Tour Reviews
Friendly driver
We booked the private tour for 4 days and 3 nights from Marrakech to Fes via Sahara. Started out our journey meeting the friendliest driver, Idriss. He knows the best views along the way to Merzouga and stops for the best photo spots as if he read our minds. When we got to our luxury camp in the Sahara, the tents looked exactly like the pictures on their website. It definitely exceeded our expectations; the food was amazing, with incredible hospitality. The entertainment of traditional Berber music and dance made the evening more exciting. We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Morocco and will use their service on our next visit.
Excellent tour from Marrakech to Fes with Moha
We just completed the Marrakech to Fes 4-day desert tour with Moha. Excellent driver and now a friend. He was very knowledgeable and made us completely comfortable. As a photographer, traveling with me can be a bit challenging but he was extremely patient and understanding and helped me to get some amazing shots all during the trip. As this was the first time in Morocco for all 6 of us, the private tour was definitely worth it. Moha knows so much history and interesting details of the country that it kept us engaged and helped us to really understand the rich history of this country. Will book again when we are back in the country again.
The tour was super affordable and we loved the places we stayed. The camel ride was an excellent experience and we would definitely recommend it to everyone.
A perfectly organized Morocco desert trip
The 7 days Morocco trip was an unforgettable experience! From the stunning Hassan II Mosque to camel trekking in the Sahara Desert, every detail was perfectly planned. The private tour allowed us to explore Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakech at our own pace. The luxury desert camp in Merzouga was magical, and the High Atlas views were breathtaking. Highly recommended!”
