Amazing tour with breath-taking landscapes and few tourists - a hidden gem - The most incredible 3 days on the road through morocco. We decided to spend a bit extra to have a private driver so we could stop where we liked and have a more personal experience. Drisse our guide and driver was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable about everything (not just morocco but the whole world) and knew all the sights we drove past. This trip involved a lot of driving and Drisse always did so in a cheerful way. The landscape changed so much along the trip, we said it was like going from Utah to Nevada to Arizona, but with beautiful villages and less tourists too. This is a hidden gem of North Africa and you HAVE to do this trip, you will not regret it. There’s so much to see and do, if you enjoy road trips, this is the tour for you! We had the best time, thank you Drisse for an unforgettable trip.

Marakech to Fes through Merzouga and everything in between - When we came to Morocco, we did some research about the language, food and culture about this country. Morocco also put its name in the worked map after the World cup heroics! However, this trip was a great way to understand this beautiful country intimately. We started the trip at Marrakech. Our trip was supposed to start at 8 am but our Touda manager was able to negotiate with our guide to start at 8:30 so that we can have breakfast. We met our driver cum guide Khaled at the Medina at 8:30. The highlight of our trip was to have khaled as our companion. We learned a lot about the country and the culture, the good and the bad in addition to the sites of interest. On the first day we went to Dades valley and stayed at the beautiful Babylon hotel for the night. We drove through small villages on the lower Atlas mountain region and Ouarzazate. On the second day we left early for the Desert. The camel ride through the sand to the camp site was awesome, we stayed at the camp where the everything was perfect. The sunset and sunrise in the Sahara was awesome! The next morning, we got a bit delayed because the ride from the camp (4 wheel drive. You can opt for camel ride back as well but we decided for a shorter trip). Khaled was waiting for us at the Riad and we started our journey to Fes around 9 am. It was a long trip and we drove through changing Moroccan landscapes of desert, mountains, valleys before we reached Fes in the evening. We would recommend Khaled and this trip to everyone reading.

Marakesh to Fes through Merzouga - When we cane to Morocco, we did some research about the language, food and culture about this country. Morocco also put its name in the worked map after the World cup heroics! However, this trip was a great way to understand this beautiful country intimately. We started the trip at Marrakech. Our trip was supposed to start at 8 but our Touda manager was able to negotiate with out guide to start at 8:30 so that we can have breakfast. We met our driver cum guide Khaled at the Medina at 8:30. A highlight of our trip was to have khaled as our companion. We learned a lot about the country and the culture, the good and the bad in addition to visitors the sites of interest. On the first day, Khaled drove us through the south central Morocco through small villages in the lower Atlas Mountains before reaching Dades valley. On the second day we went to the Merzouga desert and camped out in a cold but clear and starry night in a camp. The camel ride to the camp, watching sunset and sunrise in the sahara desert were definable the highlight of the entire trip! On the last day Khaled drove us through the changing landscape of Morocco from Merzouga to Fes. The color and the texture of the land changed as we drove through the deserts, cold and occasionally snowy mountains and fertile green lands before finally reaching Fes. Throughout the trip Khaled answered all our questions patiently and, told us about the lands we were visiting. I would highly recommend Khaled and this trip to everyone!

Energizing 3 days trip! - We booked the 3 day private tour after staying some days in Marrakech. As soon as we got into the car, the vibe was pleasant and with respect. You can clearly see driver Khalid has a lot of experience in his job of guiding people into the mountains and to the Sahara desert. Always clear answers on a lot of questions we asked :).
Also, he has a lot of people knowledge and showed us the most beautifull places and spots. No problem to make an extra little stop for some photo shooting.
What I really appreciated was the fact that we did not only got to see the hotspots, but Khalid also showed us the real life of the Berber people. Amazing trip that I would very much recommend to anyone!

Unbeatable - We went on a 3-day-tour from marrakeche to Todra gorge, where we stopped the 1st night and had enough time for the via ferrata next day. Then in to merzouga, where we were taken to a desert camp - here food and exzellent accomodation was included.
Khalid was our guide and he is a fantastic one. Without him the Tour would have been only half this good. Even if we had organised the climbing for instance ourselfs Khalid always made sure, we were good taken care of. In this short time Khalid certainly became a friend which made our long journey thoroughly fantastic.
