Morocco is a different country when Hassan is the tour guide. Always on time, thoughtful for our needs and requests, driving like a professional, excellent English and part of the team! We thoroughly enjoyed Morocco, and Hassan was a major reason for it. Highly recommended. Thank you for the memories.
Morocco is a beautiful country but it is difficult to explore on your own. It was a place we wanted to visit ages ago . We finally decided to go when a friend shared her experiences with us and recommended Hassan. I am glad we trusted her judgment because Hassan made all the difference. He organised for us
We went on a nine day trip to Morocco with our organizer and driver Hassan! The trip to Morocco was excellent and well planned . The accommodation was good and the experience amazing! The drive around Morocco started from Fez and ended in Marrakesh ! The drive around Morocco was comfortable and interesting !Thanks Hassan for everything!
