A day in Marakesch from Agadir is already a challenge. You sit alone in the bus for 5-6 hours. The guide was great. Everything explained well and very helpful. What bothered me a little was the sales event for argan products and other wondrous remedies. The hour could have been spent more at the market. The market is awesome. There's something going on in every nook and cranny. Everyone wants to sell. Without a GPS in the smartphone, the agreed meeting point would have been difficult to find. All streets look the same. A tip from me. If you make a trip like this at the beginning of your holiday, then you can relax enough afterwards. We were really floored. Marakesch is definitely worth seeing.

Our driver, Mohamed was very kind and very attentive, as always in Morocco, but also, an excellent driver. He explained everything to us on the way. For a small supplement, we had a guide in Taroudant who explained the city well to us. A visit so well would have been impossible without this guide.

Picking up at the hotel worked great. Guide spoke good German. He explained a lot to us on the way and on site. Stopped at interesting spots for us. It was a successful trip. Recommended.

very varied landscapes. Good idea of Morocco Interesting city. Pleasant and complete guided tour with local guide. Lunch in a beautiful setting. Nice oasis to walk around.

The trip was very successful, a great guide and a delicious traditional lunch. The only small minus is not enough time in Taroudant, I recommend
