moroccoMal C. - AustraliaMOROCCOAs a couple we were looking for a way to sample Morocco for the first time within 7 – days. We were considering driving around by ourselves but decided with little time for planning and not much experience in travelling North Africa, a guided tour might be better. I am happy to say that we made the right decision. Safety and convenience were provided on the tour which are the two things we were especially looking for.Said was an excellent guide and assisted us the entire trip when required. He was also engaging but did not pressure us into doing things that we didn’t want to. He also was accommodating to the fact that I was sick for the majority of the trip. I have lived in Europe for many years and have traveled Europe, Asia, North Africa repeatedly so I am impressed that the tour accommodating a range of travelers. The driver was professional and always made us feel safe on the road. I would recommend this tour to my friends and colleagues. Well done Travel Talk.2008-6-3Tour: Essential Morocco4
