Frequently Asked Questions
We really liked the trip and the driver and guide were super professional.
The staff in all the hotels were friendly courteous and good in their service. The food was always fresh and prepared with great care. !!
I would and will always recommend your driver and Guide. They were confident in their work, focussed, tidy, friendly and personable.
Did the 2 day Atlas Mountain with Toubkal peak and the 4 day Sahara tour.
Guides were great, food was excellent and overall a great experience. I don’t think you can fit much more into a week’s holiday (including travel) as you also have time on the first and last day to visit Marrakech. Very good experience!
Omar was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and most helpful to us in so many ways. He cares about your experience. Most importantly, he provides an authentic (not touristy) experience. You get a better understanding of Berber culture, Moroccan history and current events.
And he is just fine to be with!!!
The camel ride and night in the desert were great fun, the drive was a little long to get there by car. Luckily we stopped at a few beautiful sites along the way. Omar arranged a great driver (Mohamed) and 4 4 . Some good chats had. Highly recommend.
