Beautiful experience; Moahamed knows the medina in depth and knows a lot about history. We felt very good at all times. Wonderful tour!!!
A guide who was just perfect!! Pleasant with a very good knowledge of his country. We had a very pleasant day in his company. We can only recommend it!!!
Mohamed was very flexible and patient. We had a great tour, very interesting and we even purchased a jacket with Mohamed's help. He was very aware when one of the group strayed and managed to keep us together.
A superb family visit, with tailored guidance and a very enjoyable experience!
A particularly rich, interesting, and informative visit. A highly knowledgeable and passionate guide, I highly recommend!
Muhammad was a good guide and took us to all the main attractions. He also brought us to good viewpoints over the roofs and over the leather tannery. He took us to places we couldn't find ourselves. Highly recommend.
