Anas is a gem as a person, as a guide, and is very knowledgeable about Moroccan History/Culture/Geography. He was a pleasure to be with for the 10 days we traveled around the country. He was very respectful of our needs, always picked up us on time, always had great recommendations for restaurants, and made us feel at ease. He arranged the best city and mountain guides and accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. We had many great and lively conversations, in the car, during the long rides between towns. He went out of his way, several times, and we appreciated his local recommendations for stops, to discover the local culture and locally made products. We would certainly recommend Anas, and his team of guides and drivers, for any of your Moroccan travels.

Good Experience

My wife and I used this tour company for our trip to the Sahara desert, Skoura and then to Marrakesh. The trip was a total of three days. We had a great experience, the van that was provided to us by the company was new and very comfortable. Also, our tour guide Anas did a very good job, he was friendly and added a ton to our overall experience.
