The tour guide was very helpful and kind. We were picked up from our accommodation and taken on a drive through the Gateway of the Sahara. We stopped by a town, Kasbah where we saw old forts and a tour guide took us on a hike. Then we proceeded on our tour and got to the desert where we rode camels to the tents at sundown.
Dear aadithya!! Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip, especially the visit to the Kasbah and the camel ride at sunset. It’s great to know that our driver took good care of you throughout the journey. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to Morocco in the future!
We had an incredible desert tour experience from start to finish. The journey was very well organised, with plenty of stops along the way to stretch our legs, use the facilities, and take beautiful photos of the changing landscapes. Every stop felt perfectly timed and never rushed. The visit to the ancient kasbah was absolutely amazing full of history and breathtaking views. The dramatic canyon scenery was equally impressive and gave us some unforgettable photo moments. The camel ride into the desert exceeded all expectations and was truly unforgettable. Watching the sunset over the dunes and waking up early for the magical sunrise were the highlights of the trip. Our guide was outstanding, explaining everything clearly and sharing fascinating insights about the country and local culture. Highly recommended!

The enthusiasm and deep knowledge shared with us transformed a simple tour into something meaningful and memorable. Always attentive and happy to answer every question, our guide made sure everyone felt included and involved.

The experience was wonderful, from the first to the last day. The guides picked us up directly by bus from the hotel and took us around the south of Morocco through beautiful endless landscapes, desert, plains and even ice! It was especially unforgettable the experience in the desert, absolutely to be redone and I recommend it if you come for a week in Morocco. Wonderful place wonderful people delicious food!! Super approved!!
Dear Checcatobeach!! Grazie mille per la splendida recensione! Siamo felicissimi che abbiate apprezzato il tour dall'inizio alla fine e che i paesaggi del sud del Marocco vi abbiano lasciato ricordi indimenticabili. Sapere che l’esperienza nel deserto, il cibo e l’ospitalità hanno reso il vostro viaggio speciale ci rende davvero felici. Grazie per averci scelto e speriamo di rivedervi presto per un'altra avventura in Marocco!
From beginning to end, it was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Everything ran seamlessly, the people we met were warm and genuinely welcoming, and we were surrounded by an incredible number of jaw-dropping landscapes. On top of that, we had the chance to truly experience local traditions and, of course, the desert itself. The whole journey was well-organized and engaging, with constant attention to making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Our entire group of 19 couldn’t have been happier. Support was always there whenever we needed it, and the people we met along the way were eager to share their culture and answer our questions - even if it meant staying up until the early hours of the morning. Knowing now what the experience offers, I would honestly pay three times the price without hesitation.

This was by far the best trip I’ve ever been on! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and full of unforgettable experiences. The itinerary was packed with amazing sights and activities, offering incredible value for money. What really made it special, though, was the chance to meet and spend time with the local Berber people they were so kind, welcoming, and eager to share their culture and stories. It truly added a personal and authentic touch to the whole journey. Our guide, Yousef was absolutely fantastic. He made sure everyone in the group understood what was happening at all times, and he was always ready to help with anything we needed. His positive energy, humor, and friendly personality kept everyone smiling and made the group feel connected and comfortable throughout the trip. I couldn’t recommend this experience more it was educational, fun, and heartwarming all at once. A definite 10/10 adventure that I’ll remember for a very long time!
