Morocco
offers an interesting diversity to the world traveler. From the blue coastline
to the brown deserts, from the snow-clad mountains to the mesmerizing
city scapes, the country offers the best of nature and man. Thousands of
tourists flock to the country each year and the number has been increasing
gradually over the years.
Many
companies have come up to cater to the demand of tourists. Hotels, restaurants,
tour companies, etc. now abound in Morocco. Consequently, a lot of bad apples
have also come in. The web is replete with stories of bad experiences of
tourists. The only way to counter the problem is for visitors to take some time
and find the best deals for themselves. The ideal way to visit a vast country
as Morocco is to take the help of tour operators so that the visitors do not
miss on some great experiences and also do not face any problems.
Understand the places you want to see: Many tourists come with an open mind and rely
on the tour operators to show them around. Though this makes sense, you need to
understand that tour companies will show what they think is best in Morocco.
They would not know what you like to see. So, look up the different places for
tourists in the country and decide what tours you want to try.
Find the companies that offer these tours: A lot of vendors will offer the tours you want
to try. The trick is to find the good ones. Here’s how you do it:
·
Search the web: The internet will bring forth a lot of players
who offer exactly what you are looking for in a tour company. Make a list of
the names you find and search their websites for their packages. Make a
shortlist of 3-4 players you like and then go to the next step.
·
Read customer reviews and see the photographs: Most of the customers will let you know what
they like and what they did not. Also, their photographs will show a completely
honest picture of the ground realities.
·
Compare the prices: If you are lucky, the prices will be available
online but most players will not share it on the public web due to the
competition and fluctuating prices. If not available, email or call the
companies and understand their prices and what you will get.
Inform them of your requirements: If you have a specific requirement, then inform the tour company of
the same. If you are allergic to a certain food, want to spend more time hiking
the Atlas mountains, want to shop at the local medinas, etc., tell them of your
needs and they will make sure you get what you are looking for in an authentic
Morocco tour.
