We made it guys 😍🎉👏 we drove all the way from the UK to Africa in our lorry, Tori! And it's pretty clear that we are loving it so far! It might be a little different to what we expected, but in an absolutely, this is thrilling sort of way and we cannot wait to see what experiences Morocco is going to give us during our time here.
We're going to be spending 3 months in Morocco, so this is going to be quite the trip of a lifetime and we hope you'll enjoy touring along with us 😆

Welcome to marocco ❤
Just started following your Journey guys (I've done it a bit backwards as I first saw your returning back from Morocco first), its great that you've put together a great Vlog for everyone to follow, really good to hear your experiences travelling in your 7.5 ton van conversion. Really appreciate your vlog, keep up the great series and looking forward to seeing more for 2024
I noticed the children sitting behind the driver and passenger seats are struggling to see the scenery as you travel. Have you considered installing windows so they can observe the scenery without having to twist around?. Really appreciate all your efforts in producing your videos. They keep you wanting more.
Thanks for watching! We are getting windows installed on our return to the UK in Spring
My favourite country for a vacation! So close to Europe yet it is a totally different world! I've been there a couple of times but flew in and rented cars. Hopefully on one of the next trips I'll be able to visit Morocco with my little adorable van.
Welcome to Morocco ❤ enjoy your time 🎉
We will, thank you 😊
Check out Roaming Radford's tour of Morocco, they stayed at some amazing places.
Great to have found your volgs of Morocco guys! We're planning on going over in our campervan next year (after renovations) Or perhaps it's cheaper to get it done there 🤔
Bit of a We're the Millers moment there 😅
Great videos. A couple thoughts from seeing the kids in the back bench seat of the cab.
Could you put a couple windows on either side so the boy in the back doesn’t have to sit sideways to see anything?I’m assuming it’s happening on the other side but it’s hardly ever on video.
Secondly, could you somehow pop the front of the bench seat up or the individual car seats propped up under the front so the kids are reclined just a bit I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t appreciate sitting that straight up like the troopers in the back do all the time.
Just a grandma here looking out for the littles. 😉 ❤
I feel sorry for the kids, all 3 look bored out of the minds sat in the back with 90 degree seat backs,& what looks to be no leg room (not surprising as that’s designed for a bed) and no windows.
They were actually engrossed in a movie in some of the clips. Please don't 'feel sorry' for them, they are comfortable and happy
Hey! Aw not to worry, we have windows on order to be fitted when we get back to the UK. Unfortunately we had a delay getting them before we came out to Europe. The kids are usually kept busy with reading, or watching films, or colouring. They are quite happy 😊
I must agree that the kids look so uncomfortable. Their seats look like such an after thought just bolted to the cab wall at a 90deg angle. It can't be comfortable 😞
Cool you reached so many subscribers! I hope your next adventures will be extraordinary and wonderful. Have a great time in Morocco! From Beth
Great video! How exciting for you all! Have fun and stay safe 👍
Thank you! Will do!
You arrived -Woop Woop and to a very warm welcome. Looks wonderful and great new experiences for Piper, Jack &Teddy. Looking forward to your adventures. Maybe do a few coatings for your eating out trips, love to know how much your family meal was. So sad though seeing the teeny kittens 😪
Hey 👋, we've arrived and it's amazing. We've had 2 meals out now and both cost similar at around 300MAD which is about £24.35, not bad for a nice meal for 5!
We'll definitely be showing more of the food as we continue our journey, the food is insane!
Been following you on Instagram for a while and just subscribed here. I live in Spain part of the year and am visiting Morocco for a month in Feb so have found your posts really interesting. Hope you enjoy your time there.
Ah cool, that's awesome. Where abouts in Morocco are you planning on going? It's an amazing place 👍
Welcome in Morocco have a great holiday 🇲🇦🇲🇦💗💗
Thank you, we're looking forward to exploring more of this incredible country
@@Touringwiththekids Thank you for your point of view and you are welcome and we are happy to see a beautiful family like your family in our country this is your second country take care of yourself 💖🙏💖
I'd love to become a channel member, but like Ric I'm a cheepass! :-D
Besides, when you mentioned 'exclusive content' my bad mind remembered Ric's attempt last year to wind Keira up with comments about only fans!
Your videos are improving all the time (they've always been good) - so glad I found the time to watch your 30min video (just before you got to Gibraltar) and catch up finally (my mind won't let me watch them out of order and I hate skipping videos - seems wrong given the effort you put into them!) - are you more relaxed than when you were fitting out Tori / when you drove through a stormy northern France - you seem to have more of your sparkle back
Thanks for taking us with you to these wonderful places - apart from not having the health to adventure, I'm too much of a cheepass!
Haha brilliant 🤣🤣 yes we've definitely got a spring in our step here in Morocco, it's better than we thought it would be 🤩
Hi guys , great to see you all still loving your life ❤️ What an amazing adventure ,The children are getting bigger now ,,what memories you are giving them ,,They are just adorable please stay safe ,,❤🥰
Thanks so much! 😊 Almost time to celebrate another one of their birthdays! The years go so quickly!
Morocco is a great place 👌🏻
100% Agree!!!
Good to see you all having a great time in Morocco thanks for another entertaining video.
Our pleasure! Really glad you enjoyed it ☺️
How exciting that you are finally there woot woot! Glad you had a great first experience on entry and am looking forward to seeing Morocco through your lens. Have a blast, you lovely family!
Thank you so much!! Really have had the best first impressions ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Hi, we're really enjoying watching your adventures , the warmer weather your getting makes us both envious, just one thing i was wondering about , maybe you've already said or been asked, what happened to the electric bike you had? . I thought that would be a handy item to have around for those short shopping trips if you were parked up out of town?
Amazing glad your having a good time 🎉
Thankyou. Loving it so far!
Glad you're there and settling in! Love the places you squeeze that Lorry, some cracking driving from Ric 😂
Thanks 👍
enjoy your time
Thank you 😊
Morocco looks amazing. Keep up the great videos. 😊😊
Thankyou ☺️ it's blowing us away at the moment, cannot wait to share more! Thanks for becoming a member to keep us touring 🤗
@@Touringwiththekidsyou are very welcome 🤗
The Moroccans are lovely people if you’re friendly and polite to them they will be nice to you .
Two great words to learn are excuse spelling ;shockran (thanks) la shockran (no thank you).
And they all love kids.
Relax and have an amazing time.❤
So far, we 100% agree, very friendly and helpful people. Yes, knowing the basics is important as not much English is spoken. Arabic and French are the languages here 👍
Well done on your channel update 🙌 Looking forward to following your travels through Morocco! Stay safe 💛
Thankyou so much!
Welcome in MOROCCO et Bon voyage les amis

Morocco is an awesome country, truly unique in all aspects. People also sometimes spread fake rumors about Morocco, but it is an awesome place to visit, many people come back multiple times because of the lovely experience. Plus the Moroccan food, is just wow...
We agree, Morocco is an amazing place, and the food is definitely wow. We still have over 2 months here and are looking forward to every second 😀
Assillah city deserve more i'think.thier fish restaurants is the best in Morocco 🙂
Dont forget to visit Agadir and Taghazout area, also Essaouira ...nice beaches , surf spots etc...
Welcome to morocco any time❤🇲🇦
Thankyou so much!!! Amazing country from our experience so far. We're having the BEST time!

Great video! Excited for next week.
Thanks Cathy!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip xx
Thankyou! Lots more to come x
Great video I'm sure you will love Morocco as much as many people. Its nice country and kind people and cheap for visit or tourist. I been many times in Marrakech but i want go by my car this April from London. little advice always make challenge for the price when you buy things as clothes or similar. Don't pay when they tell you always go down. Try to go to orika its nice mountains and you can have food on the river coming down from the mountains. Keep up the good work and enjoy youer lovely trip. Looking forward for you next video.
Sounds bliss, thanks for the tip 👍 So far we are loving it, but Marrakesh may be a whole different story 😂 haggling is gonna be interesting!
That ferry looked amazing. Never been on one that put high vehicles anywhere other than on the lower deck. That ramp looked scary.
I had forgotten about Morocco being mostly Muslim. The call to prayer always grates on my nerves, far more than I can possibly justify. I’d be on edge for ten minutes before it, waiting for it to start, near palpitations all through it and take some time to calm down afterwards. I have no idea why, or even how that started, but it means I won’t be visiting there. To be fair, I don’t like the Angelus bell at noon and 6, here either, but that’s much less obtrusive than the call to prayer.
I can usually ignore it and carry on with what I’m doing.
But then, I guess, that’s sort of the point. You’re not supposed to carry on with whatever you’re doing, are you? So maybe it’s like that for good reason. Doesn’t make me very prayerful, though. If anything, quite the opposite.
I skipped ahead a couple of seconds, when I heard it start.
There are water purification tablets that are a bit of a misnomer, but they do at least make the water safe. I’m having a senior moment and can’t remember what they’re called, but they are typically available in outdoorsy shops, caravan accessory outlets, marine chandlers and such places. Home brewers use something similar, so probably available through their outlets too, though obviously not in Morocco.
If you do get bad water in your tank, a flush through with one or two of those will sort it out.
I’m not brave enough to take the lorry on the continent, yet. I’m worried I might swipe a balcony off an ancient stone building that has no footpath outside and the balcony sticks out over the road. I’ve driven cars in such places and, as a hgv qualified driver, I’m constantly aware of overhead obstacles, even when they don’t actually affect me, so I’ve always wondered how they manage. I’ve never seen a sign warning that the street is narrower at a height than it is on the ground. In my nightmares, I’d successfully navigate half way up such a street, then discover I couldn’t get through and have to reverse back down, against the flow, with angry locals trying to get past. Shudder!
We went to Marrakech, it was ok, remember they don't use bottled water to wash and cook food. Don't shake left hand. Keep yourself covered up. A LOT of kids begging. Avoid people with snakes, monkeys, teeth!!, tattoo henna woman. If you go to Marrakech main souk market be sure to see the meat market with live demonstrations of poultry preparation including lots of blood, flies and filth. It's a good experience and makes you appreciate coming back to civilisation. ❤😊
Oh gosh, I'm not sure the kids and I would be able to stomach that 🙈
Hi guys fantastic to see you again
And having a great time
And I have to say that your kids are very very very well behaved they’re loving this amazing life
Good on you
I think you are a amazing family
☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
Thank you so much 😊 I can assure you they aren't always so perfectly behaved 😂 but thankyou for your lovely comment
@@Touringwiththekids
What can i say
Ever time the world sees your beauty videos your hole family is
An inspiration to the rest of world
And you are Englands and what a wonderful way to prove to the world 🌍 we English 🏴 and Irish are
🇮🇪 are very good people 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇪🏴
Hi guys love the video have a great time 😊
Thanks so much ❤️
Yep, we too tend to be the ones who get pulled at customs 😂🤣😅
Haha all part of the fun of it I suppose 😂
I loved Morroco we went to Marrakech can't wait for your next video stay safe x x❤
Ah amazing! We can't wait to explore there!
Just enjoyed your vlog, you said you got insurance at the border. Was that fully comprehensive as it’s difficult to get insurance for Morocco from the UK?
Hi, it's third party only insurance, so careful driving is needed for sure. We've heard stories of people getting fully comp from their UK provider but it's few and far between and expensive.
Done a fair bit of trekking in Morocco and great place and people. Just put your poker face on for the hassle factor you get. Worse in Marrakesh but the souk there is amazing! Enjoy the trip
Think the key must be confidence 👍
Don't you have a water filtration setup, an absolute essential when travelling like this?
Our water system has a strainer and carbon filter but no bacteria filter so mostly using Bottled water for drinking. Might have a look at a bacteria filter for the future
Enjoying your videos😊
Glad you like them! Thanks for following along with us x
Congregations love the videos 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Love your videos
Thankyou so much ❤️
What's with the Drones issue in Morocco?
Not sure really, maybe they see them as a security threat. We stored ours with Carlos (the ferry ticket man in Spain) for free. You can apply for a permit but I've heard it's a pain to get
I love your videos.
Thank you so much!!
heading to morocco in Oct for two weeks
Ah amazing!! I'm sure you are gonna love it. Where are you visiting?
@@Touringwiththekids Marrakesh Casablanca Atlas Mountains desert bit of everywhere
P S does Piper like dork diaries ? I love them from Beth
So excited for this x
Thanks Jay!
well, i thought you were going to announce you had started on child no. 4...
[well, there is space for another car-seat after all...]
enjoy
Hell no!!!
Hi how are you doing
hey!
Would you not have been allowed on the Tarifa to Tanger jet, its only 25 minutes.
Yeah probably, we just didn't fancy driving through Tanger 🙈
@@Touringwiththekids ah it's easy, off the jet first roundabout turn right follow your nose, my daughter lives in Meknes, easy journey. Stay safe, don't forget if you need a place to stay for any time I have land in Aragon Spain.
13:47 did someone have strong cuppa do to her sunglasses or was it cheap ass bought them lol
Even kids thought Morocco is a dusty country :D
a European calling any place on earth dusty is the mother of all ironies
