Top experience I highly recommend - The excursion with them was an unforgettable experience. We spent 1 night at the bivoique and 1 in a clean, well-organized hotel. The drivers were helpful and flexible to our needs on time. Looking forward to returning to Marakech

Zagora desert excursion - We made the excursion to the Zagora desert in mid-February, with summer temperatures. Our guide Mohamed and driver Ismael were very friendly and explained all our doubts at all times. The first day he came to pick us up closest to our accommodation and then we left for the desert, a trip of about 6 hours but it was enjoyable since we made stops from time to time. We visited a town that belongs to the UNESCO heritage, where we also ate. Around 5 in the afternoon we arrived at an area where we took the camels and from where they took us to the camp in the desert. The guys at the camp were very friendly and very respectful, offering us a welcome tea and telling us about their lives. A very interesting cultural exchange. This excursion is highly recommended if you want to see the interior of Morocco, its towns, its culture and of course the desert 🐪

Excellent! - I loved the experience. We were a group of six friends. The driver, Esmail Bazi, was really kind and patient with us and took care of us. So we feel very comfortable on the journey. The food they prepared in the desert is good, but they didn't give water so it is better to bring bottles. Otherwise all great. I totally recommend it! 😊
