Incredible experiences with our fantastic driver Houssien - We did the 3 day desert tour with our guide and driver Houssien. He was so thoughtful, kind and a careful driver. He always knew the best spots to stop for photos, food or even wild monkeys! The tour itself was incredible, we saw so much in so little time and we were mind blown to experience the Sahara so vividly.

King Houssien drove us to the nicest places! - This is a fantastic tour. Our driver was Houssien and he was great. A kind and funny soul and most importantly a very safe driver. Very thoughtful and always stopped for breaks and panoramic views when needed. A little shy in the beginning but got more chatty the longer the tour was. He has a great sense of humour. Shukran Houssien! You get to see plenty and the stops are interesting and sufficiently long. everything very well organised and we felt good taken care of. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat (with Houssien of course). 100% recommendable.

Exceptional - The tour was amazing. It was The best part of our Morocco trip . We were promptly picked by by our driver Hussain right from the first day. Hussain accompanied us on all three days (except the camping at the dessert that was arranged by the company) . He is extremely kind , responsible and an amazing driver who made us feel safe even through the desert storm as well as the heavy rains. The guided tour part was a small part of the trip which could have been more insightful. The main part was the experience in the Sahara and the desert camping . The food , the music , the visit to the Berber village , experience of wearing the traditional clothes … it was all perfectly organized and we made so many new friends and had an amazing time . Btw the camels 🐪 did an amazing job too . inspite of the desert storm , they brought us to our camps safely and they were the best. Thanks ANDO travels for the experience.

Dream in Morocco - Huge gratitude and thanks to AndoTravel agency and your amazing driver Brahim who was taking our group on a 3 days trip to the Sahara. Brahim is the most kindest person and drives I’ve ever met and he helped us for whatever we needed. We visited also his family in our way; and they welcomed us with so much love, food and their traditional tea! Because of this divine experience this will not be the last time I come to Morocco!

3 day desert tour - The tour was perfectly managed and guided. Yousaff was an excellent driver, paying attention always to the details. The only handicaps was the restaurant where we stopped, they offered us tourist menu, always with the same variety and quite expensive for Marrocco.
