Fleewinter is warning customers of the urban myth which frequently appears in UK guidebooks to Morocco, which is that it is better to book a taxi in situ rather than through a tour operator or your hotel - it is not. Fleewinter utilises a family-owned and run company for all its airport transfers in Marrakech which not only costs the same or even less than by trying to organise it yourselves, but it also means the driver knows exactly where he is going (something which is not always easily communicated!)
Comments Alisdair Luxmoore of Fleewinter: “Only last week I was sitting next to a guy on a flight to Marrakech who was unable to find his taxi at the airport. He ended up calling his Riad from his UK mobile which probably added £8 - £10 to his taxi fare. Most drivers can’t speak English or French so giving directions is impossible (plus there are over 500 Riads in Marrakech and they won’t know where they all are). The metres are often broken making the fare something of a lottery and after they drop you close to the Riad – which are located down very narrow alleyways – you have to negotiate a second fare with a barrow boy to drop your bags at the accommodation (with us it is included); all in all, not a relaxing way to start a holiday.”
This free service (other than the cost of the taxi ride which is from £3.50 each way) is just one of the many advantages of booking a holiday through Fleewinter, which guarantees that all its prices are the same as, or cheaper than, booking direct. Call 020 7112 0019 (www.fleewinter.com)
