As
other
reviewers
have
said,
don’t
hesitate
to
book
your
Morocco
tour
with
Tilila!
I
took
a
9-day
customized,
private
tour
as
a
solo,
middle
aged
female
traveler
going
to
Morocco
for
the
first
time.
I
have
to
admit
I
was
a
bit
nervous
going
to
a
country
where
women
may
be
treated
differently
than
they
are
in
the
U.S.,
where
I
don’t
speak
any
of
the
official
languages,
spending
more
than
a
week
with
a
stranger
driving
me
around,
and
about
the
legitimacy
of
the
arrangement
to
pay
a
deposit
by
wire
and
then
show
up
at
the
airport
and
hand
the
driver
an
envelope
full
of
cash
for
the
remainder.
But
all
of
my
fears
were
for
nothing.
I
had
the
most
incredible
trip
and
I
am
so
glad
I
chose
Tilila
Travel.
There
were
no
surprises
about
the
accommodations,
itinerary,
or
payment.
Everything
went
as
planned.
Mohamed,
the
owner/manager
of
Tilila
was
patient
with
my
many
questions
as
I
was
debating
what
I
wanted
to
include
in
my
itinerary
and
the
dates
of
travel.
He
answered
my
questions
clearly
and
fully
and
was
available
by
email
or
What’s
App
from
pre-booking
throughout
the
trip.
My
driver,
Khalid,
made
me
feel
safe
and
at
ease
from
the
moment
he
picked
me
up
at
the
airport.
He
speaks
English
well
enough
that
there
were
never
any
communication
problems,
whether
it
was
talking
about
the
itinerary,
local
cultures,
the
landscape,
or
just
sharing
life
stories.
He
shared
his
knowledge
freely
and
was
honest
if
he
didn’t
know
the
answer
to
my
question,
which
was
rare.
He
gave
me
tips
for
enjoying
each
location,
taught
me
a
few
phrases
in
Arabic
and
Amazirgh
(Berber),
and
pointed
out
interesting
land
formations
or
landmarks
along
the
drive.
He
really
went
above
and
beyond
when
I
slipped
on
wet
tile
and
fell
on
my
tailbone
at
a
bathroom
stop
in
Errachidia.
Although
I
didn’t
think
the
injury
was
serious
Khalid
insisted
on
doing
whatever
made
me
most
comfortable
and
we
ended
up
getting
the
X-rays
to
be
sure
there
was
no
serious
problem.
Khalid
and
the
manager
of
the
gas
station/restaurant
where
we
stopped
to
use
the
restroom
accompanied
me
to
the
local
hospital,
helped
me
with
paperwork
and
translations,
and
stayed
with
me
while
I
waited
for
X-rays.
It
set
that
day’s
itinerary
back
a
few
hours.
It
was
already
a
long
drive
that
day
and
Khalid
never
seemed
rushed
or
frustrated
about
the
wrench
in
the
day.
In
fact
after
the
hospital
we
stayed
to
eat
lunch
at
the
restaurant
where
I
fell
and
it
was
the
best
food
I
had
in
all
of
Morocco
(which
is
a
land
of
excellent
food).
If
you
are
traveling
between
Merzouga
and
Fes
ask
to
stop
for
lunch
at
Lune
de
Desert
in
Errachidia!
We
had
the
kefta
and
chicken
tagine
and
both
were
phenomenal.
Throughout
the
tour
Khalid
kept
me
safe
and
I
enjoyed
getting
to
know
him.
I
chose
the
3-star
accommodation
option
over
the
4-star
option
and
glad
I
did
as
to
me
it
seems
like
the
3-star
options
have
a
bit
more
character.
Mohamed
provided
examples
of
each
before
I
booked
and
there
were
no
surprises
between
the
examples
and
where
I
actually
stayed.
My
favorite
was
Riad
Dar
Nadwa
in
Marrakesh.
I
enjoyed
how
nicely
appointed
everything
was
and
the
host
was
very
welcoming.
The
room
was
incredibly
spacious
and
beautiful.
Mohamed
also
stopped
by
the
Riad
to
meet
me
in
person
there
one
day,
which
was
a
nice
gesture
and
I
enjoyed
getting
to
know
him
a
bit
more.
My
least
favorite
was
Hotel
Ziryab
in
Chefchaouen.
The
bed
wasn’t
as
comfortable
as
the
other
accommodations
and
the
property
generally
seemed
a
bit
more
run
down
than
the
others.
However,
all
accommodations
were
clean
and
in
excellent
locations
with
hot
showers.
Most
had
very
comfy
beds,
a/c,
and
spacious
and
quiet
rooms.
A
few
had
pools
though
I
didn’t
use
any
of
them.
One
had
dinner
included
and
the
food
there
was
very
good.
Local
guides
in
Marrakesh
and
Fes
were
also
good
and
I
felt
safe
with
them
in
the
busy
souks.
I’m
not
a
big
shopper
and
the
guides
didn’t
pressure
me
to
shop.
Overall
it
was
an
amazing
trip
and
I
highly
recommend
Tilila
Travel!
