A lovely 3 day private tour across Morocco (Fez-Merzouga-Marrakech) - We had an amazing time during our 3day private tour Fez-Merzouga-Marrakech. With just the two of us we were provided a really spacious car and Said was an amazing driver and companion. He took us to all the spots along the way. On addition, we also took a detour to show us one of the viewspots we had requested for…such a gem!!
We had a great time in the Sahara desert and were pleasantly surprised to see our luxury camp with all the available amenities.
The Todhra gorge, kasbahs and Ait Benhaddou is definitely a sight to behold!!
A must do experience and thanks Said for the lovely time 🙂

This was one hell of an... - This was one hell of an experience! You can’t go to Morocco and not go to the Sahara! We crossed the Atlas Mountains and went into Sahara on a camel! It was cool and our guides were so nice and knowledgeable! They go out of their way to give you the best experience! We will go back!

Best Vacation Ever - I HAD A FANTASTIC TIME! The luxury camp was definitely worth the extra money. The separate campsite and hotel room were fabulous and excellent quality. Our driver, Mahmoud, was literal legend. He wanted to show us nice spots along our drive, showed us his music, and also gave us some flexibility to our schedule. If you want to have a fabulous time in Morocco, book this tour and request Mahmoud!!

Unbelievable Experience for Group of Friends - Thank you Mahmoud! - My 7 friends and I took the 3 day Luxury Desert Group Budget Tour and we had the best time! We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend it. The service, accommodations, food, cultural sites, and activities were all incredible and more than worth the price we paid. Everything was well organized for us and it was just the right amount of time to see beautiful landscapes, cultural sights, and the dunes of Merzouga—truly a perfect itinerary from start to finish.
Our driver/ tour guide Mahmoud was the absolute BEST—please request him for your tour!!! He was so kind, friendly, informative, and made our experience 100x better. He took the time to thoroughly explain all of the sites that we stopped at, immersed us into the local culture, played arabic/berber music for us, and he made sure we were comfortable and having a great time the entirety of our trip!
The scenic drive with views of the Atlas Mountains, the stops at Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou Village, a UNESCO world heritage site (which was straight out of a movie), the Rose Valley and Berber villages—were some of the highlights of our trip even before were got to the Dunes of Merzouga Desert.
Our stay in the luxury tents in the Desert was comfortable and clean. It was set up so nicely and our night in the desert was truly unforgettable. We got to ride camels into the desert at sunset then got to dance and sing around the fire at night. We woke up for sunrise and it was truly unreal to see. Overall, my friends and I had such an amazing experience and would highly highly recommend this tour!!

Great value for the price, great guide - A great value for the price. Mahmoud our driver was very kind, personable, and made tons of extra stops along the way for us that we weren’t expecting, like the Argan oil cooperative, Rose Water cooperative, stopping at different viewpoints, buying dates from the best vendors, etc. He gave us good advice to not get scammed and tons of local recommendations.
The highlight of the trip was the sunset in the sand dunes, where you ride camels into the camp during sunset (and we also went sand boarding). The camp was the nicest glamping tent I’ve stayed in, and the buffet (and food both nights) was really delicious. Star gazing is incredible.
My only complaint would be don’t expect great food at the lunch stops, they were very touristy and the food was mediocre and a bit expensive (110-140 dirhams). It’s where all the tour groups go so not much to do about it, but it was a bit of a bummer to have 3 really mediocre lunches in a country with such good food!

Marvelous - Mahmoud was the best Tour Guide!! Along the way we had many scenic rest stops and interesting things to see planned in. Everything about the tour was well organized and enjoyable. Good mix of organized activity and time to explore on your own. The other group was a big group of students who wanted to party at night, which was a fun time for us. Doesn’t she talk to her phone? Food was very good at the campsite and Riad. Had a really good time:) thanks Mahmoud!
