Private tour on our own, without rushing, and enjoying Ifrane (European-style mountain village), the Middle Atlas (an absolutely incredible cedar forest, and the Atlas monkeys, which are much friendlier than I expected), the medina of a Berber village including a visit to a house carved into the rock, camels... Thanks to Reduan, who took us to all these places and did everything to make us have a great day.

Yassine is an excellent driver and we had a most enjoyable trip to Sefrou and the guide who accompanied us around Bhalil was very interesting. As a retired driver/guide for a luxury company in Portugal I full recommend this trip and Morocco Fez Tours. Could not be more satisfied, thank you Yassine!
