Amazing, highly recommended - Our tour experience was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized, the landscapes were breathtaking, and we truly got to experience the authentic essence of Morocco in a very special way. We especially want to mention Mohamed, who was excellent throughout the entire trip. He was always kind, attentive, professional, and willing to help with anything we needed. He made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed at all times, while also sharing so much knowledge about the culture and the places we visited. We would definitely recommend this tour, and if you have the chance to do it with Mohamed, even better. He truly made the experience unforgettable

Wonderful experiences with our guide, Mr.Hamid. - Mr.Hamid is a very professional guide. He speaks English very fluently and told us a lot of interesting history about Morocco history, culture and tradition of minorities. In addition, he took us to some local restaurants and let us enjoy real Morocco dishes.

GREAT TOUR and the ABSOLUTE BEST DRIVER+ = Mohammed - 3-Days Desert Tour From Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga DESERT SMILES TOUR DRIVER: Mohammed - the BEST! APRIL 2026 Our three-day trip from Fes to Marrakech was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! MOHAMMED was our driver+ and so much more! He is a friend, and knew so much and joked with everyone. HE spoke great english. His stories about his mom and brother were funny and informative. We had a international group of travellers. He made all of us laugh and comfortable and feel at home! AND we learned so much - Mohammed knew so much and plesantly answered our barrage of questions and is the BEST DRIVER+ ever! This was one of the highlights of our time in Morocco, and we cannot recommend it enough, especially if you are lucky enough to have Mohammed as your driver. During our trip one of our group lost his cellphone and was so upset. Mohammed contacted his "Tour Guide/Driver" network and they found the phone and coordinated its return and police reports with over 20 other Tour groups. Miracously, Mohammed arranged for the found cellphone to be returned to its owner the very next day!!! A TOTAL MIRACLE! One of our parties got sick during the trip, and Mohammed went out of his way to make her comfortable and ensure her safety. In Merrakech Mohhamed suggested places to eat (including a wonderful restaurant/club) and offered advise on the snake charmers/monkey wranglers and also unsafe areas to avoid and how to stay stay safe. The Trip We left the greenery of Fes, passed through the "Little Switzerland" of Ifrane, and watched the scenery shift into the dramatic palm groves of the Ziz Valley before reaching the dunes of Merzouga.In the Atlas Mountains we saw monkeys. Mohammed immediatelly informed us he had purchased food out of his own pocket to give to the monkeys and do NOT interact with the people around the monkeys who were demanding up to 20 Euros for peanuts to feed to the monkeys! In the desert we took domedaries (single hump camels) out to the dunes to watch the sunset and sand surfed. In the morning, waking up in the Sahara was beautiful. We explored the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley, where the rock formations were spectactular. Then on to Ouarzazate was made and the stunning Ait Ben Haddou before crossing the High Atlas Mountains into Marrakech. We stopped at Atlas Studios, an Argon Oil factory and also a RoseWater factory - WITH 0 pressure to buy anything. Meals were great also. In Fez, we arranged an easy meetup to start the tour at an agreed upon location we chose. Upon arrival to Merrakech, Mohammed dropped us off and escorted us thru the gate for the end of the tour and to our Ryad (as it so easy to get lost in the Medinas and also hard to find your location sometimes). What truly made this trip special was Mohammed. From the moment he picked us up in Fes, he felt less like a driver and more like a knowledgeable friend. HE is our friend and we wish him all the best to the best Driver ever ( and we have been on alot of tours but seldom review them). He helped make a easy group atmosphere and made everyone comfortable. The roads through the Atlas Mountains can be winding and intense, but Mohammed was a true professional. We felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. He didn’t just drive, he shared stories about Berber culture, pointed out hidden gems we would have missed, helped us understand Morooca people and Islam and knew exactly where the best photo stops were (including posing in them when asked or just taking our photos for us). Mohammed went above and beyond to accommodate our pace, whether we wanted an extra coffee break or a bit more time to explore a village. His warm personality and sense of humor made the long stretches in the car fly by. PROS: Mohammed CONS: alot of car time but minimized by Mohammed. SUGGESTIONS: Desert tour guide for Camels and Tent stay spoke limited english and it would have been nice to have more info about camels etc... Thanx Mohammed Kevin fron NY, USA

Great tour and even better tour guide! - Eimad was amazing! We got to know him throughout our 3 day tour and he was super helpful, friendly, and personable. Always made sure we were taken care of and went above and beyond for our group. I cannot recommend Eimad enough! The tour itself was a dream. From the camel ride to atv for sunrise (charges extra), this was an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip in Morocco this is definitely one of them. Food was good at every stop, and of course our tour guide Eimad made it better!

Memorable experience! Highly recommended! - We had an amazing 3-day tour from Fez to Marrakech through the Merzouga desert. Everything was very well organized, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The stay in the desert was especially memorable—comfortable private tents with a private bathroom, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The hotel on the second night was also very good and provided a nice place to relax after the journey. All the drivers, as well as the staff at the desert camp and the hotel, were extremely friendly and helpful. They really contributed to making this experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Don't book this! - Are all reviews written under pressure as with us?! Incomprehensible for so much money. A so-called guide you were not allowed to ask questions to or he snubbed them, no communication, you remained in the dark, unfriendly driver continuously until you have to fill out a positive review during the drive under pressure, a 2 star hotel instead of a 3 star hotel as promised, a hotel room with the bed under the hair, luxury tent with more than 30 flies and other animals. During the ride our other 4 travel companions also expressed their surprise and displeasure, especially after the review under pressure. We never stare blindly at so-called positive reviews again. Wasted money, never this again!
