Iddir was nice and informative, going on this trip with him was a good experience.
Iddir was a great guide and very knowledgeable. He was always willing to help with and questions or requirements.
The experience was one of a kind and the tour leader Rachid made it! He was entertaining and has great knowledge of the area. Overall 10/10.
Fantastic experience overall! We really appreciated having local guide us to interest for long drives. The camel rides themselves for an unforgettable experience indeed, and we especially adore the fireside dancing with live drumming. That was the most special treat. The accommodations during the second night we were also such a lovely experience that we are lucky to have had. We would have perhaps appreciated if we could a bit more information about the duration of the drive before our next stop or had a little bit more air-conditioning at certain parts of the drive. However,overall, the experience was an absolutely positive one.
This was the best experience! The driver was amazing and even helped me when I was car sick and did not feel well! 10/10 recommend. This was the best trip ever!!
Honestly, I had high expectations for this 3-day trip, but the experience did not match what was promised. The landscapes and places we visited were beautiful, but the overall organization was lacking in several moments. The long hours on the road were tiring, and some stops felt too rushed. I also had the impression that certain stops were mainly intended to encourage shopping rather than truly enjoying the visit. One person in Tinghir even mentioned to us that these kinds of stops are often arranged for tourists to buy from specific shops. What disappointed me the most was the lack of attention to customer comfort and proper handling of issues when they arose. A more professional and responsive approach would have made a big difference. Morocco is an amazing country with incredible places to discover, but unfortunately, this trip did not meet my expectations. I don’t think I would book the same tour again
This is a must do trip when visiting Morocco! Seeing the Sahara is spectacular. This is a very economical way to do it and I highly recommend if you don’t mind sitting close to others and the occasional sweat. As long as you’re good with that, BOOK IT! Memories will last a lifetime! Also our guide Haadi our guide was spectacular. Very kind and helpful!!
iddir was a great guide everything was perfect
Imad and the driver were professional and friendly. The van was not as comfortable as I expected, seats were too close, especially for two people whose seats were located above wheels. AC wasn’t working properly. Overall a good, memorable experience but there are rooms for improvement.
Amazing experience. Best outing we did during our 10 day stay in Morocco. Our tour guide Hamid was fantastic and made sure we got everywhere we needed to be: overlooks, tours of the city, good food, shops, etc. highly recommend!
