Tour Reviews
Recommended 4-day Sahara tour from Marrakech
I and 4 of my friends did the 4-day Sahara tour from Marrakech to Fes with our guide/driver, Youssef. It was a private tour with excellent driving skills by Youssef, a friendly atmosphere, and a very flexible schedule and stops. The accommodations were superb, and I would highly recommend it. Overall, it was great value for the money, and I would recommend doing it with Day Desert Tours.
Great experience from Marrakech to Merzouga
Our four-day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga was an amazing experience of our life with Youssef. We had the chance to visit Ait Benhaddou and the Merzouga desert and slept in a luxury desert camp. The vehicle was so clean and smelled fresh every morning, and Youssef took care of it. The hotel’s and the luxury camp food was delicious. The itinerary was worth it, and thank you, Barak and Youssef, for the great experience.
Our tour from USA to Morocco
Friendly driver with the best sense of humor. It was our first time traveling to Morocco from the USA. After we contacted Barak and confirmed the trip, we were wondering how it would be, but it turned out to be a great experience for five days from Marrakech to Fes. Thank you, guys, and we recommend anyone travel with you.
