We liked the agenda and all the places that were arranged to see and do. We loved Morocco, people were great and food was good too. Our guide/driver, Ilyace, was excellent and he had very good command of English language which we greatly appreciated. We strongly recommend his services. All other guides were good too, Hamid at Volubilis and Sharif in Fez were really knowledgeable and informative. Saleh (Marrakech), Ashraf (food tour) and Hassan (Essaouira) were also good. We were sorry we had too many samples before we got the main course and we could not enjoy it as much, but it was very good food tour. We also enjoyed the visit to Yasmin’s family and dinner. As for the tour of Hassan II Mosque, group tour guide was not really that good, they need better tour guides. As for the hotels, I assume they were amongst the best for their locations! Our favorites were Hotel Le Medina (Essaouira) and Lina (Chefchaouen) very high standards, we also liked Palais Sebban. The rest were acceptable but could make some minor improvements to the details. Our favorite city was Chefchaouen. In summary the trip a was very good experience and we appreciate all the help and planning by the team.
