What does the term “driver/guide” mean for 4×4 tours and does Berber Tours provide guides to tourist sites?
Berber Tours does not provide “guides” to tourist sites. The term “driver/guide” means that our drivers “guide” the client from “Point A to Point B” over the sometimes inhospitable Moroccan roads. As stated in other areas of our website, any additional guide services are NOT included in the price of one of our 4×4 tours or camel treks, and therefore, are at an additional cost which is separate from the cost of the 4×4 tours or camel trek. The reason for this is that by Moroccan law, the ONLY people who can guide tourists through a tourist site are those who actually work at that site. In Marrakech, for example, ONLY licensed tour guides FROM Marrakech are allowed to guide tourists in Marrakech and in Ouarzazate at the large Glaoui Kasbah there, ONLY people from Ouarzazate who actually work at the Kasbah are allowed to “guide” people through it.
