This is an excellent tour to see Morocco in a short time. We booked this trip on Viator at a short notice (less than 1 month) and Rick's voyage was flexible enough to accommodate us. Mr. Tahar El Ghali was our guide and he was very professional, attentive and funny. He took good care of us.
We booked this trip primarily because it offered the option to customize as we wished, We added additional visits to Chefchaouen and Essaouira that were really worth it. Chefchaouen was our favorite followed by Fes. We covered a lot of miles on this trip an it was a great way to see Morocco at our pace and our leisure without the hassle of a big tour group. We only stopped where we wanted and were not under any pressure to shop or eat at any specific place or wait for other people. In Meknes and Fas, we had two local guides that were young and enthusiastic and were really very professional and knowledgeable. Mr. El Ghali gave us very good tips about local restaurants, shops and took us everywhere we wanted to go and even waited for us until we had our dinners and drove us back. He was always generous and courteous.
The quality of the hotels was variable. You have to keep in mind that a 3/4 stars in Morocco is not the North American or European standard. Rick's voyage will change your accommodation if you don't like it but you would not want to waste time from such a busy trip to change hotels. So, do your due diligence before and check the hotels you are assigned and ask to change before hand. You also have the option to upgrade to 4/5 stars hotels after booking which maybe an interesting option for some.
Overall, great trip and I would definitely recommend it.
J'étais un peu prudent avant de débuter mon séjour avec mes amis de l'amicale 5 de Paris, on était 12 personnes! du 5 au 14 Mars 2019
Que du bonheur, Mr El GAli Tahar le boss était vraiment à la hauteur de mon souhait à tous les niveaux ainsi que mes amis ! gentillesse, disponibilité, générosité, et sa patience durant tout le séjour,
Mr Yacine son chauffeur était le meilleur que j'ai connu, d'un grand calme et maîtrise de sois même, toujours à notre disponibilité et son énorme respect à toute l'équipe !
Que des bons et inoubliables souvenirs à renouveler avec RICKS voyages, bien sur notre ami Tahar El Gali l'été prochaine pour le Sud du Maroc .
BEN BOUAYADI
Recorrimos Marruecos desde Casablanca hasta Marrakech, pasando por Rabat, Meknes, Fes, Ifrane, Erfout, Gargantas del Todra, Ourzazate., hospedandonos una noche en cada lugar.
No nos encontramos con guias de habla hispana en varios lugares , que era lo contratado,
Algunos hablaban poco español, y no tenian conocimientos de la historia de su pais, por lo tanto tampoco podian transmitirla
Salvo los choferes que pusieron lo mejor de si mismos, el resto de los guias tuvieron un trato desagradable.
Solo nos llevaban a sacar algunas fotos y luego eramos rehenes, llevados de un negocio a otro, donde debiamos sentarnos y aguantar , sus argumentos de ventas.
Mas alla de ideas arcaicas, y de sometimiento , que no comparto, pero respeto, como en cada pais que visito,es evidente que no saben trabajar con el turismo.
Tienen malos modales, y solo les interesa hacer un negocio rapido, y volver a descansar.
Nos llevaron a almorzar, a lugares caros, faltos de higiene y mala comida, porque evidentemente, habia intereses de los guias.
Aclaro que viajamos mucho, y conocemos las reglas de juego de las excursiones.
Una lastima, la estrechez mental, la pobreza de este pais, que tiene posibilidades de ofrecer buenos productos turisticos, el dia que aprendan modales.
Como le exprese personalmente ,dudo que alguna vez vuelva.Es el primer pais que me genero esta opinion.
