3 days tour, from Marrakech to Fes: great experience!

03-Jun-2020

My group of 6 friends enjoyed the three days (2 nights) tour, starting from Marrakech and arriving in Fes. The experience is really significant for people that want to have a direct contact with the moroccoan nature and have a more authentic understanding of the country besides the main touristic cities. The hotel in the Dades Valley was nice (great view!) and the Merzouga desert is wonderful! Our guide-driver Ali was friendly, available for whichever stop we needed during the trip and suggested good restaurant for our meals. The many hours spent in the car are necessary to cover so long distances and visit all the sites. Recommended!

Unforgettable trip !

It was an amazing desert tour, our driver was letting us take stops wherever we wanted, taking great pictures of us and providing great knowledge of the places we visited. The kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, the camel ride in Sahara desert, and experiencing the sunset, the sunrise and the starry night are among some of the unbelievable highlights of this desert trip. We highly recommend this desert trip !

3 day trip From Marrakech to Fes

06-Dec-2019

My sister and I went on a 3 day excursion from Marrakech to Fes with Anouar. Our tour far exceeded our expectations. Anouar was an exceptional guide and shared so much about Moroccan culture. The accommodations and itinerary were all 5-star and as two women travelers we felt very safe throughout the trip. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I would recommend this tour to any travelers interested in learning about and enjoying this beautiful country! We will definitely be back, thank you for an amazing trip!

Highly recommended!

Our tour with Anwar was fantastic! He was an amazing guide and shared so much about the Moroccan culture, traditions and people throughout our travels. Although the driving time was quite long, we were able to view so much of the countryside and stop to take pictures whenever we wanted. The scheduled tour stops were beautiful and Anwar would tell us where to get the best pictures or give us some background on its history. The riad and desert camp were also fabulous - very clean, well decorated and both had delicious meals.

Amazing 3 days tour!

06-Jan-2020

I’m still dreaming about our Moroccan Adventure, it was wonderful! Yassim, our driver, was very kind and always for us. We talked a lot about culture and learned about the berbere’s life. Quickly Yassim understood our wishes and he made the best to accomplish it. The evening/night in the desert was great even with the sandy wind! We visit also a nômade family that lives in caves, touch-full experience... our big THANKS to this company!
