Is TourRadar Worth It? Our honest review after booking our Morocco tour
When you're spending anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand euro on a holiday, it's fair to ask whether TourRadar is actually worth booking through. We asked ourselves exactly the same thing before our first TourRadar trip.
We're Nicola and Padraig from Two for the Row'd, an Irish travel couple who've visited more than 60 countries between us. We booked a multi-day Morocco tour through TourRadar — and looking back, we'd happily do it again.
What is TourRadar?
What is TourRadar?
TourRadar is an online marketplace that lets you compare thousands of organised tours from hundreds of operators all over the world. Instead of booking directly with dozens of individual companies, TourRadar lets you compare itineraries, prices, inclusions, reviews and availability — all in one place.
For destinations like Morocco, Egypt, Costa Rica and Madagascar, that saves hours of research.
They've also recently launched TourRadar+, a free loyalty program that applies an automatic saving of up to 3%, 5% or 7% at checkout depending on your level — no code required. It's a genuinely nice addition since we made our own Morocco booking, and one of the reasons we'd book through them again. Here's how TourRadar+ works →
Why we chose TourRadar for Morocco
Normally we organise every trip ourselves. Morocco felt different. We wanted someone else to organise hotels, transport between cities, the desert camp, local guides, and all the logistics in between.
Instead of spending weeks planning, everything was organised before we even landed.
Our Morocco experience
Our tour included:
- Marrakech
- Atlas Mountains
- Aït Benhaddou
- Ouarzazate
- Todra Gorge
- Sahara Desert Camp
- Fes
Some of our favourite memories were watching sunset over the Sahara, meeting local Berber families, sleeping under the stars, and driving through incredible mountain scenery. It remains one of our favourite trips.
Pros and cons of booking through TourRadar
✅ Pros
- Huge choice of tours
- Genuine customer reviews
- Easy comparison between operators
- Secure online booking
- Lots of departure dates
- TourRadar+ automatic savings up to 7% on every booking
- Excellent for countries where organising transport yourself is more difficult
⚠️ Cons
- Always read exactly what's included
- Flights usually aren't included
- Some tours have optional extras
- Prices can change depending on departure date
- Nobody warns you about the altitude on the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2,000m+) — expect a headache for a few hours, and the Sahara camp gets properly cold at night once the sun drops, so pack a warm layer even if you've spent the day sweating in Marrakech
Would we use TourRadar again?
Absolutely. In fact, we're currently researching Madagascar tours through TourRadar for our next big adventure. For complicated destinations where there's a lot of travelling between places, we'd choose an organised tour again without hesitation — and with TourRadar+ now applying an automatic saving on top, it feels like even better value than when we first booked.
Is TourRadar legit?
Yes. We've booked through them ourselves, we've travelled on one of their tours, and we're official TourRadar RISE Ambassadors — meaning TourRadar has approved us to recommend tours through our own partner profile, based on our track record as genuine travellers.
That doesn't mean every single operator will suit every traveller — but TourRadar itself is a well-established platform with thousands of tours worldwide.
Our verdict
Would we recommend TourRadar?
Yes — especially if you're travelling somewhere unfamiliar, you don't want to organise every hotel yourself, you enjoy small group travel, or you want to compare hundreds of tours in one place.
