Amazing trip - Amazing driver! Damou was the best. The trip to desert was also great although I wish it was a little bit further into the Sahara.

Perfect trip to the dessert - It was amazing. We were really satisfied with this trip. Everything was perfect, food in the camp was delicious and the camp was very clean. Watching the sinrise in the dessert is a really magical experience. The locals were very friendly and helpful. Especially our guide Khalid is very nice person and I can recommend him as a very good guide into the dessert. I have nothing bad to say about it and I recommend this trip.

Fab driver Hamid and Excellent Experience - A really enjoyable experience I would highly recommend to anyone! Hamid our driver was super knowledgeable, allowed me with my limited mobility to sit in front with him for extra leg room. He made sure we all knew we could ask if any extra stops needed and was fab at pointing out sights along the way. Experience in the camp and camels was fab and star gazing was amazing. Definitely recommend 'Marrakech travel services', excellent communication on pick up via WhatsApp and even provided fresh juices. It is a long 2 days driving but Hamid and our tour group kept us all energised,fed and happy . Thankyou for a lovely experience!

Nice trip - The driver Abdel made us feel very safe in a rather crasy trafick. Nice camp and staff, toalets and shower. A bed and your own glamping-tent.

Family holiday with beautiful landscapes - A family excursion at the top, breathtaking scenery, motivated guides, det to finish a chauffeur service at the top.
Note, that if you have the opportunity to be driven by Mohamed L, know that you will have a great stay, he drives extremely well, is listening, passionate about excursions ( 2nd guide insured)

It's beautiful but it's far away - If the ride (despite Ibrahim who was a very good driver) is a bit disappointing:
- Resto stops arranged in not terrible establishments
- A walk in Ouarzazate non-existent (they changed the description) which makes the return a little sad
The experience at the gates of the desert is worth a visit:
- Very nice camel ride
- Comfortable accommodation and camp
- Very friendly evening activity
- The view of the sunrise

My Experience of Zagora - The pros: eating well-cooked food (with good portions) in a relaxed environment/meeting local guides over tea/hearing traditional music being played live at the end of the night under the night sky/comfortable bedding which exceeded expectations/being free to climb a nearby hill (of around 40m) to see the sunrise/meeting others and sharing stories/passing through large swathes of the country with different (and memorable) landscapes and different cultures/stopping in some of these (Aït Ben Haddou, for example)/good organisation overall.
Cons: one of the camels was very distressed, and a fellow traveller assured me the camels were unhealthy in general/a slight delay meant we missed the sunset time, but the cloud cover made both the sunset and sunrise disappointing (this cannot be controlled, of course).

Unforgettable Adventure with Warm Hospitality – A Few Extra Days Would Make It Perfect! - We had a wonderful experience overall! The activities were enjoyable, though they sometimes felt a bit rushed due to the tight schedule. I’d suggest extending the stay to two nights or offering an option for a three-night package, so guests can fully take in the incredible camp setting. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with truly kind people. Our driver, Hamid, was exceptional—always friendly, attentive, and eager to share insights about the sights along our journey.
