Highly recommended , if you want to go with friends is perfect , you know very good places and treat you in an excellent way.If you want to have a whole good experience in Marrakech is a perfect plan, all the people who organize it are the best and take you to very good places and give you a complete experience.
Super recommended experience. It is a super full day tour where you see snow and desert, the show and the foods are very top.

I have a wonderful experience to repeat the very good deal and both the driver and all who received us very well
The trip was a disaster The price is not justified and too high, we booked excursions for 20 euros that were much better than this one. The tour operator is unprofessional and contacted me via Whatsapp even three days after the excursion and tried to sell me more excursions and pestered me even though I didn't reply. In the town of Ait Ben Haddou we were charged an additional 30 dirhams per person for entry into the town, according to Google entry is free. We were taken to a restaurant that was completely overpriced and the food tasted of nothing, neither salt nor oil was used in cooking and the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. I have added a photo of the restaurant. The driver was unprofessional he did not stick to the departure times: once he said we would stop for 10 minutes and made us wait 40 minutes for him. We were dropped off on the street and not taken to the entrance of the hotel. The town of Quazarzate is completely unworth seeing. We had just under an hour and that was too much time... we also advise against visiting cafés and restaurants here. I have requested a refund of the amount.
Great excursion great day out amazing group of people smooth ride all the way through the mountains and the old town of Ouarzazate, lots of cultural exposure. Good value for money also friendly and accommodating staff. Ahmed went above and beyond to sort out my pick up even though my hotel was far from the city. Thanks guys please keep up the good work see you again soon 👍🏿
I loved this experience in Morocco! From the beginning Hicham was very good at helping me choose which would be the best excursion to do in Morocco. He speaks Spanish very well but also other languages, so it is very easy to communicate and ask all the necessary questions. He is very flexible in planning and making sure you have a great time. On the day of the excursion, the group was very good, the guides were very fun, with a very good humor and good disposition. They picked us up at the hotel, this was very comfortable and convenient. The whole day was an unforgettable trip, the landscapes, colors, the people we met, I loved it! Definitely when I return to Morocco I will contact the agency again to go to the desert and other excursions that I have pending.
The trip was amazing we had such a good time. The driver was very pleasant and patient. I highly recommend.
A magnificent experience Hicham, made our stay in Marrakech, very pleasant, recommended 200 percent
Very few words to write, as the emotions that provoked this experience are difficult to report in writing .. Hicham (the organizer) was perfect.. If you have little time to devote to the desert, it is a great solution .. (I still recommend 2 nights minimum - because the moment you realize where you are, you would never want to return). Absolutely recommended .. is thanks again Hicham for giving us this opportunity! Laura and Danilo.
Spectacular, Hisham is very friendly and attentive, speaks perfectly Spanish and is pending 24/7 to help you in whatever, super recommended, the best of the tour the views and landscapes to part of its people.
