Ha estado muy bien, muy organizada la recogida en la plaza, el conductor, Hassan, lo mejor, muy educado y divertido, contestando cada pregunta con una sonrisa, inmejorable. El recorrido muy bonito e interesante. El hotel Tifawen inmejorable, sitio precioso y mucha amabilidad y simpatía del staff. La experiencia desierto superónlas expectativas, todo imcreíble. Lo unico que no me gustó fue el constante ruido de los quads durante el viaje en camello, pero eso no se puede evitar. Translate this opinion into English.

It was very good, the pick-up at the square was very well organised, the driver, Hassan, was the best, very polite and funny, answering every question with a smile, unbeatable. The route was very nice and interesting. The Tifawen hotel was unbeatable, a beautiful place and the staff was very kind and friendly. The desert experience exceeded expectations, everything was incredible. The only thing I didn't like was the constant noise from the quads during the camel ride, but that can't be avoided.

La excursión está bien. El guia y el conductor (Mohamed I y II) encantadores y muy pendientes. Hoteles mal acondicionados y en la descripción de la actividad del desierto, no indicaba que en la opción standard no había calefacción en las jaimas, en pleno invierno hacia mucho frío y todas las personas del grupo no nos pudimos ni duchar. La jaima de cena y desayuno tenía una sola estufa tipo seta que no funcionaba, cenamos y desayunos con los abrigos puestos y nos acostamos vestidos.

The excursion was good. The guide and the driver (Mohamed I and II) were charming and attentive. The hotels were poorly equipped and the description of the desert activity did not indicate that the standard option did not have heating in the tents. In the middle of winter it was very cold and all the people in the group could not even shower. The dinner and breakfast tent had only one mushroom-type heater that did not work. We had dinner and breakfast with our coats on and went to bed fully clothed.

Totalmente recomendable, merece la pena hacer esta excursión y conocer la Marruecos más profunda llegando al desierto de Merzouga. El guía-conductor que nos llevó y nos trajo excelente, Taoufik, siempre muy atento, una conducción muy segura y en todo momento nos sentimos muy tranquilos, un 10 para él. Además el grupo de personas que coincidimos en la excursión genial, un ambiente inmejorable, cada uno aportando su granito de arena para pasar unos días inolvidables. La excursión de 10. Translate this opinion into English.

Totally recommendable, it is worth doing this excursion and getting to know the deepest part of Morocco, reaching the Merzouga desert. The guide-driver who took us and brought us back was excellent, Taoufik, always very attentive, very safe driving and we felt very calm at all times, a 10 for him. Also the group of people who coincided in the excursion was great, an unbeatable atmosphere, each one contributing their grain of sand to spend some unforgettable days. The excursion is 10.

The tour to Merzouga desert is an enchanting and unforgettable experience. I guess there are many tours and most tours do a similar route but I can confirm that the premium tour from civitatis ticks all the boxes. The stays are really amazing and the food is great. Lunches are cheap and very well selected! Our guide, Ibrahim, did an excellent job by all means! All our needs were met! He was relaxed and always in control. Probably by policy the guides tend to withdraw a bit, reach out to them!

Ha sido una experiencia mágica , lo más bonito de nuestro viaje a Marrakech. Las jaimas geniales, calentitas y limpias. El personal muy amable. Y cada rincón de esta bonita experiencia nos ha encantado. He de decir que tuvimos mucha suerte con nuestro grupo y nuestro chofer. Taoufik encantador, nos ayudó y asesoró en todas nuestras dudas, condujo fenomenal y atendió a mis hijos en todo momento ya que se marearon en la carretera con tanta curva. Una experiencia muy recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a magical experience, the best part of our trip to Marrakech. The tents were great, warm and clean. The staff was very friendly. And we loved every corner of this beautiful experience. I must say that we were very lucky with our group and our driver. Taoufik was charming, he helped us and advised us on all our questions, he drove phenomenally and he looked after my children at all times as they got dizzy on the road with so many curves. A highly recommended experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

¡¡¡¡Qué bien nos lo pasamos!!!! Mohammed, nuestro guía fue uno de los mejores guías que hemos tenido. Amable, atento y muy muy divertido. La excursión se nos hizo corta porque nos gustaría haber podido disfrutar más tiempo del campamento y de los paseos en camello, y del grupo con el que estuvimos, gente encantadora!! Gracias Mohammed por esta experiencia maravillosa, ojalá podamos repetirla. Translate this opinion into English.

What a great time we had!!!! Mohammed, our guide, was one of the best guides we have ever had. Friendly, attentive and very, very funny. The excursion was too short because we would have liked to have been able to enjoy more time at the camp and the camel rides, and the group we were with, lovely people!! Thank you Mohammed for this wonderful experience, I hope we can repeat it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy recomendable. El conductor llamado Joshua o como el dijo, Jose, Pepe, fue formidable, un gran conductor. La noche de hotel nos hicieron una fiesta de nochevieja con música bereber y hasta tarta, un detallazo!! Lo pasamos genial. El hotel está bien sin más. El paseo por el desierto nos entusiasmó a todos, una experiencia maravillosa. La cena de la haima fue escasa en la modalidad estándar. En la premium cenaron mucho y muy bien y tenían calefacción incluida. Hace mucho mucho frío, aviso. Translate this opinion into English.

Highly recommended. The driver called Joshua or as he said, Jose, Pepe, was terrific, a great driver. The night at the hotel they threw us a New Year's Eve party with Berber music and even cake, a nice touch!! We had a great time. The hotel is fine, nothing more. The walk through the desert thrilled us all, a wonderful experience. The dinner in the tent was scarce in the standard version. In the premium version they had a lot of good dinner and they had heating included. It is very, very cold, I warn you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia inolvidable, totalmente recomendable. El Riad de la primera noche espectacular, nos prepararon una fiesta especial por fin de año donde lo pasamos genial. El paseo en dromedario al atardecer y amanecer, dormir en el desierto y ver las estrellas es una experiencia que vale la pena vivirla una vez en la vida. A parte de eso nuestro guía Mohammed hizo el trayecto muy agradable y divertido, nos hizo sentir como en casa durante todo el viaje. Gracias por esta experiencia increíble. Translate this opinion into English.

An unforgettable experience, totally recommended. The Riad on the first night was spectacular, they prepared a special New Year's Eve party for us where we had a great time. The camel ride at sunset and sunrise, sleeping in the desert and seeing the stars is an experience worth living once in a lifetime. Apart from that, our guide Mohammed made the trip very pleasant and fun, he made us feel at home throughout the trip. Thank you for this incredible experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

I think the overall tour was well managed and organised. The only thing that I think was not good was the mix of people in the group of the tour - everyone spoke Spanish (and most of them only Spanish) except us, and hence it was quite hard to mingle with them (& to be fair hardly one or two people in the wider group even attempted to mingle with us - a family of three). There was one male (elderly) in the group who was very loud and quite brash - it managed to spoil a part of the overall exp.

La excursión muy bien. La actividad de los quads muy divertida.Mucho frío en el Hotel del Valle y en el desierto. Las jaimas geniales, a nosotros nos dieron una con dos camas de matrimonio enormes. Por la noche pusieron radiadores. Todas con el baño dentro, muy amplias. El regresó se hace muy pesado, solo se da el paseo por la mañana en camello y te montas en el autobus y no llegas a Marrakech hasta las 8 aproximadamente de la tarde. Nuestro guía muy simpático pero nos faltaron ms explicaciones. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very good. The quad biking activity was very fun. It was very cold at the Hotel del Valle and in the desert. The tents were great, we had one with two huge double beds. At night they put in radiators. All with a bathroom inside, very spacious. The return trip is very long, you only have the camel ride in the morning and you get on the bus and you don't get to Marrakech until approximately 8 in the evening. Our guide was very nice but we needed more explanations. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy completo, lo repetiría sin duda. Hay que tener en cuenta que es un viaje con un grupo de gente con el que comes, desayunas, etc, por lo que hay que adaptarse un poco al plan cerrado que hay. No tienes posibilidad de comer donde quieras, sino que está todo organizado. La vuelta se hace un poco pesada por ser en un día. Nosotros tuvimos mucha suerte con la gente y nos gustaron en general los alojamientos y comidas Translate this opinion into English.

Very complete, I would definitely repeat it. You have to keep in mind that it is a trip with a group of people with whom you eat, have breakfast, etc., so you have to adapt a little to the fixed plan that there is. You do not have the possibility of eating where you want, but everything is organized. The return is a bit long because it is in one day. We were very lucky with the people and we generally liked the accommodation and food. Opinion translated. Show original.

Spending 3 days in Merzouga trip was an unforgettable adventure! The food was exceptional, with rich and authentic flavors. A special thanks to our driver said, who went above and beyond—he was not only professional and punctual but also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He made every moment of the journey comfortable and enjoyable, even sharing interesting stories and tips about the region.This trip exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

El viaje fue increíble, muy recomendable. El hotel y las haimas estaban genial. Los Parajes del trayecto espectaculares.. No nos pusieron problema para no hacer hacer el viaje en dromedario. Creo que tuvimos muchísima suerte con el guía Said que fue excepcionalmente atento. Contándonos muchísimas curiosidades de las gentes y costumbres de cada ciudad. Se suma lo agradable y ameno que resulta a su dedicación y vocación en su trabajo. Muy contentos. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip was incredible, highly recommended. The hotel and the tents were great. The scenery along the way was spectacular. They didn't give us any problems with not having to travel by camel.

His dedication and vocation to his work made it more pleasant and enjoyable. We are very happy. Opinion translated. Show original.

La propuesta ha cumplido con nuestras expectativas, tenemos que decir que en gran medida ha sido gracias a Said, nuestro chofer-guía, durante los trayectos ha explicado historia, vegetación , o curiosidades de las zonas por las que hemos ido pasando haciendo ameno y entretenido el viaje. Hemos parado en varios puntos de interés y hemos podido fotografiar lugares increíbles. Las comidas han sido muy acertadas, hemos comido en lugares tradicionales y comida elaborada en el momento. 10 *para Said Translate this opinion into English.

The proposal has met our expectations, we have to say that it has been largely thanks to Said, our driver-guide, during the journeys he has explained history, vegetation, or curiosities of the areas we have been passing through making the trip pleasant and entertaining. We have stopped at several points of interest and we have been able to photograph incredible places. The meals have been very successful, we have eaten in traditional places and food prepared at the moment. 10 * for Said Opinion translated. Show original.

Ya solo por el paseo en camello y dormir en la haima, vale mucho la pena, es una experiencia chulisima. Eso sí, muchas horas de coche, demasiadas, y el minibus con 20 personas no es cómodo, acabamos reventados. Sí que echamos en falta un guía real, el guía fue el mismo conductor, quién fue muy amable y atento, pero no tenemos la sensación de haber aprendido o descubierto nada históricamente hablando. Lo recomiendo porque son 3 días divertidos y nos tocó un grupo con gente espectacular. Translate this opinion into English.

Just for the camel ride and sleeping in the tent, it is worth it, it is a really cool experience. Of course, there were many hours in the car, too many, and the minibus with 20 people is not comfortable, we ended up exhausted. We did miss a real guide, the guide was the driver himself, who was very kind and attentive, but we do not have the feeling of having learned or discovered anything historically speaking. I recommend it because it is 3 fun days and we got a group with spectacular people. Opinion translated. Show original.
