An extraordinary experience

5.00We booked a 3day tour from Fez to Marrakech, at all stages the team specially Mohammed were super nice and responsive and they took their time to explain and answer all our questions. Our driver/guide was this amazing guy “Hamid” which we had a lot of fun with. He was very organized, his English communication was excellent and always helpful. It was an extraordinary experience, the night we spent at Erg Chebbi was incredible and highly recommended though a bit cold but bearable. I would highly recommend this company and specially Hamid as the guide of this trip. Thank you.
Great experience

5.00The whole trip was a super good experience. Especially the part in the desert was amazing - the camp was absolutely beautiful, way more luxurious than expected and all the people were super super friendly and welcoming, and the food was super good. We’ve been there over Christmas and that was definitely a night to remember. The only thing we’re not so sure about are the camels, some of them didn’t seem to be very well treated… In general, the organization worked out well and everything was on point. The landscapes we drove through are absolutely stunning, pretty much all along the long hours in the car. The stops on the way were nice, but more of a break and photo stop than anything else. As expected, the not included lunch breaks were spent at pretty overpriced tourist traps - the first one was still quite good, the second one was more of a scam to be honest, but there was also nothing else around. The second evening in the rose valley hotel was also nice, the town is in a crazy landscape and there’s no program so you can just roam around on your own. The food in the hotel was okay. Our driver Said was super nice and friendly, and had a really safe and comfortable way of driving. We got along with him really well and he really tried his best to always be helpful and informative - the language barrier was quite big though, so the communication for deeper conversations or questions about the area or culture was often not so easy/successful. Overall, we were pretty blown away by the experience in the desert and we enjoyed the whole trip a lot! Thanks to everyone involved!
Merzouga Desert Night, Rocked by Camels

4.00On the way from Fez to Merzouga, the very process of the landscape gradually changing from city to desert was impressive. The experience of riding a camel through the dunes at dusk was extraordinary, and I couldn't help but be amazed at the way the sand changed color every moment. The desert camp was such a haunting experience that you could forget the exhaustion of the journey, as you could spend a quiet night stargazing across the sky.
Would recommend!

5.00There were some hiccups with my booking, but Mohammed made up for everything. He literally knows every corner of Morocco, so I got to learn so much from him! You’ll be in safe hands if Mohammed is your guide. Not forgetting—he’s a great driver too. The tour was well-paced with ample breaks in between. The drive was long, but rest assured, it will be scenic.
