May 23 – Weekend Events

Someone asked me for an update about the situation in Morocco…from where we sit, life is going on at a normal rate. We have not seen any sign of unrest…however…

I just read on the news that there were some more protests in Casablanca and Rabat – yet nothing was visible in our city of Fes. It appears that protesters wanted to set up tents in the main square across from the parliament…the authorities did not allow them.

As I talked with my friends, they said…”Demonstrations are a way of life in Morocco. They happen all the time and were happening in Rabat before all of this started with Tunisia and Egypt. Moroccan’s enjoy the freedom to march — we always have and this is not new.”

From the local point of view, this is just another weekend – with more people marching!

As far as our tours go, we have asked our drivers to avoid know areas of marches – but our travelers continue on as normal.

“What a fascinating country!”

We would like to echo Doris’s comments on our tour of Morocco. Ali was an outstanding guide and really made the tour a special and personal experience. Toto was a very good driver, smooth and safe at all times. The tour was very well selected for us and we enjoyed every minute of what is a fascinating country, wonderful culture and beautiful people.

We will certainly be passing on our positive experience to others and will be recommending Experience It! Tours to any of our friends considering a Moroccan adventure.

“Our trip was fabulous…”

Our trip was fabulous…we had a wonderful time. The highlight for us was the history and the architecture and the wonderful people. We loved the quaintness and peace of Chefchouen….It was a long way to go, but well worth it. The architecture and histroy at Fes was amazing…in particular the old Riads were just mind blowing.

“We loved every minute of it…”

Thankyou all for organizing such a fantastic trip. Everyone on our tour has raved about how incredible the whole experience has been.

There were so many highlights, from visiting a local school, to a friend riding a particular donkey,having a colorful world open up behind walls that gave no indication from the outside of what was waiting behind, to learning about the culture and being amazed at the beauty and intricacy of the decor. I’ve some excellent photos. The people are beautiful, the landscape amazing. To leave was sad. (Read More…)

May 9 – Protest Against Terror

Yesterday, according to the news, a few thousand Moroccan marched in Marrakech against the terrorism attack that they had in their city a few weeks back. It was peaceful demonstration.

Morocco continues to try to move forward despite the recent events – the local people are looking for a bright future.

From a safety point of view, Morocco appears to be as normal as always. Tours are continuing each day, as May is one of the high seasons of Morocco tourism. I talked with a client on Friday here in our Fes office and they encouraged people to “Come to Morocco — they feel no concern”. They are having a great time.

April 29 – Morocco Shocked

Yesterday, on 28th of April, Marrakech was shocked by a blast that was detonated in the Argana Restaurant near the Jemaa El Fna. From our perspective in Fes, Morocco was working so hard to maintain a positive image with all the unrest in the region. The bomb blast obviously is another setback.

We actually had clients in Marrakech on the day and others traveling there…they continued with some fear — but it turned out to be ok. We have had a number of emails and phone calls from clients asking about the safety…

My Moroccan friends are upset by the incident and telling me that Morocco is working hard for security. They are confident that it will continue to stand firm even though this has happened. We are praying that this is the truth.

Should you still visit Morocco? We are watching the next few days to see if there is any other action — hopefully this is a one off event. We would encourage you to take your time and decide for yourselves…

“We had a great experience…”

We had a great experience with you guys. Younes was world class and the guides that were selected for us for the tours could not have been any better. I would recommend Younes as a requested driver for anyone I know traveling with Morocco Tours. I will send you a picture when I get someone to show me how! We will be returning to Morocco again someday. (Read More…)

“The trip was terrific…”

The trip was terrific. All of the places we visited were wonderful and the guides that took us around were very capable. They were well spoken and had a wealth of information on the sites in that area. All of our meals, at the hotels, riads and restaurants, were great. (Read More…)
