“This trip was honestly the highlight of our 8 days in Morocco. ADIL our driver was amazing, super friendly, kind and attentive, always making sure everyone was okay.

“Our driver was Imad. Overall we’ve enjoyed our tour. I wish we would’ve provided more information on days Itinerary in advance or at the beginning of each day.

The local guides were pretty good and we’ve enjoyed our camel rides.”

“We went into this tour with high expactations due to good reviews, but were disappointed: 1. We booked a english speaking tour and were put into a spanish/portuguese tour. We were the only ones that did not speak this languages. 2.
