Mustafa the best guide in Morocco!! - The best thing about the trip was our guide, Mustafa. Amazing where he took us to eat, the explanations, the coexistence. We were 10 friends and he was one more. I think the trip without Mustafa would not be the same!! 100% recommended experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended - Our 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour with Mouhou Tours was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized — comfortable transport, great timing, and the most welcoming guide. The camel ride at sunset, the peaceful desert camp under the stars, and the warmth of the Berber hospitality were beyond amazing. Each stop — the Ziz Valley, Todra Gorge, and Dades Valley — showed a new side of Morocco’s beauty. The desert camp was clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Our guide shared so much local culture and made the journey fun and personal. Highly recommend Mouhou Tours for anyone wanting a real Moroccan adventure — professional, friendly, and truly memorable!

Incredible trip! - The trip was great from start to finish. Could not have wished for a better guide than Mustapha. We had Spanish, English and German speakers in the group and he went out of his way to accommodate everyone. The various stops on route to Merzouga were so well planned ensuring we saw a lot and it broke up the journey nicely. Mustapha was so knowledgable and made every effort to ensure we had a truly memorable trip. The night in the desert was unforgettable and we wouldn’t hesitate for to recommend.

Unforgettable - Unforgettable experience with our guide Mustafa, told us about its culture and history, took us to lunch with a Moroccan family, ate typical dishes, did the route on quad bikes and camels and it was amazing!! The two nights were spent in very comfortable, clean rooms with everything you need. We will always remember that night in the desert!! All the staff we dealt with were very friendly and attentive to us. How lucky we were to meet Mustafa

Unique and excellent experience - We were a tour of 10 Spanish friends in which we were provided with all the needs that were arising by having a minibus just for us, and in which everything went perfectly, especially thanks to our great guide Mustafa, who adapted to us to the thousand wonders and transmitting all his knowledge about Morocco, both taking us to eat in typical places, and resolving any questions that arose along the way. Undoubtedly an unrepeatable experience, Mustafa president!!

The best trip of our lives - We did not think that booking this tour guide, would certainly mark the best experience of our lives. Thank you all, Jamal in the first place who was an exceptional guide and the little care to make this trip become a waking dream. Thanks to the organizers, the itinerary was perfect, away from tourists, beautiful and exceptional landscapes that you can see only once in your life (of one, oasis, palm grove etc...). Perfect hotel and restaurant choices, incredible views, typical decor and just exquisite dishes. I thank all the members of the hotels, restaurants and those who welcomed us in their workshops, your hospitality has marked us very much. I don’t have enough words to explain how magical it was, to see the Milky Way in the desert, to see the shooting stars, to listen to music stifle... I look forward to coming back, and especially recommend it to my loved ones. Their value for money is more than excellent!!! Thank youiiii Jamal again, really we loved having you as a guide, we learned so much and had eyes amazed by the beauty of Morocco.

MouHouTour 5 days with guide Mohammed - We did the 5-days tour from Marrakech to Merzuga/desert/Ouarzazate with our guide Mohammed. He was amazing, knew everything about all the beautiful places we visited. The highlights were the camel ride and the Dades Valley. The Atlas Studios were also great fun. We hope to have the opportunity to do another tour with MouHou and Mohammed in other regions of Morocco in the years to come! We would 100% recommend the tour and especially Mohammed. Even his music playlist was amazing 😄 Thanks again MouHou & Mo ❤️

An unforgettable experience - Tour with exceptional Price quality ratio. Please note that there are several tours with different prices, depending on the services you pay more or less. We took a basic package and only paid a bonus for the transfer to the jaimas on quad bikes. Everything was great and we had a great time.The only thing we didn't like is the limitation when choosing lunch, because even though it wasn't included in the package, they didn't give you options to choose from, but they took you directly to a concerted place for tourists, which were not bad, but very basic and simple. We would have liked more to be able to eat in more local places with more homemade food and more variety. Otherwise, it was a fantastic tour, the guide was very friendly and attentive, it is thankful not to have to worry about anything and that everything was tied up, from pick up to return, without worries. Dreamscapes. And even though it is many hours by car, it was more than worth the experience.

3 day Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakesh - Overall nice experience, but the extra cost for the private tour is not worth the money. In contrary to what we learned from reviews, the tour was exactly the same as the bigger group tours. The driver did take us to the same stops to shop stuff and to the same overpriced mediocre lunch spots - there was no advantage of the private tour other than more comfort on the road. Our driver was actually not amused that we did not buy stuff at the "berber shop" and other stops and obviously disliked our decision to go to the movie museum. Driver was a nice guy, but did not speak English well enough to actually explain stuff or hold a conversation. Furthermore, we did not spend the night in the desert at the mouhou camp but one of the other camps. Mouhou camp was one of the reasons we opted for the tour because it's a little bit further in the desert. That was still okay, as our Camp was indeed "similar". More annoying, however, was the fact that, despite booking Option 2 regarding accomodations (middle class) we spend the second night in precisely the hotel which was listed as example for the (cheaper) Option 1. Tour itself is a super touristic, but overall nice experience. The night in the Desert is nice and the landscapes are fantastic. However, keep in mind that the expensive private tour provides for no extra benefit compared to the bigger group tours in vans or busses besides travelling more comfortable and only with your own group.
