Ando Travel Agency made the whole experience incredible and seamless. Youssef took care of us for the 3 days and Auberges Sahara topped it off with an amazing experience in the desert. Cannot fault any of the food or accommodation. Will be recommending Ando Travel to family and friends.

My recent tour in Morocco was an absolute delight, largely thanks to our exceptional driver, Omar. His expertise, kindness, and genuine hospitality made our experience truly unforgettable. From navigating the city windy roads to sharing hidden gems, Omar went above and beyond to ensure our journey was seamless and memorable. If you're planning a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend this tour – it’ll make your adventure one for the books.

Very beautiful views during the tour. Great experience in the Sahara riding camels, eating and entertainment. We had long drives but we made stops along the way which made it much easier.

Everything went very well. On the way to the Mezourga desert we stopped at several points to take photos and learn a little about the cities and culture. In the desert the activities were incredible. I recommend choosing the 4x4 as it is really worth it. We walked through the dunes which was super super fun. The trip to the camp also went really well. The walk on the dromedary was better than I expected, they are animals that are well cared for and are very calm and super docile. At the camp, the interaction between different people of different nationalities was very interesting and fun and with all this helping our guides always cheer up. It was excellent. A special thanks and excellent recommendation to our guide during the trip, Mohamed, who was excellent with us, and an excellent driver.
