Great sites along the way, many drawbags -booked english tour, everybody else spoke spanish(driver's english rather bad) -u get pushed to buy stuff like souvenirs all the time(although tour very expensive already) -restaurants for lunch very touristy, just as the whole trip -often no vegetarian option, u don't even get asked(probably should tell them before, just a heads up) -driver Hamed seems stuck in the past/sexist; always talked to me(m), never to my friend(f) Driver Yahya to Fès was great!

The provider tries to organise the tour in the most comfortable and complete way for all participants, always following the subject of the tour and recommending altertanive products and services. On the other hand, the guides try to adjust to the contents of the tour, trying to make the experience as enriching as possible in every language, even when it is not his mother tongue. We apologise that this excursion was not exactly as you expected.

Ha sido una excursión maravillosa. Me ha encantado el guía que nos ha llevado hasta el desierto (Hamed), una persona con mucho conocimiento que ha hecho que el viaje sea espectacular. El desierto una experiencia muy especial, con mucho frío eso sí. La comida podría ser mejor pero la cena estaba buena. Un rato de desconexión muy necesario. A la vuelta desde el desierto hasta fez nos ha llevado mohamed saiout. Muy amable, nos ha regalado agua y ha parado donde queríamos hacer fotos. Translate this opinion into English.

It has been a wonderful excursion. I have loved the guide who has taken us to the desert (Hamed), a person with a lot of knowledge who has made the trip spectacular. The desert is a very special experience, with a lot of cold, yes. The food could be better but dinner was good. A much-needed break. On the way back from the desert to fez, Mohamed Saiout has taken us. Very friendly, he gave us water and stopped where we wanted to take photos. Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión merece mucho la pena. Aunque es bastante tiempo en carretera, se hacen muchas paradas y se ven sitios espectaculares. Además, hacer mención especial a nuestro conductor durante los dos días. Hamid. Durante todo el viaje fue muy cercano con nosotros y nos explicó muchísimas cosas muy interesantes sobre el país y la cultura. Nos cuido mucho y se preocupo en todo momento por todos nosotros. Para mi, excursión de 10! Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion is well worth it. Although it takes a long time on the road, many stops are made and spectacular sites are seen. Also, make special mention of our driver during the two days. Hamid. Throughout the trip he was very close to us and explained many very interesting things about the country and the culture. I take great care of us and worry at all times for all of us. For me, excursion of 10! Opinion translated. Show original.

Son muchas horas de viaje, unas 18h entre los 3 días y hay paradas que resultan demasiado breves. Taoufik (nuestro chófer) fue muy amable y atento. La experiencia en el desierto (la premium) fue genial, excepto que por la noche el momento del baile no tiene nada de exótico o tradicional. Se podría dedicar ese momento para ver las estrellas o explicar cómo se pone el turbante en el desierto. El 4x4 no lo vimos, fuimos todo el tiempo en furgoneta o minibús. Translate this opinion into English.

There are many hours of travel, about 18h between the 3 days and there are stops that are too short. Taoufik (our driver) was very kind and attentive. The experience in the desert (the premium one) was great, except that at night the moment of the dance has nothing exotic or traditional about it. This time could be used to see the stars or explain how to put on a turban in the desert. We did not see the 4x4, we went all the time in a van or minibus. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour al desierto fue una experiencia genial. El guía Ayoub muy atento en todo momento. El hotel de la primera noche muy sencillo, pero el campamento de la noche en el desierto fantástico. Cogimos el alojamiento superior, y por lo que nos contaron gente que estaba en el estándar había bastante diferencia. Recomendamos el tour, aunque el último día a Fez se hace pesado tanto bus, pero es lo que hay con esas distancias. Translate this opinion into English.

The desert tour was a great experience. The guide Ayoub very attentive at all times. The hotel for the first night was very simple, but the camp for the night in the desert was fantastic. We took the superior accommodation, and from what people who were in the standard told us there was quite a difference. We recommend the tour, although the last day in Fez is heavy with so many buses, but it is what it is with those distances. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividades fue increíble! Visitamos muchas cosas interesantes! Por poner una pega los restaurantes donde se para a comer son precios cerrados y a precios más turísticos que en otros sitios. Pero la experiencia es increible! agradecer a nuestro guía Ayoub su maravilloso trabajo! Sin él la excursión no hubiese sido lo mismo. Nos explicaba muchas cosas y siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar. Os recomiendo vivir la experiencia con él! Translate this opinion into English.

The activities were amazing! We visited many interesting things! To put a snag, the restaurants where you stop to eat are closed prices and at more touristic prices than in other places. But the experience is incredible! thank our guide Ayoub for his wonderful work! Without him the tour would not have been the same. He explained many things to us and was always willing to help. I recommend you live the experience with him! Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión transcurrió según el prrograma, el guía Ayoub profesional y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento, acompañandonos hasta q nos recogió el personal de nuestro riad en Fez. La noche en el desierto espectacular, al campamento fuimos en quad y volvimos en dromedario, todo muy bien, y el campamento superior precioso y con todas las comodidades. El hotel de la primera noche estaba muy aislado, con lo que no te puedes dar un paseo al llegar. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion went according to the program, the guide Ayoub professional and willing to help at all times, accompanying us until the staff of our riad in Fez picked us up. The night in the spectacular desert, we went to the camp by quad and came back by dromedary, all very well, and the upper camp is beautiful and with all the comforts. The hotel for the first night was very isolated, so you can't take a walk when you arrive. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo fue acorde al planning. Muchas paradas antes y después del desierto (que se agradecen mucho). El guía Ayoub estuvo todo el viaje muy pendiente de nosotros y nos explicaba muchas cosas de cada sitio que visitamos. El precio incluye ida y vuelta al campamento con dromedario, una vez alli ofrecen la opción de ir en quad por 70€ el quad (pueden ir dos). Recomendamos 100% ir en quad y volver en dromedario. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything went according to plan. Lots of stops before and after the desert (which are much appreciated). The guide Ayoub was very attentive to us throughout the trip and explained many things about each site we visited. The price includes a round trip to the camp with a dromedary, once there they offer the option of going on a quad for €70 per quad (two can go). We 100% recommend going on a quad and coming back on a dromedary. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia increíble, nuestro guía Ayoub, que nos acompaño durante los tres dias, es magnífico, controla muchos idiomas y entre ellos el español perfecto. Realmente lo echaremos de menos. Los sitios a visitar son una maravilla, Kasbah de Ait Ben Haddou nos dejo más que impresionados, el Valle del Dades y las gargantas del Todra son increíbles. La noche en el campamento del desierto de Merzouga fue algo mágico. (aconsejo llevar mucho abrigo, la noche en el desierto es frio en invierno) Translate this opinion into English.

An incredible experience, our guide Ayoub, who accompanied us during the three days, is magnificent, he controls many languages and among them the perfect Spanish. We will really miss him. The places to visit are wonderful, the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou left us more than impressed, the Dades Valley and the Todra gorges are incredible. The night in the Merzouga desert camp was something magical. (I recommend bringing a warm coat, the night in the desert is cold in winter) Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión lleva a un trocito aislado de desierto en Marruecos, que es muy hermoso (aunque pequeño) y en el camino se ven paisajes fantásticos. Los peros son muchos en relación con el hospedaje, el guía y (algo) la sostenibilidad de la experiencia. Pasamos frío o mucho frío, el "guía" (Hamed) era un transportista a la caza de comisiones (sus restaurantes, sus tiendas de regalos, sus amigos), y tuvimos cero autonomía: hicimos lo que quisieron, cuando quisieron y al precio que quisieron.

The tour takes you to an isolated piece of desert in Morocco, which is very beautiful (although small) and fantastic landscapes are seen along the way. The buts are many in relation to the accommodation, the guide and (somewhat) the sustainability of the experience. We were cold or very cold, the "guide" (Hamed) was a commission-hunting driver (his restaurants, his gift shops, his friends), and we had zero autonomy: we did what they wanted, when they wanted, and at the price they wanted. they wanted

La excursión en sí merece mucho la pena para poder ver muchos puntos del país en un viaje corto. Pero sin duda el viaje fue mejor gracias a nuestro guía Ali, se entregó 100% para que disfrutáramos al máximo y estuvo en todo momento pendiente de nuestras necesidades. Además de llevarnos a los sitios, nos habló de la cultura y vida de Marruecos, siendo Bereber de nacimiento, por lo que nos introdujo de primera mano en el ambiente. ¡Y no faltó la fiesta junto al fuego! Muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion itself is well worth it to be able to see many parts of the country in a short trip. But without a doubt, the trip was better thanks to our guide Ali, he gave himself 100% so that we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest and he was attentive to our needs at all times. In addition to taking us to the sites, he told us about the culture and life of Morocco, being a Berber by birth, so he introduced us first hand to the environment. And there was no lack of party by the fire! highly recommended Opinion translated. Show original.
