Ali Ait Ichou

Ali was an amazing guide. We appreciated his wealth of knowledge about Morocco, but most of all we loved his willingness to share stories about himself and his family. It made the trip very special to feel like we got to know him as a person. We loved his great sense of humor and his patience with four crazy women. We had a lot of great laughs together.

I really can't say enough positive things about Ali. He was attentive to our every need. He shared his culture with us and I will never forget what he taught us—not only about his country and religion but about his people. We learned a lot, had a lot of laughs, and have such respect for the country and the people beucase of what we learned from him.

Ali is a very knowledgeable and personable leader and guide. He exceeded our expectations and made it a memorable trip. We especially enjoyed hiking in the Rif Moutains, walking in the medinas and souks, and our favorite of all, the Sahara camping and camel riding. What a fabulous time we had! Ali always answered all our questions with patience and facts and insight. He knows and taught us about his culture, food, people, history, shopping, geology, etc. His attention to detail was outstanding.

Ali was a wonderful guide and person. We can’t say enough good things about his knowledge, personal skills, warmth—and most of all his patience. He dealt with five different people with different needs, who often asked questions that had already been answered­—and never did he show anything but the utmost care and good will. He is a treasure­—Wilderness Travel should be very proud.

We cannot thank Ali enough for the wonderful experience he gave us in Morocco. It was such a learning and cultural trip for us and he added so much value to our travels. We enjoyed hearing about growing up in the High Atlas Mountains and his early interest in mountaineering and in tourism. He skillfully negotiated our way around the country, giving us a large dose of desert, mountains, villages, nomads, mosques, and souks. His professionalism and knowledge of his country were boundless. We will never forget this trip and the time we shared with him.

Ali was brilliantly wonderful. His interpersonal skills were off-the-chart fantastic. He was consistently incredibly astute--reading the needs of we travelers, and kind and informative. His superior blend of kindness, friendliness, and good humor, intelligence and knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills is rare to find in any professional, including those in customer service. He remained finely focused throughout our immersive experience and highly responsive.

Ali was one of the best guides we've had on any trip...and we've been on many all over the world. He had a sense of humor, an ability to relate very personally, concern for everyone's comfort and well being, and a clear sense of pride in his people and country that was very lovely.
