Lovely experience - We went for 4 days and three nights. We did the tour as it was scheduled. But the last day, since we were staying a day more, we stayed in the hotel Palais les Dunes. The responsible of the Hotel Zaid was super friendly and made everything easy. We stayed all dsy in the pool, and then we did the 4X4 excursion and the Quad in the dessert. They were both amazing experienced. The room in the Hotel was super nice as well as the pool, it was really nice to have that day extra in the dessert. It’s really worthy to stay one day longer so you could do those field trips. 3 days goes pretty fast and you don’t have much time to do both of this. Totally recommend the trip to the dessert! It was an amazing experience.

Romance and adventure in Marrakech - Extremely helpful and comprehensive concierge experience. The three days involves extensive driving from Marrakech to the Sahara which is unavoidable, but the multiple stops at entertaining and archeological locations was perfect. Absolutely upgrade to the quality Riad and Berber desert tent experience.

Awesome Experience - Great experience, everything went very well, excellent guides, very good hotel and a great tent in the desert. They also helped us find a taxi direction Fes. I only recommend a clearer communication between the driver and the passengers.

Amazing Desert Experience - The trip was really well organized! We had an amazing driver who was looking after us all the time. It is a long journey but on the way you will meet lots of locals, visit different places and of course Sahara. it is a really beautiful experience in the desert, camel ride, locals playing drums! Just keep in mind than you don’t go really far into the desert, the tent where you would stay overnight is located 15 min away. Also, be prepared for the dessert as it is really cold overnight!

Super many sights, nice guides but unfortunately also some tourist traps - I really liked the tour. There was a lot to see. It is a long drive but with enough breaks. And each of them in places with beautiful views. A super talented driver who was very fast on the road, but I didn’t feel a bit unsafe with him. You really get to see all sorts of places of Morocco apart from the highlight, the Sahara. What I didn't like so much are the built-in tourist traps. You get turned on the cloths for the desert that you don't really need at all because the sun doesn't burn like that anymore. And the leader in AitBen Haddou ends up getting paid. So you would have to go out on your own, but there are no departure times and so you are never sure when to return. The time in the desert was a bit too short in my opinion because you have a tight schedule in terms of activities there. We had booked the standard option, so the one for 90€ and according to the organizer there is no private tent in it. We upgraded that but later let other travelers who had the standard version say that it was not necessary because they also had a private tent. But all in all, I would recommend someone who has never done this before just keep their eyes peeled for tourist traps

Great experience! - The high lights of southern/central Morocco in 3 very nice days. We enjoyed the Welcoming and impressive scenery and stories. No pushy people, really more than value for money!

I would have spent a little more - I'm going to write what I wish I could have read. The price is great, the driver is 10 and the places to visit are the same Q the other tours. The big difference is the places where it gets night. The first night, we were put in a hotel with a horrible cold, unheated, dirty, the bathroom door was just gone, the table tied with cables and papers lying under the bed. Seeing the percale, I looked at the reserve and saw that it was not the same, so I asked for the change and there much better. As for the desert... Uff!!! Already on the way, in the camels, we watched as the other groups stopped to climb the high dunes to watch sunset, take pictures, make snow... I don’t know, you could see that they enjoyed it much more since Q we didn’t stop until we got to our camp, after walking past other super nice ones, and the difference was noticeable, but it wasn’t that anymore... The beds are wooden (I sleep almost anywhere but it was impossible there) one blanket per person, a friiiiioooo!!!! , the dinner quite poor, the party... Anyway, listening to the other camps made us want to go and couple up. Breakfast was already the icing, they make us get up at 5 o'clock to give us a sad coffee with a piece of dry bread with I think Q was jam... And then to have us wait until after seven o'clock to leave... Anyway, talking to people from our minibus, who went to other camps, we dropped our souls to the ground (and spending the same) I'm sorry for this comment, I hope it will serve to improve these points because really q on such a long trip, the rest, even if it is little, has to be of better quality.
