Itinerary
Day 1: Barcelona
Arrive at any time.
Because first impressions matter, begin your journey the right way - by heading out with your CEO and group for drinks. Explore and unwind in Barcelona's most renowned neighbourhoods for nightlife - El Raval, El Born, or The Gothic Quarter.
We highly recommend arriving a day early to experience all that this incredible city has to offer.
Please note: if popular sights like La Sagrada Família or Parc Güell are on your must-see list in Barcelona, we highly recommend purchasing tickets online several months prior to your trip to guarantee admission.
Day 2: Barcelona/Madrid
Enjoy an orientation walk along Las Ramblas. Take some time to visit the Gaudí buildings, or explore the Gothic Quarter before boarding an afternoon train to Madrid.
Day 3: Madrid
Enjoy Spain's beautiful capital on an orientation walk. Free time to visit its many sites, from art museums to sprawling squares. Enjoy a night out with the group. Madrid's nightlife is world renowned!
Day 4: Madrid/Granada
Take advantage of free time in the morning to further explore Madrid before transferring to Granada in the afternoon.
Day 5: Granada
Enjoy an orientation walk in Granada. Opt to relax in one of the many hammam baths around town. Enjoy a tapas bar crawl with the group in the evening. First drink's on us.
A trip to Granada wouldn't be the same without a night on the town; the city is filled with trendy tapas bars and has a lively music scene.
Day 6: Granada/Seville
Journey to Seville and take an orientation walk with your CEO before some free time to explore. Opt to visit the Real Alcázar, a Moorish palace, or take in an evening flamenco show.
Day 7: Seville/Lagos
Cross into Portugal, and enjoy the Algarve Coast.
Day 8: Lagos
Spend the day on the Algarve with free time for hiking, water activities, or chilling out oceanside.
Day 9: Lagos/Lisbon
Journey up the coast to Portugal's vibrant capital, and enjoy an orientation walk. Free time to visit Cristo Rei for sweeping views of the area, check out the monuments of the Belem neighbourhood, or relax in a café. Indulge in the town's great nightlife on your Big Night Out.
Day 10: Lisbon/Casablanca
Fly to Casablanca and enjoy free time in Morocco's largest city.
Today, new travellers may join you for the rest of your adventure. You are welcome to join them at a group meeting this evening.
Day 11: Casablanca/Chefchaouen
With a good night's sleep behind you, set out from Casablanca. With the bright blue waters of the Atlantic to your left and the sun drenched wonders of Morocco to your right, travel up the coast to Morocco's capital city, Rabat. Stretch your legs as you wander the ramparts and colourful alleys of the city's old quarter. Take in breathtaking views from Kasbah des Oudaias, then indulge in lunch. After you've eaten the hangry away, continue toward Chefchaouen. Here, beneath the soaring Rif mountains, feeling the blues takes on a different meaning. Take an orientation walk through the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen before settling in for the night.
Day 12: Chefchaouen
Hoping for free time to explore all Chefchaouen has to offer? Wish granted! Spend your day taking in the splendor of the city and it's surrounding geography. If the (Rif) Mountains are calling, you should definitely answer. Opt to pre-book the Rif Valley Mountains Hike. Or, opt to visit the Spanish Mosque for breathtaking sunset views of the city.
Day 13: Chefchaouen/Fès
Fès awaits! Upon arrival, put your free time to good use by visiting an Amazigh (or Berber) pharmacy (a far cry from the kind of pharmacy you may be used to at home). Wander the many mazes of Fès's colourful, ancient tanneries.
Day 14: Fès
With so much to see, another free day in Fès is always a good idea. Breathe in decadent spices (oxygen is for the weak anyway, right?) as you sample treats from the many food carts scattered throughout the medina. Explore the artisan quarters as you take in the city that is often referred to as the cultural heart of Morocco.
Day 15: Fès/Marrakech
After getting back on the road and watching the scenery roll by, arrive in vibrant, bustling Marrakech. Spend the evening exploring the gardens, souks, and other wonders of Marrakech.
Day 16: Marrakech
Parting is such sweet sorrow, but perhaps consider booking a few extra nights in Marrakech to experience the city further.
Opt to get up early and catch the sunrise over Marrakech by pre-booking the Hot Air Balloon excursion. Please ensure you allow enough time to return from the activity when planning your onward journey.

I think this style travel does not suit us anymore. Lack of sleep in hostels and fast travel is hard on the body. I would recommend classic to my family

Stamatia D. - Traveled, August 2023
I think GA is great for seeing as much of the world as you can in a shorter amount of time. I wish the company did better to help customers understand the type of lifestyle the 18-30 something tours provide, so they can decide if that's a good fit for them. The CEO is responsible for a lot, and I know on my two tours I've taken, travelers wished that they had more information in advance about transportation and what not, rather than the day before or the day of. I would hope that the company would do better at communicating about how much money to prepare to pay outside of the primary charges (like tipping, estimations for food, etc.), essentially give the traveler the most information they can so that they can plan better!

My first part of the trip was incredible and I had the most amazing guide Vanessa in Spain and Portugal. I've given an 8 for the Moroccan leg of the trip as the guides weren't very good.
