One of the best tours with the best tour guide!☺️

The tour was amazing! We went to some many different places in the span of the trip and learned so much with each guide that we had. On the way to the desert we stopped by a women’s collective with specialized argan oil products, passed by handmade carpet makers, historical buildings and monuments and had some great food and hotels along the way. The desert was so fun as well but the real highlight of the tour and the trip was our guide along the way, Samir!! He was one of the best tour guides I’ve had in my travels and always made sure we had everything we needed, answered all the questions along the way, always made us laugh and was overall a super friendly energy. Thank you Samir and I would definitely recommend you should go on this tour with him!
