Zagora Desert tour - We loved the experience, Our guide Yousef was very friendly and humble, we've taken lovely pictures, we had an amazing meal with the tastiest food (dinner and breakfast) that we've tried in the country, we took pictures at the sunrise and at the sunset. We danced and sang with the guide around a fire at night. They made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommended

Good value for money - I recommend for people who want to experience desert life, the accommodations were basic but comfortable enough, we liked the evening atmosphere in the middle of the desert.

Disappointment - They were more than half an hour late to pick us up and we arrived at night in the jaimas. On top of that, the plan said that there were several stops and we only came down in a town to see it very quickly because they were caught in time and the rest were showing us from the van.

Awful. - 65 euros excursion. You don't ask for anything special for that price. But I do clean. Toilet without paper, no water in the cistern. You can imagine what was there. We slept among horribly dirty blankets. What they gave us couldn't be called dinner or breakfast. They'll say no one in the group has said anything. Not everyone wants to waste time on this. I advise you to pay a little more, but find something clean. At least decent. They will tell you that for 65 euros you can not ask for more. Please, hygiene does. The driver talked on the phone for almost the entire trip. A tremendous insecurity. Nefarious excursion.
