It was an unforgettable tour experience with Mohamed from Africa North Journey. He served us in all what we wanted and explained us everything about Morocco even he welcomed us in his house and eat lunch with them absolutely this tour for me will stay in my mind forever.
My 13 Days Christmas tour in Morocco with Africa North Journeys was excellent and more than expected. very professional stuff and service is top. Hassan was not only a tour guide or driver but was more a friend. The roundtrip from Tanger and back to Tanger was a great tour to embark in because it offered us the opportunity to see most parts of Morocco. Overall, I Highly recommend Hassan and Africa North Journeys for anyone planning to travel.
