Is there a site compares tour operators?
 

Hello,
Is there a site like tripadvisor which reviews tour operators?

Has anyone been with Gap adventures ,Guerba or Trek-Holidays? Morocco precisely?

How small is small?
how good are hotels? food?
IS staff knowledgeable?
We don't want to rough it all that much- maybe a berber tent experience....
The group mostly on the young or old side?
thanks

Never heard of those tour providers... but there is one website you can look at: Affordable Tours has a Travel Talk where you can read people's opinions on all kind of tours and tour companies they are selling.

I received this in the mail from a cruise agency that I've dealt with in the pass....it attempts to rate the major tour providers and the services they provide using the cruise industry rating system.Here, for what it's worth....

I did a walking tour with Guerba in August 2004 in the Swiss/French Alps. The group had 10 people. It was very inexpensive and they didn't try to sell me optional excursions. We did not stay at a hotel, it was a chalet, which was sort of like staying in a house. I thought this was a refershing change. The average age of the group was somewhere around 30. I would travel w/Guerba again in a heartbeat.

thanks for all your help...though i see no such rate a tour site exists.BTW, the first site covers all the major mainstream tour operators Colette,globus etc - it has no adventure or overland tours....
we're going with Gap adventures.we'll see.

Try the Lonely Planet website. There might not be a comparison, but are likely to find others who have traveled with these companies and they'll have feed back for you.
