    General comments: We just returned from a phenomenal 10-day tour of Morocco. We found our guide through a posting on a Website, and he subsequently sent me half-a-dozen references, one in my own hometown whom I met for coffee. After speak to him by email and phone and then meeting his reference in person, I felt quite comfortable booking him for our trip. He helped me plan our itinerary and booked hotels for us. Our itinerary was: Marrakesh - Ouarzazate - Tinghir - Merzouga - Midelt - Fez - Rabat - Casablanca. He picked us up from the airport with his driver and a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser. He stayed with us the whole time as we sped across southern Morocco, stopping in tiny Berber villages along the way. He also arranged a 2-day camel trek into the desert, along with sandboarding - one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. He was a knowledgeable, friendly and very competent guide. We never felt uncomfortable with either of them, and in fact we became very good friends with both of them. If we ever took a local guide in one of the big cities (local guides are required by law in each city), our guide personally introduced us to him in advance. the driver himself owns the Toyota and always made sure it was clean, functioning and safely guarded. He even arranged a cell phone for us, and texted us while we were with local guides to make sure everything was OK. Due to their knowledge and hard work, we felt like guests in Morocco, not tourists. He introduced us to numerous locals in a way that you are never able to in groups. We had tea with a Berber woman who lives in a cave and has 11 children. As he put it, She has very little money but a very big heart. This trip really put into perspective the diversity of life in our world, and we returned to Morocco amazed in every way; by the rich culture, geography, language, cuisine, and hospitality. We could never have had such an amazing experience had we not had the good fortune of finding a good guide.

    A short flight from London and I was in Casablanca; the joining point for the trip. I had arrived a few days before the trip giving me some spare time to enjoy the city. I spent my time exploring and getting totally lost on the Moroccan trains, which was not helped by the fact that my French vocabulary stretches as far as "bonjour" and "merci". I knew I should have paid more attention at school! After meeting the group for breakfast, we set off for the impressive Hasan, the 2nd Mosque before the ...
