Excellent guided walking in the High Atlas Mountains

Very belatedly (a group of 6 friends early May 2014)I wanted to say how much I enjoyed my recent guided walking holiday in Morocco arranged through New Experience Holidays. The office was always helpful and I found the arrangements to be excellent, from our meeting and transfer on arrival at Marrakesh airport to the final transfer at the end; the hotels were all excellent (Clefs Du Sud Riad in the Medina, Village de Toubkal only reachable on foot in Imlil and Chez Momo with a fabulous garden and pool in Ouirgane, and the staff could not have been more helpful in Imlil and Ouirgane; the walks, while sometimes tougher than I had anticipated, were all fascinating and our guides had the good judgement and foresight to adapt them to our general walking abilities. I would like to flag up Ibrahim Jellal, the guide we had for the Imlil section of the walking; quite simply, he was excellent and so thoughtful and caring without making it obvious that he was always aware of how we were keeping up with him and coping with the terrain under foot. And he was informative about anything related to Morocco and Berber life that we thought to ask. The pre-travel information was also useful as were the notes on each destination. Having been on 8 self-guided tours with another company I luxuriated in being guided - essential on this trip as waymarking is non-existant - enabling us to arrive in good time at our hotel to relax and enjoy the facilities as well as happy in the knowledge that we would not get lost.
