Ray Barge review 23 May 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
So many things really. We really enjoyed the treks that we did with the local guides (who were great) and one of our best meals in Morroco was with the Berber family (terrific Tagine). The views from the Kasbah bab Ourika were stunning.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
In the Souks do be prepared to say no politely but assertively if you aren’t interested in buying. It would be so easy otherwise to buy something out of politeness.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The guides while we were in the Atlas said that the employment created by the Kasbah was invaluable. It helped sustain local communities as young people were provided with jobs nearby rather than moving to the cities.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We both really enjoyed every part of the trip and the guides in both Marrakesh and the Atlas really gave us an insight into Moroccan culture and traditions. We would thoroughly recommend the tour operator who organised the trip.Nancy Harrington review 16 Jan 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Sleeping in the Sahara. Scenery. The graciousness of the people.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Very comfortable walking shoes. Check out the plans for guided trips and don't get overbooked. Take time to rest. Layers are the way to go with dress. Nothing fancy.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I remain concerned about the use of bottled water. Wish there were a way to handle the issue. I remember on my 1968 trip to Mexico we had tablets to put in local water. Must not have worked since we now drink the bottled stuff. We bought at the cooperatives. We tried to tip wherever we could ...especially remembering the cleaners.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was excellent and well planned. We certainly got a taste of all there was to see. Loved the education of most guides. I have thought about writing the Princess or the Minister of Tourism to say that the people who work with tourists would get more money if it were possible to get smaller bills. I am happy to tip $1 or $2 or even $5 for the smallest of services but $10 and $20 make the tips add up too quickly.Alice Leftley review 22 May 2014
