I was with a group of 16...

Will_S, Nov 2025

I was with a group of 16 travelers. The right amount for this tour. Was a great way to meet other fellow travelers. Accommodations are quite nice. This is also a great deal with almost everything included. The company was punctual and organized throughout the experience. Farid was a great driver as well!

Good Trip - highly recommend

Crystal_C, Dec 2024

The tour was really nice. I really enjoy it a lot. The tour guides - Rachid oubn3mar and momo tohto take care of me a lot. I was sick of the Day 1, they always come to me a lot, bring me to the pharmacy and check with me every single day. Also they are remeber the other tourist need to cash out, they find it for them, really helpful, explain good and good vibes. Food was good, I won't forget my christmas trip in Marrakech! if you go in December, don't forget a coat, it quite cold. Thank you so much!

Everything was amazing our driver Omar was great. Wish we could've stopped in a little more non touristy spots for food etc. Very scheduled but I understand it makes things go smoothly. Accommodations were great. Food was good.

Excursion dans le désert

Eloise_E, Sep 2023

L'excursion est pratique pour se rendre dans le desert facilement. Toutefois, c'est un peu l'attrape touriste. On vous emmène dans les restaurants et boutiques soit disant les meilleurs alors qu'on trouve 3x moins cher a côté. Il faut aimer être mélanger a la foule. Nous avons cependant eu un très bon chauffeur Omar avec de bons conseils pour le futur. Encore merci à lui.
