Discover Ltd Traveller Reviews

My holiday was hiking in the Atlas mountains staying at Kasbah du Toubkal and their remote trekking lodge. They organized everything perfectly and my guide, Houssain, was fabulous. The food, lodging, and onsite hammam were great. All the staff worked to make sure your holiday was perfect, which is was. I would highly recommend them.

Kasbah du Toubkal was excellent in the arrangements, letting me know what to expect and what to pack.

Our holiday was exactly what we wanted it to be. Our stay in Marrakesh was lovely, the riad was a peaceful oasis from the busy streets of the city. The location was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our room was beautiful, special shout out to the amazing doors! Next was our adventure to the Atlas Mountains and a stay in 2 incredible locations. Each was special in its own way. The Kasbah was like staying in a castle, but more comfortable! The food was good, nourishing and very plentiful. The staff were lovely, kind and helpful. Our trekking guide especially was brilliant. Our stay in the remote trekking lodge was unforgettable. Comfortable, warm, and peaceful. The walking was exceptional, challenging and exhilarating. We came home feeling more relaxed having walked every day than the beach holiday we had earlier in the year!

Communication was excellent at every stage. They were friendly and informative. Everything went according to plan at every point, we had complete faith which made the whole thing incredibly relaxing.

We had a wonderful holiday! The itinerary was perfect for us as a family of 4 with 2 teenagers - a bit of adventure mixed with relaxation. One of the highlights of the holiday was defintely the people. Everyone we met was extremely friendly, happy and helpful - there was no hassle. It was good to see how you were employing people from the local area as all our drivers were from Imlil. The Kasbah was a perfect start for our switch off - tranquil, lovely food and we enjoyed a walk in the valley with one of the guides. Our driver was on time at the airport and drove us safely to Imlil where we were met by the donkey to help with our luggage - an experience that won't be forgotten and added to the charm. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool area and the Hammam. The transfer to Marrakech was straightforward and the Riad was nice. 2 days in Marrakech was enough for us - whilst it was good to see, it was hectic. We enjoyed a Moroccan food tour and some shopping. Essaouria was lovely too. The Riad was good, a little noisy on occasion but we understand it's a more authentic property. It was perfectly located to explore the Medina and the beach. Transfers to and from were comfortable and on time. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed days surfing on the beach and took a quad tour with evenings spent discovering hidden restaurants and the Medina. The only negative was a feeling that some areas might be on the cusp of over tourism. Imlil is obviously doing well from visitors but tracks need to be maintained and kept clean from rubbish. Appreciate this might not be something Discover can control. All in all we would definitely like to return to Morocco to explore more of it.

Discover handled all our requests eficiently and arranged a great holiday that met our needs. We felt well looked after throughout.

I am back home but my heart is still on Toubkal. This trip was a spiritual experience for me: the ruggedness of the High Atlas, its silence, finding myself immersed in nature with its sounds and smells, the dignity of the Berber people... and let's not forget the delicious food... everything was so authentic and touched me deeply.

The welcome at the Kasbah du Toubkal was warm and the service impeccable. The warm and welcoming atmosphere immediately immersed me in Moroccan culture, and the delicious dishes truly satisfied me. The staff was always kind and helpful. A special mention goes to our dear guide, Mohamed Aziam, who led us with professionalism and great empathy to discover the beauty of Toubkal. We were equally satisfied with our accommodations at the lodge in the Azzadin Valley. The overnight stays in the high mountain refuges had all the necessary amenities, and the staff at the Kasbah du Toubkal always looked after us.

We booked a one week holiday through Discover UK for a family of four. The week was split as four nights at the Kasbah du Toukbal near Imlil in the Atlas Mountains and three nights in Marrakech, staying at the Riad Siwan. Both accommodation venues were fantastic, amazing staff and brilliantly located. The Kasbah du Toukbal has incredible views into the valley and towards Mount Toukbal itself and stood in the pool looking out into the valley is one of the most incredible views from a pool you could wish for. Numerous guided walks are available in the area and we reached out on our own for one short circular walk up to Aroumd and back to Imlil. Numerous friendly locals along the way helped with any uncertainties over directions to take and generally everyone we met was extremely friendly and helpful. In Marrakech whilst our Riad was changed in advance of our stay to the Riad Siwan, in hindsight we were very pleased it was as in our personal view the location is better. Whilst we did not see inside the Riad Les Yes Bleux (which is under refurbishment) the Riad Siwan was luxurious to stay in, immaculately furnished and with amazing host and staff. The Riad leads directly onto one of the main streets and is within 10 mins of Jamaal el-Fnaa square. Our porters and drivers at each venue were also excellent.

Both before and during the holiday the Discovery team were extremely helpful in answering any queries we had and in also arranging transport to our onward destination of Agadir. Everything ran smoothly with excellent transport arranged between the airport and Imlil and again between Imlil and Marrakech.

We booked a celebratory family get-together holiday for 7 adults with Discover Ltd this June. We spent 3 nights at their riad in Marrakesh, Les Yeux Bleus, and 3 nights at Kasbah du Toubkal. We were looking for a stress-free, varied holiday to suit the whole family with plenty to see and do, and with a touch of adventure. They did not disappoint. All the planning, bookings and information received went very well, and communication with the operator was personal and accurate. They included all transfers, which were well worth it – very professional and informative staff and comfortable cars with plenty of water bottles and air con. Our stay in Marrakesh at the Riad Yeux Blues was wonderful. It is really 'atmospheric', well-decorated in typical local style and materials, with comfortable rooms, plenty of areas in which to relax and excellent staff who were incredibly helpful and efficient. The roof terrace is in need of a little sprucing up – furniture in need of repair and more regular cleaning required (the dove mess, mainly) – but it was spacious and quiet, and the cold plunge pool was a godsend on hot afternoons. On one night we ordered dinner up there, which turned out to be one of the best meals of the whole trip. Absolutely delicious and huge fun! The other good thing about this riad is its location; it's just off a wide street in an open space and is a great starting point for all sorties to sites within the medina, which are quite nearby and easy to find. After 3 happy days, we travelled to the Kasbah, 1.5 hours by transfer from Marrakesh. Wow! What a thoroughly uplifting, immersive experience. The location has to be the most stunning for miles around, the views spectacular, the breezy air so fresh, and the peace so relaxing, with just the sounds of waterfalls, birds and the occasional call to prayer echoing across the leafy valley. It felt like a real privilege to be up there, surrounded by the majestic mountains and the gentle Berber hospitality that is mentioned a lot in the Kasbah literature. It really does feel authentic, and personal, and is very memorable as a result. The Kasbah buildings also have that authenticity, built by locals in the local 'style' rather than something ostentatious and at odds with the surrounding villages. Even the new tower and swimming pool, whilst impressive, blend in harmoniously. We stayed in the whole of the Garden House. Like some reviews already posted, we agree that this accommodation needs a refresh and attention to detail, the Garden Apartment especially. The cupboards in the kitchen were full of mismatched items, not all clean, and the facilities were basic: no hot water in the sink tap, the kettle didn't work, switches/sockets were in odd places with no logic or indication as to what appliances they were for, and we ended up accidentally switching off the fridge at one point! The sofas, throws, tables and chairs are quite outdated and clash with most of the other furniture, which has much more of a Moroccan/local feel and adds to the overall genuine feel of the Kasbah. But the beds were very comfortable, and our bathrooms had plenty of towels and hot water (and gorgeous carved wooden windows), and all areas were spotlessly clean. Notwithstanding, none these things detracted from our enjoyment of the privacy, comfort and situation of the accommodation. From the Kasbah we were able to organise day treks to suit all members of our party, including a mule for occasional support. The guides were very knowledgeable, and the views from high up were astonishing. When not trekking, we walked down into Imlil village to explore, and around the Kasbah grounds. We loved the little areas of cultivation - roses, flowers, shady trees and tranquil sitting areas. All very peaceful. The food, whilst a bit repetitive, was delicious, plentiful, fresh and mostly local. We would have liked the option of lighter lunches on the terrace, mainly because breakfast and dinner are such feasts, and it would have also been helpful to have had more veggie/vegan options on offer. Mint tea and little nuts or fruits are offered frequently if you sit on the terraces or salons, which is a nice touch. And the plentiful water from the natural spring is amazing. It tastes so pure! Our fellow guests were mostly walkers of all levels and nationalities but others were just there, like us, to enjoy the wonder of the High Atlas Mountains in good company. I would recommend reading the FAQs for the Kasbah before booking. It explains the unique 'vibe' of the place and helps to manage expectations. The ethos of the whole enterprise is what attracted us most, and we enjoyed our stay more knowing that the benefits were not just to us but to the local community that hosted us too. Thank you Discover Ltd for such a great trip and we look forward to booking another in the near future.

Discover Ltd. are professional, knowledgeable, approachable, helpful and efficient.

Stayed 8 days in the Kasbah du Toubkal; Essaouira; and Marrakech, all organised by Discover Ltd who own the Kasbah. Everything was superb, including the Discover Ltd recommended and organised Riads in both Essaouira and Marrakech. The highlight though is the Kasbah itself and its wonderful local staff - its a very special place and we hope to return again one day to spend some more time in the wonderful Imlil valley.

Superb experience all the way through - from initial enquiry and help in finalising an itinerary through to communications and organisation at every stage of the process. Highly recommended.

5 days of enjoyable trekking in the Atlas Mountains

Discover Ltd were very professional and responsive to all requests and enquiries

My daughter and I stayed at Kasbah du Toubkal in Imlil and a riad in Marrakech. Amazing places!

Very good communication when booking and fine tuning our holiday. The transfers were all in place and I had nothing to worry about. Loved it!

We did a 5 day hike in Atlas Mountains and loved it. Apart from the spectacular scenery, our guide Hussein was terrific. The lunchtime picnics on the mountains with cooling mint tea and delicious food was a fabulous surprise. Kasbah and lodge very comfortable and staff friendly and accommodating. We’ve already recommended to our hiker friends

Seamless, positive experience
