I'm from the U.S., researching tour groups (Backroads, Road Scholar-type of groups) for an 7-10 day tour of Morocco. I'm in my 40's, and looking for an active, educational-type of group (maybe like Rick Steves) with like minded people. Have looked into On the Go Tours and Gap which are inexpensive (cater to younger crowd?) while others like Backroads and Road Scholar are double-triple the price (and don't include airfare). Any recommendations for a middle-of-the-road type group would be great. Am looking for a possible March 2013 trip.
Many thanks,
RM

They usually include international air.
Average age from 40/up though a few younger; some up to 80+/yrs. And, believe no single supplement.
Good luck!
Good luck.
Many, many thanks! Looks promising...I'll let you know how it all turns out.
We went to Morocco last Feb. with Odyesseys Unlimited. We have traveled with OAT in the past and thought Odysseys a cut above.
We've used both OAT and OU depending on itinerary. Both have smaller groups. OU has somewhat higher-end hotels and slightly larger groups than OAT.
We chose OAT for our Morocco trip because of a more extensive itinerary.
Good luck !
Also - OAT has no single supplement, I believe OU does.
Thanks, everyone. This helps!
Best,
