We really liked the tour. The guide is a native of Morocco and explains everything very well, it is seen that he has a passion for what he does. You really know the culture and traditions because it takes you in the middle of local places that are not touristy.

This was one of the best tours that I have ever been on. Alex and Abdul allowed us to see a day in the life of the locals without feeling touristy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to visit Morraco to take in its rich history.

Great guide in Gibraltar who was friendly and very informative. The view was amazing and we loved St Michael cave. Only negative comment is the number of stops and time it took to get from Malaga to Gibraltar. Bus was very comfortable.

We had a fabulous day, pick up was quick and easy. Guided throughout the day. Excellent trip and guide.

Had a great day , friendly , informative and value for money 10/10
