Great day out for anyone looking to enjoy morroco’s beaxh

This being our 3rd excursion of our holiday I can say this was the best. Clear communication, AC which the other van we took on another trip DID not have in 37C weather, great guide Yasin. The main reason I gave this a 5 star was because of Yasin who very nice, told us how long the journey would take and gave constant updates. If you get a guide and it’s Yasin then you’re in great hands !

Bezoekdag Essouria

We went out with Charaf and Jawd to Essouria. They were punctual and greeted us warmly. Charaf gave us an explanation about the Berbers. Humor was also used during the explanation. We remember... do we want to marry someone? Then you bring sugar and flowers. Then hope for sweet tea. In short, a happy tour, a nice guide and a safe driver.
