Our driver and guide picked us up on time. Our guide spoke very good English and provided a detailed insight into the history of the area and the lifestyle for the locals. We had some amazing photo opportunities of the Roman causeway, salt lake, old granary buildings that were used for Star Wars filming locations, and unique berber villages. The tour included a meal which was very filling. I recommend taking change for tips and some money for drinks. Thank you for this memorable experience.

Our guide is very knowledgeable and he gives us a lot of information. It’s a bit awkward because most people are French speakers and I have no clue about French but our guide will also explain for me in English. The trip is well designed, they arranged visit villages, star wars set and dessert and oasis, so basically you can see everything in this tour. The attractions are okay, people are extremely friendly here so the experience is great.
