“Highly recommended day trip - The day trip was so much fun with Radi as we got to see many things for only one day. The transportation was great, comfortable and the driver was punctual. The itinerary was tailored for what we wanted. Radi (The guide) was very attentive and accommodating he offered us the best spots and info about each one. The camel ride was the highlight of the trip, the colorful markets and the shopping was fun as we practiced new skills for bargaining with Berber salesmen. Highly recommended!!” - Reviewed on 2024-11-27
