Magical Morocco

The trip to Morocco with a group of 16 people was great, incl. the local driver and a local guide Mbarek. I spent there a wonderful time with our friends and enjoyed the places, food, and all the program involved. There was fun and all the trips we’ve done were simply amazing and unforgettable. Morocco has its charm and beauty. Thanks a lot to both organizers for such a wonderful holiday, to Jana and to Mbarek, thanks to our whole group!…

The trip was fabulous, one of the best we have ever taken. I encourage everyone to add Morocco to their bucket list of travel destinations as the country has so much to offer culturally and scenically and hopefully, our experiences will be useful. Ismail was very professional, empathetic, and good company. We really enjoyed our Moroccan adventure…
