No showed for a trip to Morocco

Do not use Julia travel. They no showed on my pick up at 0415 in the am in Malaga. Zero apologies and zero excuses. Though they said they would reimburse me. It’s a month later and I now have to dispute the charge with my credit card company I had to walk to a bus stop leaving my hotel at 3:30 in the morning to meet them. And as I said, they didn’t show up. What a huge disappointment. Book with anyone else but them.

No Call No Show Julia Travels Tangier Morocco

Meeting time was 10 Avenida Andalicia at 5:10am. We were ther at 5:05am. Waited over an hour. Called the phone number from the confirmation email, no answer. sent Viator chat message, no answer. Sent What’s App message, no answer. Tried to leave a message on Julia Travels website, but site would not allow me to “send”. Very disappointing, this company ruined my vacation. Not enough time to book another Morocco trip for less than $1k.

Everything is great

Everything was great. Our tour guide Lori and the guides in Morocco were truly perfect. We would always book a tour with them again. The tour was definitely worth it; we gained many impressions of Morocco. The meeting point and the ferry ride went well; everything was explained excellently. Only the meeting time on Trip Advisor was incorrect. From Malaga, the meeting point is at 4:30 AM. This should perhaps be changed on the website. Otherwise, everything was top-notch. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience and impressions.

Not recommended

Picked up early by bus from hotel towards ferry Tarifa. Very long waiting time standing on the boat at Maroc customs. Then 40 min by bus. On the way couple of camels in parking lot. It sucks. Stopovers not interesting. Harira soup very bland. Couscous good. Eventually only 30 min. left for free time in medina / souk. Very unfortunate. Mostly travelled and waited then actually image of Tangier. Friendly and helpful guides. Not worth repeating. Price / quality is totally disproportionate.
