Client testimonials
This entire experience was amazing! From pick-up to drop-off, Houssain insured that our day was perfect. A highlight of my entire trip was eating lunch at his mother's home. The food was delicious and one of the best meals I had in Morocco. I loved learning about the history, riding camels, and stopping to see argon oil prepared. I would highly recommend this trip for any interested in getting a well rounded and well prepared experience..
A fantastic day trip where you truly got value for money. Having seen other group tours on the day, we certainly appreciated the experience of the one on one attention. Hamed was a great guide and answered all questions. It was great that he personalised the tour and gave several options at each stage and was extremely flexible.
