5.00This was my first time visiting Morocco and I knew I wanted to do guided tour. This is a great option for people who want to do a guided tour. The accomodations were comfortable and all the people were very friendly. Haadi was our tour guide and he was amazing. I was travelling with my parents, it was their first time doing something like this and Haadi made sure they were comfortable and was very accommodating to their needs. It made the experience much more enjoyable. He makes an effort to get to know the travellers and really connects with everyone. Would recommend this to anyone that wants to explore a few breathtaking sites during their trip to Morocco.
Had a fabulous time...

5.00Had a fabulous time traveling. Our Driver Omar was Fantastic. He was so kind to my kids. The camel ride was good, the tent was great so happy we did the luxury tent with AC. Most of the people on the trip were in the standard tents and they didn’t sleep it was so hot. The drive is extremely long but there is lots of stops. Food was ok, the second day lunch spot was the best with buffet options. If I ever happened to get the opportunity to do this tour I would do the ATVs into the desert instead of the camels.
Excellent tour

5.00Omar was a great and helpful guide for the journey. It was wonderful seeing different parts of the country in a short time. The kids loved the ATV rides and the camels were an adventure! The food is just OK but the experience overall is excellent.
Wonderful experience!
