Our private driver, Hassan, made our Morocco trip unforgettable. He was patient, flexible, and always made sure we were comfortable. He knew the best places to stop for food, rest, and breathtaking views. Driving in the mountains and desert felt very safe with him. He also shared great travel tips, helping us get the best deals at the souks. I wouldn’t book a tour without a private driver like Hassan.Related tours
