“The trip is very complete with several stops to take photos, the landscapes change throughout the trip. Everything is very well organized, luckily we had a small group of eight people. Nothing is expensive. Our driver Mehdi was very nice, friendly and spoke Spanish and French in addition to Arabic and English. He was very flexible and told us many anecdotes about the local culture. Mehdi drove very well and safely. I hope you get the same driver. Overall, very good experience!” - Reviewed on 2024-04-19
