The age of the kid is a considerable point to be noted as the child’s age. Determines whether he or she can travel accordingly where the change of flights is unavoidable. If the kid is not mature enough to travel in these circumstances. It is advisable to travel in a direct plane to reach their destination.

Advice for the person who picks the child at the destination point

Safety measures towards a sick child

If the child has any previous medical history and is suffering from any illness or allergies, it is important to instruct the caretakers in the flight to give extra care to the kid.

Make the child get introduced to the caretaker

The attendant may take care of the procedures involved during the shifting of planes if suppose the travel includes the change of flights.

Great day! We really enjoyed the ourika valley tour. The guides were great and executed the day perfectly. There was a driver and a hiking guide. We made a stop for a photo, then to a Berber village, then the hike to the waterfalls, and lastly a lunch stop by the river. The tour was limited to 8 people, and each person could chose how much they wanted to hike. I’d recommend it.

Incredible We were left completely speechless on this tour, everything was planned out perfectly we didn’t have to stress about anything. The food provided was delicious we were left very full after every meal. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful. Our driver Badre was one of the most humble souls we have met. He was very knowledgeable on every place we went to and we felt very safe with him. He was very kind and thoughtful, he took us for coffees, organised a nice romantic dinner for my partner and I, let us have a rest in his hotel room to shower/nap before we went to the desert , he even gave me his hat when I forgot mine. The tour could not have been any more perfect. We loved visiting Morocco 💕🥰

Excellent day We had a wonderful day! Using a private tour - really just your group - makes sense, especially if you’re a family with young kids. We had total freedom to take a break, change our itinerary, take our lunch at leisure. Badre, our guide, was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He arranged for the guide to take us on the hike and even lent us cash, when we fell short (for lunch, at the village)Thanks!

Ali is simply the best! Ali is the best of the best when it comes to hospitality in Morocco. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left - he was a constant person we were able to contact for assistance, advice, guidance, and friendship! Ali knows the industry and truly goes above and beyond to make sure your time in Morocco is as seamless as possible. Even after we had parted ways, he was always welcoming to answer our questions, offer advice, and even helped me figure out how to ship a rug home! Trust me, having someone like Ali in your camp can make or break your trip to Morocco. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you Ali for truly the best service, we hope to be back sooner than later!

Great Experience, Superb Hospitality & Organisation Ali looked after us so well from the moment we arrived very hot and sweaty, to the day we left he went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed. He gave us the low-down on where to go and where not to go in Marrakesh and provided information about the local customs. We loved our chats with him about Moroccan life. His warm and welcoming personality make him the perfect host and we thoroughly recommend him. We'll definitely make sure that we catch up with him when we're in Morocco again.

Servizio top Spostarsi all’estero è sempre complicato ma il servizio offerto da Sunny Excursion è davvero di alta qualità. I punti di forza sono certamente la puntualità e l’efficienza degli operatori. Consigliatissimo

All you need I traveled to Marrakech last year (May 2018) with 3 friends and we met Ali there. His practical tips have been really helpful! This year (March 2019) my parents and another couple went to Marrakech and Ali organized for them a camel ride and a trip to the mountains. They loved the trips!!! The driver was really nice to them and always on time. They also book a private transfer from airport to riad. The driver was at airport with a panel saying their names when they arrived. Really good service 👍🏼
