Our trip to Morocco exceeded all our expectations. It was an excellent agenda. All the tours and tour guides were excellent, but Younes our driver, really made the experience exceptional. He was always very professional, and offered us so many great tips. He was always ready with very good meal recommendations and would book the reservation. He even helped us get laundry done. Younes made the whole trip very seemless. All the individual guides were very good and each one was special in their own way. We will always remember this special trip.

Hotel Reviews
Luxury Camp Chebbi
Merzouga

We had a wonderful time staying in such comfortable accommodations in the desert. The staff was very welcoming and endearing. Our room was beautifully appointed and was a very fancy tent for being in the desert. The staff did a wonderful job with music entertainment in the evening and worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time. In the morning, we went for a sunrise camel ride. This was a very special experience and the guide was very patient and knowledgeable.

Riad Kalaa 2

This was a beautiful Riad. Our room had 2 bedrooms and was beautifully decorated. It felt very Moroccan and was a special treat. The staff was very warm and welcoming. This was one of our favorite Riad’s in Morocco.

RIAD NILA
Chefchaouen

This Riad was right inside the Medina and was beautifully decorated on the inside. Like many of the Riad’s it was very modest on the outside and opened up into a beautiful courtyard. The room was spotless and unique. The staff was warm and very welcoming. We enjoyed out stay very much.

We really enjoyed how this was multiple Riad’s combined into a single Palais. Each separate Riad had a unique character and the overall Palais was beautiful. Our room was very nice and spacious. The breakfast was particularly good with lots of options.

Les Jardins De La Medina
Marrakech

Wow - This was an amazing oasis, right in the Medina of Marrakesh. It looked very modest on the outside, but inside was a tropical paradise. We found we just wanted to spend time at the hotel and lounge by the pool. I also used the spa for a manicure and Hammam treatment (both were wonderful). The breakfast had a wonderful variety and the dinner was also excellent. This was our favorite hotel in Morocco and I hope to return someday.

This was a very unique experience. We all enjoyed the traditional body scrub. This included a sauna, followed by a full body scrub and rinse. Afterward we were all ready to just fall asleep. I would highly recommend this experience.

We absolutely loved this experience. It was very fun to shop in the market for the ingredients and then to make each course. The chef was such a wonderful person. She was very warm, knowledgeable and just a delight. I can’t recommend this enough. And her foods were better than most of the foods we got in the restaurants.

While we enjoyed this activity, we would have liked to have had more choices over the wines we tasted. Generally they were giving us very generous pours, but we would have preferred more tastings with smaller pours. The wine and appetizers were all very good, but after doing price comparisons later, the prices for wines at the winery were expensive. But the setting for the tasting was absolutely beautiful.

While it was a long drive for this activity, it is a very unique experience. It was wonderful to be in the desert and to ride the camels out to the sunrise.

We enjoyed all the historical information. The only downside is the chaos of the Marrakesh Medina (beyond the guides control).

We loved having food from small local favorites. All the food was delicious. We enjoyed the donuts, the harissa soup and walking across the square for the main course. I would caution vegetarians, that the main course is a meat dish without an option for vegetarians (even though the guide knew there was a vegetarian). But it was still a great experience.

Morocco

This was a beautiful hike. We initially hiked up to the waterfall and then Mohammad adjusted to do a hike around the Atlas Mountains (there was an option to hike up to more waterfalls, but it involved a lot of scramblings). We absolutely loved the scenery and getting to better understand the Berber culture. This was one of our favorite activities. Mohammad was an excellent guide and even welcomed us into his home for tea. He and his family were very endearing and we felt very honored to have tea in his home.
