Knowledgeable and Friendly Guide - This tour is perfect for those on the hunt for an immersive, safe, and multifaceted experience of Amazigh life in Morocco. Carpet weaving demonstrations, camel rides, traditional songs, and lots of interaction with locals... This tour has much to offer. I'm a very well traveled person, and Abdou takes the belt as the best tour guide I've ever had. He introduced me to his friends, taught me about Islam, and even helped me learn a little Tamazigh (the Amazigh language). If you want to experience Morocco, Abdou is the man to call.

Fun, safe and interesting! - The tour was very enjoyable in a comfortable vehicle with a very safe driver Mohamed and professional guide Abdoul! They went the extra mile with small surprises on the way that other tours wouldn’t do; and a great itinerary. Loved the camel ride, Fes experience and the walk in Todra Gorge . Can’t recommend highly enough.

Best of Morocco experience - It was the best part of our trip to Morocco. The trip was long but it was worth it. Abdul made the trip enjoyable and we stop a few times during the day to see different attractions. Of course, riding the camels at sunset and sunrise was the most unforgettable experience. Thanks Abdul for such a wonderful trip. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morocco. Adbul will not let you down.

Amazing and pleasent way - Unforgettable adventure. The driver was also our guide. He made stops at interesting places. He was telling about them. He stayed at restaurants with local food. He bought us a snack. He contacted our hotel in Fes. The car was air conditioned and had a lot of space. It was clean. I recommend the Sahara - Fes route Mateusz

Thank you for the memorable experience - Mohamad was an excellent tour guide. He is very accommodating of our needs and requests and he is trustworthy. I will definitely book him again when I come back. I will highly recommend to my friends if they ask. He has made my trip to Morocco such a pleasant experience with excellent accommodation choices (beautiful local architecture) and routes for good views and ample options for photography. The long travels in between cities were worth the drive and views especially from the desert to fez. Thank you very much for the experience.
