Our trip was amazing. Sharon and our driver Rafiq met our every need. My one and only complaint is the tipping situation. Every person (other than Sharon and our drivers) we encountered expected a tip. And, if they didn’t get the tip they expected they were visibly unhappy. Some even mumbling and stomping away. The tipping is out of control. We believed we had paid for everything in advance and did expected small tips for porters. But did not understand why tour guides and sales people expected tips.
Hotel Reviews
Didn’t stay here because they were having water issues. Stayed at Riad Dar Chrifa. Dar Chrifa was excellent. The host Michael (Toufal) was fantastic. He gave us info on Morocco, some of its customs and culture. He graciously attended to our every need and made us feel at home with his hospitality and humor. He is a real asset for Riad Dar Chrifa.
Activity Reviews
Met our driver, Rafiq. Rafiq is absolutely the best. He was attentive, flexible and made our stay in Morocco interesting and fun.
We had a blast!! Our driver, Rafiq, surprised us when he can to the camp in the evening to play the drum, sing and dance.
I really enjoyed the cooking lesson, but was slightly disappointed thinking we would actually spend time with a family learning more about day to day life in Morocco. Maybe just my miss understanding.
My husband wasn’t feeling well. We told the guide we wanted to shorten the tour. He was very flexible and followed our wishes. At the end of the tour we tipped him an amount we thought was appropriate. He stomped away mumbling. It was obvious he was not appreciative of the tip we had given.
Our original driver, Rafiq, needed to leave us for another job. He introduced us to our driver for this last day in Morocco, Sallam. Sallam was great! He made our last day wonderful. And Rafiq checked in with Sallam to be sure we were well taken care of.
