We had a great 8 days vacation in Morocco! We had booked a roundtrip flight to Marrakech and were looking into where to go and what to do when we found Hassan 'Explore Adventures Morocco' . He has an 8 days trip advertised on there, which takes you from Marrakech to the Sahara (Erg Chegaga+ a night in the desert), the Dades gorge, Ait Ben Haddou, Zagora, Ait Benhaddou and Marrakesh. This is a nicely varied programme, taking you to cities, desert, mountains and the sea, all passing through the beautiful arrid scenery. Our package consisted of all the hotels (including all breakfasts and including dinner when staying outside of cities), 4x4, airport transfers, . Everything was well organised and delivered as promised. We usually book everything ourselves, but decided to give this package a try. It made the trip so much more relaxing. Hotels were all Riads or otherwise attractive typical Moroccan style accomodation with good and personal service, all serving enormous breakfasts (with La Vache Qui Rit Cheese every day - the country staple ;-)) and tasty (tajine) meals. Any way... we had a wonderful time in this beautiful country and we can recommend Hassan for organising a taylor-made trip for anyone!Show more
