1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Our vacation in busy Marrakesh was couterbalanced by the fact we were staying within the calming walls of Les Yeux Bleus.What a wonderful Riad.Our stay there was memorable.The architecture.The attentive staff. The proximity to the good restaurants that we could walk to that were recommended by the Riad. Our constant driver was called Rashid and he made the journeys comfortable and interesting.He drove with care. We felt safe and well looked after. Essaouira offered a change of pace and a chance to relax in Dar L'Oussia. A Spa treatment next door a swim etc. It was the Kasbah du Toubkal that proved to be the absolute essence of what we had hoped to experience in Morrocco.We were suprised by the unassuming generosity of those around us.The beauty of the place was reflected in the welcome of the peolpe.Our Guide Hussain who was with us for 5 days became our friend. Our every need was catered for and it all came together with such precision.Nothing was forgotten .Nothing late.Thank you.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
I would advise people to give themselves time.It is a country of infinity possibilities but take time to breathe it all in.Wear good sturdy shoes .Walking will be challenging if your feet are'nt supported.Keep small 10/20 dirhams change for little tips.Don't be too hasty to buy.Imlil though small had much of what you might see in Marrakesh but the pressure was off.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Tourism is key to the local economy very evident in Imlil and the surrounding area.It is a success story of somewhere built by the people for the people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
