A guide that cared more about making jokes than to actually explain things. When the meal was offered, which was only in half of the occasions, you had to eat their pre-established menu, which was invariably horrible. Almost no stops for photos of the beautiful scenery of south Morocco. If you book the 4 day itinerary just know that there's no such thing. It's the same as the 3 day. You'll be dropped in a hotel in Ouarazazate on day 3 and picked up on day 4 to return, with NO ACTIVITIES planned.

On the 4th day, there is no guided content. On our website we state that participants are left in Ouarzazate to enjoy it on their own. We regret if you expected otherwise. Still, the activity took place as it is described. Even so, we take note of your impressions and hope they'll help improve, also regarding the meals. Thank you for your comments.

We booked as a group of 4, 4 days to Merzouga and back, and were joined by another 2 people from a separate group. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough, especially our driver Mohamed Chiboub. He spoke more languages than we could follow, switching between English & bits of Italian for our group as well as Spanish for the others. He guided us perfectly through every stop and sight to see, giving us great insight in to life from both Arabic and Amazigh cultural contexts. Most stops along the way we

Great tour!! We were so glad we chose to do the 4 day tour instead of 3 days, which a lot of people book. With the 3 day tour you have to go all the way back from Merzouga to Marrakesh in one day, which takes like 12 hours in the car. Instead we visited various other places on the way to Merzouga and back, such as Ait Ben Haddou, the Dandes George, Ouarzazate Filmstudios and a lot of other nice places where we had breaks. Tip: take some drinks and snacks to the desert to watch the sunset!

Excellent driver. Nice tour, amazing value for money. I’d suggest to cut the tour from 4 to 3 days, the last day is just a nice camel ride from the desert, then by car to Ouarzazate. As there’s not much to do in the city and it’s just 3h from Marrakech, I’d suggest to cut the stop and avoid spending one night there.

The first few days were great, especially enjoyed the filming locations and the desert trip (quad bikes and camels). Be sure to wear something warm as the tent gets very cold in the morning! The last day could have been avoided, we staid in Ouarzazate for half a day, slept there and then went back to Marrakech. There isn’t much to see in Ouarzazate so it would have made more sense to go directly back to Marrakech after the desert camp.

The vehicles were extremely comfortable which is a must given that we travelled great distances. Our driver Tarik was quick to answer all our requests. As a bonus, his music playlist is great! We enjoyed this tour so much that we decided to hire their services for a day tour to the Ouzoud Waterfalls. A special thanks also to Youssef for making our visit to Morocco very pleasurable.

Tour description was not correct and the driver spoke only Spanish. Even though we booked an English tour. We asked for compensation, but the customer service only answered with ridiculous excuses.

Our guides are prepared to give the necessary explanations in the language offered, even if it is not their mother tongue. The guide speaks several languages. We recommend to consult directly with the guide to find a solution during the excursion. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Super consigliato! Il viaggio è stato molto interessante e piacevole, i posti visitati sono davveto meravigliosi e si impara molto sulla cultura e le tradizioni berbere. Entrambe le guide che abbiamo avuto sono state super disponibili e molto preparate! L'esperienza nel deserto è stata indimenticabile. Consiglio di provare i quad per il ritorno dal campo nel deserto, meraviglioso! Esperienza da fare assolutamente! Translate this opinion into English.

El desierto impacta. Es impresionante Las actividades divertidas. El campamento cómodo.. En la cena deberían poner el aire acondicionado en el comedor. El hotel Panomara en el valle del Dades, muy bonito, cómodo,, precioso. El hotel de los Jardines de Ourzarte muy malo. Habitaciones sucias y antiguas. Miles de moscas en el desayuno. El viaje con Hamid Yakoubi perfecto. Amable, simpático, servicial. Dispuesto a ayudar en todo. Translate this opinion into English.

The desert shocks. It's awesome. The fun activities. The comfortable camp. At dinner they should put the air conditioning in the dining room. The Panomara hotel in the Dades valley, very nice, comfortable, beautiful. The Jardines de Ourzarte hotel is very bad. Dirty and old rooms. Thousands of flies at breakfast. The perfect trip with Hamid Yakoubi. Kind, friendly, helpful. Willing to help with everything. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien, gracias al chofer guía Hamed el alto, no hizo pasar unos días súper agradables empezamos un grupo de desconocidos y cuando terminamos éramos una familia y todo gracias a él hizo que todo fuera perfecto. No pongo 5 estrellas por q para mi gusto el tiempo en el desierto fue muy escaso, no nos dio tiempo a nada mas que levantarnos desayunar y vamos que que es tarde, como siempre todo a correr, gracias a Hamed que todo lo hacía especial. Gracias Hamed el alto, eres fenomenal Translate this opinion into English.

Very good, thanks to the guide driver Hamed el alto, he did not make us spend some super pleasant days. We started as a group of strangers and when we finished we were a family and all thanks to him he made everything perfect. I don't give 5 stars because for my taste the time in the desert was very short, we didn't have time to do anything but get up to have breakfast and let's go because it's late, as always everything to run, thanks to Hamed who made everything special. Thanks Hamed the tall one, you are phenomenal Opinion translated. Show original.

Maravilloso. El chofer Rashid excepcional, muy atento, continuamente preocupado por enseñarnos todos los lugares de interés, y pendiente de nuestras necesidades. Antes de llegar al alojamiento ya estaba preparada nuestra habitación familiar. En las visitas guiadas siempre estaba preparado un guía de habla hispana. En el campamento del desierto igualmente muy atentos y perfectamente organizado. Llevamos una impresión de Marruecos de gente muy amable respetando las diferencias culturales.

Marvelous. The exceptional driver Rashid, very attentive, continually concerned about showing us all the places of interest, and attentive to our needs. Before arriving at the accommodation, our family room was already prepared. In the guided tours, a Spanish-speaking guide was always prepared. In the desert camp, they are also very attentive and perfectly organized. We have an impression of Morocco of very kind people respecting cultural differences. Opinion translated. Show original.
