 My wife and I did a tour with Blue Men of Morocco in late May 2009.
We were thrilled with the quality of the customized trip we arranged to suit our own interests and meet our time frame!
Prior to finalizing the arrangement, we had a number of positive communications with Elena Hall to clarify what we wanted to cover on the trip. We were met at Casablanca airport by our delightful driver and guide Mohammed who proceeded to show us the sights of Morocco and share with us aspects of his life, family and his experiences of Moroccan culture and history.
The vehicle was a well maintained landcruiser wagon that was driven with care and patience - ideal for such a tour. Our riad accommodation in Fez, Marrakech and Ouarzazate was first class and in some cases of similar quality to some of the historic buildings we visited in these cities.
Our knowledgeable guides in Fez and Marrakech provided memorable days in each of these two fascinating imperial cities. We were able to make choices about what we did throughout and nothing was a bother to the bluemen. No negatives of any kind to report, no harassment, no confusion or bewilderment or other travel hassles, just a highly enjoyable 8 days in a lovely country and culture. We highly recommend this travel experience. |

 Many thanks to Elena at the Blue Men of Morocco, our small
family had a dream come true trip to North Africa in June of 2005. Elena was
very patient in waiting for us when we had a plane delay upon our arrival in
Malaga, and kindly took us to Algeciras for our ferry the next morning.
Upon arrival in Tangiers, we met with our truly wonderful guide who drove us
in air-conditioned comfort for 9 days throughout Morocco. We started at a
beautiful riad in Fes and toured with a top notch guide through the streets
of the old medina. We continued on to the Atlas Mountains, where we
experienced the Barbary apes, through to Merzouga and to Haven La Chance. We
had a stunning night under the stars, a visit to a Gnaoui tribe with some
great spirited music and dancing the next morning, after which we had a
delicious lunch with a lovely Berber family. Our camping trek into the
Sahara Desert on camels with a seasoned Berber guide was one of life’s
thrills.
We spent a few days in the spectacular Dades and Todra Gorges, the Valley of
a Thousand Casbahs, Ouarzazate, through the High Atlas Mountains and then to
Marrakech. Our riad in Marrakech was simply divine and air-conditioned. Our
guide in Marrakech gave us an exciting tour of the Medina and Jma el F’na.
The horse Fantasia evening on our last night there was magical.
We departed for Casablanca where we had a nice lunch at an ocean café before
continuing on to Rabat. We celebrated our anniversary at a charming riad
with glorious food that evening. In the morning we explored the Medina and
toured the old walled city on the bluff, then drove to a small beach town,
Asilah where we enjoyed the hotel’s pool. At long last, we headed to
Tangiers the next morning, stopping to encounter the Hercules caves before
our reluctant return to Spain.
Our family loves to travel, though this was our first trip to Europe and
Africa. When I envisioned our family’s trip to Morocco, I had an idea in my
head about traveling around the country. When I saw Elena’s website, I knew
right away she understood the way Americans, who like some adventure, want
to travel. She made the dream a reality for us, and is well-respected by all
of her contacts in Morocco. Our driver was so wonderful he felt like family.
We can’t wait to experience Morocco again with The Blue Men of Morocco! |

 We
were six people, looking forward to what was coming!
The passage Algeciras-Tanger was a good start, accompanied by dolphins.
Hotels: the Riads were magnificent, restored palaces full with curiosities.
Our stay in “La Chance” camping in Merzouga was luxury, all in and we
were pampered by the very friendly “blue men”.
The food was excellent, tasty and very much.
After the second day, we skipped the lunches.
Excursions: we visited palaces, mosques, kasbah’s, souk’s and a berber village,
all very interesting. |

 Having
just returned from a two week trip with the Blue Men of Morocco I would like
to recommend this to everyone.
There were six of us who were driven around by Zaid in a very comfortable
Mercedes mini bus which meant plenty of room for us and our luggage and all
the bits and pieces we gathered on the way. We were meet at the airport in
Casablanca and spent our first night in a great little Riad with in the
Kasbah at Rabat.Our second day took us to Fez via Meknes,Volobus and Moulay
Idress with a guide in each to enthral us. It is hard not to fall in love
with Fez with it's labyrinth of ancient winding streets. Maybe it was our
guide Amed who we all fell in love with or the beautiful Riad Norma.
Whatever, we had three days of visiting all the historical and interesting
parts of Fez and learning of some of the amazing crafts Moroccans are known
for pottery, mosaic, carpets, weavers,leather and the well known dying vats.
Then on and out to the desert and Haven La chance. The drive over the mid
Atlas Mts. quiet spectacular. Spring had just begin and the Berber farmers
had just taken their animals up into the Mts to graze. Over the otherside
and a big change of scenery. It can only be called dramatic. From arid
hillsides,spectacular sand dunes to lush oasis. We camped in Berber style
tents (but with all the comforts needed) and were fed extremely well. Rode
Camels into the sand dunes and camped one night out there and woke to see
the sun rise. We were taken to Bedouin villages to hear their music and had
lunch in the homes of genuine blue men. Bathed in the local Homman and were
feeling very privileged to have been part of their lives if only for a short
time.
Time to leave the desert and on to Ouarzazate via Todra gorge.Another
outstanding Riad with views of the snow capped Atlas mts.The drive over the
mountains again quiet spectacular and on into Marrakech. Elena from BMOM did
it again with an absolutely exquisite Riad. Three nights here enjoying the
hustle and bustle that is Marrakech. Then on to Essaouira. A picturesque
fishing town and it would seem a movie set.The whole town was being
transformed for a movie and we were told this was not the first. Our guide
Hassan took us to an amazing market early the next morning. We were
enthralled to see every form of livestock,tool,grain and even medicines,
food and clothing up for grabs and it made for some really good photographs.
On up the coast to Casablanca and regretfully the end of our fabulous
holiday. I can only say travelling with the Blue men is the easiest
travelling I have done.Every last detail was taken care of, the Riads we
stayed at were all first class. The guides and drivers could not have been
more obliging, friendly and fun to be with and if you get a chance to visit
this truly wonderful country make sure you go with The Blue Men of Morocco. |

 I
want to THANK YOU VERY MUCH. The trip was a complete success, in a big part,
thanks to you and Hmad. You two make a great team in benefit of us, your
clients.
The little drawbacks will be forgoten a lot sooner than the good things,
that will remain as a part of our good memories forever. Particularly the
Ryad in Fes. It definitively was the highlight of the tour. The place was a
lot more beautiful than we expected, even after having seen the pictures on
the web page. The attention of the hosts was warmer and friendlier than
imagined. This couple is wonderful, I wonder how they can make any bussiness
giving such a great service, at such an affordable price.
The guide in Fes was very nice, but the surprise was a very nice guide we
came up to in Volubilis. Remembering you had advised me against the guides
there, I was reclutant to hiring him, but he was so persistent, we finally
agreed. Then a spanish couple joined us and we had a most fun time....! The
guy spoke quite a good spanish, with lots of spanish slang, and even dirty
words, (properly used, which made us laugh a lot), It is a shame I do not
remember his name....
And yes, we rented the car from Hertz and we need to thank you ALSO for
this. You got us a super deal. Raúl told me even the Hertz employee was
surprised of how low the price was, but she had to mantain it.
So Elena, I say good bye for now, do not hesitate about ever asking me to
write a recommendation letter to any potential client who could be doubtful
(like I was), Un abrazo para tí y para Hmad. |

 I
have travelled extensively for many years. As a former airline employee and
travel agent, I feel comfortable making my own arrangements and travelling
on my own. Since I do not speak French, I wanted to leave Morocco to
professionals.
My dealings with Blue Men of Morocco were very professional and more than
satisfactory.
Although a Muslim country, Morocco is very westernized and VERY safe for
Americans. I just completed my second trip to Morocco. It is a beautiful
country, full of contrasts. My favorite is the desert. It is quiet, serene,
peaceful and clean. My stay in the desert has been the highlight of each
visit to Morocco. It is an unforgettable experience. The stars are so
bright, you can see your way in the dark. And when the moon comes up, even
though it is just a sliver, the light that it casts is unbelievable. Morocco
MUST be seen. |
