5 Days tour from Fes to Marrakech costumers reviews:
The trip with Rachid was fun. A great change from Fez to Marrakech and bustle in the city. Riding the camel could have been saved.
I do not think this is generally appropriate, but everyone has to decide for himself whether he wants to do this to the animals. The hike is not suitable for sandals. The landscape is definitely worth seeing.
Very nice tour. Everything was perfectly organized and on time.
Extremely nice and helpful guides. Especially Rachid (driver and companion camel riding) and Hamid (guided tour of the country tour, waterfalls & lunch) were super nice, helpful and competent. Price-performance ratio of the tour absolutely top..
