“Great Tour to Middle Atlas - Mohammed was a fantastic guide. He picked us up on time in his clean car and took us on a tour through the Middle Atlas. He was willing to stop anywhere we liked to look at things and take photos. He was happy to move at our pace and was thoughtful - making sure we paid a fair price for things along the way. Mohammed was present and informative but also gave us space to explore some of the stops individually.” - Reviewed at 2023-11-06
