Sahara, Atlas mountain tour - It was a life-time experience and I would highly recommend, the scenery and the wildness of the surroundings are from a movie set. I think it's the perfect trip for 2 days, the tour guide was a absolute legend 10/10 I would happily do it again....

Happiness - It was the trip of my life. When I had some problems the guide found ALWAYS a soluton. He let me see the best pictures of the trip. Hé was never in a hurry. He also told me about the culture. Very interesting. Everyone should make this trip. Next time I stay longer. There is still so much to see, to hear, and to feel...

Incredible experience - We took a 5 nights 6 days tour with Hicham, we travel all around Morroco and got a good sense of the Arabic culture. We visited Marrakesh, ouzazarte, merzouga (Sahara desert), Fez and Chefchauen. We got to explore so much with our time limitation and Hicham made sure to keep track of the time, always helping us to be on time and worrying about all the details for us to enjoy our vacation.

Awesome Morrocco experience with Housni - We had a great experience with Housni! We've spent 5 days together, traveling from Marrakesh to the Dades Valley, from the Sahara desert to Fes, and from Fes back to Marrakech, including a stop in Rabat and Casablanca. Housni has been extremely respectful, accomendating, and professional. He made us feel very welcoming and gave us a great sense of security and trust. He provided us with information, tips, and guidance throughout the whole trip, making our trip more special than we thought it'd be. This is a great company, and Housni is a great driver/guide. We definitely recommend it for anyone traveling to Morrocco. Thank you!
