It was really great. Our guide Omar was amazing, such a caring , funny and happy person. He picked us up from our riad in Marrakech and was with us through the whole tour. In the first night in the hotel i was feeling sick and he even came to me and was helping. Omar = best tour guide. The tour itself was a lot of fun!
