Good tour, Good Stops and Great Camp

Stacey_P, Jul 2023

Good tour, Good Stops and Great Camp, Guide could've been better. I was dreading the long travel days in this tour but the stops are actually worthwhile and not just roadhouse. This was a good value for money tour, as they all do the same stops but this was a decent price with a luxury camp included. Bus was full and the aircon wasn't great, this could improve overall thoughts for sure especially if the weather was even warmer. The main guide was monotone and boring and hard to understand on the microphone. Yet he would help where needed and organised the local guide where needed. Ait-Ben-Haddou & Todra Gorge were great stops and the local guides were really local and knew alot about the areas. Giving us facts without being boring and answering any questions we had. Local hotel the rooms weren't overly great and my room smelled of sewerage, but the place itself was nice and had a nice big, clean pool to wind down at the end of the day. Also a beautiful, delicious buffet of local food. The camel allocation in the desert seemed a little chaotic, with many groups arriving at once & noone knowing what was going on (and our bus splitting between luxury and standard camps). Could've been organized a little better but the experience itself was great to be on a camel in the desert. The camels were well behaved. Camels kind of just stopped on a dune though and there was no info about the camp or dinner or sunset ect we just got off and figured it out. Also dont expect massive Sahara dunes as in every direction you can still see the towns. You dont get too far into the desert, but you get the idea. Luxury camp was beautiful and absolutely worth the extra few dollars to have your own toilet and shower after a long day. Loved the camp. So clean and comfortable for in the middle of the desert and the food was exceptional. A few tagines to share with the table. They also had some music and dancing for those interested. The last day we had a different guide and while he couldnt interact much he was amazing! Stopping for us to try fresh local fruit and buying bread to feed the nomad dogs. It was a long driving day but he made it super fun and interesting. Even stopping for photos of baby donkeys.

Thank you for your feedback and for joining us on the tour. We're glad to hear that you found the stops worthwhile and enjoyed the luxury camp included in the package. We appreciate your comments about the bus conditions and the main guide. We will take note of these points to make improvements for future tours. We're pleased that you enjoyed the Ait-Ben-Haddou and Todra Gorge stops, and that the local guides provided informative and engaging experiences. We apologize for any inconvenience you encountered at the camel allocation and for the lack of information about the camp and dinner. We will work on better organization and communication in those aspects. Regarding the desert landscape, we understand that the dunes may not have met your expectations, but we're glad you still got a sense of the desert experience. We're delighted that you found the luxury camp beautiful and worth the extra cost. It's great to hear that the amenities, cleanliness, and food exceeded your expectations. The additional music and dancing added to the cultural ambiance. Lastly, we're glad you had a positive experience with the different guide on the last day. We strive to make the long driving days enjoyable and memorable. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.
