Desde o início, o Hichan nos recebeu de forma extremamente acolhedora, sempre muito educado, prestativo e com ótima comunicação. Tanto no aeroporto quanto na estação, ele foi muito rápido para nos buscar e ainda nos encontrou antes mesmo de conseguirmos encontrá-lo, o que trouxe muita tranquilidade para a viagem. Em Fez, tivemos a sorte de contar com o guia Abdul, que foi simplesmente espetacular. Além de muito atencioso e profissional, ele nos ajudou a resolver um problema de hospedagem que poderia ter complicado bastante nossa viagem. Sem dúvida, fez toda a diferença na experiência. A excursão ao deserto também foi maravilhosa. O motorista Mohamed foi extremamente prestativo durante todo o percurso, sempre cuidadoso e gentil. As paradas para fotos e refeições foram muito bem escolhidas, em lugares lindíssimos, tornando a viagem ainda mais especial. No Saara, o receptivo inicialmente pareceu um pouco desorganizado e ficamos um pouco perdidos no começo, mas no final tudo se resolveu bem e conseguimos aproveitar a experiência. No geral, foi uma viagem incrível, com pessoas muito acolhedoras e experiências inesquecíveis. Recomendo com certeza!

The accommodations were beautiful, and our night in the Sahara was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you, Hicham, for making this such a memorable experience! We highly recommend this tour group to anyone planning a trip.
