Awesome Experience.

The scenery is spectacular and the overall experience is breathtaking. From the stop at the high Atlas mountain pass, to the beautiful valley drive, the Tonga Gorge and the spectacular camel and buggy ride in the desert. My only concern was the washroom/shower facility in the desert camp. Otherwise 100% recommended. Our driver was awesome, stopped for all the top places with sufficient time. Great chatting with him along the way. Again the scenery and overall experience is truly spectacular.

Once in a lifetime trip

This was an amazing once in a lifetime trip. You see such a large swath of Morocco and see such varied landscapes. My guide Abdul and driver Ibrahim were amazing. They were organized, descriptive, and always happy to help. I would recommend anyone that wants to experience Morocco to fo on this trip.

three days (The desert)

We had three wonderful days. Our driver was very friendly and helpful😍😍. He drove safely and managed to get to all the places on time. He took enough breaks and clearly announced the itinerary for the day. When we arrived at the places for the visits, the guides were waiting for us, which made everything go well. Lunches are organized along the way, but you are free to do whatever you want. We visited Ait Ben Haddou with a personal guide, toured the beautiful and varied landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and had a nice camel in the desert. It was a lot of fun. For the return, Our driver made sure we all made it safely to our riads by keeping in touch with us...

3 days travelling alone in Morocco

I had just spent 6 days traveling alone in Morocco, where I had completed two smaller tours with different companies before this one.While it is true the others were great but I would dare to say that they do not compare at all with this one.If you are going to spend a week in Morocco, I would advise you this last tour, as it has been the highlight of my trip.It has been full of adventures from start to finish and I have met excellent people along the way.Our driver (guide), Omar, did a remarkable job of taking us safely through the mountains and desert.Omar explained the history of many of the places we had seen during our trip and was always happy to answer any questions.He also helped us learn the important Arabic and Berber words. For me, the best part of the tour was the campfire under the starry sky in the desert.Different groups gather around the fire with beautiful traditional music in the background singing, dancing and playing drums.The Mood is unlike anything I have experienced.Sharing drinks, talking, singing and dancing with strangers.All the guides were great and helped members of other groups, but Omar in particular really brought energy with his dancing and singing.We all got involved and had an extraordinary time.When it calmed down, Omar told us jokes and guesses by the fire.It was a good fun time. Truly I recommend you do not regret a unique and incredible experience.

Thank you very much to our driver for a memorable trip. It's a long ride, but the scenery is worth it, especially the desert sunrises and sunsets

Great guide, highly recommended!

We came to Morocco as a group of four at Christmas '19, with beautiful and exotic scenery and a desert that was memorable. Omar, the young man introduced through the agency, is really very professional and responsible! Come to Morocco to play a lot of things without the locals really can't handle it, nonsense without saying, just pick him!

Very perfect experience in Morocco

A particularly comfortable tour group in Africa. As our driver, Omar is very good and his car skills are very good. He also told us many local stories and jokes on the way. He was very sincere and humorous and made my three-day trip with my boyfriend a very enjoyable and worthwhile tour group. I also thank Omar for his company.
