Great stay in Marocco - I can't recommend Mustapha enough! We had a wonderful 10-day stay in Morocco, all thanks to Mustapha. Our three-generation family of seven was beyond satisfied with everything he had to offer. It was our first time traveling with a guide, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Mustapha helped us plan the entire journey, organized all the accommodations (each night in a different hotel, all of them excellent), and drove us in his comfortable minivan to every destination. He also recommended great restaurants and attractions. Whenever we felt tired or wanted to change plans, it was always met with a friendly smile and a reassuring, “No problem.” Beyond being an exceptional guide, Mustapha felt like a trusted companion. He’s an outstanding communicator, speaking more languages than we can recall, effortlessly connecting with everyone and eliminating any language barriers. Traveling with him, we felt incredibly safe and well taken care of. Thanks to Mustapha, exploring Morocco wasn’t just a trip—it was an immersive experience filled with vibrant flavors, scents, and unforgettable adventures. To top it all off, the entire journey was priced very competitively, making it worth every euro. Highly recommended!

3 day trip to merzouga - Our journey through Morocco was unforgettable. From the Sahara to Thinghir and the ancient Ait Ben Haddou, each spot amazed us. Mustafa was always reachable, ensuring our safety, while Farid, our driver, was kind and attentive. Every moment was filled with wonder. Highly recommend this trip for anyone seeking breathtaking landscapes and incredible experiences!

Wonderful experience - Lovely trip and our guide Hussein was wonderful funny and very helpful. We met a lovely bunch of people who were part of our trip. Our camp was so rustic and we had a blast by the fire in the evening, pick up a few drinks on the way and party in the evening if you wish. Youll make several stops during the 3 days including access to banks if you ever needed it.

Incredible desert dive - Incredible experience, 100% recommended. We were 4 girls and we have been super comfortable and safe at all times. The activities in the desert were 10 and the guides, both Mustafa and Ismael, were GREAT. Without a doubt, if I were to repeat it again or had to recommend it to someone, I would repeat it with them.

Excellent - An amazing experience! If you are thinking of taking this tour do not hesitate, you will not regret it! During the journey we visited a lot of places and always accompanied by a local Guide who explained everything perfectly. The hours of travel were made very enjoyable thanks to our Guide and travel companion Iddir. He was always super attentive and fun with us, he is the best! In addition, the travel company was also super attentive and friendly with us, They were in charge of sending us a pre-trip itinerary, they solved all the doubts, at the end of the trip they also asked us how our experience was... A 10! The only flaw we found in the excursion is that the meals were a closed menu and we did not have the option to choose the restaurant to go to but, if you like local Moroccan food, you will have no problem. There are also other options to choose from (pizza, pasta...) You will live a unique and unmatched experience, I recommend it 100%

Great! - It was great. Hesham was fantastic and talked to all of us along the way. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Although our time was limited it really would have been great to have done more stops on the last day because it’s a lot of driving but Hesham made plenty of rest stops to stretch and get coffee. The lunch time stops were great and affordable. I would recommend using and paying for quads instead of riding dromedary. Felt very unethical to me but one or two young people on the camp site really showed care for them which reassured me. Very little time spent in the camp but it was fine. Good overall.
