The story

I am back from a lovely trip to Morocco that I shared with three friends of mine. After two days spent in Marrakech, we finally met Soufiane, with whom I had previously got in touch after reading the positive reviews on the web and having weighed up his offers against other quotes I had requested. I had an excellent impression right from the start of the professionalism and courtesy of this young man, very well prepared and willing to meet his clients' requests and to tailor the trip to them. His friendliness and the interesting information he gave us kept us pleasant company for four days, as we travelled the “Nomads' Trail”, a tour that allowed us to see enchanting and very varied landscapes, ranging from green palm groves to the snowy Atlas mountains, from the rugged gorges of the Dades and the Todra to the velvety, unforgettable dunes of the Erg Chebbi desert.

The organisation was impeccable, Soufiane was always very punctual and attentive to our needs, his car was always perfectly clean and freshly scented, and his driving was truly excellent. He speaks fluent Italian, as well as French, English, Spanish and who knows how many other languages! I want to point out that we were never taken to the classic places where we saw all the tourist coaches stopping, such as craft cooperatives for rugs or the like where you have to sit through demonstrations before sales attempts. It was us, on one occasion, who asked him to go to a women's cooperative to stock up on argan products! Without a doubt the charm of the places we visited was enriched by the positive experience we had thanks to Marocco Avventura and, in particular, thanks to our guide, who has remained in our hearts. Salam ella, Soufiane!!!:-)
