We have Younes as a driver and he was excellent. Great experience, highly recommended. We did many stops in order to not be tired from the long trip. Food was average.

During the drive we did many pauses and stops that were well planned on the route (argan oil coparative, rug coparative to learn about their techniques). We walked through Nomad villages and always had a local guide who could answer our questions.
Breakfast (bread, confiture, Msemen, etc) and dinner (3 courses: soup, tajine, fruits) was included - you could always ask for a vegetarian option! For lunch we had 1,5h breaks and could decide on our own how and where to spend it.
The accomodation was really nice for both nights. The hotel in Tinghir even had a pool and nice terasse! The tents in the desert camp were of different size (2/3/4 beds). Everything was clean and we had a fun time. Also a really fun (and free) experince was the sandboarding (without instruction but kind of self explainatory).
Some critics: the communication wasn‘t so good. We did have a whatsapp group but when we left the bus no one really knew what was going to happen or were we would go (even though it was always really nice you were a little overwhelmed). In the desert instead of the camel I would wish for the choice of going to the camp by car without paying extra. We just walked (around 50 minutes, same speed as the camels) and it was fine in the morning on the way back, but in the afternoon going to the camp it was really hot and exhausting. Sometimes the stops (e.g. „Berber family“) seemed really staged and only for the purpose of buying things.
Our guide Mohamed (who was with us the whole time on the bus) was really nice and friendly. He was really attentive and even arranged things sponteaneously (Taxi for the ones who were not going back to Marrakech, people who in the last moment decided they want to do the camel ride, etc.). The driver Karim was also really nice and knows the streets well (even if for tourists it sometimes seems crazy).
All in all, it was a really nice trip and we met many nice people and sat with our group most of the time inbetween the activities.
I can recommend the trip but you should be aware that it is a lot of walking (in the sun) and also lots of hours on the bus.
We travelled as a group of 4 friends :)

I loved the whole trip. It was AMAZING! What a unique experience! I cannot recommend it enough! You get to experience one of the most beautiful part of Morocco and the world.
From the Gorges of Todgha where you see the natural canyons and their immensity and beauty to the simple things of being welcomed by a berbere family in their village and home where they invite you to drink a cup of tea and show you how they live such a simple and humble life. So much hospitality! You also get to stay in a beautiful luxury hotel near the desert the day before going to the desert and sleeping in a tent, what a constrast! and the desert was definitely my favorite place of them all! So much beauty and the people are so welcoming they make you feel at home in this vast immensity that is the desert! At night you can also witness the stars like you probably never did before in your life. I will never forget such a sight! Special thanks to our guide Mohammed and our driver Karim they were the best! 💙💙💙🇲🇦🇲🇦

A great trip! Lots of activities and it was amazing being in the Sahara. Recommend the ATVs for sunrise. There is a lot of driving on this trip (obviously) but it’s manageable!
Younes was a great driver! Safe travels and plenty of stops when the group needed it along the way. Pick up and drop off included was super helpful. Great communication from the company via WhatsApp.

Younas our guide was wonderful. Overall this is one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Going through the sand dunes of the Sahara was a once in a lifetime opportunity and Younas kept everyone prepared and in good spirits with his love of “The Weeknd”.
