Fes to Merzouga private tour

This tour was a memorable experience for my husband, me, and our daughter. Said, our driver, was wonderful and extremely knowledgable about the locations we visited. He understood what we were looking for from the tour and was prepared to be flexible with our stop locations. We liked how he avoided touristic locations and ate at local restaurants whenever feasible. Said comes highly recommended.
