The four of us (two boys aged 3 and six) and my husband and I landed in Marrakech, not knowing what to expect from our first trip to Morocco. We
enjoyed staying in the Medina and taking in the sights and flavors and
smells of the busy tourist area in the city, but the highlight was
without a doubt Morocco Excursions.
Our driver picked us up
from our Riad in a large, clean, comfortable car and made sure to stop
at all the highlights along the way, like a monkey forest, and the
Switzerland of Moroco to make the time pass faster for us and the kids.
He was very knowledgeable and kind.
Once we arrived in Merzouga,
the magic began. It was beautiful, peaceful, and everything that we ate
the entire visit was absolutely delicious. For our son’s birthday,
Hassan Mouhou and his friends serenaded him with Berber music and a
cake; he said it was his best birthday ever! We spent one night in
tents in the Sahara. They drove us there (adreneline pumping ride!) off
road through the desert – a beautiful experience for all of us. Again,
the food and music and company were perfect.
We couldn’t have
done it with out Hassan and his team. They really gave us a trip to
remember forever. And the price was really fair and moderate. Not a
single complaint.

Hi
We travel to morocco as a group , every year we go to a different place. Money permitting, we love to travel, but we tend to stay away from organized tours in the usual sense of the word since so often they tend to protect from really getting into the places, skipping from one tourist attraction to the next. This year we decided to go to Morocco, mainly because it seemed inexpensive, but after the vacation we were definitely in love with the place. We flew into Marrakech and were impressed immediately upon arrival by the airport building: its incredible roof outside is like lace and the sun shines through it, casting beautiful shadows on the pavement: there already was an incredible atmosphere greeting us. We took a taxi to Marrakech, with hundreds of scooters speeding around us! Our hotel was right off the Jeema el-Fna – an orderly chaos of smells, colors and sounds, by day and into the night! We hadn’t yet learned to not fall for taking pictures of guys with cobras , but that is how it started! We spent 3 days in Marrakech visiting the traditional tourist destinations before we were met by our travel guides MoroccoExcursions .com that we had selected for the real tour. From the outset, we found Hassan “MoroccoExcursions.com” an incredible person, full of joy, outgoing, but never intrusive. We left for Ouarzazate where we visited the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou (a lot of movies were made there) and then off to the Todra Gorges. Here we stayed in a hotel built in the caves! How wonderful! If you want I can give you its name. The next legs of our trip were the classic ones: Erfoud, Merzouga, Rissani, Zagora and Ouarzazate, The next evening we headed for a desert oasis on camels, to spend the night in a berber tent distinctly counting every star in the Milky Way (well, almost all).also how can we forget our stop on the way to Zagora, stopping to take a picture, when suddenly 4 children leaped out from nowhere offering a pony made of mud, they had made with their hands, in exchange for some candy! And when they accompanied us through the tiny dark inner passageways of a small town in the south, revealing the meaning of poverty, enabling us to quietly and respectfully peek into the everyday life of people in southern Morocco. And how can we forget our lunch, eating Berber pizza, in a small rug factory, sitting in the midst of all those dancing colors and so many types of fabric! I could go on for hours recounting the feelings, more than the places we visited, realy it was a magic tour , thanx to hassan & all “MoroccoExcursions.com team”

When I was planning for a trip to London and comparing hotels online I came across The Courthouse Hotel in Soho. As I am a big history buff it got my attention as an ideal place to stay while exploring the city.
Everything is well done at this hotel. The owners wisely incoperated the buildings previous life as a courthouse into a five star establishment.
One can now drink in the plush bar built in the space of the former holding cells, sleep in the former judges chambers, and relax and workout in the stylish spa and workout center.
Mick Jagger and John Lennon once slept here by necesity, today it feels like staying at a private club for lawyers in the middle of London´s hot Soho!

An internet search for an affordable hotel took us to the hip and trendy ‘De Pijp” area. On our previous trips to Amsterdam we never left the (very touristy) city centre. We were pleasantly suppriced by de Pijp. It turns out to be the ‘quartier latin’ area of Amsterdam. All young and hip locals go here for a bite to eat or a few beers. Our hotel recommended café Stof for dinner. A quaint little pub with restaurant quality food. The place was buzzing! Very friendly staff and very tasty food. No tourist trapps in ‘de Pijp’!
