Reviews from travellers on this tour

Mary Smith  

wonderful four days tour

06-Mar-2020

We had a great time. Ishmael was a great guide. He was fun and very informative. We really enjoyed our time with him. Dennis and Carol Hoenich

Peter Hoar  

Great organization

19-Feb-2021

Tour was well-organised, with a long but very interesting road trip. Camel ride in the desert was breathtaking, but getting on and off was badly handled for older folk. A set of steps, like every other camel ride we've seen, should have been provided. Staying overnight in the desert was spectacular, in a large tent with on-suite bathroom! That's something you don't see every day.

Noah  

Simply amazing tour

31-Dec-2020

Everything about the tour exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Great tour

05-May-2021

Well-organised to see much of Morocco in 9 days — but this meant some long travelling days in a full minibus. Good companions from several countries. Overall a good tour at a fair price.

Sarah  

Fantastic trip!

15-Nov-2019

Think of it this way: after spending some time on your won in crazy Marrakech, having a few days where you don't have to think what to do and where to go, yet reaching destinations you hardly would do on your own. I had extra good camp option, and it was amazing. Our driver: 10 points, views: 10 points, vehicle comfort: 10 points. Really. Just be prepared: nights in the desert are cold, but sunrise in the desert is out of this world.
