1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
So many things really. We really enjoyed the treks that we did with the local guides (who were great) and one of our best meals in Morroco was with the Berber family (terrific Tagine). The views from the Kasbah bab Ourika were stunning.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
In the Souks do be prepared to say no politely but assertively if you aren’t interested in buying. It would be so easy otherwise to buy something out of politeness.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The guides while we were in the Atlas said that the employment created by the Kasbah was invaluable. It helped sustain local communities as young people were provided with jobs nearby rather than moving to the cities.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We both really enjoyed every part of the trip and the guides in both Marrakesh and the Atlas really gave us an insight into Moroccan culture and traditions. We would thoroughly recommend the tour operator who organised the trip.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Sleeping in the Sahara. Scenery. The graciousness of the people.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Very comfortable walking shoes. Check out the plans for guided trips and don't get overbooked. Take time to rest. Layers are the way to go with dress. Nothing
fancy.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I remain concerned about the use of bottled water. Wish there were a way to handle the issue. I remember on my 1968 trip to Mexico we had tablets to put in
local water. Must not have worked since we now drink the bottled stuff. We bought at the cooperatives. We tried to tip wherever we could ...especially
remembering the cleaners.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
It was excellent and well planned. We certainly got a taste of all there was to see. Loved the education of most guides. I have thought about writing the
Princess or the Minister of Tourism to say that the people who work with tourists would get more money if it were possible to get smaller bills. I am happy to
tip $1 or $2 or even $5 for the smallest of services but $10 and $20 make the tips add up too quickly.

Stay at the Kasbah Du Toubkal, winner of the Best Mountain category in the Responsible Tourim Awards 2004 (run in conjunction with responsibletravel.com). The Kasbah Du Toubkal is at the forefront of responsible tourism in Morocco, and has been recognised as such by the Responsible Travel Organisation.People
As well as using only traditional material and methods in the reconstruction of the Kasbah, all the staff come from the local area and the Kasbah is very active in the local village association, which is funded by the Kasbah's accommodation 5% levy. With the funds the association has purchased, and shipped from the UK, a vehicle to use as an ambulance and has also been able to build a hammam (steam bath) in the village which is used by the surrounding communities. More recently the association has assisted in the construction of a school for 80 children in a nearby village. It has also instigated a much needed rubbish disposal system.Popular similar vacations
