Journey Beyond Travel designed a terrific introductory trip of Morocco's Imperial Cities for us! JBT has an excellent staff of guides and drivers. Plus, they chose superb accomodations. We felt completely comfortable in their hands.
-Dale F.



Traveling with Journey Beyond Travel was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. The itinerary JBT mapped out for us gave us a feel for the vast diversity of the geography of the country, and our driver and guides unreservedly shared with us their knowledge of and love for their country, not to mention their homes. A truly unforgettable experience!
-Sarah L. and Barry R.


Our holiday with Journey Beyond Travel was even better than I imagined. Being with JBT was like being driven around to see exciting spots with a friend, which our driver became. The guides and drivers were real characters who made us feel welcome at every turn. The highlight was riding camels into the desert and sleeping under the stars - an absolutely magical experience that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime!
-Sara N.


We customized our trip based on the Morocco tours listed on the JBT website. Our two-week holiday was absolutely fantastic. At first, we were hesitant about picking a tour company off the Internet, but JBT delivered everything promised and more. The knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly guides and drivers made our tour a truly memorable experience. The meals shared with locals gave us an opportunity to see what life behind the private walls of the city is really like. We felt Fazia's personal touch along the way in everything we did. I would not hesitate to recommend Journey Beyond Travel...in fact, I already have.
-Michele, Bill and Sydney


It was our first visit to North Africa and we took a four-day Sahara trek with Journey Beyond Travel. It was pleasantly planned out with great accomodations and experienced guides. We were very pleased with the choices and suggestions given by JTB for our trip. Our first correspondence was with Fazia, who gave sound advice and tips on local customs and insights. WIth Hicham and Tata, we felt as if we had known them our whole lives!
-Ailene and Sam


Morocco has been one of the most wonderful travel experiences for us and Journey Beyond Travel ensured that happened. The flexibility and organisation was brilliant. I was a little worried about traveling with kids in Morocco but with JBT there were no such worries. Our boys (11 & 13) got totally into it. One is still drinking his mint tea he makes himself. The guides were wonderful and being able to join them for meals with their families really opened their eyes. We all learned so much. The desert visit was a highlight for all. Thank you JBT!
-Trish and Family


What a fantastic experience Journey Beyond Travel provided for us during our trip to Morocco in May 2009! The entire tour was extremely well organised and it was obvious that a great deal of research had gone into choosing places to stay, travel experiences and restaurants to dine in. Fazia and Thomas have sourced experienced, knowledgable, trustworthy and friendly guides and drivers who made our tour a truly memorable experience. The camel trek and night in the desert is not to be missed--I would certainly travel with JBT again--thank you all for a great experience, wonderful sights, and fond memories!
-Cheryle and Jill


Journey Beyond Travel was a pleasure to work with and always answered our questions immediately. They put together a great week for us! It was lovely to meet Fazia as we drove through Ifrane. I hope we get to work with the JBT Team again in the future!
-Sue M.



We had a great time in Morocco and were very impressed with JBT's planning, down to the last detail. We got a fascinating, detailed view of life in Morocco that a "standard" tour would not provide - from spectacular scenery to informal discussions with our guides about their daily lives, from welcoming visits to family homes to elegantly restored riads in the heart of the medina.
-Lianne and Shawn


Morocco is mysterious and magical and an experience not to be missed! Journey Beyond Travel takes care of all details, big and small, easing the way for travelers to safely soak up all of the myriad sights & sounds. The accommodations are charming and comfortable. There is complete flexibility in designing a trip and guides are chosen for their specific knowledge of each area. I would choose JBT for my next trip!
-Sue and John


We spent two wonderful weeks with Journey Beyond Travel. Morocco could not be a more magical place and we couldn't have chosen a better company to see it with. We had the best drivers, the most beautiful accommodations and the country's best guides. We were taken to amazing places we never could have gone on our own and met wonderful people we never would have known. Our goal for our trip was to get off the tourist path and really experience the country. JBT showed us a Morocco that far exceeded any expectations we had. We will be forever grateful for the experience we had and the friends we've made! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!
-Jason and John


Journey Beyond Travel are a fantastic Morocco tour organiser. They really take care to understand what you want, and customise the holiday accordingly. We managed to fit in so much more than we could possibly have done in 9 days if we had arranged it ourselves, and all the experiences were really fabulous. Accommodation was in wonderful small guesthouses and riads, we ate at some fantastic restaurants, and we saw an enormous variety of aspects of Morocco. A really wonderful experience!
-Lin and her Mother

-Shirley and Glen


Pankaj and family on Morocco tripJust a quick note of thanks for the wonderful Morocco holiday. It was a great experience and all of us enjoyed it thoroughly...all the programs planned worked in clock-work precision. I can’t recall any point where we had to wait for any driver/guide for even a minute. And the places to stay were simply superb. Much appreciated by all of us. Keep up the good work!
-Pankaj and Family


Dee and family in erg chigagaOur trip to Morocco was magical! It is a vacation our family will remember for a long time. And, that's a lot given that our daughters are 6 and 10! We really connected with our driver and guide, plus we learned so much about the country and culture. Our daughters now want to learn Arabic. The people were friendly, the food fabulous; thank you for a memorable journey!
-Dee and Family


Scott on a Morocco trip with Journey Beyond TravelBinita and I were quite impressed with the timeliness of all our drivers. We never had to wait more than five minutes, though most drivers were right on time. Fez was our favorite, and the Quartier Habous in Casablanca was something of a gem. We had a great holiday in Morocco. Everything went very smoothly and we came back with some great stories and a number of souvenirs.
-Scott and Binita


Ron with Journey Beyond TravelI wholeheartedly recommend Journey Beyond Travel to anyone interested in visiting Morocco. They were very interested in me as a customer and were always prompt in answering my questions or adjusting my itinerary. They paid so much attention to detail that our trip was practically effortless. They went beyond the call of duty in making our trip easy, enjoyable, and very memorable. I can't recommend them enough. I will use their services again on my next trip to Morocco. They really know the country and their suggestions always exceeded my expectations.
-Ron Reitz


howard on Morocco tripThank you for all your help with the trip to Morocco. We had a great time and your input and arrangements were key to this...Your help and planning with this trip was excellent and very much an indication of your really listening to us and what we wanted. What we didn't expect were all the signs of how invested you are in Morocco itself and your commitment to the growth, advancement, and development of the people you work with such as Omar, Tata, Lahcen, etc. Realizing that was part of the agenda of the travel agency we were working with made the trip all the more enjoyable and special. Thank you for your help and for the efforts you are making in Morocco.
-Howard and Janet


michele Morocco tripJourney Beyond Travel did an amazing job providing the perfect trip for an excellent price. The staff was very helpful and everything ran as expected - like clock-work. They used small hotels and riads that were of a very good quality, in wonderful locations, and are thoroughly researched by the staff. The drivers and guides showed up on time and all were incredibly professional. Everyone considered Journey Beyond Travel as "friends," so it was important for them to do an outstanding job. The staff was able to accommodate all of my requests - from seeing all of the diverse landscapes to spending time with a local family. In a short amount of time, I felt like I was able to experience a little piece of all of Morocco's treasures. I highly recommend JBT for customized packages to Morocco, especially for those looking for a trip in the mid-range price, and I am looking forward to my next trip with JBT!
-Michele Cerullo


Britt Tour MoroccoJourney Beyond Travel organised an adventure for us that lived up to their name. We had an amazing time seeing a large part of Morocco and engaging with the people of the country. Their (JBT's) planning was well designed. Their execution was flawless. And, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. Merci mille fois!

Bonnie on Tour in MoroccoJourney Beyond Travel provided the perfect one-week custom Morocco tour for the three of us. It was everything I had asked for and more. Morocco was as exotic as I had hoped and more beautiful than I had dreamed. The drivers and guides all did an exceptional jobs. The cost for this private tour was more than reasonable and went extraordinarily well. I have traveled the world in many ways and this was one of the best trips ever! I highly recommend Journey Beyond Travel.
-Bonnie Edwards


Morocco family trip Brilliant holiday! Everything was perfectly arranged and well communicated. We loved the riads in Marrakesh and Zagora. Our favorite time was in the High Atlas Mountains, in Omar's village (very comfortabe), and in the desert. Go with Journey Beyond Travel if you want something adventurous: fun, different, and fascinating!
-Annelie Green


Morocco trip abroadThis was truly one of the most amazing experiences we have had in travelling. I highly suggest staying overnight in the tented camp, rising early to walk up the dunes and view the incredible sunrise. No words can describe the beauty of the changing colours of the Red Sahara Sand. The customer service and attention to detail by Journey Beyond Travel was perfect. Thanks for the experience of a lifetime!
-Mary Lou Papachristou


Morocco honeymoon photoJourney Beyond Travel exceeded our expectations! They planned an 11 day honeymoon trip through Morocco, which turned out to be an amazing adventure. We learned so much about Moroccan culture and history; it was great to be exposed to a culture that doesn't follow the "American ideal". Our trip was very well organized; everything ran incredibly smooth. Our guides/drivers and the hotel staff knew where we had to be each day, it was great not to have to worry about it ourselves. Thank you so much for providing us with such a memorable honeymoon!
-Henny Choubaralian


Morocco tour holidayMy friends and I just returned from a tour to Morocco and thanks to the services of the folks at Journey Beyond Travel the trip was a huge success. Ours was was a customized Morocco trip and right from the first contact we felt that they made every effort to understand the kind of trip we wanted. Their expert knowledge and suggestions were invaluable... We finally settled on the city of Marrakesh, a trip over the High Atlas Mountains to Skoura in the valley of a thousand kasbahs, and finally a couple of relaxing days in the coastal town of Essaouira. JBT pulled it all together and everything turned out as expected. The riads were great, especially Dar Silsila in Marrakech...I would certainly recommend JBT to anyone who is interested in visiting Morocco - travelers who do not want a typical big bus tour or who do not want to travel completely independently. Thanks JBT!

Morocco small group tour holidayWe could not have found a better Morocco tour operator! Journey Beyond Travel looked into every detail of our holiday and provided us with everything. At every destination the Riad or Hotel knew exactly how many rooms and the exact details of our reservation. The tours, guides, and drivers were all fantastic! Everyone was patient, caring, and looked after us very well.

Morocco family tripI traveled on a Morocco trip for nine days with my 19 and 20 year old daughters and my father-in-law. On three different occasions, one of my daughters exclaimed, "Dad, you plan the coolest trips!" I let them give me the full credit for the planning of the trip , when in fact Journey Beyond Travel deserves the credit. Morocco is a wonderful country; JBT does a great job and we had a tremendous trip!
-Randy Reynolds & Family (USA)

Morocco family holiday in Ziz ValleyMy husband, our 16 year old son, and I went on a custom Morocco holiday with Journey Beyond Travel. We travel internationally quite a bit and have learned that the best memories are all about the people we meet. JBT provided a truly memorable trip for all of us - we had a fun market and cooking lesson in Fez, shared tea and milk with Abdel Karim, a date farmer in an oasis, and had an exhilarating and exhausting climb up Mount Toubkal in the snow... Through it all, our JBT guide was calm and knowledgeable, providing interesting insight about the people and culture. We would absolutely recommend JBT to anyone who wants a trip full of wonderful experiences and memories. Writing this description makes me want to do it all over again...
-Tim, Loretta, and Mika Little


Morocco family tour and surfingJourney Beyond Travel was able to meet the needs of our family Morocco tour to a "T". Amazing! This vacation went like clockwork, exactly as our itinerary indicated. I had ZERO stress about anything, and was able to really relax and enjoy the country and its people. I have already indicated to many families our huge success with JBT. I always felt totally safe, I knew there was help at the end of the phone if needed. The little extras from JBT made all the difference to our kids and to we adults.
-Sharon Duguid


Morocco family holidaysWe loved every place we stayed. The locations were always surprising and mysterious. The staff at every place was extremely welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious. They were unique places we would not have found on our own.
-Pam Tucker



Morocco travel Sahara DesertJourney Beyond Travel coordinates such an authentic experience that you just miss out on with larger, more generic tour companies. The tour leader's knowledge helped to bridge the gap between my culture and Moroccan culture which made me feel like less of a tourist and allowed me to experience Morocco in a truly authentic way.
-Candice McEachre


Morocco bike tourAll I can say is "WOW"! I have traveled to Scotland, Italy, China, Barbardos, and parts of the US, but this Morocco trip was the BEST. Journey Beyond Travel was truly exceptional in providing an intimate and thoroughly outstanding experience on this Morocco bike tour. I felt totally spoiled and I do not think I will ever be able to go back to run-of-the-mill package tours.
-Lillian Au


Nur in Ziz Valley MoroccoWe have to thank the team at JBT for the wonderful honeymoon that they put together for us. The Morocco they showed us was everything and more than we had ever imagined, from the rich culture, friendly people, and gorgeous sceneries that just held us spellbound. The trip that JBT put together for us had just the right elements of independent adventure, cultural immersion, and of course, romance! Our nine honeymoon rooms were beautiful, and we made great friends along the way. We sure miss Abdel Karim in the Ziz Valley! All in all, what we appreciated most was the excellent pre and after-sales service that JBT provides. They obviously love Morocco, AND they love what they do, which makes them great at it. Every single thing was planned to meticulous detail, and every single need we had was met. They make sure you have a fantastic trip, and we did! Best summarised: it is like having a good local friend help you plan your trip. Thank You Journey Beyond Travel!

Lindsay Hague in Sahara Desert MoroccoThis was one of the best vacations ever - I have done nothing but rave to my friends! Journey Beyond Travel arranged a wonderful trip for us, which was "beyond" our expectations. The guides were all knowledgeable, the accommodations were all great and we saw everything we wanted to see. We felt safe at all times and really felt that we got to “know” Morocco. It is a fascinating and beautiful place. We'd love to go back. And if we do, we would definitely use Journey Beyond Travel again. The trip was totally magical!
-Lindsay Hague


Brian in High Atlas MountainsThank you for arranging such a wonderful and fascinating Morocco trip. I found the destinations you selected for my itinerary - Marrakech, the High Atlas Mountains, and Essaouira - excellent in their diversity and extraordinary in their splendor. By visiting them, I feel I witnessed the essence of southern Morocco's character, culture, and people.
-Brian VanDeMark



Nanette in Dades Valley MoroccoTraveling from Fez through the Ziz Valley to Marrakech and up into the High Atlas Mountains, we had the time of our lives. Journey Beyond Travel not only planned a variety of experiences, but also took advantage of spontaneous opportunities - like visiting an organic farm en route. The accommodations they arranged were wonderful. I've been planning to return to Morocco with them very soon.
-Nanette Anslinger



summit of mount toubkalFrom my arrival at my hotel in Marrakech until my return I couldn't have had a better experience - all credit going to Journey Beyond Travel and their amazing staff...My personal guide was amazing...The High Atlas Mountains Trek from Imlil to Base camp was gorgeous...The summit of Mount Toubkal was all I could have hoped for and more. I will not hesitate recommending JBT to friends!
-John Iaquinto


Ziz Valley Morocco PhotoI simply cannot convey in words how amazing the trip was...everyone we met - whether through JBT or not - was the epitome of friendliness. I have raved to my friends about Morocco in general and Journey Beyond Travel in particular. Thank you so much for customizing our tour, adapting it as we went, being so responsive to our questions, and truly showing us the real Morocco.

Camel kissing man in MoroccoWe loved our behind-the-scenes, off-the-beaten-path adventure in Morocco! With Journey Beyond Travel's personal connections, we felt more like welcomed visitors than "tourists".
-Diana & David Butler



Camel riding in Sahara Desert in MoroccoThe Riads in Fez and Marrakech were amazing. Journey Beyond Travel did a great job of arranging accommodations, restaurants, tours, and giving shopping advice. I would highly recommend them to make all your accommodation arrangements. Next time I go to Morocco, I’m going to bring four empty suitcases and just buy stuff!

Vicky Marcum-Howard getting kicked on street in Morocco.Oh My God!! What can a Girl say about the hospitality and the awesomeness of Morocco? That it's the SHIT? That it's pretty darn cool? Literally, everywhere we went there was an adventure - would you like to try and eat sheep's head? Sure, no problem. Want a snake coiled around your neck? We can do that too. Like this rug here? We can wrap this up after we drink a little tea. Journey Beyond Travel takes immense pride in being able to show you the "real Morocco" - the one you can smell, taste, touch. And proud they should be - I felt safe and secure at all times, never was a time when I wondered where I was or what I was doing. I strongly urge anyone to take the short plane ride (just 7 hours from New York City) and immerse yourself into a fascinating and beautiful place.

Niki Hepi in MoroccoTravelling with Journey Beyond Travel was simply fantastic! As a keen independent traveller, I was very impressed with the flexibility and intimacy of this group. The organisers and tour leaders were very professional, knowledgable and provided individualised information as necessary. The JBT team live in Morocco and have developed knoweldge and relationships that only a local could have, and we as travellers reaped the benefit of this. There was lots of time to explore as well as some interesting local guides who provided invaluable insight into their lives, homes and local areas. The main reason I enjoyed my trip with JBT was that we got to experience many places and meet local people that were off the beaten track and that other groups [traveling with another company] would not even know about, let alone visit. These were the hightlights of my Morocco experience.
