Review (2023-10-07): A memorable trip - This tour was excellent. Mouaad from Comfort Tours was so helpful and kind, making sure that we were OK with everything and giving advice following the earthquake. Yassine our driver was excellent. Rather than have lunch at the tourist restaurant he took us to a lovely place in the town. He really was great company and a very careful driver.
