Hello Robbin, Salah and Pasha Hamou: Thank you so much for making my trip to Morocco so memorable. What a beautiful and diverse and friendly country.

Robbin - thank you for all the organizing and answering all our questions so promptly. Salah - thank you for your humour, guidance, organizing, driving and friendship. Though I must say I could not figure out what that crazy driver was up to on the mountain road when I moved out of the way and he kept creeping up with the vehicle. Should have known it would be you. What fun that you made the effort to meet up there. And thanks also for always checking in with us to see if we were having a good time. Maybe you were really checking on Hamou to make sure we had not driven him crazy yet.

Pasha Hamou - You are amazing. I cannot imagine anyone doing more to
make our trip memorable and all we imagined. Your knowledge of history, little known places, plants, animals and food added to our good time. The trips to the local markets for supplies for snacks and picnics and finding the perfect place to have our special lunches was so thoughtful. The desert was a blast - next time we race the 4-wheelers on the dunes and leave the guide behind. Making a table of sand for us on the dunes for our "sister celebration" and pulling out some snacks to go along with our wine was very appreciated. Lunch with a Berber family and a private concert by Hassan is just one of the multitude of special things you did for us.

All in all, our trip was truly grand. Essaouira was lovely and just what we needed at the beginning of the trip. The riad we stayed at (in Marrakech) was lovely. Maria served our dinner each night up on the terrace. She always asked what we wanted for our dinner. Her family is so friendly and welcoming. They would all come to the door to greet us. The hamam was delightful. As you said, Thami was a wonderful guide in Fez. I am sure there are more jewels to see in Morocco. Our 3 weeks flew by. Big squishy hugs to all.

Just a quick note to let you know what a wonderful time we had with Morocco Explored. Thank you for a truly magical experience in a beautiful country. Mom had a wonderful 85th birthday. I will highly recommend your trips to anyone I know heading in that direction. I hope to return to Morocco with the rest of my family in the next few years.

We have recently returned from our trip and wanted to let you know that we had a FANTASTIC time. The itinerary you put together was perfect and we felt that each day allowed us to learn more about the country and the culture of the people. In addition, each of the four drivers we had added a different dimension to our trip which we enjoyed greatly.

I apologize again for all the e-mails I had sent to you and would like to tell you once again how much I appreciate the time you put forth in promptly replying to them.

I have already done some advertising for Morocco Explored as I showed the Morocco photos from our camera to a woman who sat near me on the plane ride home from Lisbon then wrote down the website address for her since she expressed interest in a future trip to Morocco. Feel free to give our names to anyone who may ask for references as I would be more than happy to promote your company.

I just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful tour you organized for me and my parents back in January/February.

We had an amazing eight days traveling a circuit that went from Casablanca through Marrakech to the desert, to Fez and back to Casablanca. The highlights of our tour were many. But here are just a few:

• Staying with Maria and Mohammed in Marrakech was a real pleasure. They are a delightful couple who truly welcomed us into their beautiful home.

• The camel ride into the desert to watch the sunset was one of those once in a lifetime, take-your-breath-away experiences that should not be missed by anyone traveling through Morocco.

• Our guide in Fez was outstanding. He completely knew his stuff and had a real talent for keeping us entertained while being truly wise and informative. We learnt a lot from Tami in Fez…and not just about the history of the place…but about deeper things like faith, culture and politics and the like.

• And last, but definitely not least, is our driver Essalah. Essalah knows everybody in Morocco…is completely in control of every situation…and is totally cool! And his parking skills in Marrakech! You would think he was parking a mini not a whopping big 4 wheel drive! Essalah also added a bit of style to our trip with his wonderfully flamboyant attire. At some locations it felt like we were traveling with a rock star, with other tourists desperately trying to steal photos when he wasn’t looking! Essalah is very good at his job and he worked hard to make sure that our tour was a great experience from beginning to end. Our trip would not have been the same without him.

Thank you again Robbin. My parents and I had the trip of a lifetime with Morocco Explored and we continue to sing your praises to anyone who will listen.

The tour as a whole was absolutely wonderful, fascinating, unbelievable! Folks in our small town in the southern U.S. cannot possible understand the magnitude of the fabulous sites, cultures, and people we experienced during our Morocco Explored tour. Our very busy itinerary allowed us to experience so much of Morocco and its' exceptional beauty and the amazing natural and ancient sites. Everywhere, the people seemed kind, unhurried and pleased to welcome us.

Your help and insight with our (7 day) itinerary was so correct. It was a lot of driving, but we wanted to see and do all we could during our Morocco visit. We felt we had an excellent overview of Morocco and the vast differences within: gorgeous coast, Sahara, desert areas, oasis, High Atlas mountains (some snow), Anti-Atlas scrub, farm land, Argon trees and surrounding area, Atlantic ports, busy cities and quaint kasbahs and villages.

THANKS for such a great, memorable vacation with grown children. Someday I hope to return to Morocco for an extended time in order to enjoy each beautiful area of this varied country.
R Richardson family, USA, 2008

We would like to let you know that we had a great trip with Morocco Explored... a very organized tour company and our trip itinerary ran smoothly. The four of us on the 5 days/4 nights desert tour were extremely pleased with your service and driver. All of us in our party were impressed with his excellent driving skills especially driving thru the Atlas Mountains region. We found our trip in the Land Cruiser very safe, relaxing and stress free. We enjoyed the music and entertainment.

You treated us... with respect and kindness. We all learned a lot in the five days. You were very accommodating when we wanted special stops or for having different lunches. You were very professional, listened to us and were fun to be with. It was a memorable trip.

After our five days of touring we were looking for a couple of days of R & R; you recommended Sidi Kaouki, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco. The hotel, dinners and beach were out of this world. It was everything you said it would be.

Thanks for making our trip to Morocco special. We would definitely use Morocco Explored again and highly recommend to others.
R Purdy family, Canada 2007

On the whole, our trip was fantastic - thank you very much! The people we met were so very nice, and the scenery was unique and unlike anything we've seen before. Once I got used to the practice of haggling, that was fun too.

Although no one in my family speaks (much) French, Arabic or Berber, we had no trouble meeting and interacting with the locals - in fact it increased the charm of the trip.

Ouzoud - WOW!!! What an amazing place... the hotel was also fabulous. I think the sitting area on the second floor is my favorite place in Morocco. I could spend hours there just sitting looking into the valley and listening to the water fall. I really regret not spending 3 days in Ouzoud.

We got to Merzouga late (8 pm) after stopping at Essalah's house. His family was amazingly kind and at the end of the visit, I felt I had a new set of family. What tremendous people. When we left, I told Salah that it would be near impossible to top that experience. We started the camel trek late due to the long travel time and seeing the stars at night and the sun rise in the morning was exactly what I'd hoped.
J Zimmerman family, USA 2006

Had a wonderful time in Morocco. Thank you very much for your planning and advice. Time went so quickly but we seemed to do so much within the time we had there. Essalah kept us all amused and entertained for the 8 days, more so with his wit, and driving skills!!! Even talked him into sampling some vegemite!
L Taig and family, Australia 2006

Im just emailing to let you know that we had an amazing time in Morocco. The experience was more than we could have ever expected. Essalah was the best. He really kept the spirit alive in our group, and showed us a great time. The trip really wouldn't have been the same without him. We had alot of fun, and I'm really glad that we decided to book a tour with Morocco Explored. Thank you very much for an experience we will never forget.
