    This was my first trip with a travel company of any kind. My mother travels with WOW regularly and wanted me to travel with her on one of her trips. So we chose Morocco. I have to say it was a fabulous experience. All details for the trip were handled efficiently & the trip was very well organised. We covered the length and breadth of the country and it was beautiful. The group comprised of wonderful women whose company I enjoyed thoroughly. Shivangi, our Wow buddy, worked tirelessly and seamlessly to ensure all our needs and comforts were taken care of. It was fabulous to have her there. I would definitely travel with WOW again!
