Angely, just wanted to quickly drop you a note to say that Rose is doing a great job!
She’s funny, helpful, respectful and just overall a good guide & person. You did a good job of hiring her. I am having a great time……TIRED….. but great! I’m glad I joined this trip and would highly recommend anyone to join you in March and May. Who knows? Maybe I will come back with my family next time around.
I have no doubts that Morocco will be a great place to visit. I was looking forward to step into the great Sahara Desert and it was humbling. The best gift of all was the awesome night sky!
Access Travel Filipino coordinator Rose Due-Quintero and local Morocco coordinator Yousef, made this trip easy, well-paced, and relaxed. Even when we had a flat tire 3 hours before our boarding, they remained calm and got us to our flights safe and sound. Thanks to our angel who stopped and helped us. My sincerest thanks to Access Travel and to Rose and to all our informative guides in Morocco for a great journey.
We had a great experience in Morocco with Youssef!
From the food to exploring the Sahara Desert, we enjoyed experiencing what Morocco had to offer. We appreciate you organizing the trip for us and making sure that we had a great and safe experience! Will definitely plan our next trip with you.
Thank you! :)
