3 day tour with private chauffeur from Fez to Marrakesh - My sister and I did the 3 day tour from Fez to Marrakesh Private chauffeur Yousef is very knowledgeble about the surroundings, great chauffeur and no speaks very goog english We could stop where ever we wanted and drove each day from 8 to 5 We planned 2 stops (at Risanni and Ait ben Haddou) and for lunches Camel ride starting with a group and then turning to a different direction to small camp, so also private ride on a camel for about an hour We slept at Nodam Camp in Sahara, just 2 tents, no bathroom, 2 beds on the floor, just as we like it! No noise, no lightpolution, just watching the stars! One night in the mountains at Dades Gorges in hotel with (cold!) swimming pool. Communication in advance with Omar was easy, every went as we had agrees I can highly recommand this trip!

Great experience! - Wonderful experience. The Sahara dessert with camel ride and overall experience throughout the beauties of Morocco is amazing. Our driver Mohammed was really polite and a nice person.

Decent overall but NOT A PRIVATE TOUR - We went on this tour in May 2019 during Ramadan. Note that the description says this is a private tour but in fact it is not a private tour. There was another person in the car with us from Fes to Marrakech. We were in a Dacia Duster. Our driver was good but keep in mind that he is a driver and not a tour guide so his English is mediocre and he will not explain very much to you. The camel ride was a disappointment. We did not venture deep into the dunes but rather just on the edge where you can still see the town buildings. Also note, in the desert camps, more people will join you. We were a total of 16 people. There are stops along the way including the typical sales ploy to get you to buy Moroccan carpets. However, there is very little pressure to do so. Food places that we were brought to were also very touristy with inflated prices which we did not like. For the price I guess it's decent but it's very deceiving to call this a private tour.
