Personalized trips to Morocco
for independent travelers

Hi Bill,

Thanks for taking time to write a review. We are happy to hear that your overall experience was excellent and we enjoyed meeting you here in the Valley of Roses.

Thanks for the notes as well. We do include stops like the rug cooperative only because it is an important part of the culture and should be no-pressure stops - I will contact you directly to get more information, so that we can speak to the local guide and/or the particular cooperative. The idea is to just share the local handicrafts that have been practiced for centuries and we definitely don't want our guests to feel uncomfortable. We will also discuss this with our tour managers so that they explain that stops like that are optional and that you are free to skip them if you wish.

I thought that the point about credit cards was addressed in the Morocco trip tips sheet that we provided, but I just looked and see that that particular point is not mentioned. I will revise that and be sure to communicate that with future travelers.

Regarding the water at the riad, we did hear reports that the water was out; however, it was an outage that affected the entire quartier of Marrakech and not within the control for the riad itself. Unfortunately, this happens in Morocco generally from time to time, but it is getting less frequent.

And finally, we will discuss the points about the desert camp with our tour managers, too. This is something that they should be coordinating and communicating to you before you head to the camp.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! And, again, we are happy to hear that enjoyed your time with Abdelhadi and in Morocco, generally.
