Wonderful tour of Morocco - The Fez, desert and Marrakech Tour, in 8 days, was a wonderful experience, which, thanks to the itinerary that Youssef proposed to us, we can describe as perfect. He took care of everything, and the truth is it was a success to trust him. Great professional, responsible and attentive and at the same time an excellent company that has made it possible for us to feel relaxed, welcomed and dedicated to enjoying the trip at all times. Thanks Youssef.

Exceptional experience with two fantastic guides Mohamed and Omar - Beautiful experience absolutely worth doing, the long outward journey with Mohamed who was attentive, helpful and very kind. The return with Omar, who was very nice and attentive and helpful, made this experience even more pleasant. Everything perfectly organized to find yourself in a unique atmosphere, the colors of the desert at sunset are breathtaking. Seeing the sun rise is a unique emotion. The long journey is fully repaid.

Amazing Sahara Adventure! - It was truly an unforgettable experience. The journey from Fes to Merzouga was filled with breathtaking landscapes and scenic stops. We visited Ifrane, a charming town known as the Switzerland of Morocco, and the cedar forest in Azrou, where we saw Barbary macaque monkeys in their natural habitat. The highlight, of course, was the camel trekking to watch the sunset and sunrise over the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes. Spending a night in the desert camp under a starry sky was magical. Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly, making the entire trip enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Sahara Desert in a short timeframe!

Nice tour but exhausting - The journey was very long but you have enough breaks and see a lot of the country. The desert is breathtaking and sandboarding is fun. Unfortunately, the camel tour was a bit uncomfortable and painful. The camp was cool and the people very friendly. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that great.
