Sharon did a fantastic job and helped us create an incredible trip plan. Hicham is not only a great guide, he is a kind, gentle and patient person who we enjoyed being with very much. He is also a careful and skilled driver.
We are a family of four with two kids, ages 12 & 14. We took the ferry from Spain to Tangier and then travelled to Chefchaouen for a night. We then spent two nights in Fes before traveling to the desert. After that we went to Boumalne Dades and then to Marrakech.
Along the way we were able to stop at many souks, historic sites, and other points of interest.
Although the distances are long, even by Canadian standards, it was so full of beauty and diverse landscapes, along with the stops, that it never felt like too much.
Thank you for everything! We all had a fabulous time.

Hotel Reviews
Riad Hicham
Chefchaouen

This is a nice spot with beautiful people and delicious food. It's a perfect location. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well.

Authenticity & Character
This is a traditional riad. I'm not sure they come more authentic. It was very special.
Location
You can't get a better location. In the middle of the medina but quiet at night.
Staff
Everyone is so kind and warm. We felt very welcome.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The beds were very comfortable. The room was adequately spacious. The only issue was that the drain in one of the bathrooms had an odour.
Riad Salam Fes
Fes

This is an absolutely stunning Riad. I can't say enough about its beauty and opulence. It was a big treat.

Authenticity & Character
This is a historic building with so much character and beauty.

This Riad is very close to the Medina. There is so much to look at in the Riad that I could have spent the evening there, but it was easy to go out for dinner.

All the staff were brilliant.

This is a beautiful Riad in a great location. Everything is right outside the door but it was very quiet at night.

Everything was perfect except for the odor from the shower drain. We had to cover it with the trash bin and leave the fan on, which is fortunately quiet.

Fes

We packed so much into this day. It was one of my favourites. All the experiences were rich with information. Hicham and the other local guides we worked with for tours of the tannery, etc were such a pleasure to spend time with.

This was so fun! Everything was perfect. The hosts, the tent, drivers, camel guides, food, entertainment and even the brief sandstorm were impressive. We had a great time.
