5.00From sorting trip details, hotel suggestions, tour… things went pretty seamlessly for our family of 6 travelling to the Sahara desert via Agadir. This was a fun way to spend a personal desert tour for 4 days in Morocco. The trip excursions were all enjoyable and provided a wide range of experiences and different areas... Our driver, Said, was great. punctual, personable, knowledgeable and attentive, and able to navigate the chaos they call traffic with ease.. Overall, a very nice trip that was efficient in connections, informative, and very enjoyable.
It was a marvelous trip

5.00Our experience with desert trips was nothing short of great. Everything was perfect, from our driver and guide, the 4x4 vehicle, the accommodations and staff, the food, the people, and everything. Hssaine, our driver, was an excellent driver and was very polite and helpful throughout the trip. We asked to make a couple changes along the route and they were able to accommodate our requests without a problem. We were very happy with every detail of the trip. Overall, our experience was wonderful. Thank you for all your guidance, and I would highly recommend desert trips!
Smooth travel planning and a great trip in Morocco

5.00Our trip to Morocco was absolutely wonderful. Each city we visited offered something uniquely beautiful, from vibrant streets and stunning landscapes to rich cultural experiences that left us inspired. Everything was flawlessly organized. The hotels were amazing, comfortable, well located, and with fantastic service. Our driver was always punctual, friendly, and a great guide. He spoke perfect English and was informative and entertaining. We could not have asked for a better experience.
Great excellent service!

5.00I had booked a private trip, and our guide (Driver) Said who picked us up and stayed with us for the entire trip, was wonderful. He was very patient with us and extremely pleasant and friendly. He is also very professional and drives very responsibly. He can guide you and put you in the picture on anything you would like to find out, always with lots of patience. For example, where to dine, etc as to enhance your dining experience without any disappointment. Of course, all this depends on your personal preference. I will highly recommend him if you prefer a small group and a friendly tour. Thank you so much, Said and Desert Trips!
GREAT PROCESS AND AWESOME TRIP

5.00The itinerary was perfect and helped us to experience the best of what Morocco had to offer. Final schedule put together quickly and response to questions and changes was rapid, was no small feat on anyone's part and it was evident that a lot of time and effort went into our itinerary and every small detail. Payments thru were easily done. Trip was exactly as we hoped and the driver/guide was interesting, knowledgeable, friendly and always on time. Local tour guides were neat, educated, helpful informed, and spoke perfect English. Hotels/Riads we stayed at were all beautiful, comfortable and different which made each move a new experience from the start. As well, we spent a night in the sahara and when they billed it as a LUXURY CAMP it really was!! Loved our tour and the ease with which DesertTrips operated from start to finish. Will use them again without hesitation. Suppose your on the fence don’t be. They run a first class operation. Have fun!
Fabulous trip, luxury service, extremely knowledgeable guide. Would & have recommended them to other travelers.

5.00My husband and I arranged a private 4-day tour of southern Morocco (Agadir, Ouarzazate, Dades Valley, Merzouga, Marrakech..etc.) through Desert Trips, and our experience was wonderful. I am a bit of a control freak so trusting someone else to get things right does not come easy for me but they met and exceeded my expectations. At each location, we had a highly trained professional driver/guide, and since it was just the two of us, we had flexibility that isn’t possible in a large group tour setting. We learned so much about the beautiful country of Morocco and hope to return again someday to explore northern Morocco and the other imperial cities. We’ll certainly contact Desert Trips to help us create another spectacular experience!
All our expectations for the trip were exceeded

5.00Our trip to Morocco was top drawer beginning to end. The itinerary is well planned, local guides very friendly and knowledgeable and great accommodations. It was a pleasure working with the knowledgeable and helpful Med, who handled the pre-trip arrangements. Our driver Moha took excellent care of us and showed us his country in a way nobody else could have. It doesn't get any better than this! Thank you for the best journey. It was our first, thought won't be our last!
Superb arrangement, well planned and wonderful places with lovely food.

5.00The accommodations and plans are wonderful, fun, and exactly as described. I felt well prepared for the trip due to the communication Khalil and I have had, as well as our communications with our driver Addi, and we could just focus on having fun and living the trip, without worrying about anything. Addi was excellent. He was very courteous and, with a smile, ready to help us, and his car was kept clean at all times. They nailed exactly what I was looking for on places to stay, tours, timing, and order of activities etc.. Perfect! Would definitely use them again!
