The trip was packed with many fun activity, you really got to experience full Marrakech and sahara desert. Our guide Houcine was very knowledgeable and friendly. Speaks pretty good English too compared to other guide we’ve been with before in Morocco. Totally recommended. On our very last day, he brought us to his city and the local, not touristy, market. Then we went for a picnic and boiled Moroccan tea for us together with his local city’s pizza.
