La actividad mereció completamente la pena, se visitan distintos paisajes durante todo el trayecto y finaliza en Merzouga un lugar espectacular característico por sus preciosas dunas. Nuestro chófer Hamidizm encantador nos hizo pasar muy buenos momentos y sin tener obligación nos dio todo tipo de explicaciones en castellano. Un gran profesional. Un abrazo muy grande de tus Habibis copilotos. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was completely worth it, you visit different landscapes throughout the journey and it ends in Merzouga, a spectacular place characterized by its beautiful dunes. Our charming driver Hamidizm made us have a great time and without any obligation he gave us all kinds of explanations in Spanish. A great professional. A big hug from your Habibis co-pilots.

Sabíamos que serían muchos kilómetros de carretera. Pero, esperábamos pasar más tiempo en el desierto. Solo fuimos a dormir y a la mañana siguiente muy temprano nos marchamos. Apenas pudimos disfrutar de la experiencia de estar en el desierto. Por otra parte, esperábamos recibir + información de cada sitio por donde pasábamos por parte del chofer-guía. Por último, el chofer-guía debe ser quien decida quien se sienta delante cuando hay personas que se marean y vomitan y no dejarlas detrás.

We knew that there would be many kilometers of road. But, we expected to spend more time in the desert. We only went to sleep and left very early the next morning. We were barely able to enjoy the experience of being in the desert. On the other hand, we expected to receive more information about each place we passed by from the driver-guide. Finally, the driver-guide should be the one who decides who sits in front when there are people who get dizzy and vomit and not leave them behind.

Todo perfecto. Una experiencia inolvidable. Nuestro conductor Youssef el mejor. Sin duda repetiría y mas aun si nos vuelve a llevar Youssef. El trayecto fue agradable y nada pesado, nos sentimos super agusto en todo momento. Merece la pena las horas de viaje. Habiamos tenido una mala experiencia con otra agencia unos dias antes y con civitatis salio todo perfecto es mas tuve un inconveniente al hacer la reserva que fue culpa mia y me lo solucionaron sin problema. Experiencia de 10 Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect. An unforgettable experience. Our driver Youssef was the best. I would definitely repeat this experience, and even more so if Youssef takes us again. The trip was pleasant and not at all heavy, we felt super comfortable at all times. The hours of travel were worth it. We had had a bad experience with another agency a few days before and with Civitatis everything went perfectly. What's more, I had a problem when making the reservation that was my fault and they solved it without any problem. A 10/10 experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hemos disfrutado. El trayecto del minibus (15pax)no se hacía pesado hasta el hotel Tifawën.Valle del Dades y del Todra espectaculares. Comidas y cenas en cómputo global buenas y el precio 120dh por menú era el habitual. Excursión por el desierto y las haimas espectaculares, lástima la tormenta de arena que deslució la llegada y el disfrutar del espectáculo fuera y ver las estrellas en ese entorno. En campamento de haimas personal muy amable. Reseñar en especial a Amil (guia) y Fernando conductor Translate this opinion into English.

We enjoyed it. The minibus journey (15 pax) was not long to get to the Tifawën hotel. The Dades and Todra valleys were spectacular. Overall, the meals and dinners were good and the price of 120dh per menu was the usual. The excursion through the desert and the spectacular tents, it was a pity about the sand storm that spoiled the arrival and the enjoyment of the show outside and seeing the stars in that environment. The staff at the tent camp were very friendly. Special mention should be made of Amil (guide) and Fernando, the driver. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una actividad genial, unos compañeros estupendos y nuestro guia HAMIDIZM, el mejor que pudimos tener, amable y dispuesto, aclarando todas nuestras dudas, resaltar que es un muy buen conductor y prudente con nuetra seguridad. Habia llovido en las Montañas del Atlas y eso nos llevo a un retraso de 5h en la llegada al desierto y en consecuencia nos perdimos el viaje en camello de ida y las actividades de la tarde, en contrapartida nos acercaron al campamento en todo terreno por las dunas. Translate this opinion into English.

A great activity, great companions and our guide HAMIDIZM, the best we could have had, kind and helpful, clarifying all our doubts. I must highlight that he is a very good driver and careful with our safety. It had rained in the Atlas Mountains and that led to a 5-hour delay in arriving at the desert and consequently we missed the camel ride there and the afternoon activities. In exchange, they brought us closer to the camp in a 4x4 vehicle through the dunes. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa que repetiríamos mil veces más. Sin duda lo que hizo la diferencia fue Said (nuestro guía) muy amable y atento, respondió a todas nuestras preguntas, nos dio información de todos los lugares por los que pasamos y nos llevó a restaurantes auténticos y muy ricos. Recomiendo 100% pagar el quad y disfrutar de las dunas a toda velocidad. Además, nos gustaría destacar la amabilidad y las buenas vibras de los chicos del campamento. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a wonderful experience that we would repeat a thousand times more. Without a doubt, what made the difference was Said (our guide), very kind and attentive, he answered all our questions, gave us information about all the places we passed by and took us to authentic and delicious restaurants. I 100% recommend paying for the quad and enjoying the dunes at full speed. In addition, we would like to highlight the kindness and good vibes of the guys at the camp. Opinion translated.

Fue una experiencia en general increíble. Los sitios espectaculares y los alojamientos acogedores. Said encantador, muy atento con nosotros y que todo fuese bien, dándonos información en todo momento. Además, muy prudente y tranquilo al volante. La vuelta el último día se hace duro tantas horas. Las comidas geniales, pero más caras que en Marrakech (calcular 12 euros p/p). El pañuelo del puesto bereber destiñe al lavarse, no sé si los del kasbbah, pero merece la pena intentar pillar allí al guía Translate this opinion into English.

It was an amazing experience overall. The sites were spectacular and the accommodation was welcoming. Said was charming, very attentive to us and to make sure everything went well, giving us information at all times. He was also very careful and calm behind the wheel. The return trip on the last day was hard with so many hours. The meals were great, but more expensive than in Marrakech (about 12 euros per person). The handkerchief at the Berber stall fades when washed, I don't know about the ones at the kasbah, but it's worth trying to catch the guide there. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente. El guía encantador, nos enseñó muchos sitios y nos ayudo todo lo posible. Nos lo pasamos increíble e hicimos muchos amigos, volveríamos a repetir sin dudarlo. Lo único que cambiaría es que pudiesemos elegir el sitio donde comer porque los menús no nos gustaron mucho y eran algo caros. Aún asi, recomiendo que lo hagais, lo vais a pasar genial. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent. The guide was lovely, he showed us lots of places and helped us as much as possible. We had a great time and made lots of friends, we would go back without hesitation. The only thing I would change is that we could choose where to eat because we didn't like the menus very much and they were a bit expensive. Even so, I recommend that you do it, you will have a great time. Opinion translated. Show original.

Viaje imprescindible si viajas a marruecos! Todo estuvo genial: el grupo con el que viajamos, la estancia de las dos noches, el viaje a las gargantas de Tedra, el desierto y todas las pequeñas paradas que se hacen por el camino, que complementaron muy bien el largo viaje hasta Merzouga. Lo mejor del viaje fue el trayecto en quad por el desierto, se paga aparte pero es imprescindible. Por último, destacar al conductor Youssef, un crack! Sin él la experiencia no hubiera sido lo mismo. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-do trip if you travel to Morocco! Everything was great: the group we travelled with, the two-night stay, the trip to the Tedra Gorges, the desert and all the little stops along the way, which complemented the long journey to Merzouga very well. The best part of the trip was the quad bike ride through the desert, which is paid for separately but is a must. Lastly, I would like to highlight the driver Youssef, a genius! Without him the experience would not have been the same. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad esta muy buena, sobre todo por la comodidad que representa para aquellos que no desean conducir en Marruecos, especialmente los 550 km entre Marrakech y Merzouga. Hoteles buenos y muy limpios, con desayuno correctos y abundantes. Comemos en un restaurante muy bueno el primer día y en un otro razonable el segundo día. El conductor Youssef siempre muy atento y servicial. El tour merece la pena. Repetiría sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

Inmejorable, 10 de 10. Hamid, nuestro chófer y guía es un encanto, una persona que intenta siempre hacer todo fácil, con buen humor, da muchísima información a pesar de que él es chófer y no guía, habla perfectamente el español, bromista... En fin, un profesional que se nota que le gusta su trabajo y esa pasión la transmite a los excursionistas. Los chicos del campamento superior muy bien también y las instalaciones de las jaimas preciosas, lo único que nos hizo un calor infernal y no hay aire Translate this opinion into English.

Unbeatable, 10 out of 10. Hamid, our driver and guide is a delight, a person who always tries to make everything easy, with good humor, gives a lot of information despite the fact that he is a driver and not a guide, speaks perfect Spanish, joker... In short, a professional who clearly likes his job and transmits this passion to the hikers. The guys at the upper camp were also very good and the facilities of the tents were beautiful, the only thing was that it was infernally hot and there was no air conditioning. Opinion translated.

A pesar de la distancia y de las horas en carretera, nuestro guía Mohamed nos hizo la actividad y el viaje muy amenos (un 10). Empatizó muy bien con las quince personas que compartimos excursión y se mostró colaborativo en todo lo que le pedimos. Realizó correctamente las paradas de descanso exigidas por las horas de conducción y el viaje transcurrió sin incidencias en la carretera. Como factor a corregir, creo que se debería mejorar la intendencia de la parada del almuerzo del viaje de vuelta. Translate this opinion into English.

Despite the distance and the hours on the road, our guide Mohamed made the activity and the trip very enjoyable (a 10). He empathized very well with the fifteen people who shared the excursion and was helpful in everything we asked of him. He correctly made the rest stops required by the hours of driving and the trip went off without incidents on the road. As a factor to correct, I think the stewardship of the lunch stop on the return trip should be improved. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad es increíble y única,pero hay unos puntos a mejorar,uno sería el tiempo de estancia en el desierto para poder disfrutarlo,la otra es la de poner un ventilador en el interior de la Hayma,hace un calor que es casi imposible pegar ojo y la ultima sería recomendable que el viaje de vuelta a la mitad de camino parar a dormir en un Riad ya que hacer casi 1000 kilómetros del tirón y en furgoneta es un poco duro.

The activity is incredible and unique, but there are some points to improve, one would be the length of time spent in the desert to be able to enjoy it, the other is to put a fan inside the Hayma, it is so hot that it is almost impossible to sleep and the last would be to recommend that on the return trip halfway through stop to sleep in a Riad since doing almost 1000 kilometers in one go and in a van is a bit hard.

Excelente excursion, deberia ser algo obligatorio si es que viajas a Marrakesh, en el recorrido aparte de conocer todos esos lugares magnificos, te vas metiendo por ciudades y pueblos mas pequeños de Marruecos donde vas conociendo como es la vida de la gente del lugar, la travesia con los camellos y dorimir en las haimas, es una experiencia , realmente unica y distinta a todo lo que uno hace normalmente, Joussef, siempre bien predidespuesto!!! atento a lo que le pidamos! un genio !!

Excellent excursion, it should be a must if you travel to Marrakesh. On the tour, apart from seeing all these magnificent places, you go through smaller towns and villages in Morocco where you get to know what life is like for the locals, the camel ride and sleeping in tents is a truly unique experience, different from everything you normally do.

El minibús bien. Muchas horas de trayecto, con muchas paradas. El guía genial. Visitas muy bonitas. Yendo en agosto tenía miedo del calor, pero solo pasamos un poco de calor el primer día por la mañana y mediodía. En el desierto nos tocó neblinatormenta de arena, relámpagos y lluvia. El pronóstico no acertó en nada. Superior vale la pena si quieres opción aire acondicionado. Tambien pq haima tiene ventanas -otro no- si hay viento al abrir hace corriente. Los chicos en el campamento unos cracks. Translate this opinion into English.

The minibus was good. The journey was long and long, with many stops. The guide was great. The visits were very nice. I was afraid of the heat going in August, but we only had a bit of heat on the first day in the morning and at noon. In the desert we had fog, sand storms, lightning and rain. The forecast was not right about anything. Superior is worth it if you want the air conditioning option. Also because the tent has windows - another one not - if there is wind when you open it, it creates a draft. The kids at the camp are great. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia estuvo increíble, por nuestra parte la noche que pasamos en el desierto comimos algo que nos sentó mal y los días posteriores estuvimos malos con el estómago, al día siguiente de volver del tour, teníamos otra excursión con civitatis a la que no pudimos asistir por seguir enfermos. Le comentamos el problema a civitatis y nos respondieron sintiéndolo mucho y devolviéndonos el dinero de la excursión que habíamos perdido. La atención por parte de civitatis ha sido excelente.

The experience was incredible. For our part, the night we spent in the desert we ate something that made us sick and the following days we had stomach problems. The day after returning from the tour, we had another excursion with Civitatis that we could not attend because we were still sick. We told Civitatis about the problem and they responded by saying they were very sorry and refunding us the money for the excursion that we had lost.
