This trip was amazing and I would repeat it without doubt, however these can be improved: 1. Ait Ben Haddou: we were told to go with a guide, with the excuse that is easy to get lost. I would have really enjoyed more if I have gone on my own and take the time I want to take photos. I think is best if the driver clearly says you can go on your own if you wish so. 2. For lunch you go to European price restaurants 3. Last day we visited all in a hurry just to arrive around 16:30 to Marrakech.

Très bon séjour À savoir : l’accompagnateur est un chauffeur et pas un guide. Il faut aussi bien avoir en tête qu’il y a beaucoup d’heures de route entre Marrakech et Merzouga. Mais ça en vaut la peine. Pas sûr que l’option chambre supérieure (+50€|pers) soit vraiment différenciante. Ce que nous avons le plus aimé : la visite de Ait Ben Attout et le désert Ce que nous avons le moins aimé : les arrêts « obligés » dans les resto et les commerces présélectionnés par le chauffeur Translate this opinion into English.

Very good stay Please note: the guide is a driver and not a guide. You should also keep in mind that there are many hours of driving between Marrakech and Merzouga. But it's worth it. Not sure that the superior room option (+50€|pers) is really different. What we liked the most: the visit to Ait Ben Attout and the desert What we liked the least: the “obligatory” stops in restaurants and shops pre-selected by the driver Opinion translated.

Increíble experiencia! El tour lo hicimos con Said y nos encantó! Nos iba explicando un montón de cosas durante el trayecto y estuvo atento a todas nuestra necesidades. El último día te quedas en Ouarzazate, que no tiene mucho que ver (y lo único que hay está cerrado por el terremoto)... No sé si vale mucho la pena hacer 4 días. Si te agobias de tanto coche es mejor 4dias, si aguantas bien , con el de 3 días es suficiente. Translate this opinion into English.

Incredible experience! We did the tour with Said and we loved it! He explained a lot of things to us during the trip and was attentive to all our needs. The last day you stay in Ouarzazate, which doesn't have much to see (and the only thing there is closed due to the earthquake)... I don't know if it's worth doing 4 days. If you get overwhelmed by so many cars, 4 days is better, if you can handle it well, 3 days is enough. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo recibido fue lo ofrecido en la web de CIVITATIS. Nada que reclamar en ese aspecto. Yo viajé solo y contraté el Servicio Premium. Sin embargo la visita al Desierto de Merzouga duró muy poco como asi tambien la estadia en la Tienda en el ¨Desierto¨. La tienda si bien estaba muy bien puesta carecia de algun tipo de calefaccion por lo cual la noche fue muy fria. El servicio de cena y desayuno como el servicio mismo fue muy pobre. Sobre 4 dias de tour solo apenas 12 horas se pasan en el Desierto Translate this opinion into English.

What was received was what was offered on the CIVITATIS website. Nothing to complain about in that regard. I traveled alone and contracted the Premium Service. However, the visit to the Merzouga Desert lasted very little, as did the stay in the Shop in the “Desert”. Although the tent was very well set up, it lacked any type of heating so the night was very cold. The dinner and breakfast service as well as the service itself was very poor. On a 4-day tour, only barely 12 hours are spent in the Desert Opinion translated. Show original.

Quise pasar mi cumpleaños 60 junto a mi hijo que también cumplía 25 en un lugar que no olvidaríamos jamás, y con la familia y parejas acompañando, la experience fue un éxito rotundo. Más si contamos lo bien organizado que es el tour, y lo ameno y agradable que fue Hassan nuestro guía. Nos ayudó con el regateo, nos contaba historia, y hasta se responsabilizó de traer los pasteles. Un familiar más vaya. Gracias Hassan y Civitatis por tan cómodo viaje. Valió mucho. Translate this opinion into English.

I wanted to spend my 60th birthday with my son who was also turning 25 in a place that we would never forget, and with family and couples accompanying us, the experience was a resounding success. Even more so if we consider how well organized the tour is, and how enjoyable and pleasant Hassan our guide was. He helped us with the haggling, told us history, and even took responsibility for bringing the cakes. One more family member. Thank you Hassan and Civitatis for such a comfortable trip. It was worth a lot. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro conductor Omar fue genial, muy majo y siempre pendiente de todo. Viajamos con nuestro hijo de 7 años y siempre pendiente y jugando con él. Al finalizar la excursión le hizo unos regalitos. Remarcar el desierto que fue una pasada, fuimos a la Haimas en quad y volvimos en dromedario, una experiencia inigualable, además de la noche beréber con los tambores a la luz de la luna y la hoguera. Recomiendo los 4 días para ir con niños ya que la vuelta es más tranquila. Translate this opinion into English.

Our driver Omar was great, very nice and always attentive to everything. We travel with our 7-year-old son and he is always watching and playing with him. At the end of the excursion he gave her some gifts. Highlighting the desert was amazing, we went to the Haimas on a quad and came back on a camel, an unparalleled experience, in addition to the Berber night with the drums in the moonlight and the bonfire. I recommend the 4 days to go with children since the return trip is calmer. Opinion translated. Show original.

Son muchos km lo que implica mucho tiempo en el coche. Nuestro guía Mohamed muy amable y atento a todas las peticiones y nos hizo un viaje muy agradable. Éramos solo 5 pero de distintas nacionalidades y nos intégranos y nos reímos mucho con todos los cambios de idioma. El desierto y la Jaima fueron geniales Lo Peor por favor cambiad el hotel de ouarzazate ya por favor el hotel jardín no debería ser el lugar de alojamiento. Algo más céntrico que permita salir a dar un paseo y mejores habitaci Translate this opinion into English.

There are many km which implies a lot of time in the car. Our guide Mohamed was very friendly and attentive to all requests and made us have a very pleasant trip. There were only 5 of us but of different nationalities and we integrated and laughed a lot with all the language changes. The desert and the Jaima were great. The worst, please change the hotel in Ouarzazate and please, the garden hotel should not be the place of accommodation. Something more central that allows you to go out for a walk and better rooms.

El tour fue genial. El desierto es toda una experiencia. Fui solo pero me sentí muy acompañado en el grupo. En parte lo valoro muy bien por los guías/conductores Hamid y Rachid. Hicieron el viaje muy ameno y divertido. Dormir en un jaima y ver el cielo estrellado de noche en el desierto es una experiencia única. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was great. The desert is quite an experience. I went alone but I felt very accompanied in the group. I rate it very highly in part because of the guides/drivers Hamid and Rachid. They made the trip very enjoyable and fun. Sleeping in a tent and seeing the starry sky at night in the desert is a unique experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Favulosa experiencia, repetiria sin dudar, son muchas horas de carretera pero gracias a Hamid, todo fue muy agradable y entretenido… en cuanto al dia del desierto, os recomiendo subir o bajar en quad… la verdad es que una aventura así, con un buen guia se lleva mejor… Hamid se encargo de que tubieramos una agradable excursion, interactuando, explicando anecdotas, servicial, la verdad que ojala todos los guias hicieran el trabajo con la misma profesionalidad! Mil gracias por todo. Translate this opinion into English.

Fabulous experience, I would repeat without hesitation, there are many hours on the road but thanks to Hamid, everything was very pleasant and entertaining... As for the desert day, I recommend going up or down by quad... the truth is that an adventure like this, with a good guide gets along better... Hamid made sure that we had a pleasant excursion, interacting, explaining anecdotes, helpful, the truth is that I wish all the guides did the job with the same professionalism!

La experiencia es maravillosa. Aunque he de indicar que es matadora debido a las distancias y las horas en la carretera. No obstante llegar al Sahara con todo lo sé va descubriendo de camino y dormir en el desierto es algo que todos deberíamos hacer una vez en la vida. Destacar la labor de nuestro guía Mohamed, profesional, atento y muy volcado con el grupo, en mi caso reducido, ya que elegir la categoría superior ha sido un acierto en todos los sentidos. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience is wonderful. Although I must point out that it is a killer due to the distances and hours on the road. However, reaching the Sahara with everything you discover along the way and sleeping in the desert is something that we should all do once in our lives. Highlight the work of our guide Mohamed, professional, attentive and very dedicated to the group, in my case small, since choosing the superior category has been a success in every sense.

Imprescindible. Mejor 3 noches, 2 muy larga la vuelta de Merzouga-Marrakech (10 horas sin visitas). Cogimos la opción SUPERIOR (mejor campamento, te llevan el equipaje al mismo y te Dan opción a ida o vuelta en 4x4 por si no quieres dromedario). MALO: LA cena del desierto son platos al centro, compartidos con TODOS, Hotel de Ouarzazate Laperledusub con discoteca, la música se oía en la habitación muchísimo toda la noche. Conductor Said, de 10! Simpático, divertido, explicaba todo y atento. Translate this opinion into English.

Essential. Better 3 nights, 2 very long return from Merzouga-Marrakech (10 hours without visits). We took the SUPERIOR option (better camp, they take your luggage there and give you the option to go or return by 4x4 in case you don't want a camel). BAD: THE desert dinner is dishes in the center, shared with EVERYONE, Ouarzazate Laperledusub Hotel with discotheque, the music could be heard in the room very much all night. Driver Said, 10! Friendly, fun, explained everything and attentive. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy recomendable! En 4 días las paradas y las visitas fueron muy tranquilas y pudimos tener tiempo para saborear cada uno de los sitios que paramos.

Viajamos con un grupo pequeño donde éramos solo 3 parejas, siendo esto un plus. Nuestro guía Hamid nos consintió todo el tiempo haciéndonos muy agradable el largo viaje. Todo fue puntual y bien organizado. No tenemos más que agradecer a la gente de esta empresa por su organización y experiencia. Además, los hoteles fueron bien escogidos y cómodos, con buenos desayunos y cenas. Todo muy bien... Y un agradecimiento especial a nuestro guía Hamid. Translate this opinion into English.

El recorrido no se ajusta a lo detallado en la web. El día de regreso del desierto no se realizó ninguna de las paradas indicadas. Hicimos la vuelta sin parar, solo media hora para comer. El guía fue muy amable pero se echó de menos un poco más de contexto e información de los sitios visitados.

The route does not comply with what is detailed on the website. On the day of return from the desert none of the indicated stops were made. We made the return without stopping, only half an hour to eat. The guide was very friendly but we missed a little more context and information about the sites visited.

Como se indica en la Web, en el día del regreso no se realiza ninguna parada. Se da a los clientes tiempo libre y algunas opciones de lo que se puede visitar hasta la hora de salida. Esta información se da para que sea tenida en cuenta antes de efectuar la reserva. Sentimos que no tuvieras constancia de ello con anterioridad. Translate this opinion into English.

Experiencia recomendada pero con matices, nosotros realizamos el circuito de cuatro días, muchas horas de autocar, en cuanto a las visitas facultativas sólo realizamos una. El chófer buena conducción, el guía muy amable y educado. Yo realizaría la excursión de tres días, cuando sales del desierto pasás la noche en un pueblo para continuar al día siguiente hacia Marrakech, el resto del grupo continuaron por qué tenían la excursión de tres días, nos quedamos solos en el pueblo Ouarzazate sin guía.

Recommended experience but with nuances, we do the four-day circuit, many hours by bus, as for the optional visits we only do one. The driver drove well, the guide was very friendly and polite. I would do the three-day excursion, when you leave the desert you spend the night in a town to continue the next day to Marrakech, the rest of the group continued because they had the three-day excursion, we were left alone in the town of Ouarzazate without a guide.

La actividad en sí una pasada una experiencia brutal en haima en el desierto. El guia y las personas dedicadas al turismo son ultra amables. Lo malo son los largos kilometros que te pasas en el bus donde conducen como locos, olia a frenos quemados, los cinturones muchos no funcionaban bien, alguna ventana el sellado no estaba bien y corria el aire de fuera, aire acondicionado no fuuncionaba, etc...

The activity itself was amazing, a brutal experience in a haima in the desert. The guide and the people dedicated to tourism are ultra friendly. The bad thing is the long kilometers that you spend on the bus where they drive like crazy, it smelled like burnt brakes, many of the seat belts did not work well, some window sealing was not good and the air was blowing from outside, air conditioning did not work, etc. ..

No podemos estar más contentos con la experiencia vivida. Magnifica excursión de 4 días. Cabe destacar el maravilloso trato recibido por Said, así como manifestar sus buenas dotes de conductor. Increíbles las explicaciones que nos daba y la información de historia y cultura. En lo que respecta a los alojamientos y comidas, todo muy bien (quizás en la cena del alojamiento superior en el desierto, deberían mejorar la ensalada). Muchas gracias por esta experiencia Said.

We couldn't be happier with the experience. Magnificent 4-day excursion. It is worth highlighting the wonderful treatment received by Said, as well as demonstrating his good driving skills. The explanations he gave us and the information on history and culture were incredible. As far as accommodation and meals are concerned, everything was very good (perhaps at dinner in the superior accommodation in the desert, they should improve the salad).

In general it was a very interesting excursion. Barak, the driver, very attentive. He answered all the doubts and questions we asked him, in addition to explaining thousands of things to us. He made us an afternoon of jokes and everything where we had a great time and at the same time made the trip in the van more enjoyable, which is very important since there are many hours on the road.
