A Truly Great Trip!
Morocco
|
Sep 30 - Oct 16, 2024
Our driver/guide was Karim and he showed us a great time in Morocco along with excellent local guides in each city we visited. The trip was very well planned and over 17 days we spent time in every main city in the country as well as went to the Sahara, Atlas Mountains and the coasts. Kimkim works with local travel companies and the one they used for our trip in Morocco, Original Travels, put together a great journey that expanded in the planning stage with my desire to include Tangier and add 2 free days in Marrakech. We had a private trip with our own driver/guide every day for just my friend and myself - each with our own hotel/riad room every night - for 17 days for about $5000 (plus tips). AMAZING!!
Activity Reviews
Very good guide who showed us things we would have missed on our own - and with a lot of information.
Our guide actually gave us an incredible full-day tour of so much of the Medina that we would not have seen without him, especially the fascinating leather tannery.
It was a great experience except that I was given a juvenile camel and a very young “handler” and when it came time to get back on the camel after our “break” in the middle of our 2-hour trek, I had an “accident.” The handler did not control the young camel and before I was fully on the camel, it started standing up with me hanging off. I fell off and then another handler came over, but neither even attempted to control the camel and the same thing happened again - and while half on, the camel rose up and after trying to hang on, I fell off again. They swapped out camels and with a now-injured leg, I got on and finished the ride (because I’m tough!). I was able to do everything on the trip after that, including hiking down and up the Monkey’s Fingers canyon, walk about 6 miles a day. etc but my leg hurt the rest of the trip and it turned not just black and blue but much of it turned black! I will include a photo below.
We had a fantastic hiking guide for the Monkey’s Fingers canyon hike! It was beautiful and thrilling and even though my leg hurt from the camel accident 2 days earlier, especially on the uphill part, I focused on the great experience. I could not have done the hike without our guide, who used his feet as ledges etc. And afterwards, we had a tagine lunch at the home he shares with his sister, who made the delicious lunch, and her husband.
Great tour of Marrakech with a very knowledgeable guide.
Another great guide who provided us with another great tour.
Great experience - provided a more detailed review of it on Trip Advisor. Loved the cooking and meal and especially getting to know the couple offering the class.
Interesting drive and visit to Atlas Studios.
