    The tour was amazing. Our driver Abdou picked us up close to our Riad in Marrakesh and we started the journey. We visited berber villages, the todra canyon and of course had the camel ride in the sunset of the sahara desert. It was amazing and something I never saw and experiencend before. Abdou was always open for the questions of our group and explained to us everything we wanted to know and in the end he drove all of us as close as possible to our riads in Fes.

    Geweldige ervaring! Het is een lange reis met de bus, maar absoluut de moeite waard. Ook ben ik zeer te spreken over onze ervaren en zeer vriendelijke chauffeur Abdou, die ons de gehele reis heeft begeleid. Al met al top ervaring!

    Very good guide yusef showed a lot of information and explained what is happening in the day. Incredible experience in the desert on the camels would recommend

    Overall very pleased with the Marrakech to Fes via desert trip. Very well organised. The driver, Hussain, was extremely helpful - had left my passport in the desert camp and he rang around all our previous stays and organised a car to go back to the place and luckily got my passport back. They hire local guides in a couple of places - mixed quality and the usual going to overpriced shops and in one place the guide charged more than had been agreed. Ando Travel said they would follow up. Last points not to detract from an overall good experience that I would recommend.

    This is a one in a lifetime experience we had in our bucket list. The 3 days allowed for us to know different cities, fabulous landscapes and delicious food. We were picked up at our hotel and our guide Samir, even though his English was very basic, was very respectful, responsible and friendly. Sleeping in the tent was special, I highly recommend to pay extra for the luxury of having a bathroom inside and if you are going in the month of May, please pack a portable fan, it will help you sleep better.

    We signed up for the 3 day Sahara Desert tour from Marrakech to Fez. We were transported in a large van which easily accommodated 7 of us plus the driver. The driver chose to not talk unless questioned and did not tell us very much regarding the areas we passed through or our time schedule. Three stops were made for pictures during the three days, one at our request. Lunch was poor. The first night stay was not good…poor quality Riad or hotel. The people were friendly, but hotel conditions were poor. Rated 8.2, but more like 4.2. Dinner at 8:45 and a family music presentation consisting of drums and costumes being put on willing participants. No hot water for showers…others said they had no cold water😳 Second day journey, we were joined by a guide at the first stop who walked us through a Berber farming area and then back to the Berber area of the town where we were taken for a tea at a local rug store…surprise! Proceeded with their sales story…no one interested in rugs. Guide (who was vey knowledgable, kind and excited to impart his knowledge to us)…stayed with us until our next stop at the gorges. Lunch was good. Camel ride to tent was 1.5 hours…we were told 45 min…maybe longer to the the “luxury” camp…had we known the length of ride, we would have chosen to pay the 5-10 euros for a truck ride! (we are both in our 70’s 😑)…still quite sore after 3 days! Camel ride was good…downside was the constant passing of quads/trucks trough the trekking lines of camels…seemed to take a lot out of “authentic camel ride” through the desert. Luxury Camp…later talking with the others in our original group who chose the basic camp…the upgrades for luxury camp were being in room with flushing toilets and the opportunity to take a cold to lukewarm shower before bed. The king bed came sheets that fit half the bed and left mattress exposed for your feet…the comforter had no cover and was dirty. Dinner not very good and Berber music? Left early morning in a truck with the luggage…having to pay 10 euros. Ride to Fez was long, as expected…heavy rains and some sleet in the Atlas mts. I write this as a person who has traveled extensively to 3rd world countries on medical missions and have voluntarily experienced far worse conditions. We just find it ironic that we paid 600+Euros for this poorly run experience. To be expected, constant tipping…take plenty of change and snacks if find the food does not suit you. I do not like to write negative reviews…I just wish I had read reviews like mine before…I would have limited my expectations of sitting in the desert watching the sunset…the sun set behind us as we trekked to the camp after others chose to sand surf…reality much different. Perhaps, check other options and read many reviews of the specific tour you choose. Wishing everyone happy travels…

    Mazouzi, our driver, was great! Always felt comfortable and informed on where we were going/what was coming up next. Overall the trip was solid, well planned out and the desert portion was amazing. Was a little weary of getting scammed after reading some poor reviews of some Sahara tours but never felt pressured to buy anything and everything was quite professional. One criticism would be that the lunches were eaten at a predetermined restaurant and were a little bit expensive and not amazing so I would recommend you bring some of your own food if possible. Other than that I had a great time and once again our driver was pure class, I really enjoyed my journey with zouzi

    Said was an absolute joy to have as our guide and driver. Perfect communicator, great English, awesome sense of humor, knowledgeable about the areas, indulged us even in our small requests to learn and see things. A family man with good values and very respectable. Highly recommend him.
