Very nice tour and nice staff! - This is a great tour that let's you appreciate the natural beauty of Morocco. The guide Ibrahim was very nice and told us a lot of curiosities about Moroccan culture.
Funny fact: during the desert trip I lost my phone in the desert while watching at the stars 😂. Thanks to Ibrahim and moustapha that could find the phone after some days of searching in the desert near the camp!

To do once in your life. - It was absolutely incredible! A huge distance to drive but 100% worth doing at least once in your life. The hotel for the first night is super clean and comfortable. The camel ride is really pleasant, you have to expect the camel's twists and turns but it's not that bad.
Back at the camp in the desert, the atmosphere is magical and it is very comfortable.
Ibrahim and Mohammed were very kind guides/drivers and took care of us all the way. I recommend 100%

Great experience - I really recommend this tour!It is a great way to explore Moroccan landscapes that are difficult to reach on your own and get an idea of the Moroccan culture. We visited amazing landscapes, Unesco heritage sites with mudhouses and natural landscapes like Todra Gorge and Merzouga desert where we stayed overnight and it was a trully unique experience. Our driver and guide Abdoo was great, very kind and helpful and our local guides too. Overall, an amazing experience!

Oasis, camel ride, and Moroccan culture - I really recommend this tour! I especially loved day 2, when we visited the Gorge du Toudra, the Berber village, a refreshing oasis, and then went for a camel ride in the Sahara, where we spent the night. Our guide and driver Abdoo was great and organised a wonderful experience! Thank you 🙏🏻

Amazing experience - I went on this tour with five other friends and I had a very good experience. Abdo, our amazing driver, drove us through different sightseeing spots. The night in the desert was beautiful, a once in a lifetime experience. I suggest renting a quad on the way back if you wanna have an adrenaline boost. The visit to the oasis and the gorges was also breathtaking.

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience, which met all our expectations. Our driver Fathallah was an excellent guide, always kind and available, as were the two local guides. The only small flaw is that in some places the food is of low quality, probably due to the fact that it is cooked in large quantities. But despite this, we would absolutely do this experience again!

Excellent - The driver Mohamed and the guide Ibrahim were very friendly, I would definitely repeat with them again, they made us feel very comfortable and safe. As for the experience, it is very cool, two days going to the desert is a bit long, but you stop to see towns, the best without a doubt the night of the desert and see the sunrise on a quat, much more recommended than on a camel (it is somewhat uncomfortable). On the excursion to Tinghir on the second day we loved Rashid, a very pleasant guide who explains everything in detail, we would also repeat with him again!
The issue of group meals is not very comfortable, we would have preferred individual dishes, as for the accommodations for 10, and as for the drinks not included in the meals that the excursion includes, it did not seem very good to us, Well, even though it includes dinner, if you want to drink something during dinner you have to pay, water, Coca-Cola... Minimum €2 (it's not cheap), as for the breakfasts, great!
It has been a great experience and we will repeat it again! We hope that Mohamed and Ibrahim will play us again, without a doubt they have been the best of this experience, they welcome you as if we were family, at all times you are attended to and cared for by them, thank you for everything guys!
