The best tour guide! - I had the most incredible 3 days in Morocco! The tour was stock standard as the other advertised tours on this app but what made this one great was our beautiful guide Chaima and driver Karim! Chaima was so friendly and made each and every moment so enjoyable, she even gave me henna and wrote my name in Arabic! Karim our driver was safe and efficient and also doubled as an amazing musician. Our group was a predominantly older group but was incredibly enjoyable! Thank you Chaima and Karim I cannot wait to return to Morocco!

Unforgettable Sahara Desert Experience! - We had the most incredible time on our small tour to the Sahara Desert. From start to finish, everything was exactly as described, and even exceeded our expectations! Our driver Youssef was fantastic, ensuring we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and our guide Chaimae (that I recommend!! ) - a friendly and comforting woman made the entire experience even more special with her insights and stories. We had a blast riding quad bikes across the dunes, and the camel ride at sunset was nothing short of magical. Camping under the stars in the desert was an experience we will never forget – peaceful, serene, and beautiful.

Excursion desert Merzouga - We had a wonderful stay with our Guide Ibrahim. It was really complete and well organized, both day and night. Cultural breaks and to buy water are frequent and make the journey pass fairly quickly. It is a very good experience that is highly recommended if you want to learn more about Berber and Moroccan culture. Many thanks to our guides and especially to our driver Ibrahim.

Marrakech fes - it was a great experience to travel along Morocco and stop by to visit the famous city of Aït Benhaddou, and some other sightseeing spots with Mt. Atlas view. The accommodation was quite fair for both days and the transportation was quite comfortable. The only downside was the time we actually spent in the desert. We only had a bit more than an hour on the sunset's first day and the sunrise the next day. I wish we could have a chance to grab a sandwich/bottle of water, arrive earlier in the desert, and spend a few more hours there before sunset.

Marrakech fes - This trip was just perfect! Hassan was an excellent driver and helped us enormously with good and reliable guides for visiting the villages. She is a very nice person and always ready to help us with anything we needed. I appreciate Hassan and all your efforts to make our trip unforgettable. I will keep this experience forever in my heart. I highly recommend it!

Unforgettable experience - The camel ride in the dunes of Merzouga was a magical experience. Lahcen's welcome on the Kasbah Safari was warm. The visit of Ait Ben Adou was worth a visit. Lunch restaurants were hearty and good. Very nice Samir Guide in Todhra Gorge. Thanks to Youssef for his driving along the way.

Nice trip, a bit rushed - I liked the tour. It took us to beautiful places where we got to learn more about the rich history and culture of Morocco. Though I felt rushed through the whole experience. I wish we had more time to actually enjoy the desert. I wish we had some free time to actually explore the beautiful and historic village ait ben haddou , like walk the streets and look at some shops.. the 1 hour tour was rushed and felt like I was running through the city. Also wish there was more time to actually enjoy being in the desert after a long drive. We got to merzouga, rode the camels, did some sandboarding, arrived at camp, ate dinner, a show and then you had to go to bed in order to start your journey back at 5:30 AM. I would’ve loved to take some rest, take a walk in the desert, have time to enjoy the clear sky with all the stars.

Okay - The tour was well planned and was flexible to group needs. However in the morning of overnight desert camp, we were stranded fighting for camels to take us back to where the mini bus was waiting for us. When we finally got camels we didn't have a guide to guide the camels from the desert camp, we just went by ourselves and without a guide we couldn't stop for sunrise viewing and taking photos like other groups did and it was part of the itinerary but we didn't get to experience it. This was sad for us and didn't appreciate missing out on a life time opportunity.
