Morocco is a passion! I always seek to explore and better know people, experiences, culture. E claro a arquitectura. The visit to the Old Medina was excellent. Mouhcine, the guide that accompanied me was excellent. Explaining in detail (and responding patiently enough) the most important points. The tour is well thought out, and provides a deeper view of the old Medina. No doubt a route to repeat on the next trip! Obrigada Mouhcine! All good for you!
