What travelers are saying

"On the Go Tours has provided my mom and I with an outstanding experience from start to finish. The real star of the show though was our tour guide, Omar! Omar impressed our whole group with his extremely high level of knowledge, attentiveness to the group’s needs, and overall attention to detail. It is apparent that he has built many connections throughout the country and puts a great deal of effort into showing the best of what Morocco has to offer. His passions for history, biology, music, and language specifically shine through. He speaks beautiful English and all the local languages of Berber language, Moroccan Arabic, and French (as well as others such as German!). He loves answering questions and learning more to better his tour guide skill set. On top of all that he has a great sense of humour and is quite the showman when it comes to song and dance! This trip would not have been the same without Omar. 5 stars all the way! Beautiful, culturally enriching experience!"

Homestays & Local Immersion Tour Selection Trips

  • Do your research and ask questions. Homestays can be a wonderful insight into local life, but occasionally hotels are falsely advertised as "home stays".
  • Be a courteous guest. Tidy up after yourself, and look out for house rules, such as taking your shoes off before entering. Your host should enjoy having you as much as you enjoy staying there!
  • Stretch beyond your comfort zone! You may encounter squat toilets, cold showers and strange new foods, but it's all part of the experience. And who knows, you may find you have a taste for boiled frog or fried crickets.
  • Spend time with your hosts. A homestay is more than simply renting a room - it is a chance to get involved with a family's way of life. And don't forget that the reason many people agree to host is to learn about your culture, too.
