Amazing - There was a lot of walking but Tarik made sure to check in on us throughout the tour. The tour is long so be ready to walk, but every place we walked through was beautiful. we can't do this tour without Tarik any more and I'll admit he really made Fes special for us.

Cultural Tour of Northern Morocco - We were with our driver Yassine for one week. He picked us up at the ferry terminal in Tangier and drove us to Chefchaouen, Meknes, Fez, Rabat, and Casablanca. Everything was truly *wonderful*. More than just a driver, Yassine was almost a cultural ambassador, as he told us about interesting sites along the way and we chatted a lot about Moroccan culture, history, food, and music. We talked about his family and his son and learned about every day Moroccan life (for example, how they were celebrating his wife’s birthday). Yassine was always on time and super helpful, and he was easily able to engage with the whole family. He went out of his way to make sure we had a pleasant trip. For example, I noticed canary melons for sale at a roadside stand and he stopped, helped me pick a good one and negotiated the price! He kept us safe and “street smart” with respect to unlicensed guides. The van was very comfortable even on long drives. He stopped whenever we wanted. He knew the good places to stop along the way with clean restrooms and good food. I cannot recommend this company, and Yassine in particular, any higher. A true 5 star experience.
