Morocco Travel Review: Rabat, Yves Saint Laurent Museum, Camel Ride, 2-Week Tour

Dear Craig,

Thanks for your review, our entire team is pleased your group’s overall trip was what you wished for and went without a hitch, despite the changes we had to make because of the impacts of the earthquake in the High Atlas Mountains.

We’re delighted that the alternate choice for the High Atlas, the resort in Agafay, and camel ride, were a fantastic experience.

Sometimes stops such as in Rabat are required to make the itinerary flow work, Morocco is a complicated country logistically and options other than Rabat are limited when taken in the context of the whole travel itinerary, traveling from the North to South. We are also disappointed that the stop was not what you had wished for.

Art is subjective of course, many clients do enjoy the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and generally speaking the Majorelle Gardens are a must see for most travelers.

We wish you would have contacted us about the guiding in Marrakech, no doubt we could have suggested souks that were not as deep into the medina or even shops outside of the medina.

In the medina of Marrakech (as in most medina’s in Morocco), sometimes have to go a bit further in to find a specific souk. Each one is dedicated to certain craft such as ceramics or leatherwork. When clients ask for specific items our guides take them to shops we know are reputable and offer good quality. That the guide knew the shopkeepers is very typical because of this.

But no doubt a quick text to us would have solved the issue on the spot, as we did with the different changes that were requested by your group during your otherwise pleasant trip. Our goal is to ensure the entirety of our client’s experiences are positive and why we provide 24/7 in-country support.

Thanks again for your business and the feedback here, we will be sure to direct the guide in question to be more thoughtful in the future.

Many thanks and,

Kind Regards

Marcus
