I and 3 of my friends had the privilege of having Mohamed or "Mo" lead us around Morocco for 9 days from Casablanca to Marrakech. The tour was informative, relaxed and full of laughter!!!!
The riads and hotels were all lovely . Food was excellent. Morocco is a beautiful country. But what made the trip was Mo and the personal care he took for the 4 of us. Being 4 women traveling basically with someone we didn't know....from the start Mo made us feel comfortable and listened to what we wanted to do and see. There was no question or request that wasn't answered with "yes please and you are welcome to morocco".
Personal touches were found EVERY single day that we could have only had with Mo as our guide. We wanted to relive Casablanca with a drink at ricks cafe- done. We wanted to buy a fez in FEZ- done. Feeding Barbary apes on a snow covered mountain-done. Lunch with his family in Rissani -done. A toast sitting on the Sahara dunes at sunset- done. A toast on the beaches of essaouria on my birthday- done. Eating freshly caught local finish with the locals- done. An intimate tagine cooking class for the 4 of us and our new Moroccan friends -done!
Just the car trips discussing moroccan history , Berber culture and listening to all different types of Moroccan music were fantastic. He knew we loved some of his music choices so much that he gave us his own personal CDs as a gift.
I cannot in one review tell you all the special moments we had.
I can tell you if you want to have a fantastic time you will choose Mohamed to guide you. And on a side note , may I suggest some mahia or "water of life". Trust me , you cannot go wrong!
