Our Customers Reviews
Great desert tour, thoroughly recommend
We did a 3 days Marrakesh to Fes desert tour. Said was great at organizing the trip and answering any questions and Ahmed, our driver, was also always patient and very knowledgeable about the local area.
The accommodation afforded was of very high quality, with the tents in the desert were out of our expectation, even including showers and proper toilets!
Feeding the Barbary Apes in the cedar forest of Azrou was hilarious.I would thoroughly recommend the tour!
Best Choice Ever!
We had a Marrakech to Fes desert tour for 3 days. I must say this experience is so marvelous. Said and his friends provided us with good accommodations, a 4x4 vehicle, and a very pleasant driver who can speak graceful English.
In the desert, we have a warm tent with a private bathroom and hot water (superior option), and Hassan prepared a traditional Morocco dinner for us. This is the best meal we had in Morocco.
I really appreciated everyone in this agency. I really recommend them to everyone, when I visit Sahara next time, definitely I would like to choose them.
