ENJOYED IT TO THE FULLEST, THANKS TO DOZI - As it was my first time in Morocco I really loved the 3-days tour from Marrakech to Fes. We had a lot of fun doing the excursions with our group. The 2nd day was the best one so far, as we refreshed our feet in the cold water in the middle of the canyons until the ride of the camels, that are actually dromedaries for the sunset and of course the dancing around the bonfire with everyone in the camp in the night. What made this experience so special and memorable was FOR SURE OUR GUIDE DOZI (please ask about him when you book, I promise you’ll never regret it). Dozi greeted us with a warm welcome when he picked us up from our Riads and he made sure we were ALL comfortable. He’s very passionate about his work and you can see that he really wanted to make sure that we enjoyed this experience to the fullest. Dozi was always entertaining us even inside the van and always giving us informations about our surroundings… While talking to other groups that did not book with his company, I realized how lucky we were for having him as guide. Other people from other companies were complaining about how unsociable and unwelcoming the others were… And again please ask for DOZI when you have the chance and don’t book in August if you are sensitive to the heat. Thank you DOZI & Company

Unforgettable experience - Magical experience! Our guide Yassin was fun , considerate, and kept us safe with his excellent driving skills. We wish our tour was longer. The entire itinerary was incredible and unforgettable! The sights , people, and lodging worked well. The royal suite tent is worth it!! His associates Karim and Youssef were highly knowledgeable that we momentarily don’t notice how warm the temperatures were. We will not hesitate to book again and will recommend to everyone to visit Morocco ! Thank you!

A formidable epic led by an honourable captain - What an unforgettable experience in the desert! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped by the magic and breathtaking beauty of this place, where the silence and vastness of the golden sand literally leave speechless. The setting was sublimated by the warm and attentive welcome of the whole team that took care of us. Every detail has been carefully thought out to make us feel pampered from start to finish with always stops in sumptuous places. A special mention to our driver, Yassin, who added an even more special touch to this adventure. His kindness, professionalism, and humor made him much more than just a driver: a real brother more. Thank you Yassine, for this connection that will remain etched in our memories!

Amazing experience on the road - The tour took us to visit many amazing places, always accompanied by our great driver Abdul. The guides that showed us around (Mohammed in Ait Ben Haddou and Samir at the Todgha Gorges) were very nice and competent. The desert walk with the dromedaries was a lot of fun and the people we met in the group made everything better (go family!). The only sour spot was the hotel for the first night out, not really on par with the rest of the experience (at least food wise), but really all in all the experience is highly recommended!
