Hakeem was an AMAZING tour guide! This was the best part of our entire Moroccan vacation. I would recommend everyone do this tour. It's a good amount of travel in the bus but plenty of stops along the way. Our group got along really well and some even ended up traveling together after this tour was over. I have lots of really good pictures and memories from this. Such a GREAT value for so much!!

My best friend and I had a spectacular time on this tour! All of the destinations are so incredible. We saw so many Berbere ruins, every oasis, monkeys, canyons, and camels! The tour takes you through so much of the country that one would otherwise not see, but the long road trip allows you to see so so much. Our tour guide, Douzi (Dozi), made it truly so special; he was the heart of this trip. He spoke French, Arabic, Spanish, and English fluently and answered every one of our questions. Like, every SINGLE question. About the landscape, Islamic and BerBere culture, agricultural practices, and was able to offer recommendations for every city we’d visit after the tour! Some tips: 1. Bring cheap/toss-away sunglasses with you while riding through the Sahara dunes; they will scratch, and you will be sad if they are nice. Also, avoid using film or digital cameras while in the dunes. The sand nearly ruined both of ours 😬 2. If you can, request from your driver to sit in the front seats! You can see so much more of the countryside and ask every question that crosses your mind! Highly recommend! 3. Buy snacks at WC and cafe stops for the drive! And share with Douzi!

I am very well travelled and have taken many tours. And this has to be the worst tour I’ve been on. It was very poorly organized, 1 tour guide for 2 busses. Whole 3 days consisted of ensuring where everyone was. Abdel, the tour guide was very rude and not informative. Used the microphone once at the very start of trip and did not again. Had no idea of what anything was or what we were stopping for. The food was horrendous and over priced (Definitely Abdel was getting commission from the restaurants). The bus broke down for hours and then kept getting pulled over by the police for speeding tickets. I waited to get home to write the review as we were harassed to write good reviews. Beautiful country, and highly recommend visiting. Just use a different tour company!

Our trip was quite amazing especially our guide Hassan and driver Javed who did a very good job. I think people make the place and the hospitality of everyone at the tour was amazing.

Great experience overall, very well organized tour. It covers many areas and highlights in little time but it is well paced and very scenic, so it is not overwhelming. Our driver/guide Dozi made trip even more enjoyable, he took great care of us and is very friendly and professional. He also gave a lot of input about local culture, helping us to better understand it. Definitely would recommend this trip, it will be highlight of any Morocco journey

We spent 3 days being driven and guided by Dozi around Morocco and it was a fantastic experience! It was our first trip to Aftica and we hd our young children with us. Dozi made us feel totally safe and taken care of. He is a highly experienced, responsible, punctual, fun, warm and kind person. We were very impressed by the level of organization of this tour. It was a beautiful and absolutely unforgettable experience for our family. The only thing we wished for is for there to be more children on the tour with us. Highly recommend it to families as well as anyone else in search of safe adventure and cultural immersion!
