We booked them for the overnight desert experience including the camel riding which was such amazing trip! We came on our own car from Marrakech to Merzouga, where we met Mohamed and went over and beyond his duties to ensure that we all feel safe and comfortable. We left our car in safe parking, have the camel ride for more than one-hour, tried sandboarding, and had the overnight in a luxury desert camp. We shared many stories with our guide answering all our questions and had fun around the camp-fire. I highly recommend this desert experience!

Trips to the desert and imperial cities to Morocco are a very good option to connect with the country. Imperial cities offer souks, handicrafts, architectures and ways of life different from those we are used to in the West, in addition to that authentic and indigenous air that makes the traveler live the essence of culture. The stop in the Sahara desert will fill us with peace and tranquility. The sunset between the dunes and the night at the camp will make the trip unforgettable. For us, our main objective is to make travelers enjoy, disconnect from the routine and feel special.

My best friend and I were originally supposed to take another tour with another company, which fell through at the last minute. Talk about fortuitous!!! We could not have been happier with the tour and especially our driver Omar! Wow. Omar was so very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. And what a sense of humor! He geared the entire trip around what we wanted to do, and would stop anywhere we wanted to stop (“ooooh Omar- what’s that?” “Would you like to stop?”) My friend and I (we are both American) ended up taking the tour with a Russian couple and by the second day it felt as though all 5 of us had already been friends who decided to go on road trip together. The places we were scheduled to stop were beautiful, safe and friendly. The night at the Berber village was fantastic, where we took a desert camel ride at sunset and then another the next morning (don’t let “camel trek” scare you off. It’s not much time spent on the camel) at night there were drums and singing by firelight, with about 10 other travelers from different treks. And let me tell you I have never seen stars like the ones I saw in the Sahara. I didn’t want to even blink so as to soak up every moment. If you are in Fes and on your way to Marrakech, this is the way to do it. This company also does other routes so check in with them if that’s not your exact direction. Whichever way you go, take your time and soak up as much of the local culture as possible. If you’re a shy traveler, it’s a great way to meet other travelers and really learn about and get a feel for local flavor. Its very affordable and if you are lucky enough to get Omar as your driver, any questions you may have will be answered with aplomb. Can you tell I cannot say enough good things about Omar? He really made sh*t happen. One more tip: if you are planning on renting a car and driving in Morocco, I would advise against it as a foreigner, especially if you do not speak Arabic. I was planning on driving myself from Marrakech to Chefchaouen and cancelled the car reservation upon arrival to Marrakech after seeing how many police checkpoints there are throughout Morocco. Having a government sanctioned/licensed tour company like this one is your best and safest way to go, with far less hassle from the police. Have fun and I hope you enjoy Morocco as much as we did!

Must do in Morocco. We had a 3-day tour (Marrakesh-Fes) with our guide Omar and it was amazing. Omar was very punctual, he told us a lot about the country and the places we visited. During the journey, we felt the real Africa, experienced the difference between civilization and desert. We were surprised how many unique places we visited just in 3 days. Authentic cities, canyons, gorges, Berber camp, camels, and even wild monkeys! The camp in the desert was very comfortable and clean. Special thanks to Hassan from the camp - he taught us to play drums :) Said who was communicating with us at the very beginning was responding rapidly and gave us useful advices. Thank you all once again for this unforgettable experience!

The tour company we booked with was Deep Morocco Tours. Our guide, Hamid, was excellent. His vehicle, a Mercedes SUV, was clean and comfortable. Hamid graciously allowed us ample time to take a multitude of photos of the goats in the trees on our way to Essaouira. He then spent most of the day doing exactly what we loved doing ... SHOPPING! We told him he didn’t have to stay with us while we went through almost every shop in town but he chose to stay with us even after one of us had to buy an extra suitcase to bring more souvenirs home. He pulled the suitcase around town while it was filled. What a guy! He took us to a lovely rooftop restaurant that overlooked the Atlantic for a fabulous seafood lunch. What a pleasant, relaxing day. The icing on the cake was when he contacted us a day later to let us know I forgot my bag of Argan oil in his vehicle. Somehow it slid up under the seat and I didn’t notice it missing. He even delivered it to our hotel. I highly recommend this company and Hamid as a guide. It was the best day out of the 4 we spent in Marrakech.

Not worth it at all. Spent the entire time driving around in a car. Had a few stops to look at the sites. Not much to see in Casablanca. Just go to Hassan II on your own. The worst part was being taken to an authentic Moroccan art display... you mean a rug shop where they try to get you to buy overpriced rugs. Not worth it at all. The driver was great though.

What can I say, the whole experience was seamless. I contacted many companies about our planned trip from Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga. None of the standard trips suited our itinerary so it had to be customised. Younes replied straight away and was very helpful with suggestions even before we had confirmed anything. His price for our trip was the most reasonable with some other companies quoting double or triple the price. Our trip with Younes was perfect and he was a wonderful guide over the 2 days to the desert. We felt that he really cared for our wellbeing and was looking out for us the whole time. Due to our itinerary we could not continue with him from Merzouga to Fes, but he found transport for us that was cheaper than we could find elsewhere. The driver on this leg of our trip was also amazing and Younes was in contact with us the whole time to make sure we were looked after. Don’t hesitate to book a tour or transport with Younes as he is one of the most genuine people we have met and was always able to find a solution for our travel obstacles.

Marrocos is colorful and exotic. We chose to go in a group. But the tour had many stressful moments. We had to walk 7 km in Fez' Medina , no way to leave the group. The guide wanted us to visit places where HE wanted us to go, it was stressful... no time to enjoy and take pictures as we wished. The hotels were nice , but most of the days we arrived late , 9 PM more or less and had to leave around 8 AM. The desert experience was vey nice and well organized, but again no time to enjoy the town and the hotel. My wife and I have knees problens , the guide didn´t care for that . The tour can be done, but in Fez and in Marrakesh , leave the group and take a private tour.
