Well-planned tour

Had an amazing tour with Rasheed Iddir and got to see some stunning Moroccon sights. I genuinely enjoyed the trip. One piece of advice: The ATV tour on the third day is catered towards beginners and will bore anyone who is more experienced.

My overall experience

My overall experience was good I feel like they didn’t say everything we actually did when we were booking it there was some stuff that wasn’t on the booking list like hiking and some other stuff I thought we were going straight to the desert it would of been better if they let us know these things so we can be more prepared but overall it was good my guide and driver mehdi and yassin were amazing 10/10 they made everything better

Desert

A long trip that feels short thanks to the guide (Medhi) and the driver, with all the necessary stops and excursions through different sites until reaching the desert. The desert is a unique experience and I would do it a thousand times over.

3-day excursion to the Merzouga-Sahara desert

Excellent excursion with a fantastic group and guide. Medhi has been present at every moment, explaining everything in detail and worrying about anything the tourists might need. He has helped us with everything and has managed to unite the whole group. He has been a very cheerful and approachable person, he connects very well with people and makes them have a great time. I would love to go on an excursion with Medhi again. I would also like to add that the driver was very kind.
