The story

What a surprise Morocco is!!!! We imagined it beautiful, but it turned out to be astonishing!!! A melting pot of colours, views, flavours and realities all to be experienced!!! Unforgettable Marrakech with its people, its scents and the street vendors who recite the art of commerce like music. But most of all, exciting Fes, where the past has remained as it was and where myriads of little alleys — more than 9000, it seems — wind, confused and fascinating, straight to their heart: the dyers' souk, amid the smell of colours and the scent of mint. It alone is worth a trip to Morocco, the cold country with the warm sun!!!! We did the trip with the tour operator Francorosso and, apart from a few hotels not up to the 4 and 5 stars offered, the guide was superb and the itinerary unforgettable!!!!
