What is the difference between Intrepid Travel and Morocco Private Holidays?+
Intrepid runs scheduled small-group tours (8–14 strangers travel together on fixed dates). Morocco Private Holidays runs 100% private tours — only your party, any date, full customization of pace and accommodation.

Can I book a private version of an Intrepid Morocco itinerary?+
Yes. We can replicate any standard Morocco itinerary structure (Marrakech + Sahara + Fes + Chefchaouen, etc.) as a private tour on the dates you choose, with upgraded accommodation and private transport instead of a shared minibus.
