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.

We had a great day touring Morroco. We traveled by ferry from Algeciras. Alex met us at the ferry station, organized getting our tickets and getting us to the bus on the other side. Abdul was very knowledgeable and a great host of his hometown Tetuan.

This was one of the best tours that I have ever been on. Alex and Abdul allowed us to see a day in the life of the locals without feeling touristy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to visit Morraco to take in its rich history.
