Please take a moment to carefully read the Terms & Conditions that apply when booking a tour with Vibes Morocco Trip. These terms outline the agreement between you (the traveler) and us (the tour operator), including our responsibilities, payment terms, cancellation policies, and what you can expect during your journey through Morocco.

Booking Conditions:

Tour Package

Your tour price includes transportation (all modes listed), fuel, accommodation, local taxes, services of a professional tour director, and meals as indicated on the itinerary. The price does not include drinks or lunch or any meals other than those indicated on the final itinerary.

Vibes Morocco Trip makes every effort to ensure that all arrangements and services connected with your tour will be carried out exactly as specified in the most efficient way possible. However, we don’t have direct control over the provision of services by our suppliers, and while they are selected with the utmost care, we don’t accept liability for errors, omissions, or failure by them to provide services as specified.

It is of great importance to note that Vibes Morocco Trip reserves the right to adjust and make necessary changes to the itinerary or services, mainly due to occasional unforeseen circumstances, and to substitute accommodations listed with other ones of similar category. Porterage, gratuities, meals (except where otherwise noted), drinks, telephone calls, attraction entrance fees, and any other items of a personal nature are assumed to be the client’s responsibility.

Deposits:

In order to proceed with your booking, Vibes Morocco Trip requires a nonrefundable deposit of 20% of the total cost of your package. This deposit will be deducted from your total trip cost, and the remaining balance will be payable 25 days before your tour start date.

As soon as Vibes Morocco Trip receives receipt of your deposit, we will send you a confirmation email with your confirmed travel itinerary.

We can accept bookings no less than two days in advance, but please note that reservations should be made as early as possible, especially if you are traveling in the peak season around Christmas and Easter. Final payment must be received by us 30 days before the due arrival date: 100% of the total tour price must be funded. There is no refund after the payment is done. If this balance payment becomes overdue and we cannot contact you, your reservation will be canceled and your deposit retained.

Your Travel Experience with Us:

Our Approach and Operating Principles

1. Breaking Down Barriers: We’re not just a travel agency, and you’re more than just clients. We’re companions on a journey.

2. Prioritizing Honesty: Transparency matters to us. If anything isn’t going as planned, please communicate promptly with our manager or tour guide.

3. Embracing Open-Mindedness: Curiosity is encouraged. Feel free to ask questions on any topic; we’re here to share knowledge and insights.

4. Customized Stops: If you’re keen on capturing a moment, or if you need a break, don’t hesitate to request a photo stop or pause at any time.

5. Valuing Sustainability: At Vibes Morocco Trip, we hold a deep respect for local environments and communities on our routes. We kindly ask our guests to align with our principles by respecting the environment and the local culture. We believe that a journey should encompass more than just destinations—it’s about building connections, fostering understanding, and making lasting memories together.

Accommodation Selection Process:

Prior to recommending any lodging, our team at Vibes Morocco Trip undertakes a meticulous evaluation process grounded in four key criteria: scenic vistas, culinary offerings, guest comfort, and intangible qualities. Following the initial selection, we continue to prioritize the input of our esteemed clientele, valuing their insights as a crucial factor in our decision-making process.

Smoking Regulations:

While aboard our vehicles, we strictly enforce a non-smoking policy. However, we ensure frequent rest stops to accommodate those who wish to smoke. We kindly request your consideration for fellow clients who might be sensitive to smoke due to allergies. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Dietary Requirements:

For tours encompassing provided meals, we kindly request you to inform us of any specific dietary needs during the booking process. This ensures that we can effectively communicate your requirements to our suppliers and make necessary arrangements. Your cooperation is essential in providing a tailored and enjoyable experience for all our clients.

Itinerary notes

Some tours have choices for attractions or accommodation, and sometimes there are attractions that carry an additional cost and are listed as optional. Please choose these options when you book your tour as some are limited in space.

If you wish to leave the tour at any time to visit friends or family, you are welcome to do so. Please ensure that the tour director is informed ahead of time.

Travel insurance

Insurance is not included in tour fares, but it is essential. We require that you purchase insurance in order to protect the non-refundable portion of your fare and to provide coverage for unexpected events.

Special needs

If you require ongoing assistance in any way, you must be accompanied by a travel companion who will be fully responsible for your needs while on tour. Your tour director cannot provide ongoing assistance. Some tours may not be suitable due to the level of activity, so please discuss your needs with us when you book your tour.

Vibes Morocco Trip Policy on Itinerary Adjustments

Please be advised that all aspects of your  tour with us are subject to modification in any case of unforeseen circumstances or factors beyond our control. These may include, but are not limited to, weather conditions, road accessibility, vehicle maintenance requirements, and staff availability, such as driver illness.

Vibes Morocco Trip reserves the right to make necessary adjustments to the logistics of your tour based on our professional judgment, local expertise, and real-time conditions to ensure the safety and satisfaction of your experience.

Gratuities

Gratuities are at your discretion but are a significant portion of the income in these professions and a part of the culture. After client requests to include tour director and driver tips in the tour fare, we conducted a survey. The feedback was overwhelmingly opposed to including tips. In general, the guidelines are between 10% and 20% of the total price for each tour director and driver. The most discreet method is to place the tip in an envelope and on the final day either hand it to the tour director or driver or leave it on his or her seat.

It always depends on whether or not you are satisfied with the service, but here are some general guidelines:
– Tour guide/driver: 10-20% of tour price per group
– Local guides: $4-10 per person for every 3 hours of service.
– Meals: In general, 12-15% of the pre-tax bill.
– Chambermaid: $2 per person per night. This is especially important when you have multiple nights in one hotel.
– Luggage handling: $1 per bag.

Note: Tips for luggage handling in hotels are usually included. Transfer driver with luggage handling: $2-5 per person.
