He definitely made this a memorable experience I will never forget! - Baer was amazing!! Navigating through the winding mountains and the narrow roads of Morroco his driving was impeccable, I would definitely take a tour with him again. He explained to us all the places we visited and the history behind it, he is very knowledgeable.

Great sample of a camel trek - The guides were lovely. They tried very hard to make sure everyone was comfortable. Nice shorter first experience on a camel if you’re not sure if it’s for you. Please bring tips for the guides! You look tacky as hell if you’re wearing designer clothes and don’t have at least 3 euros at the end.

Very nice experience for short stay in Morocco! - Very nice experience if you go for only 3 days to Morocco. From the driver, the guides and the scenery very good! We felt very safe and enjoyed everything the tour offered. I really recommend it.

Incredible experience - My daughter and I had an incredible 2 day trip with this tour company. Laarbi our driver was super kind with WONDERFUL English. Be warned that motion sickness can be troubling for some on the journey through the mountains. Just take precautions and sit in the front. Laarbi was kind and supportive through our struggles. We absolutely loved the overnight with the Berbers, especially Ibrahim! The camel ride was an adventure but our favorite was dancing around the campfire to the Berber music serenade. Highly recommend!

Amazing driver Abdel - I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone coming to Marrakesh. One of the highlights was our driver Abdel and the hospitality we received upon arriving to camp.

Driver Named Damou is Amazing! - This was an amazing experience. Damou was an amazing driver and took very good care of us. He communicated well and was very personable. I distinctly remember him also letting my friends and I connect to the aux of the van and allowed us to play our music! This was a great experience and Damou enhanced every second!

Heartwarming berbergast freedom. - Great experience with very friendly guide Jamal and heartwarming berbergast freedom. Jamal is an excellent driver, who completely adapted to our wishes and even put our desert trawls around our heads in an authentic way. The Berbers were cozy, honest, welcoming and served a delicious meal.

Zagora desert tour - Worth the trip, be aware communication isn't great regarding pick ups, organisation on picking everyone up is quite unorganised. Took far too long to actually get out of Marrakech which seemed to be info given to driver from booking co....I presume, most people were quite confused on what was happening with their pick up, including us. The late departure out of Marrakech made our visit to Berber village a bit rushed. Double confirm there is vegetarian food provided when it is asked for. A few people had requested this for dinner and none provided. They just had what we had less the chicken. Staff generally helpful. Make sure you take water and a head gear so you're not overcharged along the way. They insist you wear one on the camels.

Camel treck intensive - Great first dip into Sahara camel riding. It comes with visiting great places such as the Kasba used in 31 films. And Bedouins type encampment for the night. Excellent organisation, Omar an excellent driver, but you have to be prepared to spend 6+hours each daiy in minibus for 2x camel trek of less than an hr at the edge of the desert. Plus fab sunset and sunrise watching in that open space, warning :we were 2 x 70 yr olds who now have very sore bums due to chafing on the flat saddles.
