I had the privilege to be part of the unforgetable tour accross Morocco in late 2016. The combination of great people, a very well organised tour and 2 amasing guides made it an absolute treat! If you wish to see “the other side” of Morocco, understand the culture and have some fun, look no further, Brahim and Mustapha will make it happen for you!
