Loved every minute!
The best 8 days ever. Loved every minute of the trip. Our guide Omar took care of everything.
We just flopped into the car every morning and we were driven from town to town and from one beautiful landscape to another.
He handpicked every official guide in the main cities and made sure we were always in good hands.
Our trip was definitely memorable and we have to thank Omar and all the staff behind this company.
Many thanks for everything!
We just finished an 8-day tour with Hassan - Our driver/guide - and have been 110% satisfied.
Hassan’s in-depth knowledge of and passion for his country made Morocco come alive for us.
From an impromptu stop for a visit with some nomads to a tea ceremony with the local imam to a camel ride in the Sahara to a wander through a Berber farmers market, Hassan led us to get a real sense of a beautiful country.
With many, many thanks from the Luxes from Canada !!
