Dear Sir or Madam. The best experience ever. We would like to thank everyone, who made such a fantastic event possible. It will stick in our memory forever. Also if you can speak to the Horses please thank them from my Wife and I. Kind Regards. Mr Elvet Owen Williams. UK.

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.

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.

Very relaxing. Skipper was great and plenty of cold beers in the fridge.
