Private 8 Day Imperial Cities of Morocco with Accommodation

Min hustru og jeg var på en fantastisk 14 dags rundtur i Marokko til kongebyerne samt i Sahara og i Atlasbjergene. Vores guide og chauffør Abdul var yderst vidende og omsorgsfuld og var i allerhøjeste grad med til at gøre denne tur fantastisk for os. Sikker, rolig og kompetent chauffør og som guide var Abdul både humoristisk og velorienteret om utrolig mange forhold i Marokko (historie, samfundsforhold og natur). Da min hustru kom ud for en alvorlig faldulykke på turen var Abdul fantastisk at have ved vores side. Han tog ansvar og hjalp os gennem et marokkansk hospitalsvæsen (en oplevelse i sig selv) på en meget tillidsfuld og sikker måde. Abdul tog os desuden på picnic i Atlasbjergene med kylling-tagine og det hele. Skøn oplevelse og i stor kontrast til de heftige medinaer i byerne. Tusinde tak for en skøn ferieoplevelse Abdul. Mange hilsner Jan og Eva

This is my first review for Tripadvisor because it is the first time I was so delighted with every aspect of the services provided by Toubkal Guide. We had the vacation of a lifetime in Morocco and Toubkal Guide was a big part of making that happen. A little background on me and my family. We have traveled much of the world and always done the planning and logistics on our own. My view of travel consultants is they were more interested in their self-interest than mine. I still feel somewhat like that but Toubkal Guide was a complete exception to that impression. This trip included my wife, our grown son and his finance. Our trip was for 10 days and by design we had only booked our initial stay in Marrakech at a Riad Kheirredine. I had done some research as to ‘top sites in Morocco’ but had no reservations beyond 2 nights in Marrakech. In my preliminary research I had gotten some initial cost for desert camps, typical drivers for portions of the trip and some broad cost for guides, hotels, etc. In my research I had seen a number of blogs that stated the costs given in Morocco to local’s vs those given over to non-Morocco residence were vastly different, so I decided to delay making commitments until I was in country. This proved to be a very wise decision. While at our Marrakech riad I ask for a recommendation for a travel consultant and without question was told Toubkal Guide was the best. How right they were. In a quick series of emails and phone calls I was able to give my high-level desires in terms of sites, experiences and preference for types of hotels. I knew right away that this would be a good experience because Toubkal Guide was a great balance between trying to meet all our expectations and providing more realistic expectations based on their local knowledge. For example, we had suggested one leg of our travel would be 10 hours based on goggle maps. Toubkal Guide gently suggested this was fantasy and if we tried to do this in one day we might all kill ourselves. We broke this into two days based on Toubkal Guide experience and realized how right they were. We all still liked each other after the two days, and I doubt this would have been the case in one day. Within a few hours I was given a preliminary itinerary which I made some suggestions and a quick turn around for a final itinerary with total cost. I was astounded. The accommodations include were 5 star, the transportation options excellent, include were almost all cost for meals, tours, etc. The total price was less than the cost I had collected for a few random things that accounted for maybe 25% of the proposed itinerary. Like any service company, at the end of the day it is all about the person that delivers the service rather than the company alone. In our case Toubkal Guide recommended Abdulla as our driver and guide for the entire trip and we could not have had a more perfect driver. I need a thesaurus for all his attributes: skilled, knowledgeable, flexible, insightful, kind, protective, helpful in negotiations, willing to fade into the background when needed, willing to change based on our whims, willing to advise us when we were making mistakes, etc. etc. Morocco is a big country and our itinerary called for some long rides. Surprising we were all glad to get in the car every morning to spend more time with Abdulla. In closing my advice is that no matter how experienced a traveler you are you need a partner to get the most out of Morocco. Definitely call Toubkal Guide and hope that Abdulla is available. Then sit back and enjoy one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
