A thousand and one tours

5.00We booked the tour through GetYourGuide, are very satisfied with the organization, and are happy about the execution with our nice and empathetic guide and driver, Jamal. What we saw and experienced cannot be put into words. From desert to oasis, a Berber village to the famous Atlas Film Studios, everything was included. As an experienced guide, Jamal was able to show us very special viewpoints and stops. At some special locations, local guides further enriched the experience tour. Also important: We were the only two participants on the tour and traveled in a very comfortable van. The overnight stay in a beautiful hotel in the Dadestal - where we received a great dinner - was also very pleasant. The tour is definitely worth recommending.
