    “One of the best 11-day tours I ever had was in Morocco. Our guide and driver were very good guys always funny and entertaining but professional. They show you the best places to take pictures and learn more about the local culture (their Berber, not Arab). They are very good and helpful and completely follow the planned route (and costs). I strongly recommend Morocco Vacations for tours around the country.”
