Gardens of Marrakech

The timeless city of Marrakech, which gave its name to Morocco, has an enduring appeal, with its low-rise pink and red buildings set against the magnificent backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Malta has a long and distinguished relationship with Britain and has been a popular destination for many decades. In 2018, the country really came of age as its ancient capital, Valetta, was European City of Culture, so now is a great time to visit with the city looking its best.

Group reviews

“Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful week in Tavira and the surrounding areas of the Algarve. We had to work hard but we did experience many sides of Portugal that many travellers to the area would not see. Fishing, vineyards, olives, cork, salt and so much history. Luis was brilliant and to guide us in English too. Ellen worked hard with you designing the programme and then keeping the show always running.” Exmoor Extroverts – Authentic Algarve

“Like Mary Poppins, the trip was practically perfect in every possible way. Everyone is thrilled. Thank you for all your efforts and patience.” Cleveland Hiking Club – The Ancient Trails of Greece

“The trip was a great success with uniformly positive feedback. The Douro valley trip was excellent. Braga, Guimares and Porto were all delightful and Coimbra was also a good addition that all enjoyed. All three guides were first class, as was Angela, and the Vox headsets were invaluable.” The Arts Society Ebor – Porto & Lisbon

“All went well with our trip to Garsington. Highlights were-of course-the opera and Sulgrave which was especially lovely in the sun and blue skies.” Friends of York Art Gallery – Garsington Opera

“I enjoyed the tour very much and wanted to let you know that Gill was an excellent tour manager and looked after us very well. Nothing was too much trouble and any problems that might have cropped up were anticipated and dealt with without fuss. Peter our driver was excellent too.” Friends of the RSA tour of the Netherlands

“We had to write and tell you how much we and our group enjoyed our holiday with Jane for the past week, she went out her way to ensure that we saw the best locations and were given ample opportunities and time to wear our cameras out! We must also add our thanks to our driver Nikos. Jane and Nikas work very well together as a team and are a credit to, and excellent ambassadors for Travel Editions!” Windlesham & Camberley Camera Club – Epirus and Corfu

“Just to let you know that all went well and according to plan. Justin the driver was a great hit, very jolly and added to the enjoyment. Lovely coach too. The hotel did excellent breakfasts and our room on the 6th floor was great. Many thanks to you and others at Travel Editions for the big part you played in organising our very successful trip.” Kew Volunteers – Norfolk
