Amazing, breath taking views. - The trails and routes had incredible views all the time, stopping anywhere on them routes you would be met with amazing views of the dessert. Staff was all super friendly and ensured you was safe and had a brilliant time. Tea was amazing too. Having a friend visit Morocco in a month 110% will have him book with this company. Quads where in great condition & in fully working order. Trails where a mixture of some fast pace & also some technical stuff. 10/10

A majestic ride through the desert - The quad bikes were well maintained, the ride was challenging but not too difficult. We started slow and then built up speed and difficulty along the route. We travelled for a good hour or so across the desert and covered a large distance away from the base, then we stopped at the camp for some delicious local tea. We then took the scenic route back home. The hosts spoke excellent English and ensured we were doing well throughout the whole process. It was well noticed that the leader kept looking back to check on us, whilst also maintaining good pace. When we arrived back our host sprayed us down with the compressed air to remove all the dust and sand. This was a small gesture but greatly appreciated. Overall the experience was very memorable and you certainly get what you pay for.

A Great Way to See Agafay Desert - It was a wonderful trip! The pick up and drop off are easy and convenient! The quad guides are excellent! Autumn and Abdul are friendly and professional. They kept us safe in the entire trip. When we across a road, one of them was in the middle of the road to stop traffic. Highly recommend the tour.

Fun quads in the sun - We all had a great experience. Well organised and some lovely stops on route.
Definitely wear older clothes as you are likely to get dusty.
Everyone loved this trip.

A must-do while in Marrakech - Absolutely incredible experience riding the quad bikes on the desert landscape, with a small tea break in between. Very well organised and great equipment - especially when we saw some other quad bike groups around on another day who had older looking bikes and not very good helmets or no goggles. Highly recommend

:( - Despite our excitement, unforeseen circumstances led to the cancellation of our trip Unfortunately, despite our efforts to explain the situation, Viator wouldn't accommodate our request for a refund or our preference of rescheduling due to their strict policies which are clearly stated in their T&Cs. While we reluctantly accepted this, a bit of understanding and flexibility would have made a more positive impact on our experience with the customer relations team.
Despite the setback of losing £115.00, it's worth noting that our previous experiences with Viator had been delightful. Their user-friendly website made booking easy, and we were thoroughly satisfied with the two trips we had taken before. Despite this recent hiccup, I would use the company again in the future. Just be aware of the T&Cs !!
