Good to know

A few things you might be wondering.

Can we change the itinerary?

Yes. These routes are starting points. Tell us your arrival point, available days and interests, and we will propose a suitable pace.

Where does the journey begin?

Most northern journeys begin in Tangier or Tétouan. Tell us your exact airport or ferry terminal: Tangier Ville and Tanger Med require different transfer plans. Ferry tickets are included only when stated in your quote.

Are the local experiences guaranteed?

Hosts, workshops and mountain outings depend on availability, season and conditions. We agree the specific experience or an alternative with you before confirming your booking.

When is a booking confirmed?

An enquiry is not a booking. Confirmation follows an agreed written proposal, availability checks and acceptance of the payment and cancellation terms supplied with that proposal.
