  We had a great trip through the desert. Our trip ran from Fes to Marrakech over three days, with a night in the desert camp and a night in Ourrzazate. The first day was with our group of three and two others, with your guide Ibrahim. Unfortunately our van broke down, which was nobody’s fault, and the tour company quickly found someone else to pick us up. We then did a ride on camels and stayed in the camp. The next two days was only the three of us with our guide Mohamed Buzga. It was essentially a private tour from then on, we were very lucky! I think going from Fes to Marrakech is less common than Marrakech to Fes, but I would recommend going this way! Mohamed was great, tailored our trip to what we wanted and was a great driver.

  A memorable 3 day adventure thru the heart of Morocco. Sunset camel ride in the Sahara followed by sunrise over the dunes was a highlight of the trip. Our driver/ guide, Zaki, was with us all 3 days and was fluent in English with highlights of the scenery along the way, and restaurant stops that weren’t over run by tourists. The only downside was the 2 nd night hotel; a 2 star level, not up to ones expectations for a “VIP luxury tour”

• very nice places to visit, nice tour drivers - need improvement in guiding skills, buses need better organized

  in the desert and the second part from the desert to Marrakesh (Aït Benhaddou, Atlas Studio, the gorge). The first part (monkey place, the "swiss city" or something) could be cut short so we could get to the desert early. Our bus only got the the desert very late in the afternoon around 6:30PM The buses are not very well organized. I came to the desert on one bus and leaving the desert on another bus. I had to ride on top of the truck from the desert to the bus. the tour guides are very nice but their knowledge and English could be improved. again the first half could be cut short, going straight to the desert only stop for washroom.

• Interesting, diverse and wide coverage - Smooth logistics

  Solid trip from Fes to Marrakesh through Sahara! Ismael was our driver and Mustapha was the guide. The pair were very friendly and easy going and stayed with us throughout the trip. Mustapha new languages and overall was a good “shepherd” to our diverse group through various experiences and encounters. As someone already mentioned in reviews, it is a conveyor-like sequence of experiences, but I must point out that it is not an easy conveyor to pull off, especially given we were going through very remote areas, and a multitude of logistical vendors/businesses. (You may not want to get off the beaten path there). So I’d say they make it feel smooth working, and even if there are hiccups, they resolve them swiftly. I wish there was a bit more historic content and anthropologic explanations, but maybe it’s just me and it would be boring to others. (We did get a bit of history from the local guide in Rissani and I would want more of that through the trip on the bus with us). Also I wish food choices were more diverse, but that may be a function of remoteness of those areas. One advice to future travelers: bring with you /plan for something to do on the bus - some drive stretches are long and maybe an audiobook or your favorite music would make the time pass faster. First day is mild and curious, with the build up to the desert (the approach to the desert may feel a bit sketchy, but just trust the process). The desert was magnificent and berbers are the kindest people. My most tiresome day was second, after the night in the desert (as you go to bed late after a great dinner and playing drums with berbers, and waking up super early for the sunrise in the desert). Third day was unexpectedly interesting with an underrated gem in the mountains - the old village you’ll hike through to the top for amazing views - choose that over Atlas studios, as it is more authentic and it is a UNESCO site (and beware of local “pirates” in the village!). Overall, thank you for a great trip!

• Good experience, beautiful sights

  I had a good experience and saw truly beautiful sights and experienced the country's rich culture. First part of the trip up to the night in the desert was operated by this tour operator. The trip from the desert through Ouarzazate and to Marrakesh was outsourced to another provider. This part wasn't as good as the driver simply didn't know what the package we purchased included. We did not see the Atlas Studio as mentioned in the itinerary and the last day was mostly driving to Marrakech and we arrived in the early afternoon. My recommendation would also be for the drivers (both) to give an idea of the day's itinerary, planned stops, etc. The hotel in Ouarzazate was substituted for Rose Valley. It was clean and they had a pool. Bit more modern and less authentic then the one mentioned in the itinerary. We had dinner included there and that may have been the worst dinner from my 10 days in the country. Breakfast was good. The overnight desert stay didn't end up having any sand boarding we simply sat on a dune after 30 minutes of Camel riding to wait for the sunset. Dinner at 10pm. Show at 11pm until 11.45 or so. Despite these small items I'd recommend this trip.
