Fabiana V2024-06-16Can I give 6 stars? Impeccable! That's the word to describe a week of traveling with Aziz and his company. He welcomed us to Casablanca with a box of typical sweets and made a point of wanting to know what we liked and what music we should listen to. We stayed in the best Riads and with the best food! He made sure we could go to the mall to buy clothes and other necessities (Royal Air Morocco lost our luggage) as many times as necessary. He showed his people, his friends in the desert and secured the best local guides in Fez and Marrakech. I appreciate the entire experience with Aziz and I recommend his company to anyone! He made a point of turning hours of driving between cities into unique and interesting trips and we left there friends!Ayeska M2024-05-26Desert tour with friends We took a 4-day tour in the desert with Aziz, and it was fantastic.

Our guide Aziz picked us up at our hotel in Marrakesh for 4 days of visiting the desert and surrounding cities and at the end taking us to Fez. The trip was incredible due to the landscapes, the itinerary and the guide gave us a lot of historical information. We were free to ask for stops or take as much time as we wanted anywhere. Aziz speaks fluent Portuguese, which makes it very easy. As we were 4 women traveling alone, having a guide who gave us confidence was essential. We felt safe in his company and everywhere he accompanied us. The proposed itinerary was also excellent. The hotels booked by Aziz were excellent, with great service and meals. It was indeed an experience that exceeded my expectations and was excellent. I recommend!Roberta R2024-05-15The best experience in Morocco.
