj, and so on. Well Morocco was different. I had no idea it was a hidden gem. And our guide, Mohammed was just beautiful. His knowledge, his empathy and company was so much appreciated. As a single traveller I was so comfortable. Not to mention our driver, Abraham was brilliant. How he gets that big bus round the Atlas Mountains I have no idea. Big kudos to him. Our assistant Abdul was always there to help and support. Congrats to him. His wife delivered twin boys as we arrived in Marrakech. And he was back on board next day. Amazing. As you know I am a big fan of Gate 1 with South Africa coming up next month and then Scandinavia in August. Most of my fellow passengers were return clients. Excellent accommodation, great food, very impressive local guides, comfortable bus and the "comfort stops" were also excellent and well placed. So important. A lot of work must go on behind the scenes to make things go so like clockwork. Much appreciated. And that bus appears "like magic" after we have been sightseeing.
Susan K. QLD, Australia
The trip was amazing!!!!! What a wonderful experience, beautiful country with a very rich history and culture! Thank you and to Gate 1 Travel for the excellent guide Mohammad, the bus driver and for all the organizing details of this trip. We're looking forward to joining again other trips.
Jacob A. Ontario, Canada
We had a fantastic time. Morocco is magical. Our guide, Khalid, is great. He is attentive, very knowledgeable about Morocco and funny. This was our second trip with Gate 1 and we are satisfied with the sites visited, tour managers, hotel arrangement and the booking experience. Great job.
Sandra C. Ontario, Canada
It was a great trip- my wife and I enjoyed every minute of it. Gate 1 employees did an excellent job keeping all of the tour group engaged and helped us whenever we had a question or needed direction. Thank you Gate 1, we will be back for another trip and recommend you to friends.
Frank N. Cato, NY
My trip was fantastic. The tour guy Mohammad was wonderful.... super super sweet , always making sure we have the best!!! Thank you so much Gate 1.
Vera V. Los Angeles, CA
My trip was fantastic. So well organised, comfortable, informative and such vale for money. I will certainly be recommending Gate 1 Travel and taking more trips myself with Gate 1 in the future. Best ever.
Barbara M. NSW, Australia
The trip was wonderful - a really nice group of people and Sninat, the guide, was very good. Everything was well-organized and went smoothly. The hotels were good and well located in the places where we stayed so we could all go out exploring on our own. I also appreciated the guides waiting at the airport upon our arrival and the gentleman who helped us at the airport on the way back. A great idea and a very good service to your customers.
Martina S. Rockville, MD
It was absolutely marvelous from every aspect. It was interesting, the accommodations were great, and our tour leader, Sninat, was one of the best, if not the best guides I have ever encountered. Both my husband and I had a superb time. Thank you so much.
Marion B. Spring Valley, NY
The trip was great. Hamdine (Ham) was a wonderful, informative and helpful tour guide. I had registered to run the half marathon in Marrakech. Although it was the day the tour left Marrakech, Ham helped arrange it so that I could run and then arrange to catch a train and so catch up with the tour group. Running in Africa, on another continent is an experience which I will always treasure. The sights in Morocco were spectacular, the country diverse from the goats in the argan trees to the women's cooperatives to the Fez labyrinth. Morocco was not a country that I had thought of seeing until suggested by a friend. I am thrilled that I went. I would definitely recommend a Gate 1 tour to friends.
Paulette M. Bellevue, NE
The entire Gate 1 experience highly exceeded my expectations. The highlight of the trip was our tour guide Khalid - he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. He's likely the greatest tour guide on the planet! We had a group of 13 friends on this trip and we were all so pleasantly surprised by the ease of travel, amount of amenities especially in light of the great pricing. I will certainly be considering other Gate 1 tours in the future.
Catherine P. New Orleans, LA
We had a wonderful trip. There were a total of 20 of us in the group and we all got along very well. The duration of the trip was just right. The home hosted dinner was excellent...The dinner host family was very nice and the food was very good. The optional tour of the sahara dessert (4x4 and camel trekking) was an experience of a lifetime. All of these experiences most likely don't happen without a very knowledgeable tour manager (Larbi). He had a good command of the English language and knew the history of the country very well. There was ample time for sight seeing and shopping. I would strongly recommend this trip.
Conchita B. Orchard Park, NY
I had an amazing time! It was a jam-packed trip, but I never felt like we were speeding through things. I'm very glad to have picked the kaleidoscope tour and to have seen so much of the country. Also, I couldn't have asked for a better local Gate 1 team. Our bus driver, Mohamed, and the assistant, Bader, were so kind and helpful. They did a lot for us on this trip. Ibrahim, our tour manager, was absolutely amazing. He really went out of his way to make sure we were all having a good time and enjoying the trip. He really showed how much he cared about us and about his country. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. I look forward to traveling with Gate 1 again!
Alyson M. Columbus, OH
To summarize our recent trip to Morocco, it was GREAT. The tours, the team on the bus, especially Khalid, our guide, manifested on a daily basis the highest degree of professionalism. The people of Morocco, in any venue, hotel, restaurant, on the street were truly genuine. They appreciated our visit to their country, and especially our interest in their history, culture and religion. I highly recommend this tour with Gate 1 Travel for any traveler interested in exploring a true gem of an experience
Nina T. Brooklyn, NY
The Morocco trip was much better than my expectations. The whole tour was run like clockwork. Every place visited was very beautiful and interesting. Ibrahim is a fantastic tour guide. He made everything flow smoothly. His sense of humor kept us all laughing. His knowledge of Morocco was a great help for everyone. I did not hear one complaint from the rest of the people . It shows what a great tour it was.
Robert T. El Paso, TX
It was great! I loved everything about it. Well organized, too and our main guide, Mohammad was excellent. I'll be planning more trips with your company for sure.
