Private Morocco tour - Our Morocco Sahara Desert Tour from Casablanca, including a Camel Ride to Camp, was an unforgettable adventure! The journey through the desert landscapes was breathtaking, and the camel ride added an authentic touch. The desert camp experience under the stars was magical, with delicious food and warm hospitality. This tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty and serenity of the Sahara. Highly recommended for an authentic Moroccan experience

A brilliant day out.... - A brilliant day out. Driver very helpful and considerate, guide patient with my arthritic progress. Great lunch, stops for taking pictures (and travel-sick child!) plus camel ride. Excellent value. Only downside was that booking at 2am on the day meant that the trip was full and had to be postponed to the next.

The go too tour in Marrakech! - I absolutely loved this trip, Starting off with wearing a turban and clothing for the camel ride was very peaceful and magical. For my first time on a camel I have to say I'm fulfilled, Even the Camel leader offered to take pictures and videos which were brilliant. Then going to the mountains for breakfast was yummy. Best honey I've ever had, I even bought some to take home for the family, it Was a must lol. Then hiking through the mountains for a little walk and through the village was adventurous. I could go on... but I will say this is a must if you're visiting Marrakech!

Great tour at an extremally affordable price! - The tour was fantastic, Mustafa was our guide, very knowledgeable and friendly! It started with excellent communication, before the tour I got in touch with Mustafa to understand the pickup point, and, although my Riad was situated in an area unavailable to cars/vans, they were able to find an alternative pickup point only 2min away and they were perfectly punctual. Throughout the trip, Mustafa continuously provided details about all zones we passed, including movies filmed in these areas Once in the van (a modern vehicle with a/c and enough space for everyone), we started the travel heading south and our first stop was in a sightseeing spot with a view of Azro village, an incredible location, great for taking photos. Although the stop was mostly for taking a quick picture, we never felt rushed for time and you could find in the same location a local souvenir shop if you'd wish to buy something (We were NOT pushed to buy anything at all!) Following this quick stop, we continued south for ~3km until Coopérative féminine aldayn where we were met by the ladies for a mint tea and a small tasting menu (olives, bread, peanut butter & honey, argan oil, etc..). They continued by providing a presentation of the extraction methods of argan oil as well as the products that can be made from it, which were sold on-site (again, no pressure was made for buying, but you had the option if you desired). After this great presentation and interactive stop, we continued south for ~1h until Imlil, where we parked the van and continued by walking to Cascade Imlil through an easy trail. We were then provided some more time for pictures and continued on the walk (~7km) with great views of the valley until we finally reached Riad Atlas 4 Seasons for a lunch with an awesome view. The lunch was composed of an entrance (Morrocan salad), the main dish (Chick Tajin with vegetables), and a dessert (Fruits), accompanied by water. Once the lunch was completed (again, with no rush at all), we went back to the Van and continued to the Agafay Desert where we were met by a local provider of camel rides. They offered some tea before the ride and we were provided dressing for the occasion which helped the mood for the pictures. The ride was great although the view was not the best. It can still be a great experience for a first-timer. Once completed the camel ride the driver and guide took us to another spot for pictures where you could see the dunes and the atlas mountains in the background. (This was also one of the spots used for a Hollywood movie (forgot the name :D) ). This concluded the tour and we were taken back to the pick up location. I 100% recommend this tour and specially Mustafa as the tour guide!

Atlas mountains magical veiw and hiking - Had a great time with our guide today, Rachid Mazik. We hiked up the mountain and then had a delicious Moroccan lunch with couscous, tagine and fruit. Usually I don’t expect much from food on a tour, but the tagine was really delicious! We really enjoyed the camel ride too. Throughout the tour Rachid was very clear and professional and made sure that we were all having a great time. He looked after us very well and was very informative. Would definitely take another tour with him!

Amazing Day trip to atlas Mountains - Truly amazing and unique experience 5 stars given due to our tour guide Hasan. Amazing person and gave a great tour, very factual and informative Transport - on time, Punctual, welcoming, clean bus, good entertainment We hiked up the Atlas Mountains, breathtaking views and was an experience to remember, Hasan also gave us facts along the way. He showed us his village and invited us to his home which was nice and a amazing experience. We were able to learn about Berber life, see a Berber house, see the villages, Moroccan tea was also served. Everyone was kind and welcoming which made it more special. We had a camel ride whcih was daunting at first, however the staff make you feel at ease and are with u the whole way. Traditional attire is also worn which was cool. saw how argan oil is being made, a nice speech from some of the women working there. Overall would highly recommend this trip and Hasan made it even more special for us. His kindness and enthusiasm made the trip enjoyable

Amazing life time to Atlas mountains - It was an amazing lifetime experience. The whole day was packed with amazing activities. The driver and our guide, Redone, were both very friendly. Redone is very knowledgeable and a professional guide. We were very lucky to have him as our tour guide. He made sure everyone was safe-it is a nice feeling to be in such good hands. This trip is worth every penny.
