They let us fully experience Morocco, eating and walking around local places, which not everyone does. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Riads they chose so beautiful. You can see that they are well designed, and also comfortable for those of us who wanted to take a walk in the center in the evening. If you are looking for an agency that makes you feel at home and introduces you to the real Morocco, I recommend you contact them!
