Marrakech Tour Reviews
“Amazigh villages among the Atlas Mountains”
Mohamed I. was an excellent guide. He understood what our interests were via our messaging of each other. He and his excellent driver (also Mohamed) gave us a great tour of the valleys. His English was excellent and the information he provided during the trip was what we were looking for. Being in our 70's he understood how far to push the physical part of the trip to ensure enjoyment without overdoing it. Kudos to the Mohameds!
