Organization by Bea was great - great hotels and guides. Morocco was wonderful although the local operator did not seem to know parts of our itinerary.
Hotel Reviews
Favorite hotel of the trip - beautiful room and very helpful staff.
Hotel was almost on top of major roads and even with double windows it was loud (especially trying to go to bed early for 3 am wake up)
Activity Reviews
The Guided Tour of Hassan II Mosque wasn't as expected. The itinerary mentioned a private tour, but we ended up joining the public English tour with around thirty people. It was about forty minutes long and the guide was adequate, but it wasn't a private experience as described.
awesome - learned so much and ate amazing food. Tried so many new things.
group was very large so hard to follow at times - would have been better with a smaller group
local guide Omar was fabulous. Went out of his way to be sure we say everything we wanted and help my son go back to riad when he did not feel well
Was a group tour and guide did not have great English. Only about 40 minutes long
Best tour of trip - we ate so much and had so much fun. Tried tons of food I would have never tried and had the most amazing couscous ever. Do not miss this?
The Flamenco Show was quite enjoyable and struck the right balance in terms of length. It wasn't overly long, making it a good introduction to flamenco. The performance was engaging and gave a nice cultural touch to our evening. Overall, it was a nice experience.
The olive oil estate visit was fine but not overly impressive. It was a short visit, less than an hour, where we saw different kinds of olives, the machinery used, and tasted three olive oils. It was informative but not a must-do activity.
The overnight stay in the Agafay Desert was fun and a unique experience. The lodge was nice, the food was good, and the accommodations were comfortable despite finding a scorpion in the shower. They promptly took care of it, so it wasn't a major issue.
Hi Barbara! Thank you so much for your feedback and extra information, definitely really helpful! :) I hope you and your son had a great time around Spain and Morocco and created lovely memories! It was truly a pleasure to work with you on this special trip! Best regards, Bea.
