Everything from the moment I got picked up at my riad to the moment was perfection. The tour, youssef, everything exceeded my expectations and went on beyond my wildest dreams. Youssef was helpful, kind, and so knowledgeable, I have learned more from him than I would have ever learned in a book.

We did a four day tour from Marrakech to Fes using this company! Hassan Wadi our excellent guide and he took us through the beautiful Atlas Mountains including the best stops for photos and sightseeing. The drive through the mountains was a bit scary because of the winding road, but Hassan was the best driver and we felt comfortable. We really fell in love with Morocco thanks to Hassan, he is very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and happy to share his rich culture with us guests. The best part of the tour was the Sahara desert experience, the color of the sand, the feeling of being in a remote area. The camp was comfortable, the food was good, and the camel ride was a great experience. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to discover real life and a different culture with friendly people.
