Morocco Travel Review: Fes, Casablanca, Marrakech, Essaouira, High Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert, Skoura, Tent Camping

If there was one word that meant “beyond exceptional”, I would use it to describe our trip with this travel agency.

Our agent and his team at understood the type of experience we hoped for and consistently delivered in all aspects.  In fact, our expectations were exceeded.

This was not a typical pre-packed highlights tour, it was a wonderful one of a kind custom tour allowing us to experience the diverse sights, culture, history, food and local people of the country.

In so very many ways, Morocco is a country of contrast.  We travelled over 2500kms in 9 days as we wanted to see as much as we could.  It was an aggressive schedule but we never once felt rushed due to the finely crafted plan from this agency.

We travelled from Cassablanca to Chefchouan to Fes to the Sahara Desert to Skoura to Marrakech to the High Atlas to Essaouira.

Our accomodations were exceptional – from the tents at Merzouga Dunes to the quaint and unique riads and the ultra luxurious hotel properties.

Our driver was always professional and cheerful; he was an experienced and safe driver. 

Having our guide accompany us throughout our entire tour enhanced it immensely.

We can’t say enough about our guide!  We thoroughly enjoyed him as a new friend and felt he truly cared about us.  Some adjectives our family used to describe him are:  engaging, intelligent, genuine, knowledgeable, amiable, insightful, flexible, professional and exceptional!

We learned so much from Chacha him about the history, traditions and culture of Morocco.  We particularly appreciated how he so willingly shared stories about his family and his own life growing up in Morocco as that provided further charm and insight into Morocco.

Our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer. We felt two weeks would have been ideal to allow for a few extra days to enjoy the splendor of the very unique and magical accommodations this travel agency secured for us.

We hope to return to Morocco one day as it now holds a special place in our hearts.  Inshallah.

Finally, I want to mention how pleased we were to hear about our guide's work in building a foundation to help the less fortunate children of Morocco gain an education.  It is our understanding he will partner in the future with this agency to further promote his work.  We whole-heartedly applaud this initiative – if our dollars spent as tourists can also help support local initiatives in this regard, that is an added bonus to our trip!
