Amazing tour with an amazing driver - Fes 23/09/2024 - Marrakech 25/09/2024
Everything in the tour was perfectly organised (timing, accommodation, itinerary), from the pick up in Fes to the (sad) drop off in Marrakech. I had the opportunity of knowing aspects of Morocco that are very different from the classical 'medina-kasbah package', my personal highlights being Tinghīr oasis, of course Erg Chebbi desert, Rissani old market and village, Todra Gorges (and all Atlas mountains), Hait Ben Haddou.
But the real 'plus' to the tour was our AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING driver, MOHA(mmed)...extremely professional, safe, careful, very knowledgeable, always ready to go far and beyond to make everyone confortable and feel part of the 'strange family' we have been for three days...above all, a very genuine, always smiling and fun guy, the perfect companion you'd wish to meet on such a long tour.
Thank you, Morocco, Moha and everyone in the BeryBery group!!!

Beautiful Sahara Tour - Desert tour was beautiful, and Ait Ben Haddou was great as well. Hamza drove us everywhere, and offered explanations of all the places.

Great tour, you will see a lot. Worth the money! - Younes (driver) and Omar (guide) were very friendly and made the long car journey easy. As was Mustafa who drove us from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh showing us thing such as traditional Berber villages and allowing us to have flexibility of stops and more time in some places rather than others.
The Sahara Camp was set just edge of the desert with Camel rides into arrive at the camp.
Everyone working at the camp were very friendly and welcoming.
We booked the luxury room which had an ensuit bathroom and shower which was clean and nice hot water too. Large queen sized bed which was very comfortable.
Dinner was chicken tagine and breakfast was pastries and yoghurt.
Value worth the money.
At Ouarzazate we stayed at 3 star Hotel le perle du sud which was very comfortable and clean with friendly staff. Breakfast and dinner had a buffet option. The hotel also had a lovely pool but unfortunately we didn't have time to use it. Much better than expected for a 3 star.
One thing we didnt realise is that they combine the tours from different companies/ packages together which caused a lot of confusion/ looked disorganised from the outside as we didnt know what was going on. That being said, everything still went smoothly.
Overall a great tour worth the money. Although long drives, we have seen so muvh of the country that we wouldnt have managed in the time span otherwise. Highly recommend!

The desert makes it worthwhile - We went from Fez to Marrakech, on a 3-day and overnight tour. It is the minimum to be able to enjoy the sites, as the trips are very long. It is impressive to see the cedar forests, the middle atlas where many Berber communities are seen, or the change to the desert landscape. I recommend downloading a podcast or music, as they do not always take advantage of trips to explain what will be seen at the next stop.
The worst part was undoubtedly the meals in roadside restaurants with bloated prices where the food left enough to be desired, and some absurd stop with a guide who took you to places agreed to buy, instead of seeing the village in question. Luckily, we went with Mustafa, our guide, who always explained everything you asked him in good Spanish and when we asked him to go to a better place to eat he took us without problems. Also mention Aziz, the driver, who gave us a lot of safety when driving.
Despite this, they calculate very well the times for you to get to see the sunset with the camels. Without a doubt, a precious moment that we take forever. And it is very worth hiring the quad bikes to see the sunrise. Besides that it is also beautiful, they let you do the goat with the quad bike and took a snowboard to throw us down the dunes. You're having a crazy time, and they left us for almost an hour. Of course, hire the cheapest quad bikes there (we leave it for 50€ negotiating a lot).
In short. A pass of experience that must be done yes or yes. It's the best of Morocco, no doubt.

Unique experience, recommended! - We booked the tour by contacting the supplier directly, always very helpful in providing us with all the necessary information. The only attention to be paid to are the facilities that are provided for overnight stays, as they are not always those indicated but may vary. Despite this specification being made to us, we noticed that the first night’s accommodation was very different from the one initially indicated. We are used to moving independently during the trips and for this reason the tour at times seemed a bit touristic, however, we think that otherwise it could not be structured also because you travel the country from North to South and in this regard it must be said that the price is really affordable. We loved to see how the landscape slowly transformed along the way, passing from the Atlas Mountains to the beautiful dunes of Erg Chebbi, where we enjoyed a magnificent sunset. Indescribable night full of stars in the desert. All the people who accompanied us on this tour and those we met along the way, on the street, in the clubs, in the Kasbahs, made us feel welcomed and gave us the honor of knowing this people, part of their culture and their land.
A special mention to Mustapha, our tireless driver for the first two days: a genuine guy and an excellent guide who despite the busy schedule, was able to respect our times and our requests, making us feel at ease!

Superb but a lot of time on the bus!! - Very nice excursion- saw a part of Morocco that we would have otherwise missed / lots of time on the bus - 33 hours over 3 days!! With a group of unruly young people who made us waste a lot of time - lost or not on time to return to the bus / but excellent experience!!

Not worth it - - Drivers — 4/5 stars (Very helpful and knowledgeable)
- Accommodations — 2/5 (The camp is far from being Luxurious, there were huge black cockroaches running on the floor. The dishes were not clean and the tent smelled like cigarettes.)
- Food — 3/5 (The worst was Rihab restaurant — very dry meat and tiny portions, taste is below average. The spot, just like the most stops is to bring tourists in. At the camp we had to buy water as it wasn't included with breakfast.)
- Activities/Sights — 1/5 (You barely see any of the cities listed. The stops are 10-15 min just to visit a toilet in a touristy spots. In Ifrane, for example, we stopped only at a cafe where all the busses filled with tourists stop, then left without seeing the city. Same with the cedar forest and other towns apart from Rissani.)
- Desert + camp — 1/5 (15 min camel ride around the camp... We didn't event got into the desert. The camps are located nearby. You see the dunes in the horizon, that's it. Also we arrived late in the evening and left early in morning, haven't had time to explore the dessert and shower as we got kicked out of the camp with literally a !5 min notice!. But they did manage to squeeze in the "shopping presentations" everywhere which is the overall theme of the trip, they will milk you everywhere after each activity. Sandboarding — non-existing.)
