    · October 9th, 2024
    We had a great trip with our guide Hassan and his well-maintained 4x4 Defender. Although some areas of our tour were not accessible because of heavy rain the weeks before, Hassan spontaneously changed the route and hotels. He was very flexible, well organised and punctual. Hotels and food were very nice. Our kids (10 and 13) also enjoyed the adventure-like holiday. Thanks to the many languages Hassan speaks, conversation was no problem for them. It was definitely not our last trip to Morocco and not our last with Hassan. I can recommend the tour, Hassan and his company Explore Morocco Travel.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of a 4 day tour, driven and escorted by IBrhaim. We were fortunate in that we ended up the only passengers for our trip, so it made it easier for him and us. His English was good and driving was excellent, which was important seeing we drove a long distance. Everything from the accommodation to food supplied surpassed our expectations. We recommend this Company
