I had a hard time finding a tgv ticket because I wasn't given enough instructions to download it via WhatsApp. I asked another companion hard and found the ticket, but in the case of the companion, a ticket under someone else's name came and there was confusion. 2. I had a hard time finding the driver because agent also did not tell me the detailed meeting place. Futhermore even if I asked, he kept the answer short, there was no answer, and I couldn't hear any explanation about the beach spots such as Hercules cave. It is very different from the product description. I guess he didn't know, but…”

As with all chefs there was “a bit of this and a bit of that” added to the pot making it more “real” and full recipes were provided. The end result was a wonderful meal with lively conversation across the somewhat diverse group. The hosts were warm, hospitable and charming. We would not hesitate to recommend this to everyone interested in learning to cook classic Moroccan dishes.”
