Great 5 desert tour

19-Dec-2019

Really great trip! Hotel 1st night was far above expectations (although FREEZING cold!). Camping was certainly nicer than a lot of other camping trips - we had actual mattresses and pillows and plenty of warm blankets. Camel ride was great, although only about 45 mins. Overall the tour I really enjoyed every single day of this tour.

Great Sahara experience

10-Jul-2021

We had an amazing 5 day tour this week with morocco private tours from Marrakech through the Atlas Mountains to the dessert (Ouarzazate, Skoura, Erfoud, Merzouga) and back through Draa Valley, Ait Benhaddou etc. The level of service was perfect all through the trip. We had fantastic guides: Jazouli and Yassine. The pick-up time and place was exactly as promised, we travelled in excellent car. The drivers were safe - very good driving style. The guides were very flexible in desired stops, timing etc. The selection of Kasbah's in which we stayed in Skoura and Ait desert was excellent - they really select good accommodation! Also, the Tiziri Luxury Tent in desert camp was great quality and the people are very nice and friendly. So all in all definitely a tour company that I would highly recommend.

Life time experience

May - 2019 Tour: 5 days in Morocco Guide: Ismail (the best) TIME: We spent one-week holiday in Morocco and 5 days over 7 were travelling around Morocco with Ismail. OVERALL: I would say the 5 days experience was great for both our guide and the transportation van. Omar was great, and he really took care of us! For all the journey long he was stopping by the main points to take pictures, giving us information and providing a table for meals in no time at all. Never had a moment were we felt unsafe or unhappy. So, THANK YOU, Ismail! The van we were traveling with was super comfy, and trust me when I say that this has vital importance when you drive for miles and miles in the middle of nowhere EXPERIENCE: The experience itself was really interesting and I feel comfortable to suggest to do it to everyone. The hinterland of Morocco is really unusual. You pass from characteristic mountains to desert lands. Riding a camel in the desert (they are actually dromedary) has been on my list for really long time and it didn't miss the expectations: funny and unusual. THE ACCOMMODATIONS: The best was the last RIAD where Ismail brought us. We were the only one and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It really was. The desert accommodation was as you probably expect (yes, exactly like that). Five stars to these guys who present us with really good memories of Morocco!
