Our Guide and Local
Hosts
All our
guides are holders of tourism cards issued by the Ministry of Tourism of Morocco. Our Camel, mule and mountain
guides are all individuals who work with Balthazar Tours and are all from the local regions we visit.
In addition
to our local guides we also provide home stay accommodation, where local families have opened up their home to accommodate
travellers who may wish to learn more about Moroccan culture.
Balthazar
Tours wishes to promote tourism that directly benefits people from the desert or the Atlas
Mountain regions. We work with people who live in these regions as not
only do they know the local area better then anyone but in working with them we aim to contribute to the economic development
of villages and provide a source of income which allows entire families to remain in their preferred environment.
