Imperial Morocco & The Blue City - 8 Days

Thanks to our amazing Tour Guide I had the most fabulous time in Morocco. The guide made us all feel so special and welcome. We were 8 in the group and together with the guide and driver our tourbus was full of enjoyment and curiosity and the guide answered all our questions with a smile. The itinerary is busy and we saw many beautifull sites. A good choice to join this tour.

Our tour guide was Abdefatah and the driver was Sulleiman. I was very impressed with Sulleiman. His driving style was calm and confident. Abdefatah did not always appear overly engaged with the tour.

Imperial Morocco & the Blue City, was a fantastic tour, we saw some amazing ancient sites, some beautiful Mosques. The Blue City is something that shouldn’t be missed if going to Morocco. We have done numerous tours, and OMAR is the absolute best tour guide we have had, so knowledgeable and friend.

Omar was a fantastic tour guide, friendly, informative and engaged with the whole group. The tour was great except for the following: Our first night was supposed to be in Marrakesh but we were transferred straight to Casablanca without being told . Would like to have tea/coffee facilities in hotel rooms. Some of the lunches were really late and too close to dinner. Enjoyed Rabat, Chefchouen & Marrakesh the most. Was glad we booked a couple of extra nights at the end in Marrakesh as just an afternoon and evening there is not enough. The only thing I liked about Casablanca was the famous cafe and the mosque. Would be useful to be able to change up notes for small coins for toilets and tips, maybe advised on how to do this on arrival. Advice on tourist scams in Marrakesh would be helpful, as we fell for a couple on our last 2 days, which left a disappointing view of some Morrocan people after having such a nice tour previously.

Wow and wow again!! What an amazing country!! Loved every second of our trip!! Abdellatif Benaissa was our guide and Sulimane Bairha was our driver. We could not ask for a better combination. Abdul’s knowledge and love for his country was evident in his guiding and with a mostly female group (except for Glynn) he had his hands full. Not once did he loose his cool and everything was done with a smile. Abdul and Suliman’s friendliness was infectious and set the tone for the tour and made it an unforgettable experience. Morocco is a beautiful amazing country with surprises and magic around every corner. Chefchaouen and Rabat is a must see and I wish we could’ve spend more days exploring these mystical phenomenal cities. The Riad in Rabat was outstanding and gave us a true experience of being part of Morocco. The people of Morocco are kind hearted and friendly people and we always felt safe and welcome. This was a truly unforgettable experience and I would recommend everyone to experience it at least once.

I would recommend one day in the blue city instead of two. I also recommend that the group stays in the blue city instead of a hotel outside of the city. Several of the 5 of us on this tour recommend this. An extra day in Marrakesh would be nice. Its such a vibrant and beautiful city and so much to do. I wish I had stayed an extra day. Our guide and driver were professional and so helpful. They really went out of their way to make our trip a success. We also enjoyed our trip even more since there were only 5 ladies on this tour. Its really nice to have extra room in the van. We had one issue with the owner at the hotel outside of the blue city. The wifi wasn't working and he didn't seem to care. It wasn't a big deal except he would just shrug us off which was so annoying. I am easy going and I don't usually let stuff like this bother me when I travel. We didn't like his attitude at all.

The tour guide Omar was exceptional. He made the trip interesting and enjoyable. He looked after all the important logistics and went out of his way to make everything easy for everyone on the tour. His knowlege about Moroccan history and culture was excellent and he was happy to share this us.

Omar was excellent as a tour guide (rating for Omar) Hussain took over from Fes was underwhelming at best. Seemed disinterested Accom in Blue City was grubby. Accom in Casablanca tired and smelt of stale smoke. Riads and other hotels were great

Honestly, I’m getting a bit annoyed with male tour guides. They have no concept of women’s needs to shop. Racing through a Medina on a ‘tour of the Medina’ is just not good enough. The women in our tour had to stage a coup just to get a couple of hours shopping in Marrakesh on the last day. Apart from that, our guide was lovely and so was our driver. However - there is way too much time on a bus in this tour. I booked this tour because there seemed to be plenty of leisure time and minimal bus time. This was not the case. On our second to last day we had to spend 10 hours driving to a dry lake in the mountains. We arrived at 7pm, had a drink and went to bed exhausted. Up early the next day to sit in the bus again to drive to Marrakech. What a nightmare. Why? That section could have been eliminated to allow an extra day in Marrakech. The hotels in Rabat and Fes were fantastic. The hotel near Chefchaouen was filthy and too far away for us to shop unsupervised. Marrakech- good, Casablanca- very strange, cold not lock the balcony door. The hotel at the dry lake was pretty good apart from the shower head where most jets were clogged. The Moroccan people were friendly and patient. Overall this tour tries to pack too much into the time available.
