We took the 7-day Marrakech desert tour, and it was truly fantastic. We visited unforgettable places. Mohamed was the best guide I’ve ever had—always kind, friendly, and smiling. The luxury camp and the Riads were also perfect. I highly recommended anyone to do this itinerary
Abbiamo avuto un’esperienza eccellente con Hamid durante il nostro viaggio nel deserto. È stato una guida eccezionale – molto amichevole ed entusiasta. Ci ha portato in posti meravigliosi e ci ha fatto sentire come una famiglia in Marocco. Lo consigliamo vivamente, insieme a Med Morocco Tours.
Nuestros 7 días en Marruecos con este operador turístico fueron perfectos! Mohammed, nuestro conductor, fue muy amable y simpático, y nos explicó todos los lugares que visitamos. Recomiendo este viaje porque nos permitió experimentar el desierto como auténticos bereberes. ¡Definitivamente volveremos para visitar las ciudades imperiales con él.
