Morocco

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

I recently traveled to Morocco with this travel agency. I was a bit anxious about traveling to Morocco as I speak neither French nor Arabic. I was reluctant to travel with a tour guide as I usually enjoy planning trips myself. I had a great experience with this company. They listened to my preferences and planned a very vigorous trip centered on photography. The itinerary covered most of the country and was fast paced as I requested. The hotels and meals were super and well planned. I spent almost no time waiting and wasted almost no time navigating. The tour guide was very knowledgable and kind. As I was traveling alone, I really got to know him which made the experience vastly richer than traveling on my own could have been. Morocco felt very safe and is a truly beautiful country. The food was amazing and more than I could eat each day. I took over 2300 photos of the scenery, architecture and the beautiful people of Morocco. I accidentally bought a carpet and had the time of my life doing it. I would highly recommend Morocco as a destination and this agency as the company to guide your visit.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

I went to take photos and came home with over 2300 great shots. I especially enjoyed Chefchouen, Essaouaria and the cooking class in Fez. I really enjoyed getting to know my tour guide and driver. I learned a ton about the history of Morocco and about Islam. I enjoyed buying a carpet (even though I had planned not to buy a carpet).

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

The beginning of the trip was a bit taxing. I wanted to go to Chefcouen and it made sense to do it at the beginning of the trip I landed in Casablanca and got out of the airport about 4 pm. I was pretty tired from traveling. We then got in the car and drove almost 6 hours to Chefchouen which was very exhausting. The next day we only had 3-4 hours in Chefchouen and then travelled onto Fez which was another long day. In hindsight, I would have gone to Rabat first then onto Chefchouen the next day, breaking up the driving somewhat. The only other criticism is that I was very busy during the trip. I asked to be busy and got what I asked for but was pretty tired by the end of the trip. A couple of the activities could have been left out without diminishing the trip (for example wine tasting, hiking the gorge near chefchouen). I would have enjoyed a little more free time to explore on my own to explore. All of that being said, it really was an amazing trip
