The best part of our trip! - We really liked the Luxury package with great locations for accommodation, food, and the desert tent was private and included beautiful en suite. All staff including organiser, drivers, and guides were all fantastic and very helpful. We felt we saw a lot in a short amount of time.

Best driver/guide ever - We had the most lovely driver/guide, credits to Hassan! The trip itself is awesome, I strongly doubt you can see as many things in the same amount of time on your own. Highly recommend this trip!

Fantastic Multi Area Experience! - If you want to see a lot of Morocco and ofcourse spend time in the desert.. this tour is for you. From top to bottom the communication was perfect. Everything was explained up front and any questions answered quickly. Medhi runs a very tight tour organization! Pick up was a breeze (in what appeared like a brand new ultra clean van) from our Riad in Marrakech and off we went to explore the many areas of Morocco which all were fantastic. Ilyas our guide and driver was really Fantastic, throughout the drive he ensured we had plenty of breaks, and great photo opportunities. When at local sites like Ait Benhaddou, a local guide took us through the Casbah. Which worked out beautifully. So many other sites along the way, but I also wanted to call out the Luxury Desert camp. The whole group worked so well in harmony and we had such a great time. From the sunset camel ride to sand boarding to dune bashing in the 4x4; and oh yeah the food was phenomenal! The tents with bathrooms and having the ability to shower made a huge difference, especially since we were there in really hot July heat. If your still reading... Go book this tour! You cannot do wrong here. Get out and travel...

Wonderful trip to remember for a long time. - It was an excellent experience. We have been picked by Mohammed the driver right on time. The van was comfortable and we made enough stops in between to take a brake. The hotel we stayed at the first night was very good. Supper was delicious and service was good. The rest of the trip was impeccable from the Camel ride to the camp in the desert. I would recommend this company for the good service and how they take care of their customers . Thank you very much for everything. A trip to remember forever.

Great road trip to the Sahara desert - We went on this trip to experience the Sahara desert and it's worth it! Overall, the trip was well organized and the itinerary properly planned out. Although there are a few things I think they could improve on, such as: 1) van/mini bus - call time was 7:30am but we were shuffled like cards and transferred thrice before we finally got to our vehicle, which wasn't as comfortable as the one we settled in; then left almost around 9. 2) tour stops - it would be great if the driver tells us what we'll be doing/seeing, as well as explain that we're stopping for a guided tour—so people can opt out. Also some 'picture' stops are really unnecessary, it consumes time, instead of arriving a bit earlier to our accommodation to relax, enjoy dinner, and longer sleep. 3) restaurants - complete tourist trap, overpriced and not very good food. 4) dinner at the sahara camp was very late, which resulted to a late bed time, thus not having enough sleep to wake up early for the sunrise... also the 'fire circle/dance' wasn't very good (the guys drumming couldn't hold a beat), was still somehow entertaining tho. Well despite all those cons and the feeling of being rushed, we really had a great time, met new friends, saw how beautiful the eastern part of Morocco is, and experienced the enigma of the Saharan desert. Ps Go for the luxury option, the accommodations are worthy the extra buck.

Too much driving, poor travel experience - The Sahara desert is beautiful, the camel ride was seamless, and the stops along the way were outstanding. However: A lot of driving hours and poor communication for a couple of very interesting short 15-45 minute site visits. Unless you book luxurious packages and perhaps do the 4 day trip, get ready for sub-standard accommodation less desirable than hostel.. There are probably dozens of agencies selling this tour and I suspect our experience applies to all of them, not exclusively to the one we booked with. Our experience: booked standard package based on tour descriptions. Many elements are open for interpretation leaving poor taste in your month at the location. - Issue #1: first night accommodation in a standard hotel was the worse of my life. Room was smelling cigarette, mattress had the shape of a body, pillow and linean were dirty, shower floor was not draining thus restricting the shower usage to 30 seconds, cold room, heavy low quality blankets. I was to be charged €10 to use the heater - Issue #2: no communication about stops, meal time, etc. The driver was very friendly but with limited language skills. For example, we were asked to get up at 5:30 on 2C temperature but did not get served coffee until 6ish and did not move until 7ish, and we never knew about what was coming next. Things to consider: - a lot of driving with sone valuable stops albeit of only 10 minute - you can’t trust anyone! The tour guide convinced us to buy head scarfs (which were not needed) from the most expensive shop (and told us the other ones were more expensive when in fact it was not true). - the shared camp was as expected (terrible beds, cold) but the meal was good.
