Fantastic trip! - The trip in the minivan was very pleasant, our driver Rarhib explained many things about the landscapes we met, gave us clarifications on the various stages we would do and above all made this trip relaxing and fun. Thank you so much Rarhib! Super recommended

Amazing tour with Abdelaali - The trip to Zagora will remain unforgettable. Everything went as planned. The guide and driver drove very carefully and happily answered all our questions. The night in the desert and the atmosphere at the camp was very pleasant. We recommend this agency and thank our guide Abdelaali.

Alright - Very good organization of the trip and activities. Our driver Abdu was great! He took the time to teach us a lot of information about Morocco and stopped regularly so we could admire the view. He was very kind and patient. Arriving at the Zagora desert, we met Hassan and Youssef, the camel guides with whom we spent an excellent evening. A suspended moment.

Great experience - Great experience from Marrakesh for a 2 days trip. The only downside is the time on road, quite long. Return is around 5-7 PM the next day.

Overnight 2-Day Sahara Tour - The weather was bad and we couldn't see the starry sky or the sunrise in the desert, but the driver was very kind and responded well to our requests, and we really enjoyed the tour because he always cared about us inside.

Excellent, but room for improvement - Plus points - The trip is very well organised - Youssef our driver was polite, friendly, accommodating and got us there and back safely - The scenery is great - from tiny settlements to mountains to desert - The desert camp was amazing, and we really enjoyed it - We chose the luxury camp and it was like a very good hotel room. We were really impressed with it. - The camp was beautifully set out with many nice seating areas and a restaurant tent - The camp people and the camel drivers Mohammed and Ali were very friendly and helpful and chatty - Dinner was very, very good - The camel ride was fantastic. Definitely my best ever - The camels looked very well treated - The van was comfortable and air-conditioned - There are lots of stops en route - Ait Ben Haddou is a great place to visit - We liked the music, drumming and bonfire in the evening - Overall, it was an amazing experience and definitely exceeded my expectations Improvements - I would have much preferred to have a guide as there was no interpretation whatsoever so we were in the van for about seven hours a day with no commentary. This is great if you can amuse yourself but having an extra guide would’ve been brilliant. I wanted to learn about Burber culture and the history of the area. I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting facts to share. - I would’ve much preferred to stop in towns for lunch rather than at roadside restaurants with little character. - We stopped in Oazaxate for only 15 minutes. Youssef kindly agreed to extend the time we had by another 15 minutes so we could nip into the old town which looked amazing. - Youssef also agreed to add add one unscheduled five minute stop so we could see an amazing view. Otherwise, it would have just been driving on day 2. The program needs changing for day 2 so it doesn’t just feel like transportation but feels more like sightseeing. - The coffee stops were very limited with just packets of crisps and chocolate etc . Why not stop somewhere with proper Moroccan food? - Finally, I would have appreciated some fresh fruit and yoghurt - a more healthy breakfast and not just pastries in the camp.
