Morocco: Best of Both Worlds Traveller Reviews

We spent 3 nights at Kasbah du Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains, followed by 3 nights in Marrakech at Riad Les Yeux Bleus.

The arrangements were flawless. Everything ran to schedule without any hiccups.

Everything was perfect! People did what they promised, efficiently, effectively, and with pleasure. Riad Les Yeuxs Bleu was lovely and well-situated, Kasbah du Toubkal was spectacular, Imlil valley lovely, and the trek was brutal. Guide, chef and driver friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. When we return to Morocco (this was my fourth visit), we'll spend more time in the Imlil valley villages and at the kasbah. IF we were to do Toubkal again, I think I'd do it in 3 days -- first day as is to refugio, 2nd day summit & return to the refugio, and 3rd for the descent.

Effective, efficient, knowledgeable.

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!

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

Everything went smoothly and as expected. We were picked up on-time for each of the transfers included in our package. We enjoyed 3 days of hiking at the Kasbah du Toubkal. The guides were knowledgeable and responsive to our requests. We appreciated that the package included support for education of Berber girls in the area. Then 2 nights in Marrakesh at the Riad Les Yeux Bleus. The Riad was quiet and comfortable - an oasis in the wild hubbub of Marrakesh. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

Discover LTD did an excellent job preparing us for our Morocco adventure. Communication via email was easy and efficient. Our requests were responded to promptly. Everything about the trip came off as planned and intended. There were no surprise charges or unexpected glitches.

We stayed 2 nights in Marrakech in the Riad Les Yeux Bleues and had a great time going round the bazar and eating at amazing restaurants. I particularly recommend Nomad and La Famille. We were driven up to Imlil by a local driver with perfect English who told us all about the local culture and traditions which we found fascinating! Our trip was rounded up by 2 days hiking in the atlas mountains and enjoying the peace and quiet of the Kasbah. I would definitely recommend this as a 5 day getaway!

Kerrie has been incredibly helpful organiseing everything and has been very responsive throughout the whole process - even with last minute changes. I would definitely want her helping me out with my next holiday.

Awesome day trekking from the Kasbah de Toubkal to a remote trekking lodge. Great god and service even during Ramadan. We enjoyed learning more about Morocco and the Berber culture.

Flexible and well prepared

Kasbah du Toubkal in the High Atlas and Riad Les Yeux Bleu in Marrakech are both beautiful, fantastic places to stay - can't recommend them enough. All went smoothly with the flights and transfers (with only one small glitch with one transfer).

Booking all done very efficiently and helpfully. Appreciated the link to the weather website to ensure we brought the right clothes with us!

we stayed at the Kasbah du Toubkal for 3 days with walking in the mountains and had the most wonderful time. The staff at the Kasbah were excellent and very hospitable which added to the experience. We also stayed at Riad Les Yeux Bleus in Marrakech and again found everything perfect again. Would hesitate to return.

1st class nothing was too much trouble to arrange
