NATION REVIEWS

Morocco is a wild and interesting place.

Morocco is a wild and interesting place. I'm glad I got to visit there with a great group.

Checked off a couple of bucket list items.

I was so grateful to be able to do Morroco with RY from Valencia. Checked off a couple of bucket list items.

Leave the planning to RY

Morocco is kind of a tough place to navigate on your own, so I'm happy I did this with RY (vs booking it solo). Having someone else plan the airport transportation, pick a place to stay, and think up an itinerary was really nice. Plus, I felt safer knowing that RY was taking care of us - i.e. their vendors would be trustworthy, if something happens there's someone you can trust to help.

The experience of staying in a Riad in the Medina was really unique / authentic (much more memorable than your typical hotel), and the Riad host was a huge help. We had an amazing, delicious breakfast spread every morning at the Riad, and the owner was so kind about offering to escort us to/from where we needed to be if we got lost.

I think RY has a couple of kinks to work out as far as the planned activities go (to be expected, this was the very first time they ran this trip). I'd like to see track-style choices - i.e. the group will do "abc" and then you can choose to do either "x" or "y" before meeting back up with the group for dinner. This would allow for people with different priorities/fitness levels/interests to fully participate. I really enjoyed the Berber tea house and the food tour with Taha though - both are things I never would have done on my own and were authentic local experiences.
