We asked Said again for a family outing this year. Choosing the routes and places visited with always great relevance, Said knows how to adapt to our requests. Real pleasure to be with the children. We will contact Said if we wish to organize a new excursion to Morocco. You can trust him.
Highlight of the holiday!

Great day, great views, nice ride and a very nice and sympathetic driver. Said Snoobi really gave us a great day. He took us to the desert, the lake and gave us a trip through the mountains. As a good tour guide he gave us a lot of information about the area and history. He really wanted to give us a tailor-made day, so he asked a lot about our preferences and responded. We laughed a lot with him and had a great day! Definitely recommended.
Perfect desert experience,giving the flavour of traditional Morocco

The two of us had a wonderful day that started with Said collecting us from our hotel in the Kasbah. From there through the suburbs to the Agafay desert. We had camel rides and experienced the tranquility of the desert landscape. Then off roading through the hills with Said's masterful driving we felt very safe. Lunch was overlooking the lake at a beautiful restaurant. Perfect. We can thoroughly recommend this trip and you can completely trust Said's guidance and punctuality. Plus he speaks English fluently and is great company.
All right, kind and gentle

It was a wonderful day. As we were a group of 5 we opted for a private tour. Said was super patient and took us everywhere. We got to know everything. We ended the day watching the sunset over the desert, which made the experience even more fantastic.
Magic Agafay ✨

Our trip to the Agafay desert was very nice. Snoubi Travelling around our direct contact Mr. Said Snoubi have that really well organized. Everything went smoothly and the impressions, the Dromedar Tour, as well as the final dinner at a desert camp were really impressive. I can highly recommend the tour and would book it again with this organizer at any time. On the way I was with my wife and our 4-year-old son.
AMAZING ✨

We arranged our trip through our Riad (Road Antara) , who introduced to our driver Saeed, the same driver that we had from the airport and was most welcoming, friendly and also very funny! He looked after us on the trill and really made sure that we were learning and seeing what we had some to see...the real Morocco! The trip was let's just say AMAZING and we had such a brilliant time, made e en more fantastic by Saeed 😊 After visiting 2 valleys of the Atlas mountains, we enjoyed some lovely lunch by the Riverside at the last Valley, completed by a hike up to the waterfall! Again, a fantastic experience we will not forget!! We even purchased a rug which I will cherish forever! and yes, they accept card up the mountain! 😁 I would DEFINITELY recommend using these guys for your trip, you will be well looked after, in great company and will not go away without having learnt lots of things about beautiful Morocco. We'll be back soon, that's for sure!! Thankyou Saeed, I hope we meet again soon!! ❤️ Katie & Alastair xxxx
A magical moment

Said is an eminently friendly and professional driver! He has a lot of humor and loves his job. He shares with pleasure his knowledge of the region and in particular the Agafay desert where we went with him. A very nice 4x4 ride on the slopes with some sensations and breathtaking panorama safely. I recommend without reservation!
