Our trip was fantastic! Mohammed was a wonderful tour manager and for the most part, the itinerary fit our expectations. We loved the opulence of our final hotel in Casablanca, it was a great send off.
Nancy T. Hastings, MN
My trip was amazing! I loved it and had a most wonderful time. Our group was so friendly and fun to be with. We were all friendly and enjoyed each other’s company. We were really a family of sorts….. a cast of characters. :-) Our tour guide was the best I have ever had. Safi lead our group with his heart and it was evident in everything he did. He truly wanted us to have all that we wanted, and he did what he could to make it happen. He was there for us, and I felt very safe. He ran the tour very smoothly. What a lovely human being! I loved the variety of the places we stayed and the variety of the activities we did. The food was fabulous…… everything was. Gate 1 was waiting at the airport both on arrival and departure, easing any worries we may have had. I look forward to booking my next trip with Gate 1. A great experience!
Joan C. New York, NY
The trip was amazing. Abdallah was an excellent manager. All of the local experts were very informative. Our driver and assistant were exceptional! I only wish that others throughout the world could benefit from the useful information and perspectives gleaned through interaction with those we meet on the tours! I’ve completed the survey, but wanted to reiterate that this was a wonderful experience!! I always recommend Gate 1, especially Discovery Tours, as friends always ask about my trips. Thanks so much. Looking forward to Egypt next month!!!
Loyce Jane D. Conifer, CO
It was amazing. Everyday was something new and a new highlight. It was such an amazing and beautiful country to visit. I'd definitely travel with Gate 1 again.
Eric H. Renton, WA
Wonderful, amazing, fascinating! Larbi, our tour manager was superb in every way! He really made the trip so smooth and so interesting while being so warm and engaging!
Melissa S. Mullica Hill
Great! One of the best I’ve been on! The sites, colors and experiences were incredible! I learned so much, and definitely gained an understanding of the culture! Our guide Ben, was masterful at getting us to places before other buses came and having all things ready so we never waited! His information and explanations were always right on and the local guides he enlisted were professional & full of stories to add to our understanding! Discovery Tour I absolutely would do again!!!
Ruth I. Burnsville, MN
It was wonderful. Our guide was outstanding and all the arrangements went smoothly. The planned activities were interesting, the places we stayed were delightful and it was altogether a great experience. Thanks so much.
Tonah P. Langley, WA
We had a terrific trip to Morocco. Our group leader did an outstanding job of showing and explaining so much of Morocco’s history and culture. Also we enjoyed our group of 22. Overall a fantastic trip.
Michael Q. Winnipeg, Manitoba
We had a wonderful experience. The camel ride was amazing as was Achmed our driver to the dessert. Our guide worked really hard to make sure we were all happy. The group was always on time, ready to go and fun to be with.
Lynne K. Pikesville, MD
It was unbelievable! I was very impressed with the guides and Gate 1. Khalid our coordinator/main guide was fantastic!
Katie B. St. Petersburg, FL
Our trip was excellent and our tour guide Hecham was fantastic. We had a great time.
Magda C. Goleta, CA
Morocco was a trip of a lifetime. We experienced all of Morocco, from shopping at the fabulous Medina’s, dinning with a Moroccan family, to walking the streets where Hercules lived. The hotels and food was superb. Our tour guide was amazing. Overall the experience was great. Gate 1 did a great job with this trip. I highly recommend this Discovery Tour.
Charles R. Orlando, FL
The trip was excellent. It was well planned with a focus on discovering the many sides, faces, culture and cuisine of Morocco. The tour guide was knowledgeable, experienced and good nature which led to us becoming a cohesive group. I highly recommend it.
Ildiko C. Great Neck, NY
It was outstanding! Amine was an amazing guide--knowledgeable, extremely organized as well as fun and, of course, Morocco is a fascinating destination.
Carol A. Winter Park, FL
Our trip was fabulous. Morocco is a fascinating country. We saw wonderful sights and learned much about the culture, history, geography, and it’s people. Our guide, Amine, was top-notch. He was extremely organized, flexible, informative, and had a great sense of humor. Many aspects and activities were surprising like the cooking class, hidden Riad hotels, and the desert experience surpassed our expectations!
Bonnie M. Philadelphia, PA
The Morocco Allure Discovery was probably the coolest tour I have ever been on. It seemed there was always some fabulous activity next to go too. The food was very good and the hotels were exotic and comfortable. Amine our tour manager, well, you're very lucky to have him. Loved Morocco!!!!
Susan C. Chula Vista, CA
It was a wonderful trip. Our guide was the best, he knew people everywhere. You can tell he really enjoys his work.....I would travel with him again in a heartbeat. The hotels were great and of course the Sahara was the highlight of the trip. This trip will be hard to beat...
Julie M. San Diego, CA
It was probably one of our best trips ever!! Morocco was absolutely beautiful. The size of our group was perfect. Our group itself were very cohesive, it was amazing. Our guide Mohammed was so kind and thoughtful that I think we all came back spoiled rotten. So much fun!
Yvette F. Los Angeles, CA
We had a great trip to Morocco! Ali, our guide was a gem! We are very impressed! All of our city guides were excellent, too! This was our 1st Discovery trip (out of 4) and we plan to use this experience as our template for future Gate 1 trips. We felt very well cared for!!!
Bill B. Ossining, NY
It was a great tour of Morocco. Hesham was a truly fabulous guide. Bus driver, Azziz, and assistant, Hosnie, were excellent. The hotel accommodations (some with swimming pools) and restaurants very good. Pace was a bit fast for me, but the trip overall was just what I had hoped for. Shopping opportunities in nearly every city. Lots of lovely sweet mint tea and great coffee au lait. Hesham guided us to ATM's at banks (to anticipate any problems - but there were none). Lots of history and cultural learning along the way. I am now resting up from such a great trip. I plan to take another Gate 1 tour.
Bruce B. Blue Bell, PA
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.
Denise B. Delray Beach, FL
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!
Michael C. Highland Beach, FL
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.
Hettie C. Millersville, MD
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.
David E. West Des Moines, IA
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
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”.
