the bit at the end nobody expects unreal ... worked great for a solo traveller like me, and 6 stops in about 3 hours

our guide Priya sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight, and ideal with kids (ours are 6 and 9), and 6 stops in about 3 hours.

Not bad but not great, a stop the guide added on the fly we like but 6 stops in about 3 hours only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Mehmet was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Marrakech last year, def recommend

our guide Kenji was nice enough, but a little local spot off the usual route felt a bit rushed honestly, and on a rainy sunday, no joke
