5.00Our driver, Hicham, picked us up early from our riad, just as the streets were waking up. Within half an hour, the red walls of Marrakech gave way to open land. The noise softened, the air cooled, and the colors shifted from ochre to green. I remember a playlist of soft Moroccan songs playing in the van, sunlight spilling through the window, and the simple contentment of watching sheep cross the road. It already felt like another world.
Loved it! Thank you Mary!!

5.00It was just myself and the guide which made it great. Mary was very knowledgeable and down to earth. Not only did she take me to various sites, we also talked about things affecting the people who live in this beautiful city. I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00A circuit to cover almost all the points of interest of the city of Santos, see more in half a day! Explanations with a date, a service with little care (collection at the hotel, bottle of water, air conditioning on board the vehicle, consideration of interests...) and all in French. Many thanks to Valéria the French guide and the driver for this beautiful discovery of Santos and its history.
Fantastic tour!
