With action-packed markets, multicoloured peninsulas and breathtakingly curvaceous architecture, this region has no shortage of wonders. But to us, Morocco’s real magic is in places only our local friends know—like wandering the green-and-gold mountains, sipping herb-infused cocktails in a private riad, or taking little-known paths to secluded bays. By night, be carried by camel to an off-limits Berber encampment. Feast and dance barefoot on the sand, and sleep in cloth tents under the stars. Or, as we like to say, poof.
All of our scheduled trips can be booked as private trips (your dates, your group).

Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.
These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.
We craft extraordinary experiences, tailor made to meet your every need,
with every stitch of every day crafted just the way you want it.

“It turns out the journey I’ve just embarked on through the North African kingdom with tour operator Butterfield & Robinson is all about finding the magic that’s just around the corner. We’re 10 guests on a week-long adventure that has us travelling by bike and by van or SUV… through Berber villages, over mountain passes in the High Atlas and smaller Anti-Atlas and into Marrakech – by way of the Sahara and a train of camels.”
