His deep knowledge of Moroccan culture and history brought every experience to life. He was not only organized and attentive but also made sure everyone felt included and engaged. His passion for his country was infectious, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Traveling with a wonderful group added to the joy of the trip. We shared laughter, stories, and countless adventures, creating bonds that will last well beyond our time in Morocco." -Katherine H.
