Our 10-day Morocco tour was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to Hassan, our guide. From the moment we arrived in Tangier, Hassan made us feel completely at ease. He was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Whether navigating the alleys of Fes or sharing tea with nomads in the Sahara, his passion for his country truly shone through. We felt safe, cared for, and inspired every step of the way. I can’t imagine doing this trip without him!
We had the pleasure of traveling across Morocco with Mustapha, and it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. He was kind, funny, and a true expert on Moroccan history and culture. Every stop from Chefchaouen to Marrakech was well planned, and he made sure we had time to enjoy each moment without ever feeling rushed. His driving through the mountains was excellent, and he knew the best local spots for food and photos. By the end of the tour, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. Highly recommend!
