    My family (wife and 3 children ages 14, 10, 9) and I had an absolutely wonderful trek to the top of Toubkal. Communication from View Morocco before and during the trip was excellent. Transfer from Marrakesh was slick and we were picked up in a nice air conditioned 7 seater. Our accommodation in Imlil was comfortable, clean and friendly serving traditional Moroccan breakfast. Big thanks to our guide Rashid who was excellent. He was patient and set the pace just right - at no point did we feel hurried or under pressure to go faster. The trek is tough especially in the energy sapping heat of Aug. Rashid was great with the kids and my 9 year old son seemed to really take to him. I'd absolutely do this again and might consider one of the extended treks encompassing more peaks next time. Big thanks to the View Morocco team for looking after us :)

    I'm wondering, what kind of accommodations there will be on this track in winter. Probably no tents as it's too cold? May I ask how many people have booked this tour for this date already?
