About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Wander623325715810 contributionsAmazing experienceThe tour was amazing. Our driver/guide Mahmoud was super friendly and explained a lot about the Berbers and we learnt about the gawna music which we like a lot. The desert is an experience you need to do. Riding on the camels is really special and the sky full of stars was amazing. We recommend to take the deluxe version as the bed is the most comfy one in marrocco.Written October 2, 2024
- jefsom0 contributionsRecommended tripWe booked the luxury stay in the desert. Overall great trip, great guide and driver (Moustafa & Mohammed). Very helpful throughout the trip. The only thing that could be better is the information beforehand, including pickup, drop off, itinerary and information on where we would stay (hotel). Luckily this was clarified by our guide as soon as the trip started. Amazing experience despite the long drive. I can definitely recommend.Written April 13, 2024
- rsulloa10 contributionsGood experience, some things we wish to know before...Is a 3 day tour, so it deserves a slightly longer review: Overall the experience was really good, we did a good exploration of Morocco and some interesting sightseeing. We learned from the local guides a lot about some places and the culture, and the desert experience (camel ride + camping) was fantastic. There were some things we wish we had known before: There was a guide who went with us on the van whose role was more on the lines of general information and keeping the group and tour under schedule, there were other local guides in some places who provided more specific information about these places (so expect to tip them, and some tip amount will be pre-arranged by the tour guide). In Ait-Ben-Haddou, there was not a lot of useful information from the locals regarding how much money the Ksar (town) made with the movies that were made there. The local guide at Tinghir was fantastic and did provide a lot of information. Don’t expect a lot from Fossiles d'Erfoud, as there is just a quick coffee/bathroom stop. The tour will take you to some pre-arranged places to buy souvenirs/etc, whose prices are not the best. The guide will attempt to prevent you from buying some things (such as a scarf for the desert) before going to the store where they want you to buy (they will make a case that is needed, which may be true if there is a lot of wind). In terms of lunch, there are three lunch stops where they take us to a restaurant with a single menu option, so expect to spend around 150 MAD for each meal. Water during the three-day tour is not included. Expect a very short time for breakfasts (30 min). Something strange was that the tour guide was privately asking us to provide a review on a different platform than the one we used to book the tour. He was pushing for it in a coffee stop even sharing an internet hotspot to get it done. In summary, we liked the places we visited and the experiences we had. We did not like the pre-arranged tips, the extra tips needed, and the fixed restaurants for lunch.Written April 3, 2024

- sidneyw9760 contributionsAbsolutely incredibleTrip of a lifetime. Amazing guides, amazing drivers, amazing views. 10/10 experience. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating; always felt very safe. I can’t recommend this trip enough!!Written March 30, 2024
- jeffd1870 contributionsNo show turned out ok.They were a no show. Turns out you don’t need a guide. It’s safe, clean. Not too many screaming at you to buy. Take a map, gps phone and you’re good. Just stick to the areas with tourists, you’ll be fine. Found several nice shops, a very nice restaurant with a view. No rush. Late mornings and afternoon are just fineWritten November 24, 2023
- penelopeo5910 contributionsTour Trip with college study abroad groupOur driver, Hakim, was absolutely amazing! He got us through long hours on the road and was always there exactly when we needed him! Things were always running smoothly. This trip could not have been better.Written April 26, 2023
- Eddieandr0 contributionsGreat Sahara experience and the guides, tour operator could be more attentive to booking details.Fantastic experience, guides and the driver were brilliant with good humor, amazing sightseeing and culture. We have missed original date trip, since we did not contact tour operator to confirm our trip. However, we were offered tour on the next day, which was fine since we had that flexibility. We were given "Private tent" instead of booked "Luxury" one initially, after showing printed confirmation to Houssine (the driver) he had to go out of his way to give us what we have booked, he deserves a missive credit for fixing operator's mistake, otherwise, i absolutely recommend this 3-day Sahara Desert tour. Make sure to call operator to confirm your booking at least one day before the trip for smooth experience.Written April 5, 2023
- Wendy_TamTam0 contributionsAwesome 3 day desert tour from Marrakech to MerzougaWe took the three day desert tour. This was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our guide Hakim took very good care of us from start to finish. In each region a new specialized guide awaits who knows everything about that area and the tribes. All guides are super friendly, helpful and professional. The guides speak several languages. The schedule of the day is very clear and if you need help with anything they will help you out. You will be picked up at your accommodation and dropped off at your preferred accommodation after the trip. Hakim really thinks along with you and he even helped us find a Hamam on our last day. I really recommend this organization to my family, friends and colleagues. it felt like we were traveling with family. Thank you Hakim for the good care and the great trip! Regards Wendy & Hanae.Written November 29, 2022

- McEDoo19660 contributionsCan't wait for Morocco Adventure #4!I've done 3 trips with this company and all 3 have been fantastic. 2017 - My first trip was a 3 day 2 night group tour to the desert from Marakech. I was traveling alone and luckily just happened upon this company. They set me up with a wonderful group of other travellers and we had a great time. I especially enjoyed the stay in Todgha Gorge. I had been traveling solo for 4 weeks so it was a nice change to be around people and to share this adventure with others. 2020 - I came back 3 years later with a group of 5 friends. We hired this company to do a customized 12 day tour for us. We visited Marakech, Essaouira, Todra Gorge, Sahara, Fez, Chefchaouen and Tangier. We told them where we wanted to go and they set everything up for us. It could not have been any more perfect. 2021 - My boyfriend and I came back for a 2 week much needed vacation. We didn't want to travel by public transportation due to Covid so we took the rent a car with driver option. Our driver Mohamed was amazing. It was like traveling with a friend. We got to see things tourists don't usually get to see off the beaten path, stop and explore random places and be free to not worry about time at all. Wonderful adventures each time I visit. Can't wait to go back!Written December 5, 2021

We are just came back from a desert tour of 2 days from marrakech to draa valley, The driver Houssaine was excellent and he gave us his full time. He knew too muuch about the history of his country an especially the south east which is his town. Very good service, water in the car all the time, very clean and we had all our time to visit the attractions.
Many thanks to him for making our tour the best.

We just finish our 2 days desert tour from Marrakech to the desert of Zagora, The landscapes are amazing, Houssain showed us all the monuments and landmarks on our way to Zagora. We visited ouarzazate and the old kasbah in ait ben haddou. We slept in a very luxury berber tent in the desert camp which was a great experience.
Houssaine is very informative person, he knows too much about the history of his area and his country. He took us to his family's house in the desert.
As we primised him to write a review before we leave Morocco. We did it.
We recommand this driver to the people who seek safe drive and want to explore the real moroccan culture.

Hi, would it be possible to get back to Marrakech earlier on the second day - I’m hoping to catch a flight at 7pm that day?
