The only tour I've done was a Christian Pilgrimage tour to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. I like to do travel on our own, but I think some locations really do need a tour so I wouldn't be opposed to doing it again in the future!Carol {Everyday Delights}https://www.blogger.com/profile/11790385373209411408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-26551500769397494372011-09-02T06:19:46.818-04:002011-09-02T06:19:46.818-04:00Loved this tour of Fez - I have a passion for Moro...Loved this tour of Fez - I have a passion for Morocco, its culture, its charm, its atmosphere. Went to Marrakech and Ouarzazate (South) 3 years ago. It was during Ramadan and I remember me and my friends went for a tour of this small city one evening and at the end of the market one of the merchant called Abdu invited us for tea and show us his shop - Ali Baba Treasure place. We were like in another planet, another century - he told us everything was less extensive than free (Funny when we realized the real price of each piece we wanted to buy!!!). It was such an amazing experience we brought our friends with us the next day. <br /><br />Depending on the country, tour-guided or on our own. Loves both, different styles for different mood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-84511493999247513712011-08-30T04:47:27.887-04:002011-08-30T04:47:27.887-04:00This is such a beautiful post!

I don't like to do guided tours when I travel, I like to explore a new place by myself (and if possible, by walking, not using any means of transportation), but I agree, sometimes a guide is needed. One of my favourite with the people memory is from Istanbul, from the Grand Bazaar, where, among bargening for souveniers, we were invited in a kind of a coffee shop where we were served the best Turkish coffee in the world and they showed us how they made it. And one other memory is from this year in Berlin, when we stopped to eat at an Italian restaurant and I remarked that the waiter was Italian, so I started a conversation in Italian. He proudly said: "I am not an Italian, I am a Sicilian." ;)<br />Adaclassiqhttp://classiq.ro/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-13539467214907798042011-08-28T16:46:33.650-04:002011-08-28T16:46:33.650-04:00My husband and I travelled through Morocco a few y...My husband and I travelled through Morocco a few years ago and completely fell in love with.

I always just assumed it was a hat! So glad you introduced it to me! It sounds like you experienced the authentic side of Morocco which is the best way to see places (I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to eating in questionable holes in the wall which is a shame because I know I am missing out on these kinds of experiences).Meghan @ Wishful Thinkinghttp://my-wishfulthinking.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-50745965482940755032011-08-25T06:55:39.427-04:002011-08-25T06:55:39.427-04:00fez is now added to my european travel list, austr...fez is now added to my european travel list, australia and asia frist!Bird Bug Pughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238651343337301348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-11941590266890356772011-08-25T00:25:59.513-04:002011-08-25T00:25:59.513-04:00Wow, looks amazing.

What I love about mission trips in Jamaica is working with the people there. They openly come and help you share stories and sing right along side you.
