“Great tour - Adi showed us the region south of Agadir. Picturesque towns, beautiful rivers. We were even able to see flamingos in the wild. I particularly liked the focus on the culture of the region and less on typical souvenir shops. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to find out more about the country and its people outside of the big city.” - Reviewed at 2024-06-01
