5.00Excellent driver, very safe and professional driving, always on time, very helpfull, an amazing guide who gave the most interesting insight knowledge about modern Morocco and the Maroccans way of thinking and living. We did a 5 day tour with our driver Hicham. Another trip than described going from Marrakech to the dessert visiting many cities on our way. But even though it was a different tour we give our most warm recommendations! Hicham (our driver and guide) had a lot of knowledge about traditions, religion and the local area. He spoke good english and had a pleasant personality. Hicham was good at planning and finding interesting stops. We would not hesitate contacting Hicham again for new adventures in Morocco.
To do absolutely!!

5.00I enjoyed the caring and friendly attitude of the tour guide Elhoussan, a real gentleman and made sure i was safe at all points of the tour in the desert. I love the desert and stayed before a few years ago, but this by far was the best magical trip i have had. Elhoussan knows everything you need to know about the desert and surrounding areas, he talks through the tour and makes sure you are aware of your location and surroundings at all times. Food was amazing, camp was beautiful. I travel solo so my safety was a priority for me and with this tour i felt so safe and and would recommend this tour a lot. Just amazing and more than worth the price. If your safety and well being is a priority like me you wont be disappointed if you book this trip. The driver is also helpful and polite, and a great confident driver. Best wishes Elhoussain and thankyou so much for making my Morocco trip so special. :))))))

5.00I travel quite a lot and can easily assert that I had a lifetime travel experience with Ibrahim as my guide. Learning the desert and mountains through a berber’s eyes who has the sensitivity and linguistic skills to anticipate a foreigner’s curiosity, apprehension is what made my trip truly my lifetime’s (so far) best.
Great tour - great guid
