Itinerary was a bit too packed. Need to have more free time. And the “tourist trap” shopping experiences need to be eliminated. Instead, we should be given free time to shop at the medinas. The hotels for the most part were superb, except for the one in Casablanca - given the poor staff. The hotel in Marrakesh has an excellent location, but the facility itself is a bit outdated. And please, add a night in the Ouarzazate!

Great value for a worry free vacation. Accommodations were clean, food was good. All we had to do was get on the bus relax and go see the sights.

Scandinavia is well worth visiting

Loved the tour. Our guide was terrific and we met some great people. Most hotels were great. Visited some really beautiful places. We learned a lot and tried many local foods. Return trip down Norway was a bit tiresome with 3 days of travelling but it's a big country and drive was scenic. Really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it.
