Our group visited Morocco in February for a retreat and workshops. We’ve spent lots of great time in nature, attended workshops and classes and visited native local communities. The Alternative Morocco provided us with lots of activities in and around Marrakech. Our trip to the Atlas Mountain valleys was a perfect relaxing day out. We had a chance to truly enjoy the scenic views and meet local communities living deep in the mountains. Our cooking class and carpet weaving experience with local residents was truly special. Super exciting day out, perfectly organised with a great attention to detail. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! The most perfect group! We loved having you with us on this trip! Thank you for choosing us! See you again soon! Lahcen
