Uncover Morocco on an unforgettable adventure...
Experience a whirlwind of marketplaces, exotic cities and spicy aromas with our award-winning Morocco trips.
The exotic mix of bustling medinas, imperial cities, striking landscapes and kaleidoscope of culture has long attracted travelers to Morocco. The range of experiences on offer is impressive - camel rides across the Sahara, bed down in a Berber camp, explore unspoilt kasbahs and travel back in time to wander through medieval cities. The Atlas Mountains are a veritable playground for trekkers whilst the towns along the coast are perfect for those seeking a little sun, sea and sand.
On The Go Tours places you in the very heart of all the bustle. Our local tour guides know Morocco. They know where to find the best couscous and mint tea. And they know how to navigate the market streets and walled medina of Marrakech. Their expertise means you can forget about the tricky details - and focus on making memories with fellow travelers on your Morocco tour.
You can explore Morocco on a group or private tour, or you can combine it with Spain and Portugal for a mammoth adventure!
Morocco group tours
Our Morocco group tours take you to the beating heart of this spectacular North African country. Most vacations start in Marrakech, though we also have some trips beginning in Casablanca. They range in length from a week to more than two, and most take in iconic Ait Benhaddou and camel riding in the Sahara. But you can also visit less well-known sites including the Blue City of Chefchaouen and the delightful port city of Essaouira. There are annual meteor tours too, and festive trips, if you're looking for an extra special package! Browse these popular itineraries and don't hesitate to contact our team if you'd like more information about visiting Morocco, or to get a trip booked in!
Prefer to travel privately?
In Morocco, we also offer a wide range of private tours, varying in length from a few days to two weeks. From Marrakech to Fes and the Sahara Desert, these private trips take in all of the country's highlights and enjoy all the same inclusions as our group tours... just without the group!
Morocco family tours
Morocco is a family-friendly holiday destination, and we have a selection of tours designed for parents with children aged 5 and over, as well as a teenager tour for those with older children. These family vacations are a bit more flexible than our regular group itineraries, with more optional sightseeing. This means that if you prefer to spend a day lazing by the pool then you can! But they are still packed with inclusions, including a memorable camel ride and overnight stay in the Sahara! And of course, you'll have the services of an expert tour guide throughout your package!

Frequently asked questions
How many days in Morocco is enough?
To take in all of Morocco's main highlights, including the Sahara and the coastal gems of Essaouira and Casablanca, we recommend between 10 days and 2 weeks. If you're just interested in Marrakech and Casablanca, then a week is plenty. Our longest Morocco tours are around 14-15 days, though we have longer trips available for those looking to combine the country with Spain and Portugal.
I want to spend a night in the Sahara Desert - what is your Berber camp like?
The desert camp we use for our Morocco trips is a permanent tented camp. Each tent has up to six single beds inside where the group sleeps. Between these tents is an open communal space with Moroccan carpets and tables where the group eats their meals. There are flush toilets on site and a hose for washing. The day you leave the Sahara there will be time for a shower at a hotel in Merzouga before continuing on with the itinerary.
Do I need to bring a sleeping bag on my Morocco tour?
You won't need a sleeping bag as for the most part you'll be staying in 3-4 star hotels on your Morocco tour. And our desert camp provides all the bedding you need including pillows and blankets. For your own personal comfort, you may wish to bring a sleeping bag liner to use at the desert camp.
How long is the camel trek in the Sahara?
If you choose to spend a night in the Sahara, we journey there by camel for an authentic Berber experience. These camel rides last for about an hour and a half. If you prefer to walk then you can walk alongside our camel caravan but bear in mind that walking in sand can be tiring.
Where's the best place to get the local currency?
The Moroccan Dirham is a closed currency, which means you won't be able to get it outside of Morocco. Your best option is to withdraw money from an airport ATM on your arrival in Morocco. The currency exchange services at airports offer notoriously poor rates so withdrawing the money from an ATM is the most cost-effective and easiest way of getting the cash you need for your trip.
Do all of your Morocco trips start in Marrakech?
Many of our tours do start in Marrakech and this is perfect for those in the UK where a number of airlines offer affordable, direct flights between the major cities. However, from elsewhere in the world most airlines fly directly into Casablanca, and this is why we offer a selection of tours that start in this famous city.
How big are your tour groups and what is the age of your travelers?
The average group size on our Morocco vacations is between 10-12 travelers. As with all of our destinations, you can expect a real mix of ages ranging from those in their 20s to those in their 70s. The beauty of group tours is that many of our travelers make new friends for life - it's the thing we love most about group touring!
What is the standard of hotels on your trips?
On our Signature product, you'll be staying in a mix of 4-star modern hotels and traditional Moroccan riads in Morocco's cities. This gives you a chance to experience the local hospitality and stay in accommodation that reflects the character of Morocco. On our Handpicked range of tours in Morocco, the standard of accommodation is equivalent to a Western 3-star.
Is Morocco a safe destination for travelers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2023 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Morocco scores an F rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 170th out of 203 countries.
Same sex marriage is not legal and there are no constitutional or worker protections in place for the LGBTQ+ community. 0 - 25% of consulted citizens consider Morocco a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. Laws prevent the discussion of pro-LGBTQ+ issues and homosexual or “unnatural” acts result in 6 months – 3 years in prison and a fine. Public indecency results in up to 2 years in prison and a fine. However, these laws are not strictly enforced in Morocco, especially in popular destinations such as Marrakech.
This does not mean members of the LGBTQ+ community shouldn’t visit Morocco, but precautions should be taken when traveling. As long as you use common sense, traveling in Morocco shouldn’t be a problem. We take people of all ages, races, genders and sexualities on tour and there are rarely any issues for our travelers in the destination.
The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travelers to the country.
What sort of transport do you use and how much time is spent driving?
We use comfortable, modern mini-vans with air-conditioning and good-sized windows through which to enjoy the passing views. There is a fair distance to cover in Morocco, especially if you want to see the main highlights. To reach the Sahara from Marrakech, the drive time is around six hours, followed by a camel trek to get deep into the surrounding dunes. The longest day of travel is the journey between Fes and Erg Chebbi. It's a full day of driving but thankfully it's a wonderfully scenic drive with a stop at the lovely alpine-style town of Ifrane located in the High Atlas Mountains. On our Signature tours, you'll have the opportunity to wander around what is described as the 'Switzerland of Morocco'. Most other journeys are far shorter and the majority of your days will be spent out and about sightseeing.
When is the best time to visit Morocco for general sightseeing?
Spring (March - May) and autumn (September - November) are the best times to visit Morocco. At these times of the year you can expect pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine. The landscape is particularly lovely in spring when it's green and lush while autumn provides the best weather conditions for trekking.
Is Moroccan food suitable for vegetarians?
Vegetables feature prominently in local Moroccan cuisine so vegetarians should have no issues. It's true that Moroccans like their meat but it's always accompanied by a delicious range of vegetables and grains. There's a huge variety of salads to choose from, soups can easily be made vegetarian-friendly on request and the ubiquitous tagine and couscous dishes come in vegetarian options too. Your tour guide will be able to advise you on the best restaurants to visit in each location. Street food stalls are a common sight in Morocco too - we advise you to try the food but take care about which stall to eat from and practice good food hygiene! Your guide will be able to help here, too.
What is the deal with mint tea in Morocco?
The locals call it Berber whiskey and it holds a special importance in the country - you will drink a lot of mint tea on your trip. Morrocans drink mint tea when welcoming guests to their house, or even their business. It's drunk at home, in cafes and on the street and there is no right or wrong time of day to drink it. Moroccan mint tea is typically prepared freshly each day from mint bought at the local market, and for this reason it's the best mint tea you're likely to find anywhere across North Africa and the Middle East.
As a solo traveler will I have to pay more for my Morocco package?
Traveling solo doesn't have to cost more, and solo travelers who are happy to share a room can do so on our Handpicked tours to Morocco, subject to there being another solo traveler of the same gender for you to share with. Please book a single room and contact us if your preference is to room share. The cost of the single supplement will then be refunded. On our Signature tours, we offer a reasonably priced single room option, giving solo travellers the comfort and privacy of their own room. The price of the single supplement for each tour is listed on the relevant web page.
Morocco tours visiting Spain & Portugal
We offer a selection of tours that combine the European nations of Spain and Portugal with the best of Morocco. These three countries have an entwined history, and these tours are popular with travelers looking for a longer and more comprehensive tour.
Tours visiting Marrakech
These tours all include visits to Marrakech, and we have plenty more choice too! The majority of our tours start or end here, meaning it's easy for you to extend your stay in Morocco's most popular destination before or after your trip with us. If you've got some free time in Marrakech before or after your tour, you could book excursions to nearby attractions such as Essaouira, or the Ouzoud Waterfalls.
