The trip was very enjoyable in many ways and covered most of the important sites in Morocco, although I personally would have preferred a little more time in the archaeological sites and would have benefited from visiting an archaeological museum in Rabat. The main problem was that almost every member of our group fell ill with a stomach complaint at some point or other, despite taking precautions such as not drinking the water or using it for teeth cleaning, not eating salads and trying to eat only cooked food. Having said this, the buffet food that we were offered was often only lukewarm and therefore may have been a source of diarrhea-inducing bugs. Since we had been told not to eat salad, it seemed perverse that we were often offered salad as a first course for any of our included meals. The penultimate hotel in Essaouira was not up to standard and we were grateful that the company moved us to somewhere better, but unfortunately as this was done at the last minute we were lodged a long way outside the resort. The bus driver was excellent; our guide was very good and taught us a great deal about Moroccan culture. The only problem was that his English was not always accurate or even comprehensible, although this didn't matter to me and my friend as we speak French.
Most members of the group enjoyed themselves and the many experiences the trip offered, but thought that this trip, only in its second year, could benefit from some refinement and the health problems we had really detracted from our enjoyment.
