Great experience with Driss - Had a great experience with Driss as our guide , who took the time to explain things and was excellent at scheduling and driving professionally . We opted a group tour but got a private tour at the end with only 3 of us in a Benz caravan . Totally recommend the tour as you get to spend the night at Sahara and see different places across the 3 days

Amazing experience - We did the 3 days trip with two nights overstay. We left from fez and we got to Marrakech. Definitely one of the best experiences I have ever done. Nature is amazing. Landscape breathtaking. Far above our expectations, also the camping in the desert. People where super nice and kind. We travelled with Hassan as a driver. A really good driver, friendly and super available. Highly recommended, almost mandatory I would say, if you go to Marokko!

Amazing experience - Perfect experience from start to finish. Moha was our driver and we learned a lot from him, while also laughing a lot. He is a great professional. The hotels, both in the desert and in Ouzarzate, were great

Amazing desert tour with Mustapha and Iddreis - We had an amazing 3 day fes to Marrakech (via Merzouga) desert tour with Mustapha and Iddries as our guide drivers. They explained all the locations very well and had a great professional attitude. The stay at ourzazate was also very good and well organised. Overall the tour was very organised and we had an amazing, fun and informative tour with Mustapha and Iddries!! Will definitely recommend it everyone visiting Morocco and wants to see the Sahara.

A must in Morocco - Mohammed is the best driver! We loved to spend 3 days enjoying the Sahara desert and villages. He explained and gave information about the places and showed as very beautiful locations. This is a highly recommended tour to visit more local places. We spent a lot of time in the road but it’s because you visit a lot of places in the country. The food is just okay but is what you can expect being in the middle of the desert. The experience is worthy. Thank you Mohammed!! You’re the best!

wonderful experience - The staff has treated us exceptionally, but we have felt cheated with the Agency, since we paid for a luxury camp in which there were not even drinks, only water and time. On the 2nd night we had a problem booking the hotel, since they accommodated 3 people in a single room, but thanks to the hotel staff and our guide Moha we were able to have another room. Of course, after payment of a part. Otherwise, the trip was a wonderful experience in addition to the good humor and professionalism of our guides Moha and Zakria in driving the vehicle and speaking the language. They have been decisive and effective at all times! Elba

Interesting, diverse and wide coverage - Smooth logistics - Solid trip from Fes to Marrakesh through Sahara! Ismael was our driver and Mustapha was the guide. The pair were very friendly and easy going and stayed with us throughout the trip. Mustapha new languages and overall was a good “shepherd” to our diverse group through various experiences and encounters. As someone already mentioned in reviews, it is a conveyor-like sequence of experiences, but I must point out that it is not an easy conveyor to pull off, especially given we were going through very remote areas, and a multitude of logistical vendors/businesses. (You may not want to get off the beaten path there). So I’d say they make it feel smooth working, and even if there are hiccups, they resolve them swiftly. I wish there was a bit more historic content and anthropologic explanations, but maybe it’s just me and it would be boring to others. (We did get a bit of history from the local guide in Rissani and I would want more of that through the trip on the bus with us). Also I wish food choices were more diverse, but that may be a function of remoteness of those areas. One advice to future travelers: bring with you /plan for something to do on the bus - some drive stretches are long and maybe an audiobook or your favorite music would make the time pass faster. First day is mild and curious, with the build up to the desert (the approach to the desert may feel a bit sketchy, but just trust the process). The desert was magnificent and berbers are the kindest people. My most tiresome day was second, after the night in the desert (as you go to bed late after a great dinner and playing drums with berbers, and waking up super early for the sunrise in the desert). Third day was unexpectedly interesting with an underrated gem in the mountains - the old village you’ll hike through to the top for amazing views - choose that over Atlas studios, as it is more authentic and it is a UNESCO site (and beware of local “pirates” in the village!). Overall, thank you for a great trip!

Good experience, beautiful sights - I had a good experience and saw truly beautiful sights and experienced the country's rich culture. First part of the trip up to the night in the desert was operated by this tour operator. The trip from the desert through Ouarzazate and to Marrakesh was outsourced to another provider. This part wasn't as good as the driver simply didn't know what the package we purchased included. We did not see the Atlas Studio as mentioned in the itinerary and the last day was mostly driving to Marrakech and we arrived in the early afternoon. My recommendation would also be for the drivers (both) to give an idea of the day's itinerary, planned stops, etc. The hotel in Ouarzazate was substituted for Rose Valley. It was clean and they had a pool. Bit more modern and less authentic then the one mentioned in the itinerary. We had dinner included there and that may have been the worst dinner from my 10 days in the country. Breakfast was good. The overnight desert stay didn't end up having any sand boarding we simply sat on a dune after 30 minutes of Camel riding to wait for the sunset. Dinner at 10pm. Show at 11pm until 11.45 or so. Despite these small items I'd recommend this trip.

It's good, but not perfect. Solid 3/5 - A tale of two parts. Having a private tour is fantastic, and worth the money. Driss, our driver, was great. Looked after us well, drove well. Being just us we could stop where we wanted whencwe wanted and vary the tour in terms of time spent at different places, start time and even miss stuff out, like the Atlas Studio tour, which gets pretty mixed reviews (check it out) But at the end of the day the itenerary is the standard time that absolutely everyone gets. It's a bit of a productuon line. The camel trip was great fun,the desert camp a bit underwhelming, the hotel on the second night was just weird - big, clean and well appointed, but missing any sense of "luxury": no water or tea/coffee in rooms; had to pay for even soft drinks etc with dinner; dinner was pretty bad, they simply hadn't been told of our dietary requirements plus we were essentially the only guests in the entire place so most of lights were off and they shut up as soon as we left the canteen-like restaurant. Breakfadtcwas good and the staff were friendly. Also, no alcohol. The tour remains a really good way to see the country outside the cities; it's metric tonne of driving though, be warned, and the usual stops at places where you feel you are being gently exploited. I would certainly recommend it, but don't expect to feel the booking company cares about anything except your cash
