Wanting to repeat!! - The agency worried about our trip since we were interested in your service, looking for the best way to fit the route we wanted according to our flights. Once there, our guide, Hassan, waited patiently at the gate of the airport, with delicious pasta and cold water. There are no words to describe Hassan’s attention... Not only does he know every road in Morocco and every detail of its geography and culture, but he is charming, detailed and attentive. Being a group of 4 young girls, we feel safe and cared for at all times. Hassan makes the trip enjoyable and cares for your well-being at all times, perfectly measuring breaks and stops. And even let us connect our mobile to play our own music! Although our visit coincided with a national holiday, he adapted our visits and sought alternative routes and restaurants, without losing detail. The places we slept were authentic riads, clean and with wonderful attention, which brought us closer to Moroccan culture. Once we finished the contracted tour, Hassan stayed available to us helping us in whatever we needed. Thanks to Hassan and his agency, we have had a first contact with this culture that only leaves us wanting more.

Private trip to the desert - We were a group of 8 people on a 4-day excursion from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert, visiting Ait ben Hadou, Ouarzazate, Dades Valley, Tenirhir, Todra Gorge, Rissani... The organization was always excellent, from the person who picked us up at the airport, the riads included in the stays that quality-price couldn't be better, the meals included, and the attention always received. Our unbeatable guide Aziz! Totally recommended for his professionalism and experience. It exceeded expectations....We felt safe at all times and know that we could not have put ourselves in better hands! Millions of thanks!!! Oh and also, for even more surprise, the trip was private for the 8 of us and it cost us much cheaper than going in a group with strangers... A bargain and nothing to see!

A great experience - We contacted Hassan because my sister had traveled with the company before and we were not disappointed with the experience at all. We told him the days we had available and what interested us most and he organized the rest, always with great kindness and efficiency. We recommend asking Hassar what the exact route is so you can select the stops that interest you the most and he will adapt to your preferences. We took a 4-day tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert, round trip along different routes and landscapes, and ending the trip with a day in Marrakech. Although the city impressed us and pleased us with its hectic life, without a doubt what we liked most was the road to the desert and the night we spent there. Hassan knew where to stop, from hotels and restaurants (we ate very well in all of them and we recommend the Berber omelette!) to more everyday places like markets. We went as a couple alone in their van, very comfortable and spacious, and at a very affordable price. We would have liked to spend more time with the daily life of the desert. It is a definitely recommendable experience and of course we would repeat with this company and this guide. It is undoubtedly a wise move to hire a local company that knows the place well and is part of it. We hope to see you again!

We will return 100% - We contacted this company because we read about it in forums, Hassan answered us very quickly and answered all the questions we had, so we contracted with him the excursion from Marrakech for 5 days and 4 nights through the desert for two people, private. I assure you that it is worth spending a little more and living the experience like this since I can say that it has been one of the best trips of my life. The sensation of seeing for the first time on the horizon the enormous dunes of the Sahara desert, as big as mountains cannot be explained in words, as well as the silence of it and the Berber party around the fire and the starry sky. Speechless. Hassan took us around places so we could see that other agencies did not go beyond the tourist routes. Hassan was attentive to everything all the time, as professional as a pine tree. The trip in his new and spacious vehicle was very pleasant, with his conversations, background music... And he drove great, making the road trip very enjoyable. We are looking forward to returning with our families or friends and repeating the experience.

Exceptional - A dream trip! We saw the other companies at some points and nothing to see, native guide of the Spanish-speaking desert. So friendly. He knows everything and takes you to the best places. Everything was incredible, we tipped him a lot at the end because we thought the quality was much higher than the price we paid! We will return for sure.

THE BEST TOURS OF MOROCCO - We hired Hassan and this company because of their good reviews in different forums and it was a total success. We took 4 friends/couples on the 4-day, 3-night tour, from Marrakech to Merzouga, and back to Marrakech. It's spectacular, we couldn't have chosen better. Starting from the vehicle he took us with, wide, clean... new! , the driving, the kindness and willingness, the route, the explanations and recommendations, the chosen hotels, the best camp in the desert... EVERYTHING, we couldn't be more grateful, an unforgettable experience and also the price is very short for the price. experience and everything it offers you! It is my second time doing this tour and nothing to do with the first company I hired... Be careful with local agencies there or tour in civitatis, nothing to do with this company and Hassan! Thank you thank you and thank you
