absolutely recommendable. It´s a pity that we didn´t have too much time, but Hamid made the best of it. Marrakech is a beautiful and special place, as well as Essaouira and Ourika, that were included. Hamid was always punctual and kind, very knowledgeable of Morocco and its history, a great input.
We contacted him in very short time, but he managed to be available. Also very good rates.
