Perfect trip for first time travelers to Morocco, ideal to get a taste of the country outside the main cities. The trip will take you from the Atlas Mountains, through inner valleys and gorges to the very far desert. You will see a great variety of climates and landscapes changing before your eyes as you head toward Merzouga. Personally, we especially enjoyed Ait Ben Haddou, Todra and the magical experience of the camel ride at sunset and sunrise in the desert - a highlight of the experience, highly recommended! Our guide Ali was exceptionally friendly, kind and so insightful on all the aspects of the lifestyle, traditions and culture of the Berber communities. He helped us navigating through the souks and gave great recommendations along the way for future trips to Morocco. We were delighted to meet him and have him as our guide and friend for journey. We loved every stop along the way and wish it could have lasted longer. Until next time!

This tour was an amazing experience. It really exceeded all of our expectations. Although the journey from Marrakech to Zagora was long, it was broken down perfectly with multiple stops. Our driver Said really made this trip even better ! Throughout the drive Said taught us a lot about the history of the country as well as the many different places we passed on the way. Once we got to the camp, the camp leaders socialized with us and entertained us making it a really unforgettable night. The camp itself was amazing and the tents very comfortable and warm. It's been a beautiful experience I would recommend to anyone ! Nothing could beat seeing the milky way at night in the desert.

What a life experience! Me and my girlfriend had the best local tour ever with Aziz Talaoul, having the opportunity to discover Marocco and the Berber culture with locals through all the 5 senses. Even the food was delicious, in particular the lunch we had in an authentic Berber house (“chez L’habitant”) with Hicham and his family around At Tamdakhate. We would totally recommend it to all the adventurers who want to go back at home richer of experience and full of great memories!

Esperienza impeccabile, organizzazione perfetta, comfort di viaggio ottimo, esperienza da 10 e lode. Mohammed il miglior driver in assoluto di tutto il Marocco, ragazzo d’oro. Accompagna, ti fa conoscere suoi amici che ti porteranno in negozi e ristoranti tipico inarrivabile per un semplice turista. Se prenotate con questo tour operator chiedete espressamente di lui, non ve ne pentirete. Provare per credere.

We had an excellent time on this tour. Our guide Aziz was very enthusiastic showing us the different aspects of Berber culture. On top of that, he was very attentive to our well-being and a good, safe driver. The sights (desert!!) were amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this tour when you have the time in your schedule.
