My
husband and I have travelled many places in the world but the best
vacation ever, was in Marrakech, Morroco and we tribute this amazing
vacation to our guide Hassan Couscous!!Right from the moment we met
Hassan we knew we picked the right guide because of his warm personality
and his dication to always making sure his Clients were totally safe
and happy! Hassan was so imformative and also there were no questions
he could not answer and because of his ability to speak 4 other
languages this helped us alot. Everywhere we went Hassan was greeted by
the native people with open arms which showed us he was very well
liked.. The Berbers would call this type of person a "white heart",
because of the amazing way Hassan had with people. From the camels rides
on Hassan's friends camels to having tea with Hassan's Berber friends
in their tents,from having a delicous lunch in a beautiful resturant in
the Atlas Mts. Hassan made sure it would be a trip we would never
forget:)Another trait we on

Hassan!
How are you? im one of the ten spansih guys that went to marrakesh and
had so much fun with you in our tour and specially in your van!
I want to talk with you by private because my uncles are going to
marrakesh this march 27th and I recommended you for his guide tour. The
reason is business and tourism. Send me a message to my email to give
you the details. And I will send you our travel pics with you for post
them in your blog. Huge hug to you Hassan.

Hassan!!
I wish idve been in morrocco longer, when we walked out of our hotel
Atlas Asni, this guy stood out from all the other taxi drivers, so
friendly an cool and passionat about what he does, he has an expansive
knowledge of marrakech (and im sure of all of morrocco), he knew every
restaraunt in town an suggested a few and the meal was excellent, whilst
with him the whole family felt safe and at ease, nothing better than
drivin round listenin to the music of BB King!!! I would recomend
Hassan to any1 traveling to morrocco, the coolest, friendliest &
safest tour guide in morrocco, When i return to morrocco i will surely
be using his services, thanks hassan, Liam Dunne on

Hola!!
Salía
del hotel por la tarde con idea de dirigirme a la Medina y de repente
escuché un: "Taxi?" me acerqué y respondí que sí, que iba a la Medina y
que pagaría 40 Dirhams (el precio habitual). La respuesta fue 50
dirhams, a lo que respondí “50 Dirhams es el precio de noche y aun es de
día”, a lo que hábilmente me respondió “pero es que yo tengo una
furgoneta y es más grande y mejor que un taxi, no te arrepentirás”. y
asi fue, no me arrepentí. Automáticamente decidí ir con Mohcine al
centro y empezamos a hablar, como si nos conociésemos de toda la vida,
de esto, de aquello y a partir de aquí vi claro que sería con él con
quien haría todas mis excursiones. Y puedo decir que no me equivoqué.
Una persona extremadamente educada y divertida. Seguro al volante y buen
conductor, que conoce los mejores lugares para tomar las mejores fotos,
así como los sitios para comer y comprar más baratos en cualquier
ciudad. También es una persona conocida dondequiera que va (todos le
llamaban por on

Buenas!!
¿Alguien
ha visto algún comentario negativo para Mohcine? Es IMPOSIBLE!! Un tio
que se curra mucho su trabajo, que descansa las horas necesarias para
ponerse al volante, que conduce muy bien y de forma muy muy muy segura y
que no tiene prisa por acabar con la excursion que le hayas contratado.
Recuerdo que en su afán por enseñarme cosas, un día tuve que pedirle
que parasemos ya, porque estaba hecho polvo y, automáticamente, me llevó
a tomar té a un sitio chulisimo y nos volvimos tranquilamente para
Marrakech al hotel. Una persona que se toma muy en serio su trabajo y
con la que recomiendo encarecidamente contactar tanto para conocer una
ciudad, como para hacer excursiones, porque no solo tiene los mejores
precios, sino que tiene muchos contactos en todo Marruecos y eso
facilita mucho las cosas al llegar a un sitio para visitar. Siempre
comimos en las mesas con las mejores vistas, sin problemas y al mejor
precio. Una persona muy enrrollada, que se toma su trabajo con calma, lo

Hola!!
Escribo
aqui para puntuar el trabajo de Mohcine como guia y como taxista con un
11 sobre 10. Recomiendo contactar con él para moverse por cualquier
parte de Marruecos, pues no solo trabaja en Marrakech, sino que se
desplaza a cualquier zona y no solo eso, sino que en cualquier parte es
conocido y conoce a gente y los mejores lugares para comer, comprar,
ahcer fotos, etc. y todo ello al mejor precio (comparé con otras
agencias y taxistas). Es una persona educada, puntual, simpática, con la
que se puede hablar de todo y negociar todo para que el viaje salga a
la perfección, que se implica en el viaje y te acompaña en todo momento
(no como los taxistas que simplemente te llevan a un punto y te
devuelven al hotel desde ese punto sin darte más ayuda que el
transporte). Yo lo llamaba para que me recogiese en el hotel y me
llevase a la Medina y para que me devolviera al hotel cada dia e hice
todas las excursiones con él (Valle de Ourika, Cascadas de ouzoud,
Kasbas de Ait Benadu y de on

Mohcine
es un bereber del desierto que se dedica a enseñar Marruecos de una
forma especial con su furgoneta. Tiene una muy buena relación
calidad/precio y sus precios son los mejores de cuantos consultamos (mas
de 5 taxistas) antes de conocerle. Es muy muy muy muy muy educado y nos
reímos mucho con él y con sus bromas. Siempre nos trató correctamente,
nunca tuvimos ningún problema, pues todo lo que iba surgiendo se hablaba
tranquilamente y se buscaba la mejor solución para todos. Hicimos
excursiones con él y en cada sitio que íbamos conocía a lugareños y le
conocían, lo cual indica que trabaja de maravilla y que tiene una
reputación. Con Mohcine no contratas al típico taxista que te lleva al
sitio y te dice “dentro de 2 horas nos vemos aquí y te llevo de vuelta
al Hotel”, porque Mohcine hace la excursión contigo de principio a fin,
sin prisas, tranquilo, tomándote el tiempo que necesites (dentro de lo
lógico, claro) sea a donde sea (ciudad, campo, montaña, desierto) y te
va on

Peligro
para el turismo español.
Si hubiera diez Mohcine en Marruecos, en España nos quedariamos sin
turistas. No tenemos palabras para definir a nuestro amigo-guía "el mas
mejor" sólo un número: el diez (10).
Con él hemos perdido el miedo a Marruecos y hemos empezado a disfrutar
de sus gentes, paisajes, gastronomia, comercios .... Nos vemos en la
obligación de recomendarte a todos nuestros amigos que vayan a visitar
Marruecos. No sabemos si podremos disfrutar de tu compañía ya que
seguramente cuando Volvamos estarás ocupado. Seguramente como siempre
encontrarás solución.
Un abrazo. Paco on

Hola,
Hello my dear Hassan!!,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for an AWESOME experience!!!
Not only did you take us to the best places there was to see, but you
also found us the best deals in Morocco. It was amazing to be with such a
honest, reliable, and trustworthy person that accommodated to our needs
for a week.
As my family and I went to Morocco we were in great need for a tour
guide, and luckily we found Mohcin while we were walking around our
hotel. We asked him for suggestions on where to go and what to do
(without knowing he was a tour guide). As we continued to talk to him we
realized he knew a lot and that he indeed was a tour guide... and we
booked him at the spot!
I can truly say he has been the best tour guide ever. Not only did we go
to markets, rode camels, and ate fantastic food, but we got to meet
wonderful friends of his.There was such a true bond of friendship and
care among us and it was so hard to leave Morocco without him. He became
a part of our family, and it would have on

Increible
este viaje a Marruecos, gracias también a que teníamos con nosotros a
una persona tan encantadora, amable, divertida y super buen organizador
como tú, Hassan. Tuvimos la suerte de que nuestros padres (los grandes
jefes) te conocieron en el viaje a Marraquech y les encantaste. Nos
hablaron mucho de tí y por fín pudimos conocerte y reafirmar todo lo que
nos contaron. Hemos sido 14 personas (un grupo considerable)y no hemos
tenido ninguna clase de problema. Todos lo hemos pasado en grande
descubierondo maravillas de tu país junto a tí y tooooodos tus amigos.
Se nota que eres una gran persona que vas dejando huella por donde vas.
Mil gracias por todo! Se me pone una sonrisa en la cara cada vez que
pienso en las canciones en el coche y en el desierto al ritmo de MAMA
AFRICA!!!! (Divertídisimo). Esperamos poder verte pronto otra vez!!!

So
what can I say about "Hassan cous cous"? Words can't do him justice, he
has one of the most fun-loving, passionate, free-spirited, generous,
giving and humorous personalties I've ever met. I must thank my lucky
stars for meeting him and showing me such an amazing experience. We were
three girls traveling to a Muslim country without an agenda in a high
state of alarm at the Tangier train station when we first set eyes on
"cous cous". we knew the adventure awaits when we refused to wait 3 more
hours at the station for a direct train to Fes, we needed a quicker way
to get there and that was the moment when "cous cous", being at the
right place at the right time, unfolded his superb salesmanship as a
tour guide. Since we were already pre-warned from the travel books and
friends, we were guarded and alarmed, ready to karate chop him if he
tried anything suspicious. Our strategy was to have one person talked to
him and the other two pretended not to speak any English so we could
use our on

It
will be 2 years in June when I and my cousins visited Morocco and
everytime I look back at my pictures and remember my dearest friend
Hassan Couscous I just smile. Like everyone else we met him at the
Tangier Train station and if it were not for him we would of never got
out of that station. He offered his help to us completely unsolicited
and with not being able to speak any of the languages-even my spanish
was getting us no where-he helped us get our tickets and on the train
and he made sure that we got our very own private car so that we could
sleep without being scared. I will always cherish my time in Marackech
with Hassan. He showed me a life that I never really thought existed. I
hope to come back to Morocco one day and I would never for one minute
think of not spending my time there without Hassan.Your friend always,

Marrakech
ExpressI met Hassan on the night train to Marrakech. I was on a side
trip from Spain so I was only going to Marrakech. He chatted me up
along with two Canadians offering information and his services, he was
so pleasant it was hard to say no. I did not see Hassan again on the
train but ran into him as I was sitting alone in the medina and in
wonderful Hassan fashion he greeted me like a long lost friend. We
spent the afternoon shopping and talking and he knew everyone and where
everything was. I did not go to the desert or use Hassan services but I
will the next time I am in Morocco. I explained my fears about going
into the desert and he answered everything for me to put my mind at
ease. Hassan is warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and kind, you will
definitely enjoy Morocco more with Hassan. on

Hassan
approached my friends and me at the train station in Tangier and
offered to guide us around Morocco. We were very skeptical to begin with
about a complete stranger offering their services; however Hassan’s
genuine personality and enthusiasm made the decision for us. We arranged
to meet in Marrakesh in 2 days time where he would pick us up from our
hotel. We could’ve quite simply abandoned him after making him travel
the entire distance from Tangier to Marrakesh, however, just as we
agreed Hassan was there to greet us with one of his many friends which
is a true testament to his trustworthiness and reliability.As we set off
into Morocco Hassan constantly kept us amused by his humour and jokes
whilst driving through the Atlas and into the desert. Anything we wanted
at anytime was never a problem because Hassan has friends scattered all
over who were more than happy to oblige. At the start of the trip we
were confused as to why Hassan had friends all through Morocco, but by

Hassan,Thank
you so much for such a wonderful time in Morocco. I could not have
asked for a better guide! You showed my friends and I what real
Moroccan life is like, and your love of Africa is truly contagious. I'm
not sure that I could have gotten up on stage with that belly dancer
had you not been there. =) It was such a blessing to be able to meet
your friends and spend time with them. While I was in Morocco, you
treated me like family. I look forward to the next time that I'm in
Morocco because I would love to meet your wife. I'm so glad that your
wife let my friends and I have you for a few days because our trip would
not have been the same without you. This one's for you: AFRICA!!!Your
friend,Brian (Brahim) on

Africa! WOW well what can we say, we were a group of 4 students (girls)
staying in Fes,we met a lovely guy called Abdul, we mentioned to him
that we wanted to go to the Sahara and go on a camel trek! Although we
travelled with the lonely planet guide around Morocco, getting from Fes
to Merzouga seemed quite a hassle! So Abdul introduced us to Mouhssine.
WOW! We were quite literally blown away! Amazed by his enthusiasm for
life.. magnificent! We found ourselves in a very lucky situation! He
drove us that night to Merzouga, arriving at Hotel Tombouctou in the
early morning. Although a long drive we felt safe at all times, which
was such a relief considering some of the drivers found in Morocco. Upon
arrival, we stepped out onto the golden sandunes to watch the sun-rise;
which was truely beautiful! That evening we took a camel trek into the
Sahara, watching the sunset as we rode! We enjoyed a lovely meal and
fantastic hospitability when we reached the Oasis! on

My
son and I were traveling Europe for 3 months when we found ourselves in
the Tangier train station late at night, frustrated that we were
running short on time with so much to see. Then a kind soft voice
approached us with an invitation to guide us anywhere we wanted to go. I
am typically skeptical of stranger’s unsolicited invitations,
particularly in a country where the tourist is bombarded by sometimes
pushy people selling their services. Hassan is different. He has a
wonderfully soft, sweet kindness about him. After talking to him for a
few minutes, we changed our train tickets, with his help, and headed off
with him to Fes. The next days were without question a highlight of
our journey. Hassan and his friends provided us with a totally stress-
free, enjoyable adventure through Morocco. They guided us into places
we never would have seen, regardless of what travel guidebook we were
using. He and his group of friends were helpful for every need,
reliable, informative, on

Dear
Hassan,Thanks for telling me that you deleted by mistake my first
posting , so I'm posting it again.I was almost lost in the Morocco
trasportation chaos when I met a smiling young man, proposing me to
become my tour guide. He was promising things which at first sounded too
good to be true.In the nick of time he had organised everything. He had
rent a car and booked fantastic hotels.What first impressed me was how
everyone at the train station of Tanger -where I met Hassan- was hugging
him, kissing him, how respecful he was. This made me say YES, let's
trust him.After a couple of hours I realised how lucky I had been.As
days were passing by, Hassan became a member of my family or to be more
specific he made me feel his passion for his country and accepted me as a
member of his family.Words can not easily describe Hassan's true and
honest nature. He was helping around all day long with bargaining,
shopping, giving tips and advice on many useful things.I've been to the
Egypt and on
