A wonderful one day tour full of value. The booking: it was simple, stress free and pickup was punctual on arrival. Comms to arrange were on point too
The Guide: Abdel (or Abdul affectionately preferred) had tremendous knowledge. Covered the History and Geography of Marrakech and wider Morocco, the Economics, culture and Nature within the beautiful country. Provided quantified facts (I love numbers). Approachable, attentive, friendly and most of all fun.
The Tour: 9 hours from departure in Central Marrakech through the itinerary and back to the hotel. Thoroughly covered the valleys and the landmarks on route with small trivia like nuggets thrown in for good measure. I will be returning home and reading more about the Country.
The Lunch: dietary requirements were checked which indicates care and consideration in my opinion. I have had four tagines on my visit thus far and this was by far the best by a distance. The protein was soft and melted in the mouth and full of flavour. The vegetables and cous cous full of flavour and aroma. The love and care taken to prepare and cook is clearly evident on arrival and moreso when it enters the mouth. Well presented and the family hospitality is a nice touch. Amazing views too! When can you feel the heat from the sun whilst viewing snow covered mountain tops.
The transport: lovely, travelling with a small family of four who all were lovely to get on with. The seats were comfy. Retractable arm rests, clean vehicle inside and out. No obvious things to moan about that would be typically expected with a bad driving experience. Driving with care where necessary eg the narrow roads in the mountains. Travelled early January so cold morning and a warm afternoon. The vehicle regulated the temp well.
