From very beginning, the owner of the company Mr Mehdi Lahrech gave us very professional suggestions and help us to design the trip, he always answered our questions very quickly ( day and evening ), and take care of all details. During the trip, he contacted us almost every day to check if everything went well.

The only advice I would like to give here, if you plan a trip to Morocco, you'd better to ask the this company to arrange everything.
