We contacted BigBus directly via WhatsApp to arrange a personalized private excursion. We had a minibus with a private driver for a very good daily rate. Hassan was a very good driver, respected what we wanted to do or not do, and gave us good advice. Thanks to him! We had a very good day.

unfortunately, we didn't get the tour we paid for and expected, as per the description online. the driver was a good man and turned up on time but there was no Guide on the tour at all. the driver spoke very little English, just simple words but we had no information or translation about the tour, the local area or history. it was a beautiful drive and you basically pay for transport and nothing else. the tour descriptions states that we would get a professional guide plus a local guide, we got neither. when we arrived at Ourika village many local men approached us and we were told we could pay extra for a local guide. we did not meet a berber family nor go to their home for tea and snacks again as advertised. it is disappointing and not the tour i paid for or expected from the trip. it is verybexpensive to be paying this price just for transportation. when we did question inclusions with the driver, he had absolutely no idea and basically said nontour guide, local guide extra.
