Mount Toubkal Long Weekend

Climbing Mount Toubkal and our guide Azziz who was open and interesting

[Least enjoyed] I think the hotel in Marrakech is too far from the centre.  35 min walk in august not good and taxi process is painful due to haggling etc.

Excellent trip from start to finish and would book again. Nice group size of 7.

Excellent group leader with real passion for mountains and Morocco

the mixture of city/rough i.e excursion to Mt Toubkal followed by a day in Marrakech

[Least enjoyed] the travel arrangements were appallingly bad.  I arrived in Marrakech at 1:15 am and didn't get to the hotel until 2:30 or thereabout and wake up call the next morning (when we would have had to do a good 9 hours walk) was 6:30 or thereabout.  I didn't mind changing at Casablanca, although a direct flight to Marrakech would have been better, but it was the long wait in Casablanca and the fact that everybody else seemed to be on the earlier flight from Casablanca to Marrakech and they later told me there were lots of places free, so much that even the Air Maroc staff was prepared to let me fly on the earlier flight for no extra payment had it not be that I had checked in baggage.

hotel in marrakech wasnt central and bathroom wasnt new but it was spotlessy clean and beautiful.  Campsite wise it was my first experience camping and it was fantastic, I think I was lucky as I didnt have to share the tent otherwise tent might have been too small to share with a stranger.

group leader had a difficult job as he was dealing with a group that was mixed in terms of expectations, so top marks for that!

The whole experience was a series of 'highlights'. Our guide could not have been more helpful, courteous and diligent and we packed a huge amount into the four days of the trip without feeling harried. The Mount Toukbhal ascent day was wonderful and the lunch that we had the next day, before getting the bus back to Marakesh was stunning  - in terms of location and quality of the meal.

Asis made the whole trip a great experience for the whole group. We had people with differing levels of treking experience and he, and the assistant guide, supported the slower members of the group so that everyone got to the top and felt confident in the support that they got. He also went out of his way to find us restaurants that suited our interests and pockets and gave us advice on where to go in Marakesh. I have done three Adventure Company trips now - Kili, Everest Base Camp and the short Toukhbal weekend.  Asis was in a different league from the other leaders - although the others were more than adequate.
