“My girlfriend and I did the 14-day tour from Marrakech across Morocco. It was an unforgettable experience, thanks also to our guide Hamid (a respectful, polite, and super helpful person) who showed us all the rural beauties from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert. We spent a beautiful and unique night in the desert, in the company of Hamid and the other staff, who gave us the privilege of letting us listen to traditional Berber songs. Highly recommended trip at all phases!”
“We had a beautiful 14-day tour starting from Marrakesh and passing through Rabat, Blue City, Fes the Merzouga desert, and many other beautiful places. We slept in beautiful Riads and our guide Youssef was very good as was the driver Hamed. Also, we had another really good guide in Fes and another in Marrakesh. The overnight stay in the desert camp was a fantastic experience and everything was perfect here too. In short, I recommend this agency to anyone willing to visit Morocco.”
