Tour of Morocco, is this a good one?
 
Trying to decide between the two tours below for mid Sept - early Oct 2014. It is my first time, and I'm wondering if the tours cover everything I need to see. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. I'll be going alone, which is why I opted for a tour. Any thoughts/advice/opinions?

Which is the second tour? Your second link pulls up several.

Have never traveled with what was GAP, I went to Morocco with Intrepid.

This is the second trip. I want to see as much of Morocco as I can. Which Intepid tour did you go on?

I would go on the second. Less time in Marrakesh plus it adds Chefchaouen.

This is probably the closest to the Intrepid tour I took:

I spent a few hours today looking at Intrepid tours and I think I've converted. Trying to decide between Morocco Encompassed and Morocco Experience. I really want to see Essaouira, so I'm leaning towards Morocco Encompassed. Do you think this is a good choice?

Also, any idea why G Adventures seems to cost subtantially more than Intrepid, specifically when comparing the comfort tours in Morocco.

Note that it is very, very easy to do Essaouira on your own. Just take a bus from Marrakesh. Since it is a chill-out kind of place, probably better on your own. No idea about the price difference, did you look at the start and end hotels for comparison?

I agree thursdaysd I did Essaouira on my own and it was so easy place.
