Megan arranged a superb tour which was made even better (if even possible) by arranging Hamid to be our driver. What a professional, knowledgeable, kind, proud Berber who answered all our questions and shared the love of his culture. We shared many laughs together. The three of us (all seasoned mature travelers) felt safe and had a terrific time. We highly recommend:
1. the Sahara glamping at Riad Madu and sunset camel riding with Barack and Omar,
2. the climb up the gorge in Atlas Mountains with Mohammed, who shared his home and a family prepared meal
3. a Hammam Beldi full body scrub at Hammam de la Rose in Marrakech
4. a visit to Fes' medina with guide extraordinaire Kamal and an unexpected visit to a women's Berber rug coop
Our 6 different Riad stays were all lovely. Our favorite was Riad Maison Bleue, where Idris took especially great care of us and arranged a birthday cake and music to celebrate.
Thank you Megan and a big thank you to Hamid who made the trip so special.

Nicer to stay here in a small homelike setting versus the hotel affiliated with it. The staff was nice and arranged traditional Berber music in the evening.
