Great tour - Great tour and way to see the country of Morocco. Friendly driver and lots of stops along the long drive. Enjoyable sites in the valley and Aït Benhaddou. Sahara desert camp was definitely the highlight of the trip. The camel ride through the desert and accompanying views were unbeatable. Campsite was spacious, clean, and wonderfully decorated. Enjoyed the food and nighttime dance/music.

Great tour, friendly driver, nicely paced - Me and my boyfriend did this tour in February. We were joined by 4 others. Our driver was the lovely Mustafa. He was friendly and welcoming, spoke good English and made sure we were all happy and enjoying ourselves. The van was comfortable and although there is a lot of driving on this trip, we had lots of breaks at different view points/shops/cafes etc to stretch our legs. The tour around Ben Haddou was really interesting with a fun guide. The stay in the mountains was in a huge fancy hotel where we were the only guests so was a bit weird but I assume it gets much busier in the summer. The camel ride was great, and the berbers entertained us after dinner with lots of drumming and singing. We stayed in the middle accommodation which is just a bed in a tent but that's all we needed. It's VERY cold so be prepared and take lots of layers. We also really enjoyed the tour with Omar(?) around Goulmima Ksar, we learnt lots of history and about the way of life there. He even showed us inside his father's home. I would definitely recommend the tour, particularly if you have Mustafa as your driver!

Nice trip - we had a really great experience with all the tour. they picked us up on time from our riad in marrakesh. we had a great trip in our way to merzouga with our driver moustafa ( great driverand very friendly) . the trip its long but the van was comfortable and we had several stops to eat , to the toilet and points of interes to take pictures. the dromedary ride was cool and all the ones in charge were nice and friendly. keep in mind you need to travel with warm clothes because the night its really cold. the trip to fez was really long, but it has enought stops to rest. thanks moustafa for everything !!!

Desert Experience Well Worth It! - Yes, the trip involves lots of driving. Our wonderful driver, Ahmed(?), stopped enough times to stretch, use the bathroom, purchase snacks, and even take pics. Our group was wonderful and some sights along the trip were gorgeous. The desert/dunes experience was well worth it! To be honest, we booked the luxury tents and there was never a disclaimer (either Viator/Tour Operator) that we would be separated from the non-luxury folks. We are bonding with a group of people for 2 days, we bought food and liquor to celebrate my bday with all of them and all of a sudden you want to separate/take us to a distant camp site with people we don’t know? Not cool. They did this to us also on the first hotel night, separating us from almost everyone else. Wanted to be clear in case you book with more people in separate reservations and don’t want to be separated.

Good experience that can be improved upon - The trip started out well and we had a long first day which was not bad. The hotel (middle accommodations) was also excellent with good dinner and music to go along. Second day in Tijghir we could have spent less time with carpet sales and more st Todra gorge. Everything went smoothly till we were in the Desert and after sunset the camels took us to our tent area. There was utter confusion there with all member of our group of 17 having to wait about 2 hours to be assigned a tent. No one took responsibility for us and it felt that we would have to stay out in freezing cold. Organization was lacking and also communication. Eventually they found us all a tent. The Desert was freezing cold at night and in tents and not very comfortable. Some pictures and details on what to expect may have allowed us to prepare better. Our driver Jawaal was good and tried to be helpful but it seemed the overall logistics person failed a bit. The last was was tiring due to short sleep time the night before but it was ok. We enjoyed the experience now that it is over but wish the organization and. Immunization in the Desert was better. Some said a 3 day trip was too tight, but we did not find it difficult even with two children 9-10 years old.
