5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great experience! My driver from the Merzouga desert to Marrakech was truly exceptional: very professional, kind and always helpful. He made the trip pleasant and safe, stopping at the viewpoints and explaining many curiosities about Morocco. A reliable and nice person, which I fully recommend to anyone who wants to live an authentic and stress-free experience. Thank you very much for your availability and professionalism to Mohcine🙌
Great trip with our excellent driver Zakaria.

5.00Zakaria was really great with us and offered us an unforgettable trip! He adapted to our rhythm, our humor, our mood and our demands. We were listened to patiently and didn’t feel the time pass, even though we travelled for two days. Thanks to him!
The great outdoors of Morocco

5.00Very nice discovery of Morocco for a first approach. The journey from Fez to Merzouga (and back) gives a fairly broad view of the country. Zaki, our driver, loves people. He explains his country very nicely. He has a very good contact with his customers. It takes everyone from departure to arrival, as close as possible to the hotel. Thank you, Zaki.
Thank you very much marrakech

5.00This was hands down the coolest experience of my life. I would 100% recommend this to anyone interested in visiting the desert without sacrificing their travel time in Marrakech, like you might with the three day Sahara trip. Our driver Zaki was great. Super nice, professional, and accommodating. Also, I definitely recommend adding the quad tours to your package. It was entirely worth the additional charge. Overall, we had a fantastic experience.
Bucket List Trip!

5.00It was my first time in Morocco and my first visit to the desert. I traveled alone with a friend and we made the most of the experience. We were lucky to have Zaki as our driver and the experience was fantastic. Zaki was super friendly, helpful and caring. From the moment we were still in Lisbon and called us to give all the necessary information until the end of the trip. We had all the attention to get to Merzouga in time to see the sunset, but without losing all the points of interest during the long journey to the desert. Meeting Zaki was great for getting to know Morocco and Moroccan culture, as he kindly answered all my questions and also helped me with my English. Thank you, Zaki, without you this adventure would not have been so enriching.
A joyous and relaxing journey

5.00Throughout the trip, our driver, Zaki, was warm, attentive and responsible. Not only is he a skilled driver, he also often takes the initiative to remind us of all sorts of things to be aware of, such as how much money is a reasonable price when buying a silk scarf, to help us avoid being pitted. He was also very knowledgeable about the local scene and often shared interesting insights and stories with us, making the whole trip particularly relaxing and enjoyable, with lots of laughter. It was really lucky to meet such a great driver and guide!
100% recommended

5.00Zaki was a brilliant driver and guide. He helped us with everything and allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest. He answered all our questions respectfully and he was very attentive. He ensured we could see the sunset and sunrise at the desert which definitely was an extraordinary experience. Finally, he was very helpful with leaving us close to our hotel, which we really appreciated.
