Recommendations

I took a three-day tour to Morocco, including a night in the desert. I had a great time on the trip, Omar was fantastic and became a dear friend, and there was nothing I couldn't ask for. The night in the desert was incredible; luxury camping is exactly that. I enjoyed the entire trip since all of the Berbers were really welcoming. It comes highly recommended.

My companion and I planned a three-day vacation with a private driver, Ali, who took us from Marrakesh to the Sarah Desert in Morocco. We had a great time stopping along the way to see the sights, take photos, eat, and buy for souvenirs. We slept in a Berber town for a night, saw the Game of Thrones set, and so much more. Ali, our driver, was punctual, competent, kind, knowledgeable, and courteous at all times. He made both my companion and me feel protected and at ease. Being from the United States and traveling to a foreign nation, these are the qualities you want when spending three days with a total stranger. By the end of the journey, my companion and I had come to see Ali not only as our driver, but also as a friend. This company and driver come highly recommended by me.
