Amazing Trip from Marrakech to Merzouga! - We had an amazing trip from Marrakech to Merzouga! Our guide Laarbi was wonderful: a safe and calm driver; shared with us all the information that we needed to know along the way; delivered us to each stop easily and on time; was attentive to the group's needs + safety; thoughtful and kind!! The planned activities along the way were unique, versatile, and fun! We especially loved the trek through the beautiful gorge, and the opportunity to learn about authentic local hand-woven/dyed rugs. The camel ride through the dunes + the overnight camp was fantastic and so fun! Such a unique experience that I'll remember forever. Thank you!

Amazing 👏 - Amazing trip and insanely good value for money. Omar was great as were all of the guides who led the excursions at each of the stops on the way. It may seem like a lot of time to spend on a bus but it is 100% worth it as the Sahara desert is breathtakingly beautiful.

This was an amazing... - This was an amazing experience! You get to experience so much and you meet amazing people on this journey. My driver Ibrahim was incredible and so accommodating! I felt very safe with him and he taught me a lot about Morocco. The many little journeys in between Marrakech and Marzouga are interesting and make the experience feel more whole and the journey not as long as it is almost a 10 hour drive between the two destinations. As for Marzouga it is truly a once in a lifetime experience that everyone who has the opportunity should try. My only complaint for the whole tour is the luxury camp, while it was amazing and beautiful it doesn’t seem worth the extra 3 to 400 dollars my whole group except me was in the normal camp and they had no different experience besides their own personal room and shower. In my opinion the communal aspect of their experience seems great and to save 400 dollars seems worth. But if you have the money and want your own room the luxury camp is amazing no doubt.

Memorable - Since the beginning that the tour was very easy to book and get feedback from the managers. They explained all the details very well. Then, the spirit of the tour was so pleasant and free! It is amazing to meet the locals but also other nice people from Europe or United States. A huge thanks to Hamid, a very kind person who helped me tieing up the scarf around the head ahahah, and Zaite at the desert camp! Great experience, it was a pleasure!

Wonderful experience in morocco - Marrakech Travel Service organised a 4-day/3-night private tour for us. The stops included in the tour were the same as the classic 3-day/2-night tour, but we added an extra night to reduce the time in the car, as we had two children aged 3 and 7. We did everything directly in Marrakech, where Laila was very kind to accommodate every request and to organise the tour within two hours, leaving the next day. The hotels were all very nice (we recommend Hotel Kasbah La Jeanne Tourisme Ecologique). The excursion with the dromedary in the desert was also very engaging. We also had good guides in Ait Ben Haddou, the Toudra gorges and the Tinghir oasis (the guides were also found by the agency). The trip, although demanding due to the many hours spent in the car, was made cosy and pleasant by the very comfortable car, but especially by Jamal who was much more than just a driver. He fulfilled every request, helped us talk to the local people and told us and explained many facts and details about Berber culture.

Sahara Desert trip - Great experience!! Enjoyed the camel ride and sandboarding in the Sahara Desert. Beautiful sunrise and sunset as well Just note you are stuck in an a/c minibus 90% of the time and also can get away without wearing a scarf/headdress if you don't want to buy one. From memory, it was about 13 euro.

Great trip, great driver, great desert - We really enjoyed this trip with our fantastic driver Hamid, who we felt safe with during the long drives and he always made sure we were comfortable. Seeing the Sahara is a special experience you can’t recreate anywhere else.
