Travel Review: Luxury Family Trip to Morocco, Chefchaouen, Fez, Marrakech, Sahara Desert Camel Tour, Atlas Mountains, Cooking Class

A superb trip! My husband and I wanted to tour Morocco in spring (good weather, pretty flowers) with our two adult daughters (who are in their 20s). Our travel planner worked closely with me to listen to what we wanted and carefully adjust the trip to suit our interests. He initially came up with an overall plan in response to a form that I completed on the internet.  It matched the goals I requested; this sounds obvious but most people responding gave me a cookie-cutter style response that didn't hit what we wanted.  My travel planner and I then had a phone call and he took extensive notes to hone the proposal.  I then read guidebooks, internet descriptions, etc and came up with other ideas and adjustments. We used some of my ideas and when we didn't my travel planner explained why he recommended against. He was engaged and patient in the process. The company knows the area well enough to take advantage of cool opportunities that are not necessarily obvious in the guidebooks. Our final plan was nearly perfect.  This travel agency coordinates with other companies in the country and the coordination between them was excellent. The guide and driver were extraordinary (and we saw lots of other guides with other tourists--ours were top notch). Before the trip we received materials about what to expect so that we could planning how much cash to bring for gratuities, information for packing, etc. As a side note, I had tried to use a different, much more prominent travel company, to plan a trip 2 years ago and the private plan that proposed just didn't seem right.  The difference is that this travel company has a deep understanding of the area and excellent connections on the ground. The company is not extravagantly expensive and is worth every penny.
