Unforgettable experience thanks to Megan and Mohamed
Morocco
|
Nov 1 - Nov 13, 2023
Megan was fantastic at helping us plan the perfect trip! She was very informative and replied in a timely manner, and put up with all of our back and forth!
Our trip to Morocco felt like a dream! We were picked up by our driver Mohamed at the airport and started our journey! Mohamed was amazing and such a gem! He was very knowledgeable and felt like family by the end of our trip! He was fantastic and put up with all of our craziness! We learned a great deal from Mohamed and would hands down recommend him as your driver/guide!
We started our trip in Casablanca and headed to Chefchaouen which was beautiful! Our accommodation wasn't our favourite but we made the most of it. The Blue City is beautiful and definitely worth the visit! We also had a day trip to
Akchour Falls which is beautiful and we were able to swim near the falls!
We then headed to Fes and stayed at Riad Farouzi Fes which was AMAZING! This place will always hold a special place in my heart based on the service we received! Badar was amazing and make our stay extra special! We were celebrating my birthday later in the trip but they surprised me with music and cake upon our arrival and it's a special memory I'll always cherish! The hospitality was amazing and the riad is beautiful and spacious! We felt like royalty! We did a walking tour with another guide named Mohammed who was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot!
We then headed to Merzouga which was magical! Our stay in the Sahara felt like a dream come true! The sunset camel ride was unbelievable and our guide Hassan made the camel ride memorable! Hotel Cafe du Sud was an amazing tent experience and we were welcomed by friendly faces and service!
We then headed to Ouarzazate and stayed at Les temple des Arts which was very luxurious and beautiful! We had a slight issue with our room that was handled right away with no hiccups and we were treated like royalty and it was a lovely place to wake up to on my birthday!
We finally then embarked to Marrakech which was better than I could have imagined! We stayed at Riad Karmela which was beautiful and was fortunate to get the best room in the Riad with a balcony overlooking the courtyard! The staff at this Riad were remarkable and was a great highlight from our trip!
Kim Kim/Megan were very kind to throw in a surprise motorbike sidecar tour of Marrakech which was another highlight of our trip! It was very neat to see the city this way and a memory I will always treasure!
This is probably the best trip I've ever been on, which says a lot coming from someone who enjoys travelling quite often! I want to thank Megan for her services, and I especially want to thank Mohamed our driver, without him, our trip would not have been as memorable as it was, and I'll always remember our conversations during our long drives! We're now his favourite crazy Canadian girls! :)
Hotel Reviews
Good hotel to start our journey! Rooms were clean and breakfast was good!
Staff was friendly, but our room was very small/squished. Had issues with the bathroom light not working when we arrived, which was quickly arrived. The Riad had a strong smell that was hard to ignore (damp smell). Breakfast on the rooftop was amazing! Hot breakfast with an amazing few!
This is the one of our favourite Riad's! Everything was impeccable, from us being welcomed, to our entire stay! Staff was extremely helpful! Shout out to Badar who was amazing and made us feel like royalty! He had a smile that would light up a room! The Riad also surprised me with music and cake for my birthday week! I would highly recommend this Riad! It is a few months new and very spacious!
Room was spacious and service was great! Staff was very friendly!
This Riad was beautiful and in a great location! Staff was very welcoming and attentive! Our room was the best in the entire Riad and we felt very special! Staff went out of their way to ensure we were taken care of, especially as we were 3 younger women travelling and wanting to experience nightlife as well in Marrakesh! I would highly recommend staying here! Breakfast has a variety of options!
Our night in this tent experience was amazing! Staff was very friendly and helpful! Dinner was one of our best meals! Music and entertainment was great and I would definitely stay here again! The pool has an amazing few of the sand dunes from the hotel.
Hotel is new and very clean and spacious! Pool is very nice and the gym has everything you need! Breakfast was amazing and had a lot of options! Staff was very friendly.
Activity Reviews
Beautiful mosque with a lot of history!
Our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable and we spent the entire day with him. We learned a lot about Fes, and visited several places. He was one of our favourite guides we encountered! He was extremely friendly and patient with our questions, and with our random stops to shop.
Our guide, Hassan was amazing! He was extremely funny and made our camel ride very memorable! He was very smart and a great people person! He helped calmed my nerves and I felt safe getting on/off the camel. He took amazing pictures and videos to help us remember our trip! This was the highlight of our entire trip, which would not have been possible without Hassan!
This hike was amazing! A beautiful way to see a different side of Morocco! Our guide was extremely friendly and only spoke a bit of English but we were still able to communicate! The falls are amazing and we were also able to swim!
Volubilis was amazing! I didn't know anything prior to visiting and we learned a lot from the history and our guide Mohamed was amazing! Very insightful!
It was nice to see Marrakech by foot, but our guide Mustapha was not quite knowledgeable and seemed to be more into talking to other people he saw on the street and was on his phone. We felt like we were following him around and didn't feel like the best use of our time.
