Discover Ltd Traveller Reviews

Five nights in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. We had a choice of walks and covered 62km in four days in beautiful scenery. We stayed in the Kasbah du Toukbal in the village of Imlil, some 60km from Marrakech, where we spent two nights after our hiking

Our tour consisted of a week of travel in Morocco, all in the hands of Discover LTD and staff of the Kasbah du Toubkal. We were picked up in Casablanca, taken to Kasbah du Toubkal for 2 nights, on to Marrakech for 3 nights, on to Essaouira for 2 nights, and finally back to Casablanca on our last day. By far, this was one of our best holidays ever. Throughout the week, we had an excellent driver named Rashid who was a wonderful guide and host. During our time at the Kasbah, we took 2 treks with a wonderful guide named Ali. The full-day trek with picnic lunch was the highlight of the trip. Other staff associated with the Kasbah were equally great – it is a unique and marvelous place for relaxing and learning about the Moroccan culture. Two of our group had dietary restrictions and the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The balance of the trip in Marrakech and Essaouira was also great. We were booked in very nice Riads (Les Yeux Bleus in Marrakech and Madada Mogador in Essaouira), in excellent locations, with fine accommodations and attentive staff. Although we might re-balance our itinerary to spend more time at the Kasbah, overall we would not change a thing about our trip. We particularly want to applaud Discover LTD and the staff at Kasbah du Toubkal for all the ways they are contributing to the environment of the Imlil Valley, and the well-being of its inhabitants. It is a very special initiative.

From the first encounter, Kerrie Wrigley at Discover LTD did a marvelous job of understanding how we wanted to organize our trip, customizing arrangements, and communicating on all aspects. All encounters during the trip were exceptional -- the transportation, lodging, meals, treks, etc. were great. I would definitely book through Discover LTC again.

In less than two weeks we experienced a trip of delightful contrasts and exceptional hospitality. Discovery group arranged all our transport and accommodations and we were able to truly relax and explore!

Discovery planned everything and were very responsive!

Our trip covered a stay at Kasbah du Toubkal with trekking in the High Atlas Mts. and several days in Marrakech. Arrangements made by Discover, Ld. exceeded our expectations in all respects, including lodging, drivers, and mountain guide. Everyone provided professional and courteous service. We would not hesitate to use Discover, Ltd. again or recommend them to others.

We used Discover Ltd. to arrange a family holiday that would incorporate city time in Marrakech, trekking in the Atlas Mountains, a stay in the desert, and time at a relaxing resort. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything from logistics to food to our tour guides to quality of accommodation was top notch.

Discover Ltd. was always easy to contact and fun to work with. They took one of their existing itineraries and adjusted it to fit our family's preferences perfectly. Each aspect of our trip exceeded our expectations. We felt very supported both before the trip and while in Morocco. Bravo, Discover Ltd.!

Transport was provided from Marrakech to the Kasbah du Toubkal in the High Atlas (and return). Great stay with 3 nights at the Kasbah and 2 nights at the remote Trekking Lodge. Wonderful trek with a guide (and lunch cook on two days) hiking through mountain passes to remote Berber villages. Food and accommodations were all excellent.

Great to work with - very efficient and helpful throughout the booking process and delivered as promised! Would recommend and use again.

Nine day tour in Morocco with Discover Limited with only my partner Elena and I. Each day was highlighted by exciting experiences including a day tour of Marrakech, a cooking class for two by Chef Tarik at a farm outside of Marrakech, two nights at Kasbah du Toubkal including walks in the HIgh Atlas, remarkably pleasant accommodations at Kasbah Ighnda, an enchanting night in the Sahara desert and camel ride at dusk, and the luxury and class of the Jardins de Skoura. Our three nights at Marrakech's Demeures d'Orient was most comfortable and the owner extremely friendly and accommodating.

Well organized and executed. Our tour driver Soufiane was excellent, always on time, courteous, respectful, highly informative on Moroccan culture and, most important, a safe driver, especially through the winding road of the High Atlas. Our only disappointment was with Abdelatif, our tour guide for one day in Marrakech. His tour was comprehensive and informative. However, when we told him we had toured the souks and central square of Marrakech the previous day, he insisted on returning there for "things we didn't see." Then he proceeded to almost literally drag Elena into a boutique cosmetic and spice store where we purchases $30 of products for twice the price we could have purchased a few meters away. Then he insisted we visit his "favorite rug store." After we spent only ten minutes in the store and left, his mood changed dramatically. Clearly he was upset by "losing a big commission." He then began to dismiss the inexpensive articles we bought which we thought representative of Moroccan culture. Finally, he insulted two elderly Polish women who just happened to stop by for a few minutes to listen to him talk about a museum door. The final hour of our tour was rather tense. Clearly the tour operator needs to clarify the tour guides' job. Personally, I would fire him for his conduct.

We spent 3 nights in the Riad Azzar in Marrakech and 3 nights at the Kasbah du Toubkal which we had already visited in 2005, this time with friends who had never visited Morocco before. The trip was very well organised, our hosts were excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

We have used Discovery in the past for a similar trip for our daughter’s 21st birthday. They have maintained and improved where possible their very high standards of organisation, transport and accommodation

Fantastic hiking in the High Atlas with a guide that both took care of us and at the same time challenged us to do more than we thought we would. Even though the Kasbah du Toubkal Is marketed as a hospitality centre we expected slightly more in the way of variety of food. The hotel rooms are in need of renovation. Still it was an excellent experience and I would go back.

We got all the information when we needed it. Everything in the our itinerary was as planned.

Our trip was planned by Discover LTD. We had the best time at Kasbah du Toubkal, truly unique hotel in High Atlas Mountains. The rest of the trip was full of great adventures well-planned and immaculately executed. We didn't have one concern and thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in Morocco. We will be happy to recommend Discover LTD to friends.
