EXCEPTIONNEL! Nous étions un groupe de 9 adultes et avons effectué deux excursions avec Mohammed: la découverte de la vallée de l’ourika et le couché de soleil dans le désert de Agafay avec le MEILLEUR des guides possible : Mohamed ♥️ Il est d’une ponctualité exemplaire, gentillesse, bienveillance incroyable ! Nous avons passé de merveilleux moments de découverte et de partage avec lui ! Nous le remercions du fond du cœur et le recommandons à tous les touristes qui souhaitent découvrir Marrakech et région. Son bus est neuf, peut accueillir des groupes jusqu’à 15 personnes et peut même se transformer en discothèque avec jeu de lumière 😉 un séjour inoubliable grâce à lui ! Hâte du prochain voyage à Marrakech ! Merci pour tout Mohammed, à très vite !
