FAQ
Is this a private trip?
Yes — a private vehicle and driver for your group only, not a shared group tour.
What time do we leave and return?
Departure and return times are arranged around your schedule when you book — send us your dates and we'll confirm timing.
Is lunch included?
No — lunch isn't included, so you're free to stop in the village.
Can the itinerary be customized?
Yes — every MGA trip is private, so the pace and stops can be adjusted around your interests. Tell us what you'd like when you send your request.
Can I book now and pay later?
Yes. Sending a request is free and commits you to nothing. We confirm your dates, itinerary and final price with you first; a 20% deposit then secures the booking, and the remaining 80% is paid on arrival in Morocco.
