Amazing experience, Saleem was a great host - We booked a group tour but ended up in a small of just us 4 and another person. Saleem was a great guide and driver who was very kind and did his best to accommodate our request for stopovers and food. All accomodation and food was great, the Sahara experience was amazing and we had a great time overall. Highly recommended.

马拉喀什到菲斯沙漠三日团 - 对我来说这趟旅程相当不错，具有很高的性价比。我们一行四人预定，酒店和豪华帐篷提供了不错的早餐和晚餐，他们尽力把这做到了最好。路上有一些文化体验活动，比如羊毛地毯，可以选择自愿购买，不买也没事。骆驼进出撒哈拉沙漠是非常不错的体验，篝火晚会也很热闹。在戈壁和沙漠里昼夜温差很大，需要多准备些衣服，不然就会像我一样发烧。在车上的车程稍微有些长，最好准备些打发时间的视频。 For me, this journey is quite good and cost-effective. Four of us booked, and the hotel and luxury tent provided a good breakfast and dinner, and they tried their best to do it. There are some cultural experience activities on the road, such as wool carpets, dan s camels in and out of the Sahara Desert is a very good experience, and the bonfire party is also very lively. There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi and the desert. You need to prepare more clothes, otherwise you will have a fever like me.

They also dealt with any problems that occurred. - I joined alone. I upgraded the tent and it was more comfortable than I expected. The tour itself was amazing. When I got to the Sahara, I was told to take my coat off before I rode the camel, and when I did, I lost it. I noticed it immediately and told the camp staff, but they didn't come back, and I explained the situation to the man who spoke to me before I left the camp the next day (he was not responsible, as he was the driver, but I didn't know what was going on at the time), but it didn't help, and I was informed that I had found my coat right after I left for Fez, where I had no choice but to keep in touch with the travel agency. Court was eventually delayed a day and returned with the rest of the tour the next day. It was quite a difficult experience, but the travel agency worked hard to solve it. Morocco is a difficult country and I don't know who I can trust, but they did what I said about this travel agency.

Everything is good - The tour was amazing! We’ve also visited an oasis, old castle where several popular films were created (be careful with your shoes crossing the river). Sahara is spectacular! Recommend to visit

A journey that will certainly be repeated again - It's a fantastic experience that you can't miss. You can't go without meeting Ahmed. Very grateful to the people I agreed with on this trip, who I didn't expect me to like so much. Thanks to the Ahmed guide I have been able to enjoy an unforgettable trip. Full of memories and new people. It’s been a lot of laughs with you Ahmed, not only did I take the pain of going back to Barcelona and leaving Morocco I also took the pain of never seeing these people with whom I have agreed and especially with you Ahmed. We love you very much Ahmed.

Impressive experience with smears - Everything was very well organized. But more information about the process would have been helpful. Unfortunately, our driver to Merzouga did not speak English or French, which made communication difficult, yet he was very nice and strenuous....The journey on to Fes by taxi was very exhausting, this driver did not even try to communicate and drove mildly put “very sporty”. He stopped for dinner once, otherwise there were no more breaks or sightseeing!!!

Improve the transport for the journey to Fez. Stop forcing tourists to eat at lousy restaurants for lunch! Shameful - Hardship tour, especially the last day going to Fes. We were combined with other guests in a cramped small bus and forced to eat lunch at a super lousy restaurant for 100 MAD each. Bus has no ventilation. I was coughing very badly and feeling miserable from 8 am to now 6:40 pm and still we haven't arrived at my Fez hotel. Toilet breaks were not very frequent also. There was too much waiting in the morning for the other guests hence all the delays. If you want to combine the guests, at least get a bigger bus. The seats are so small that the woman beside me is literally sitting on my thigh.

Must see destinations of Morocco with some bumps along the way - This trip takes you to the beautiful countryside and the desert of Morocco but it was with a couple of bumps along the way. Day 1: when buying the trip you can choose which language it should be in. We got picked up by our English speaking driver (as chosen) but since the group was not full he drove us to a meeting spot of many drivers and divided our van amongst other tour vans. We ended up in a van with a French speaking driver who knew very little English which meant that a lot of times we did not know for how long we are stoping at a particular destination and did not receive much explanations during the way. Visiting Ait Ben Haddou was beautiful and at the drop off point you meet with a local guide that gives you lots of informations about the place. However he demands a 30 dirrhams payment (website states 20) and also guides you to a very expensive restaurant with 12 eur for lunch. When some of our members decided to eat elsewhere he was dissatisfied stating that now he won't guide us through everything planned for the day. This part was a bad experience. After you get dropped at a booked Riad which for us was a very cold hotel with mediocre dinner (e.g. overcooked spaghetti with almost no sauce). Since we booked a "luxury" accomodation this felt subpar. Day 2: breakfast in the above mentioned place was ok. We then drove to Todgha Gorge and a nearby village where a great local guide showed us around. We got to see carpet making process which was nice. We were extremely satisfied with our local guide for day 2 which was friendly, informative and also spoke multiple languages. You continue with driving towards the desert. In the way we got dropped for lunch in a place that was again very expensive and also in the middle of nowhere so you cant really choose to eat any place else. Another turist trap which was frustrating. When you get to the desert, you ride the camels in and out of the camp and stay at their luxury camp in the desert. In the evening there is a party with live Bedouin music near the fire. We loved everything about this experience. One minus was that the beds in the tents collect loads of static electricity which shocked us a couple of times when trying to go to sleep but this could be solved with using blankets as an insulation. Day 3: you get up early and ride the camels back to your transportation. Here we switched the driver and the new one spoke English a lot better and gave us more information along the way. The last day you drive around 8 hours to Fes which can be very exhausting. Again we were dropped at expensive places for lunch with no other options around however compared do Day 2 the food here was much better. Along the way you stop to see a forest where you can feed monkeys that live there. After that you get dropped near your Riad in Fes. Overall you get to see some of the must see places in Morocco and it is a great option if you do not want to rent a car. However there were a couple of things that bothered us with this trip and could be improved upon (getting an English speaking driver guide as agreed when buying the trip, better accomodation on Day 1 (especially since you buy a luxury option), not getting dropped off in the tourist trap restaurants).

Okay experience - lacked comfort - Mixed feelings on this experience, was expecting more and was disappointed. Transportation was good for the arrival to Merzouga desert - our driver Houssain was very nice, fun and a good driver. His English is limited. Our guides at the attractions, Abdullah at Ain Ben Haddou was excellent - that part was the highlight of the trip for us. The lunch spot on the way was a bit overpriced and underwhelming. The camel ride itself is an experience, not the most comfortable but it is beautiful to be in the desert at sunset. There are many groups all going at the same time. The sand board was a letdown - a small hill you sit on the board and go down. We booked the luxury camp upgrade and while the tent was large, clean and comfortable with a large bathroom (hot water!) it lacked any charm and its freezing. They do provide extra blankets which helped. The food at the camp was basic - nothing special. We skipped the camel ride at sunset and chose to return via 4x4 which was a wise choice. It was dark and cold and we didn’t want to go through the experience again. Our return to Fes was a bit interesting. We were told that we would have a taxi - I guess no large van was available? We got picked up and were with 6 others (a bit crammed in a small van). Our driver Mohammed was very nice, took care of us well (though the driving was good it was really scary as many drivers get super close to vehicles in front of them). Even my husband was uncomfortable with the driving. We stopped at some spots along the way and took breaks which were appreciated- a very long drive to Fes. I don’t think I’d recommend this type of trip as it lacked many things I was hoping - mainly comfort. We did have an adventure though!
