Rachida is a great place and an impressive kindness and professionalism. I have travelled alone and I have not been alone. Thank you for this great time Mame Ndoye

A beautiful desert tour with impressive scenery and equally impressive people!

Our driver Salah was great and drove us safely to the most important places of the trip, guide Ibrahim told interesting information about it. The greatest experience was the camel ride at sunset in the dunes of the Sahara, the great dinner at the desert camp and the dreamlike sunrise in the desert. We were impressed by the warmth and joy of life of the people!

Brilliant experience with Youbby

It was a fantastic experience, our tour guide Youbby was very helpful the whole way through, and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend both the trip itself as it was both fun and informative on the history of the area and people, as well as recommend youbby's services. Big thank you to the organisers who made the itinerary and arranged everything, it was extremely smooth and they even reached out prior to confirm the details about the pick up location, how long we'd be there and what to bring etc.

Morocco under the snow!!!!

There was a quid pro quo on the course of the 2 days. As a result, the distance has been far too long for our family. On the other hand the care of Adnan, our driver was impeccable, pleasant and understanding, a big thank you to him.

Misleading

The description of this tour was terrible. The amount of hours spent in the van were astronomical and never mentioned. The Day 2 description on the website was just a copy of Day 1 so didn’t describe anything. The van driver spoke zero English even though the website implies we would have an English speaking guide. There was only 1 breakfast included although the website says 2, the photograph of camels on dunes in the tour description was not even close to where we were. We were not in the Sahara Desert and there were NO dunes. On day 2, there was a blizzard in the mountains and the road was closed so we had to drive all the way around The Atlas Mountains and add 8 hours to our drive. That I even understand was outside the control of the tour operator, but after 13 hours in the van with a driver unable to communicate with any of us, I may never book with Viator again because the descriptions were so inaccurate
