5.00With Emilio the organization was easy and very agile. Always watching for all the details. Upon arrival at the airport we were picked up by Mohamed with the SUV and started the adventure in Fez. Excellent driver, always attentive with the trip organization and resolving any incident that arises (we forgot a garment in Fez and managed to bring it to Ouzina). Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience

5.00It was a very special trip. We went from Marrakesh to the Ouzina Desert, through the High Atlas and through the ksar of Ait ben Haddou and from there, to Merzouga where we rode a camel and slept in a jaima. Along the way our guide and drivers, Hassan, Mohammed and Said, showed us wonderful corners, answered all our questions, answered any requests we had, shared with us their stories and their passion for their land. We are very grateful to you for making this trip so special, we feel as part of the group. We will return to Morocco because we have loved it and we will certainly do it with them.
An unforgettable journey

5.00It has been a very special journey of those who build memories that you never forget. To highlight the nights in the desert, especially in the Riyadh at the foot of the dunes in Ouzina. The guides have made the trip even more special and have infected us with their love of the desert, I wish I could have stayed some more night there and I am sure that one day I will return. We went with our children between 10 and 20 years old, all delighted with the guides and with the trip, like us. I recommend it 100%

5.00Our trip to Morocco with Family Morocco Tour and TGM has been a wonderful experience, my partner and I have gone, and every day has been worth it. Morocco is a beautiful country with a wealth of culture and people. On the trip we were accompanied by Ali our driver and travel organizer with Emilio from TGM. Ali has treated us wonderfully and made us feel at home, always attentive to our needs and open to hearing suggestions for improvement. The trip with him has always been comfortable and told us all the information of each place we went. Visiting the desert has been a unique and highly recommended experience. All the hotels (Riyadh) meals, and transportation, have been very good, and with always attentive Service. We are more than satisfied with the trip and therefore I give it 5 stars
An amazing experience
