"Dear John and Brigitte,
I want to thank you for a great trip to Morocco. I really enjoyed your trip and your company.
I realize that the reason for much of the ease and relaxation of the trip was your preparation and legwork. I look forward to seeing you again - and the next trip!"
Edward C. (Morocco Overland Tour Oct 2013)

"John & Brigitte,
The trip we had only a few weeks ago now will stick with me forever. A trip of a lifetime, a unique adventure, an exploration into the unknown or however you describe it was truly incredible and a credit to you both.
Managing to feel as far removed from civilisation while still having a shower at the end of the day in an enchanting auberge was the perfect mix!
A huge thank you again for your organisation, hospitality and company. Hopefully we will ride again on another trip."
Ed B (Morocco Overland Oct 2012)


"Hi John & Brigitte
Thank you both for such a great trip. Your expertise and care were very much welcome and the standard of hotels was particularly welcome at the end of the day."
Steve G.(Morocco Overland Oct 2012)


"Hi Brigitte and John,
Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent trip to Morocco. Your choice of routes and accommodation were obviously made from years of experience and I thought were all very good choices. In the future I won't hesitate to contact you about further trips.."
Steve (Morocco Overland May 2010)


"John, Brigitte
Thanks to you both as always for a well researched and excellent trip. I look forward to another off road adventure next year."
David
(Morocco Overland May 2010)

"Thanks John. I really enjoyed the tour and appreciated all the effort you both put in before and during to make it all run smoothly."

Our tour is a mix of road and offroad riding. The offroad sections (pistes) are generally landrover width. The surfaces are a combination of hard packed (hamada) and gravel roads. There will be dry riverbed crossings with a combination of sand and gravel. River crossings will be generally short.

Offroad tyres are essential.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure and explore the remote tracks, high passes, valleys and spectacular gorges of the high Atlas Mountains, Jbel Sarhro, and the fringes of the Sahara.

We pass through Berber villages and witness a way of life unchanged for centuries.

On tour there is absolutely no pressure - you ride at your own pace. We will have plenty of rest stops throughout the day to catch your breath, take on food & fluids and admire the incredible views. The focus of this tour is on enjoyment - it is not a race!

We take the time to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou - the magnificent village of kasbahs on a mountainside made famous by many classic films.

Before we finish our ride in Morocco we visit the most famous and vibrant of the Imperial cities - Marrakech.
