Great trip to Atlas Mountains and Marrakech

We had a nice hotel room in Marrakech and enjoyed our time there and in Essaouira. With the exception of a hitch at the airport all transfers and drivers were done professionally and the cars were in great shape. Kasbah Du Toubkal in Imlil is a nice property, but in need of a refresh. There are tons of random documents all over the walls from volunteer events and groups from long in the past that take away from the beauty of the place. The ...

We had a nice hotel room in Marrakech and enjoyed our time there and in Essaouira. With the exception of a hitch at the airport all transfers and drivers were done professionally and the cars were in great shape. Kasbah Du Toubkal in Imlil is a nice property, but in need of a refresh. There are tons of random documents all over the walls from volunteer events and groups from long in the past that take away from the beauty of the place. The food was good but there wasn't much variety - breakfast was the same every day and lunch/dinner was always a tagine with melon for dessert. It was exotic food on the first night but by the 7th night (including the high mountain lodge) it was too repetitive. Our room had random couches, blankets and decor that needed to be rethought and coordinated better. But the property is indeed lovely; it just seems like no one has really looked at it in a long time. Great trekking guide and appropriately long treks every day which I'm sure they would have adjusted if we'd asked. They did a really good job providing hot lunches on the trail and setting up a place to relax. We really enjoyed that and the remote trekking lodge! Thank you!

Everything was organized perfectly. Good communication throughout and no problems at all.

Moroccan Variety

I was coordinator for a small group of Australians visiting Morocco for the first time, exploring Marrakech, Essaouira and then hiking in the High Atlas. We stayed in the Kasbah du Toubkal in Imlil. All arrangements (guides, transfers, accommodation and meals) were excellent.

Perfect

I booked a 3 night walking holiday with Discovery Ltd. I was travelling alone with an excellent, professional guide they provided. I walked south along the coast from Essaouria staying in a Riad and a gite. It was just superb. Everything was well organised and of the highest standard. I felt totally safe travelling alone and made to feel very welcome.

This is the third trip I have booked with Discovery Ltd. They are a very professional and well organised company. One of the reasons I choose to book with them is that they use local people providing much needed employment. They also run a scheme where 5% of the cost of all holidays is used to fund schooling for young women. My trips have always been exactly what I wanted due to the time Kerrie takes to plan them with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Discovery Ltd.
