Nice tour! - Awesome experience! Ismael was a great driver and Mustafa very friendly and helpful guide. Always there to help, answer questions and meet our needs. Would consider spending more time in Merzouga/desert as it is a lot of driving.

Exceptional experience to live - I read a lot of reviews about this trip and I read a lot of nonsense. Our Iddir Guide was extremely friendly and helpful to the needs of the group. We started the experience with scenic mountain trails up to Ait Ben Haddoy where a local Guide at a cost of 2 euros accompanied us to discover the history of this Unesco heritage. We stayed in a hotel with every comfort, dinner and breakfast buffet as well as the night after the desert camp. The following day we embarked on the journey to the Sahara with the last stretch of an hour riding the camel. Shared bathrooms for the base village, en-suite bathrooms for the lyxury one and worth it, trust me. Overall mandatory experience for those who want to know the real Morocco

Amazing! Thanks Hakim and Samad - Amazing and unforgettable trip. Hakim and Samad took great care of us, always willing to put in the extra effort to make sure we were happy. Lots of driving on the trip, but very pleasant watching Morocco go by. The local guides were great too. Everyone has been very friendly. Great itinerary and a pleasure to see the Sahara.

Experience at the top 🤩 - 3 fantastic days!! 🤩🤩 Beautiful discoveries! The camel rides are perfect (we take advantage of it twice) to attend sunset + sunrise and take us to the camp. So much more original than just a bus deposit!🐪 Total change of scenery🤩 The accommodation services exceed my expectations for this rate! Basic but decent Inn, Double tents (and not dormitory as I imagined) with shared sanitary facilities for standard choice. Our Guide Rahim is very caring, and manages our trip perfectly.🤩 A big thank you for all his attention!!🎂😜🤩 Our driver Smaïn, top for safe driving in a 19-seater minibus. Air conditioning works very well👍 Note, many hours of travel, every day, fortunately with breaks every 2 hours. Sick in transport, refrain 😜 Guided tours are spread out all along.🌴😎 Some quick stops welcome (without obligation to buy) in shops of argan oil, rose cosmetics, Berber carpets where we are explained the manufacture😁 Exceptional Award for money!! 🤩It's hard to believe it's possible to make all this trip for this fare 👍😍

Action packed, incredible value. - Action packed adventure. Hakim was a superb driver, actually more than that he kept us all together to ensure maximum enjoyment. Nothing was too much bother for him. Sights & experiences were truly unique - Morocco is a stunning country, rich in history and culture. This trip packed an enormous amount into a short time so your stamina is tested. Well worth it though. Our group jelled quickly as helped by Hakim. This added to the overall enjoyment. Thanks again Hakim. Highly recommended.

Beautiful views but wouldn’t repeat this experience - I’m in two minds about this experience. The Sahara is beautiful and watching the sunrise / sunset was very special. However, the camels are not treated well at all and it really puts a dampener on the experience. The trip is very touristy and you are carted from destination to destination with groups of others doing the same thing so if super touristing things aren’t your thing then I wouldn’t recommend this. I’m glad I did the trip as you got to see some amazing views but I wouldn’t do it again.
