Huge thanks to Redouane and Yassin. They made our trip awesome. So for the 4 days... going to the dessert while almost 50 degrees isn't the most smart thing to do, I think,(it was soooo hot. You know it will be hot, but this was for us Dutch people crazy ;)) But nevertheless it was an amazing experience! both nights, the hotels were great. Lovely hosts, especially at hotel Babylon. The stops for lunch are not so great... except for the last day, we ate at someone's place and that was the best food we had in those 4 days. We loved it.

Our guide Redouane was great. He was friendly and made us feel at ease and flexible with all of our plans. He is kind and knowledgeable and taught us many things about Morocco and the way of the Berber people. The tour involves a lot of driving but this is necessary to see all the incredible landscapes. It also helps to avoid some of the afternoon heat (sometimes up to 46 degrees in the desert). We never felt obliged to buy anything from various places we stopped at but the opportunities were there provided by our tour guides. Hassan our driver was also excellent and had some true stamina over the 4 days! The tour was excellent value for money with all of our meals and accommodation being amazing for the price we paid. Our guides were two great people and we had an unforgettable experience.

We loved our trip! Our guide, Said, was really nice, high spirited and full of kindness. Accommodation was great, travel to the sand desert was a dream come true, food was nice (especially in the desert camp!). The road trip back to Marrakech through the mountains made us surrender to the amazing beauty of this country. We highly recommend this tour for a private, safe and more flexible immersion in Morocco.
