Review: Luxury Morocco Vacation, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert Camping & Camel Tour

The travel company was fantastic. These travel agents were responsive and addressed issues that came up prior to the trip very well. Little details like providing a cell phone with prepaid minutes were very thoughtful. 

The assigned driver was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. He is a big movie buff and pointed out sites from various movies which kept the kids entertained. I would recommend him to anyone traveling in Morocco.

The guides in Chefchouen, Fes, and Marrakech were very very good. Our entire family learnt a lot from them about the architecture, culture, food, government and history. We loved every second of the time we spent with them.

Most of the activities and places we stayed in were great. There were a couple of exceptions. The Riad in Fes was really not up to par compared to the other accommodations and for the price of the trip. The rooms were dingy, the rooms were not cleaned, even getting clean towels took two hours after being asked. The last couple of days of our trip in the Atlas mountains were also disappointing. The accommodations were very basic, and it seemed another party which went through the travel agency got a much better deal. We felt a little shortchanged. Also, two days in the High Atlas was too much. There isn't that much to do unless once goes for a multi-day hike which was not part of our plan. Lastly, while staying there were were taken for dinner to a place more than an hour and a half away, which was really an absurd set up. The dinner was reserved for 9 pm, and we had to leave by 7:15 pm and got back close to midnight. There was nothing so spectacular about the venue or the dinner. I think a special dinner was originally scheduled at a different location which did not materialize. I wish we were told of the change of plans and/or had the plans cancelled.

Overall, it was a great trip. I will be recommending it with a few changes to many of my friends and family.
