This tour was really amazing! The route was perfectly balanced in duration and distance. We got a lot of cultural, touristic information but also many local hacks and recommandations. Mustapha made us feel really welcome and the stops we made were awesome. We got time to shop, to play some local music with an artist and to ask questions. We got some awesome pictures and perfect memories thanks to Mustapha.
