Highly recommend for a jam packed Moroccan experience away from the city!

13-Jul-2024

This was an amazing tour. We experienced so much in just a few days. Our driver Yassine was so kind and patient and explained everything we needed to know, always asking us if everything was okay and giving us tips like when and where to buy drinks for cheaper. The walk in the gorges in Atlas Mountains was gorgeous, and the camel ride and camp in the desert was a life experience. It’s very very hot, so be prepared. We had a choice of bed arrangements in the tents and all the provided meals were very pleasant. This tour exceeded my expectations. I and my two young adult children had a great experience with Yassine!

Amazing trip! A must for the bucket list

13-Jul-2024

We highly recommend this trip! Amazing value for money. We had the perfect driver Yassine, he made us feel very comfortable and able to ask any questions and request to stop as frequently as we want without feeling like we’re bothering. All in all, we felt very safe with him! Regarding the trip, some points to note (not necessarily bad but just a heads up): 1) lunch stops are overpriced and sub par 2) ait ben haddou stop: the tour guide is not included (it costs 20 dirham) but you could also walk yourself to the top easy enough There are many highlights, lots of photos opportunities and again great value for money! A really fun time and the desert at night was absolutely beautiful. The camels also seem to be very well taken care of which was a huge thing for us so no need to worry in that sense. Highly recommended!
