Can’t say enough about how much we loved our trip to Morocco in big thanks to Moha. We traveled with our 3 kids aged 6, 8, 10 and they all were in love with Moha at the end. My daughter turned 10 on the trip and he bought all the kids presents! He even was able to get a cake for my daughter with her name on it….in the Sahara desert! Superb communication, very safe driving. He listened to what we wanted to do and was very accommodating. Will definitely recommend this tour company to others. Truly, could not have been better in every way.
