Una experiencia recomendable. Muy buena desde el principio. El viaje de ida muy agradable y el conductor y guía muy claro, atento, amable, simpático y cercano. El hotel a mitad de camino muy bien. En el desierto estancia muy cómoda en el campamento de categoría superior. Recomendable quedarse dos noches y contratar una visita a un campamento nómada y los alrededores en 4x4. En la segunda noche nos quedamos en el campamento estándar. Hay mucha diferencia en comodidades y comida entre campamentos. Translate this opinion into English.

A recommendable experience. Very good from the beginning. The outward journey was very pleasant and the driver and guide very clear, attentive, kind, friendly and close. The hotel halfway very well. In the desert very comfortable stay in the superior category camp. It is recommended to stay two nights and hire a visit to a nomad camp and the surroundings in a 4x4. On the second night we stayed in the standard camp. There is a lot of difference in amenities and food between camps. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo mejor que hemos podido vivir y hacer en el viaje, el guía y conductor Taufic ha sido profesional, divertido y atento, nos ha guiado en Ait ben haddou cuando no había guías disponibles. Muchas horas en bus pero merece la pena !! Todo muy bien organizado y espectacular Translate this opinion into English.

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!

Lo mejor de la excursión fue sin duda nuestro conductor, Omar. Muy agradable, resolviendo todas nuestras dudas y con un gran conocimiento de la zona: paraba en los mejores sitios para hacer fotos, para comer e incluso nos hizo una parada no planificada en el mercado de Rissani, un mercado local de verdad (no como el zoco de Marrakech). Ir al desierto sin duda merece la pena aunque el viaje en si se hace duro. El campamento en el desierto es impresionante y no pasamos nada de frío. Translate this opinion into English.

The best thing about the tour was without a doubt our driver, Omar. Very nice, answering all our questions and with a great knowledge of the area: he stopped at the best places to take photos, to eat and he even made an unplanned stop for us at the Rissani market, a real local market (not like the Marrakesh souk). Going to the desert is definitely worth it, even if the journey itself is hard. The desert camp is impressive and we didn't get cold at all. Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión estuvo muy bien. Mucho coche pero con una variedad de paisajes espectaculares. El desierto, igual a las películas,dunas por donde quieras mirar. La jaima,en mi caso superior,con baño y amplitud. Recomendable el de 4 días ya que sino la vuelta es de 10 horas. Yo esperaría dos años para hacerlo ya que están arreglando las carreteras. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very good. A lot of car but with a variety of spectacular landscapes. The desert, just like the movies, dunes wherever you want to look. The jaima, in my superior case, with bathroom and spaciousness. The 4-day route is recommended, otherwise the return will take 10 hours. I would wait two years to do it since they are fixing the roads. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente actividad y muy bien organizada. Nuestro guía Barak de 10. Muy hospitalario, pendiente de todos los detalles y explicaba muy bien todos los detalles culturales del país. Además, conducía de maravilla. Nos invitó a tomar té a su casa familiar. No merece la pena hacer el de 4 noches. Se puede hacer el de 3 noches. Se ven las mismas cosas y si tienes la suerte de tener un buen grupo y guía como el nuestro no se hace pesada la vuelta. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent activity and very well organized. Our guide Barak out of 10. Very hospitable, aware of all the details and explained very well all the cultural details of the country. Plus, he drove great. He invited us for tea at his family home. It is not worth doing the 4 nights. It can be done for 3 nights. The same things are seen and if you are lucky enough to have a good group and guide like ours, the return will not be difficult. Opinion translated. Show original.

La edición superior del desierto no vale la pena, el wifi no funcionaba y la comida no valía nada. Coger 3 días esta bien, coger 4 es una perdida de dinero ya que duermes en un pueblo que no tiene nada interesante, prefiero comerme las 12h de coche del tirón que tener 100 euros menos . Por los demás todo super bien y nuestro Guía de 10 no, de 30. Muy recomendable (eso si la de 3 días). Translate this opinion into English.

The superior edition of the desert is not worth it, the wifi was not working and the food was worthless. Taking 3 days is fine, taking 4 is a waste of money since you sleep in a town that has nothing interesting, I prefer to eat the 12h of car in one go than to have 100 euros less. For the rest, everything is super good and our Guide of 10, not 30. Highly recommended (that is, the 3-day one). Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad está muy bien, hemos disfrutado mucho recomiendo hacer 4 días ya uno te lo pasas volviendo en carretera Pongo 4 y no 5 por el chófer Hasan, nos trató muy mal a todo el grupo, no nos paró en ninguna vista casi, al baño y donde a el le interesaba que comiésemos. Conversación nula explicación ninguna y encima respondiendo de malas maneras. El 4to día gracias a Dios nos cogió otro chófer Ahmed, el león del Atlas jaja majísimo una persona 10 nos explicó todo y todo fácil, es el mejor!

The activity is very good, we have enjoyed a lot, I recommend doing 4 days and you spend one of it returning on the road. I put 4 and not 5 because of the driver Hasan, he treated the whole group very badly, he almost did not stop us at any sight, to the bathroom and where he was interested in us eating. Null conversation, no explanation and on top of that, responding in bad ways. On the 4th day, thank God, another driver Ahmed, the lion of the Atlas, hahaha, a wonderful person, 10, explained everything to us and everything was easy, he is the best!

Dependiendo del tiempo de desarrollo de la actividad, es posible que los guías hagan el recorrido con menos paradas, para poder llegar cuanto antes al destino de la visita e intentar ofrecer una experiencia completa y enriquecedora. Sentimos las molestias a este respecto. Nos alegramos de que hayas disfrutado la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

Depending on the development time of the activity, it is possible that the guides make the tour with fewer stops, in order to reach the destination of the visit as soon as possible and try to offer a complete and enriching experience. We are sorry for the inconvenience in this regard. We are glad that you enjoyed the visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

Buena organización y especial agradecimiento a nuestro conductor Rashid, el cual fue excelente. Ahora bien, no recomendaría a nadie dormir en el desierto en invierno, hace MUCHO FRIO. Las tiendas standard no tienen nada de calefacción (en las Deluxe ponen un pequeño calentador que tampoco hace mucho) que hace que fuera una experiencia muy desagradable. En todo caso, pediría dormir en un hotel de Merzouga. Los demás hoteles genial. Translate this opinion into English.

Good organization and special thanks to our driver Rashid who was excellent. Now, I would not recommend sleeping in the desert in winter, it is VERY COLD. The standard tents don't have any heating (in the Deluxe ones they put a small heater that doesn't do much either) which makes it a very unpleasant experience. In any case, I would ask to sleep in a hotel in Merzouga. The other hotels great. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me ha gustado muchísimo, nuestro conductor Mustapha un todo-terreno, en todos los sentidos, siempre pendiente de nosotros, muy educado y gracioso! Nos condujo por la nieve, cerca del desierto, ciudad y nos explico su cultura, el viaje en 4 dias es menos cansado, mucho frio en el desierto pero merece la pena, un poquito mejor la superior.. acerca d comidas y comodidad, muy contenta Translate this opinion into English.

I liked it very much, our driver Mustapha was an all-terrain vehicle, in every way, always looking out for us, very polite and funny! He drove us through the snow, near the desert, the city and explained its culture to us, the trip in 4 days is less tiring, very cold in the desert but it is worth it, the superior one is a little better... about food and comfort, very happy Opinion translated.

Activité parfaite. Guide parfait, ponctuel et très bon conducteur. La seule chose qui ne va pas : les repas : tout est toujours pareil, même plat, même légumes,même dessert ou même soupe pendant 4 kours, sans goût, ce n est pas bon du tout. Je mets 5/5 à l acitivité mais 0/5 pour tous les repas.

Perfect activity. Perfect guide, punctual and very good driver. The only thing that is wrong: the meals: everything is always the same, same dish, same vegetables, same dessert or even soup for 4 kours, without taste, it's not good at all. I give 5/5 to activity but 0/5 for all meals.

Nous sommes très heureux d'apprendre que vous êtes satisfait du service. Cependant, nous regrettons que le repas n'ait pas été à votre goût. Nous continuerons à travailler pour améliorer également cet aspect de notre service.

La excursión fue lo mejor de nuestro viaje a Marruecos, una experiencia increíble en muy buena compañía. Muchísimas gracias a nuestro chófer Hamid, el mejor conductor! Además de ser un gran guía con el que aprendimos muchísimo sobre los lugares que visitamos y la cultura marroquí, es una excelente persona, se preocupó en todo momento de que todos estuviésemos lo más cómodos posible, y nos divertimos un montón con él. Un saludo de tus amigos Eva y Adrián. Translate this opinion into English.

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.

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 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.

Muy recomendable, sobre todo si es tu primera vez en Marruecos y/o tienes apenas unos pocos días para hacer el viaje y conocer el desierto. La actividad se hace un poco apresurada debido a la gran distancia entre Marrakech y Merzouga; por ello, casi inevitablemente, vas a tener la sensación de pasar mucho tiempo en la furgoneta y poco tiempo en los lugares a conocer y, sin embargo, no hay mucha alternativa a eso si solo tienes 3/4 días para hacer ese viaje. Pero lo pasarás bien; merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended, especially if it is your first time in Morocco and/or you only have a few days to make the trip and get to know the desert. The activity is a bit rushed due to the long distance between Marrakech and Merzouga; therefore, almost inevitably, you will have the feeling of spending a lot of time in the van and little time in the places you know, and yet there is not much alternative to that if you only have 3/4 days to make that trip. But you'll have a good time; worth. Opinion translated. Show original.

Gracias a nuestro Guía Alí fue una gran experiencia desde primera hora, el viaje hasta el desierto se hizo corto, es una realidad que hay que vivirla para saber que es, la vuelta fue un poco más complicada ya que la noche en el desierto aunque fue la mejor al día siguiente estábamos malos, pensamos que fue por alguna comida, yo optaría por evitar la fruta cortada ya que se enjuaga con agua del pozo. Translate this opinion into English.

Thanks to our Guide Ali it was a great experience from the very first hour, the trip to the desert was short, it is a reality that you have to live it to know what it is, the return was a little more complicated since the night in the desert although it was the best the next day we were sick, we thought it was for some food, I would choose to avoid the cut fruit since it is rinsed with water from the well.

Una experiencia muy recomendable, los paisajes, la experiencia del desierto con los camellos y el quad y la extrema amabilidad y hospitalidad del personal y multiples paradas para ver distintos parajes alejados de las grandes ciudades. Muy recomendable hacer la excursion de 4 días porque si no con la de tres días el tercer día se deben hacer mas de 10 horas de carretera con lo que se usa todo el día solo en eso. Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended experience, the landscapes, the desert experience with the camels and the quad and the extreme kindness and hospitality of the staff and multiple stops to see different places far from the big cities. It is highly recommended to do the 4-day excursion because if not with the three-day excursion, on the third day you must do more than 10 hours of road with what is used all day only for that.
