5.00It was an amazing trip for our family, really enjoyed having a white Xmas driving through the snow capped Atlas mountains and riding camels to watch sunset and sunrise on Sahara sand dunes. All other atractions included in this tour are also great to explore. We are overall very satisfied with the tour organisation and quality. Highly recommend this for those who like adventures!

5.00Ali was a great tour guide. He made everyone feel welcome by speaking many languages. He was always smiling. He was always able to answer questions. Overall, the trip was fantastic. The accommodations at the Desert were great. Hot running water, heated, tense, and dining area
Amazing Trip with Abdel!

5.00Perfect tour that gave me a great sense of the country! Would recommend! Really enjoyed my time and loved the driving! Stops were meaningful in between and well paced. Moroccans are very kind and generous people. Abdel was a shining example of that. He is simply so funny and insightful. A super plus is that he knows people everywhere (on top of knowing places everywhere) At each stop we felt connected to people because of him. It made us love the tour and Morocco! He also has a true passion for what he does. Highly recommend.
Amazing trip and driver (Abdel)

5.00We really loved our journey. Our time riding ATVs and Camels was an amazing and surreal highlight. Abdel was our driver and offered excellent advice and drove with elegance. I have never seem someone be so accommodating, kind, and spirited before. Truly a grace during our travels, especially during the hard moments. By the end of the trip I didn’t feel like he was just leading us, I felt like we were friends.
Abdel—An awesome guide!

5.00Amazing trip but what really made it was Abdel. He was truly the best person to take us on this journey. Not only does he have an amazing sense of humor and tranquil presence, he went above and beyond and picked our family up after the tour after bad experience where we were staying and then drove us to the airport. On his night off! Truly one of the best guides I have seen in my many years of global travel.
Memorable experience

5.00Ismail and Mohammed were awesome! Would recommend this tour for anyone going from Marrakech to Fes and want a more interesting way to travel there. The dunes were fun and would recommend doing the ATV in the evening and morning. Food was great and they also stop along the way at all of the popular sights.
Good
