Our driver Said is really nice guide, knows a lot about country, local culture always nice to talk with, always on time. And we were lucky with berber camp – we got free update to glamping (tent with shower and huge bed). So desert is amazing, you know it yourself but take really warm clothes especially in January))

The distance is very good, the price is very high, our group is lucky, there are only eight people, using a commercial vehicle. If there are more people, it should be a 17-seater minibus. I have also experienced minibuses. Although it is not as comfortable as a commercial car, it is not bad. There shouldn’t be any major deviations in other itineraries, and the driver often stops to let us take pictures. There are no compulsory consumption items. Some villages will be passed by. Local guides will lead them to visit the villages. Some will also promote products such as carpets, but they are all voluntary. The guides will generally give them some tips as appropriate. This is definitely an unforgettable journey. The price is the lowest, but it does not mean that the quality is low. Although it is not luxurious, it is at least the quality of another standard group. In short, it is the king of cost performance, and there is definitely a surprise!

Incredible Tour! Although you do spend a lot of time in the van traveling from one place to the other, during the trip you get to enjoy the fascinating variety of Moroccan landscapes, culinary culture, and Bedouin traditions. The guides are super enthusiastic, really trying to offer you the best experience and give you a vast amount of info about the country. Absolutely worth it!

out of the ordinary! Do take the luxury camp, which is further into the desert. 1 hour camel ride. Regular camp 15 minutes. The participants were less enthusiastic. Lots of sightseeing along the way with excellent local guides.

Pack patience and perseverance, dress appropriately for travel, pack warm clothes and do not expect five-star all activity. Then you will have joy and lasting memories of the tour.

The tour itself was well organized and there were no problems. The driver Reda was the best thing that could have happened to us, as he often stopped at spots when he saw everyone looking excitedly out the window. He always had a relaxed saying and was in a great mood. The tour itself was great fun! However, there are two negative points, which is why I deducted one point. The “guide” in Ait Benhaddou forced us to take part in the tour, even if the description says that the tour is voluntary and you can definitely explore the village on your own. He said that either everyone has to take part in the tour or nobody and we have to hand in our passports. He said two sentences about the village himself and then let us go alone, which we could have done without a guide. The second negative point is that the whole trip is a sales trip and attempts are made to buy everywhere. The tour is recommended!

beautiful experience to remember. Excellent tour guide / driver Abdou who was very friendly and helpful

The tour is amazing and absolutely recommendable! Our driver drove safely and well. The individual sights are just great and definitely worth the trip. Even if some tourist groups cavort at the stops of the tour, you have enough space and peace to be able to make your own impression. So the sights weren’t overcrowded! The time you had at the sights was also perfectly sufficient. The food in the hotel and also in the Sahara were really good. The only thing that could really be improved is the restaurants where you stop for lunch. We found these not so great from the selection of dishes. So all in all a strenuous tour, because you sit in the bus a lot and for a long time, but it was the highlight of the trip! :)

Stefan –
A very nice and impressive tour! The first hotel was well, but otherwise great.
Phillippe –
Everything was great,I really enjoyed and I highly recommend this experience.
Paris –
It was one of the best experiences of my life, the trip was full of places to discover completely outside of what we are used to seeing. The part of the desert was undoubtedly the best, that memory will be engraved forever.
Rachel –
I can’t recommend this tour enough! Morocco is a warm country with warm people! We’ve met lots of very kind people in this tour which made it super worth it. Our driver, Assaka, was very kind, helpful, and funny. He doesn’t say much but he made the very long drives bearable. The stops were worth it and you wouldn’t expect much with the price but trust me, this tour is all you ever need in your 3d 2n in the desert.
