Surreal experience - Everything was so well organised and everyone was really nice. We got to do a lot of small trips and tours with native guides and they were all very interesting and different. The guide of the tour was amazing and really careful. The van and all the accomodations were nice and comfortable. There were a lot os breaks to eat and drink during the van trips. I think it is a perfect way to spend a few days in Marroco, since you get to see and experience so much! I recommend 100%.

Once in a lifetime! - This was an amazing experience!!! Felt like once in a lifetime. Our overall guide Mohammed was so helpful, and the local tour guides gave us an illuminating insight into different areas of Moroccan nature and culture. Really family friendly but probably preferable to bring older kids due to the walking parts of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed, would definitely do again in the future :).

Must do trip - I have had the most amazing trip!! So worth every penny! As a solo female traveller this was definitely something worthwhile doing. The group we had was lovely and my guide Muhammad was so helpful. The stops you make on the way to the desert are full of culture. Would recommend this to anyone!!

Don’t miss this tour! Amazing value, amazing views, and an amazing experience - Iddir and Aimed were amazing guides - they taught us all about the different histories in each city and kept everyone updated on the schedules and what was next. Having everything planned out with nothing to worry about was great. I really enjoyed the views of the Atlas Mountains and sandboarding in the Sahara desert. Highly recommend!

Desert Trip - All the staff were amaizing and very helpful when someone got sick. We have the opportunity to observe wonderful landscapes, despite the fact that a storm happened on the desert. One of the things that the pack could include were drinks during meals, but for the price I understand why it doesn’t.
