What other groups have done with Discover
Below are a few examples of what we arrange for other groups in Morocco — to give you an idea of the variety of opportunities, the contrasting environments, themes that can be explored, and the experiences open to you.
Brighton College
Sunday Times Independent School of the Decade
"We contacted Discover with only a few months to go before our planned trip. Katharine and Kate were very informative and easy to liaise with, helping pull together everything required and giving us all the possible options along the way. Our trip combined geography, RS and French pupils, so we were looking for an itinerary that suited the range of interests and Discover were excellent at balancing the different interests. Even with our concerns about the heatwave that was forecast the week before we left, they helped put contingency plans into place and reassured us that we could still have a fulfilling experience. It is fantastic that Discover has such close local connections in Morocco and our guide Sidi was flexible at managing any day-to-day changes to the itinerary with organising the transport, meal times and activities. We always felt cared for and safe knowing Sidi and the team in the UK would be there whenever needed. Exploring the contrasts of Marrakesh and Imlil across the short trip we had was the perfect way for pupils to learn about the diverse culture and environments the country hosts. Access to all the online resources was a big bonus too!
The biggest thank you to the team at Discover.
