Tour Reviews
Estuve 17 días en Marruecos con una amiga y con Hassan haciéndonos de guía. Desde Fez – Merzouga – Zagora – Tata – TanTan – Essouira – Marrakech.
Hassan, aparte de un amigo, es una persona de gran corazón, atento y con experiencia con el turismo en Marruecos. Joven y con energía, Hassan te puede llevar a ver muchos rincones de Marruecos que él mismo conoce de primera mano, pasar buenos ratos, interesantes conversaciones acerca de su país, su gente los berbers, música y experiencias de la vida.
Sin duda lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera hacer una ruta por Marruecos. Sean parejas, familia o amigos. La diversión y seguridad con él están aseguradas!!!
Gracias Hassan!
Viaje increíble!!!!
Coincidimos de casualidad con Hassan en Fez. Estábamos bastante perdidos y sin saber qué hacer después de pasar dos días en la medina de Fez.
Él gracias a su amabilidad y fabulosa atención nos recomendó y nos indicó diferentes actividades que hacer. Así que escogimos ir al desierto de Merzouga y posteriormente ir a Marrakech.
Fue la mejor elección que hicimos, todo salió a la perfección. Un viaje que si pudiera repetir lo haría enfadadísimo. Los paisajes, la gente, todo
Marruecos es increíble!!!!
Ya van dos veces que viajo a este maravilloso país y no deja de encantarme cada vez que lo visito.
Conocí a Hassan en mi primer viaje. Nada más verlo supe al momento que era una persona gentil y de confianza.
Gracias a su amabilidad y su trato disfrutamos mucho los días que estuvimos en Fez.
Un año después volví con mi novia a este país y no dude en contactar con Hassan para preparar el viaje.
Hassan nos recibio en Fez y con su amabilidad nos ayudo con nuestro itinerario.
Incluso nos paso una anécdota el último día: nos dejamos olvidados el móvil en el taxi al aeropuerto… pero Hassan consiguió recuperarlo y hacerlo llegar a España. Pocas personas harían esto así que tenerlo en cuenta.
Si queréis viajar a Marruecos la mejor opción sin duda es Sky Morocco Trips
