Meeting and pickup
We are picking you up from your hotels. But sometimes it's needed to agree about a meeting point closer to your stay if it's not accessible by car and we will contact you the day before the tour for that
If you are staying close to the main square of Jamaa El Fna in the Medina, it would be great if you could meet us in front of Argana café
