No words to describe!
Thanks for Mr Mohammed, a young and friendly driver, being with us in our tour.
We enjoyed so much his skillful and safe driving style and appreciated his hard-working in arrangement in routine driver duty, besides he also played a role as a local guide.
What we felt most warmly is to have a special family home visit in Rissani Berber village, tasting a delicious big Berber pizza for lunch.
I strongly recommend this tour service especially for experiencing longer days tour.
