100% Recommended. - Great trip. And very good for the price, I’d add. Hakim and Abdel were great! Abdel especially as tour guide was very knowledgeable. He and the Berber guide who showed us the fields and canyons, I felt, were particularly patient and empathetic. An issue that arose at the camp was dealt with appropriately. I’m quite impressed with the response/outcome which raises my review from a 9/10 to a 10/10. If a friend of mine were visiting Morocco I’d 100% recommend this trip. Many thanks 🙏

Amazing tour! - This tour was amazing! I got to see a side of Morocco I would have never been able to on my own. The tour guide Ali and the driver were personable, funny, helpful, and made me feel at ease as a female solo traveler. They were punctual and the tour was well organized. The desert camp is beautiful but be prepared for the heat. It is a desert after all lol. The only complaint I have which is why I gave 4 stars is the hotel we stayed in the first night. It did not meet the standards the rest of the trip upheld and I would recommend they find another hotel owing forward. It was too old. Otherwise, this trip was an amazing way to get a feel for the real Morocco!

Highly recommend - Impressive and diverse experience, highly recommended! In just three days we’ve seen cities, villages, mountains and the desert and got a lot insights into culture. Rida is a save driver and a sympatric person, that drove us through a lot of Berber villages and places until Sahara. On the way we had a lot of stops for sightseeing, talking and local guides were invited. Accommodation and dinner in the hotel and tent (basic) in the Sahara were amazing.   The only thing was the driver on the last day from Sahara to Fez. He spoke no word English and dropped us on places, we did not know where we are. He was super nervous, screamed a lot into his phone while driving. He did not respect the driving rules, left the streets several times because he was distracted by phone or his Arabic radio. Very respect less person, that did not allow me to close the window. I left the car before we arrived in Fez and switched to another to not risk my life.
