Chris & Steve (Morocco Road Tour Sept/Oct 2016)
"Hi John and Brigitte
A long overdue "Thank You Letter."
The Moroccan Road Raid this Sept/Oct was truly awesome and a great success and I enjoyed every bit of it. In fact it far exceeded my expectations.
The mountains, the passes, the gorges the desert and the hotels and places we visited were fantastic, as were the people - friendly, courteous and helpful. The riding was varied and always interesting and I feel my confidence and riding skills have benefited enormously
The trip was brilliantly led by you and Brigitte and your long term deep knowledge of and clear affection for Morocco and it's people were obvious. This no doubt aided in the "seamless" management. of the trip. Minor hassles were quickly dealt with. Assisted no doubt by your imperturbable and unflappable nature, Brigitte's skill in allocating hotel rooms and clever forward planning when it came to organizing the beer at the end of the day!!
All in all, a trip to remember for a long long time.
I am so glad I did it!
I don't think you have seen the last of me.
Many thanks

"Thank you for allowing us to join you for what has been very much a once in a lifetime trip for myself and of course one of lasting memories for us both. We were sad to see you left behind and waving us on from the motorcycle deck.
As we descended ..to our beautiful harbour drive we just wanted to shout to everybody and anybody "we've just had this most amazing adventure" but of course nobody would have heard or understood our excitement.
We shall miss everybody. Many thanks till next trip"

"Hi John & Brigitte,
I travelled 4,000 miles lads door to door and enjoyed every mile every minute and more importantly every person on the tour.The whole experience was just amazing and its actually impossible to put into words the level of enjoyment and good fun I experienced on the tour.
It's a wonderful feeling to return home knowing that you have made some very very good and solid life long friends while away on holidays.
Well done to you both and roll on Sept. 2014 and the next tour.
P.S. Will definitely make a big effort to meet up with you guys before then."
Norman S. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"John/Brigitte
A quick note of thanks for everything you did to make our Morocco trip so successful and enjoyable.
Your organisation was exemplary but, importantly, with a light touch which really made things relaxed and helped the group gel.
I am sure many people, like me, are wary about joining a group of strangers for a 17 day tour. My advice to them would be to just do it.
We had a great group who really got on well and the best testimony I can offer is that if the guys are up for the three islands tour next year, count me in!
Best Regards"
Bill D. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"Morning John and Brigitte,
A week after my return from this amazing adventure and I’m still trying to let it all sink in, it was the most wonderful adventure I have ever experienced on my motorcycle. Sincere thanks to you both. Myself and Norman are planning our next trip with the WILDCATS and will be in touch shortly.When we forget where we have been and what we have seen, we will never forget who we were with.
Thanks again"
Eamonn G. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"Hello to all you wildcat people, hope you are both well rested after the trip to Morroco.
Thanks a million to the both of you for giving me the holliday of a lifetime."
Norman S. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"John/Brigitte
Thanks again for a great trip.
Not sure we could have expected anything more from the tour which was well organised and very professional with great roads, great accommodation and great scenery. I am glad we choose Wildcat and we would certainly consider another tour with yourselves and would happily recommend you to others in the future.
Thanks again for a great trip and hope to see you again soon."
David & Trudi (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"Hello John and Brigitte,
I have been home, at work and back to normality for just over a week now and have had time to reflect on the recent Morocco tour we have just completed.
What an absolutely fabulous trip from start to finish. It will stay in my memory for a lifetime. All of the riding on the whole trip was great but especially the many hot sunny days in Morocco and along the southern desert landscapes and back to Marrakesh. The Tiz n Test pass must be up there with the Stelvio and Grossglockner etc for roads that have to be ridden.
All of the accommodation was first class but special praise must be given to the fantastic riads / kasbahs you arranged for us. The whole trip far exceeded my expectations.
A big thank you to Brigitte for ensuring the entry and exit to Morocco was minimum hassle..and also for having my room key waiting at every nights stop as soon as we had parked up. A big thank you to you both for arranging, at very short notice, the separate rooms for myself and Bill.
The whole itinary was just about perfect from the disciplined morning start times to all of the fabulous stopping points along the way and all of the local attractions. I took nearly 400 photos and have looked at them many times already but I am looking forward to the ones on the website soon.
It was also a pleasure to have met all of the group and got on so well together with everybody. I cannot remember one cross word the whole trip, which must be incredible as we all came from such varied backgrounds and had different riding styles etc. This surely must of been down to your fine leadership skills.
I am also very, very interested with joining up with you both on next year's three islands tour in September 2014.
Once again, thanks for a great trip and all the memories.Have a great summer riding on the rest of your tours.
Many, many thanks"
Neil C. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"Hello John Brigitte
Thanks for a good tour and good company - already thinking what or where next. All the best"
Tim H. (Morocco Road Tour April 2013)
"Dear all,
A late note to say hello to you all wherever you are and to thank John and Brigitte for providing a great biking experience in Morocco. It all made for a very memorable holiday.
Everyone who I can get to listen at home and at work has heard all about the trip, the great roads and the unseasonal weather we all experienced. It puts their beach holidays to shame.
I am still using the brake pads that John and Brigitte managed to arrange the remanufacture of in a lock-up on the outskirts of Marrakech - not many holidays offer that sort of experience of how the locals live!
The photographs that John and Brigitte took are great. The ones of our bikes in the snow look just like roads through the Scottish highlands."
Paul C (Morocco Road Tour April 2012)
"Dear John & Brigitte, This is just a quick note to say how much Brett and I enjoyed the recent Atlas Mountains extreme weather tour of Morocco! The company was excellent, the organization superb and the hotels plus the locals exceeded our expectations..
It is clear that we made the right choice in our tour operators and indeed we look forward to travelling with yourselves again in another distant land"
Andrew & Brett (Morocco Road Tour April 2012)
"Hi John, Just a wee word of thanks to you and Brigitte for looking after us and keeping things the right way up when conditions were challenging, its that which makes the difference between Wildcat and the rest.The quality of your organisation came through in the decision making and actions when conditions became challenging. The manner in which you handled the poor conditions near the beginning of the tour was a clear sign of Wildcat professionalism and experience coupled with intimate local knowledge.Now I will always remember to carry gear for all conditions and know where it is in my pack!"

"Hi John & Brigitte,
Stuart and I ..just wanted to send an email to say a massive THANK YOU for such a great holiday. Your knowledge and experience are outstanding and really makes the tour. You both went out of your way to support everyone in the group .. I have already downloaded our photos and will be constantly changing my screen saver to remind me of the last 18 days spent with you in Morocco."
Viv & Stuart (Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid May 2011)
"Hi John & Brigitte,
A wee note of thanks for a wonderful experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself right from the start.. until I got back home all down to your thorough planning, preparation and experience. I will have no hesitation recommending Wildcat Adventures to friends.
The KTM 640 has been serviced ..and I'm ready to go again, east of Turkey the 'Stans hold an attraction.Although smaller and less powerful than the other bikes I found the 640 a satisfactory bike being light and agile with good endurance and carrying capacity for one. Picking up a GS for the second time becomes a tedious burden. Again many thanks for opening my eyes to a wonderful world of bike adventure...........now where's that map of Kazakstan"
Mike S. (Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid May 2011)

"Hi John,
Just a couple of lines to thank you and Brigitte for an excellent trip. I had a remarkable time and your organisation was second to none."
Chris (Harley Davidson Sportster) (Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid Oct 2009)
"Hi John & Brigitte,
... now that you have got us back safe and sound I thought I would take this opportunity to thank you both very much for all your efforts in making our recent trip a great adventure – once again.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything and consider that the new and exciting routes were extremely good and different from the previous year – which again was a great adventure for a whole different set of reasons.
It was lovely to meet a new bunch of people and comforting that we all got on.
You are both great hosts and I look forward to my next trip"
Dave (Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid Oct 2009 )
"Hi ya John and Brigitte,
Thanks again for a great time in Morocco. I would like to say that having travelled Morocco with you last year, and having had such a good time, I thought I would give it another go. You don't always take everything in the first time.Then I noticed the route had changed, with more time towards the south, even better. Well you didn't disappoint, a very good mix of roads, scenery and mileages.
I thought the idea of employing a clown to travel with us was great (you know who you are Ian). But it's not just where you go that makes it special - it's the people you travel with. A really nice group.
Your professionalism, knowledge of Morocco and experience mean't a stress free, much enjoyed adventure tour.
Thanks again

"Dear John and Brigitte,
We had a fantastic time in Morocco, largely thanks to you both.
We both learnt a great deal about Morocco and ourselves on the tour!
You asked for feedback..We thought the tour was perfect...
You will be getting another booking from us in the future (interested in the pending Norway trip and possibly Turkey at some stage) and have gushed madly about "Wildcat" to our friends!
Looking forward to seeing your photos.
Thanks again,"
Kim and Roger ( Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid Oct 2009)
"Hi John
Just a few lines regarding the Morocco tour, it was a fantastic holiday and very well organised by yourself and Brigitte.
The only way to tour Morocco is by someone like yourself who's vast experience and love of the country attributed greatly to the holiday and also your ability to answer any questions regarding the country and its history.
One of the highlights for myself was the great cross section of country that we visited and the roads that we rode all told a great holiday so many thanks again John & Brigitte
P.S. looking forward to the next one ."
Jim C (Morocco Atlas Mountains Raid April 2008)
"If you fancy an Adv in Morocco You’ll not go wrong with Wildcat Adventures John and Brigitte know the country well.
Oh and you don’t need a GS or 1290 KTM for the black stuff tour."
Norman M (Morocco "Atlas Mountains Raid 2008)
"John & Brigitte,
Having just returned from the Morocco Trip, I just have to say a huge thank you to you both for what I can only describe as the best time I have ever spent on a bike ( and I have had some bloody brilliant one's).
The trip was superbly organised and has given me a huge desire for further adventure. I will be booking with you for another trip in the future. The company of those participating was superb and I really doubt there is little that could be done, other than doubling the amount of time that we had.
I can honestly say, I laughed loads and experienced new sights, sounds and smells and lost count of the amount of wows I said to myself.
All I can say to anyone thinking of doing such a trip is do it, (I was not originally going with Wildcat, but am I pleased I did). Also do not worry about what bike to ride (I did it on the cheapest and smallest bike on the trip a BMW F800s and it was fine).
A thousand thanks....
See you soon and a massive massive vote of thanks, your organisations skills were superb, I could rabbit on and on, but am going to try and fix up a ride report when I can (Work etc)."
