I had a great time. Matt is a wonderful addition to the crew. Food was fantastic, volunteer responsibilities were very meaningful and all of the little extra things that we do along the way are fabulous. I love mixing with the locals and seeing what kinds of work they do. They work so hard and never complain. We covered a lot of territory and the van was very comfortable and a great way to get around. I would definitely recommend this location. Just remember to always have toilet paper in your pockets. and at Atlas Mountain hotel. They really shorted us on TP in all of the rooms, but we managed to scrounge up some. But when traveling abroad, that’s a common issue. My only complaint or really constructive feedback, is that I wish you would push to use less plastic or find hotels that had filtered water in the room or at least 5-gallon water bottles to refill ours. I am the only one that didn’t buy or use water from plastic bottles. I brought my own water bottle that filtered water and/or i boiled water in the hotel rooms to drink the following day when that was an option. Morocco doesn’t recycle. They burn the plastic. Thats’ a little disturbing. And we didn’t get an EVA blue shirt. One of my favorite colors and I was looking forward to that. Even if we had to pay for it. But that’s definitely not a reason to take away from the trip. It’s more of a memory to share with others while we wear the shirt.

Wonderful. Great organization, Sheila our great Leader, constantly checked on us to make sure we're ok and enjoying the experience. The accommodation, where possible was top notch, 5 star, the very knees of the beez! And the food was tremendous. The experiences were life changing. We've learned many things about Cambodia that will stay with us for ever. It's an emotional tour, but well balanced, with plenty fun injected not to turn it into tragical history tour. We lost the odd nights sleep due to daft weather, that can't be helped. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly always open to question and suggestion. We've got new friends for life. Of course not everything was perfect for everyone, but as overview those small forgettable qualms have already faded from memory. I'd love to do another 'Eva Tour'

This trip is magical and has something rich and rewarding for everyone. Combining the give back 3 day project and exploration of the Imperial cities of Northern Morocco we experienced the communities, the culture and the warmth of the Moroccan people first hand. We started off in Marrakech which is colourful, fast and furious and a little crazy. Our work give back was at a school in Imlil up in the Atlas Mountains where we renovated the school yard and the toilet block - plastering, painting and stencilling with of course time out to play with the kids, soooo rewarding. We continued our journey to the Agafay desert for our sunset camel ride and the glamping experience, one of the highlights of the trip for me and then onto the port of Essaouria (far to many vowels to ever remember how to spell it correctly) with its hippie vibe and fabulous arts and crafts markets. We spent a morning on the beach - clean up work! and it was great that so many locals thanked us for what we were doing and 3 or 4 even joined us! Of course coffee club is well defined by now and they do have amazing coffee vans plotted up offering specials. Casablanca! Yes in all the gin joints in all the cities in the world who wouldn’t end up in Ricks cafe? Also in Casablanca is the most beautiful Hassan II mosque which welcomes non- Muslims to visit (outside of prayer times). On day 12 we said farewell to our Julie and our Matt who were not joining for the bolt on. I am hoping to travel again with Julie on another EVA tour and a big hug for an am- azing guy Matt. Thanks for looking after us as host and adding fun and funk to our adventures 🤪. So, onto Rabat (go find the book man Mohammed Aziz and google his amazing story) and the beautiful Andalusian gardens. Fes is a madhouse! 9000 winding alleys in a labyrinth that even the locals get lost in. The alleys are so narrow that vehicles cannot access and they use donkeys every day to collect trash from the residences within! We had a wonderful full day tour including food and treats along the way. And so finally to Chefchaouen - the blue city- be ready to take so many photos of the beautiful streets and houses and the views from atop. So, after my blurb - a big big thank you to Hassan our guide, your energy and humour is infectious and know you work so hard 24/7 to ensure everything goes to plan. Many thanks to our local guides Hisham in Marrakech, Hassamira in Rabat and Zak in Fes - wow! A special shout out to Yiannis our driver who is THE best driver on the road - not just our driver but our companion too who also looked after us well. One more shout out to the Moroccan people - thank you for looking after your many street cats and (but just a few)dogs - I’ve never seen or experienced that before 😻. Morocco - tick. I wouldn’t hesitate in saying just go!

The trip was very well organised, included some superb locations and accommodation that exceeded my expectations. Matt and the team were fabulous - very efficient, nothing was too much trouble and were fun company too! A great first experience of group travel for me. Would definitely recommend.

The trip was exceptional! Loved the vehicle we travelled in. So much space and comfortable. Matt was so compassionate and accommodating to our requests and needs. Love Morocco, food was excellent. Local tour guides in Rabat and Fes were fantastic. Marrekesh tour guide was to soft spoken and long winded. Loved our desert night and camel ride but really would have loved to see the Sahara.
