5.00Mahmoud was a fabulous driver. He took us to all of our prefered stops, such as rose products, nous nous, and viewpoints for photos. Professipnal driver, always providing answers to a variety of questions and advice for stops along the way. He made the group feel comfortable with one another and made everyone laugh. Also had a great play list.

5.00We spent three exceptional days with Omar FAIZ, a super guide who was able to introduce us to the real marocco, culture and the heart of the country in joy and Moroccan good humor. I recommend closed eyes for for a beautiful and rewarding experience.
Hope to have Hakim with you!

5.00Amazing experience, to do at least once in a lifetime. Hakim has been our guide on this magnificent journey. Our “crazy driver!!”. Attentive, helpful, kind and super nice! We really hope that all the next travelers can meet him. For those traveling in August: closed shoes and heavy clothing are completely unnecessary. Standard tent hot hell, you will not sleep a wink, if the deluxe provides an extra spit of air opt for that. Thanks again Hakim!
Awesome three days in morocco

5.00An unforgettable experience in the desert sand! The camp was cozy and authentic – perfect for enjoying the tranquility of the desert. We would like to especially thank our driver Mohamed Sabri, a super nice local. He not only took us safely through the dunes, but also organized everything top – on time, reliably and with a lot of heart. Absolutely recommend!

5.00The experience was unforgettable because of the sights you visit. These are truly magnificent! The guides that take you each time per activity speak good English and tell interesting stories. Our driver, Omar, was the icing on the cake, such a nice and charismatic man who knows a lot about the area and talks about it during the ride. No doubt about booking this tour!
Omar is best
