Traveler Reviews

È stata un'esperienza molto buona. The guys from the agency have treated us wonderfully, all comforts, very fun and beautiful. Madu, Ebrahim, Brad, thank you, tanmirt. Meeting and spending 4 days with Zaid, our driver and guide, was a real pleasure, we would repeat without hesitation with him, he made us feel like one of his family. He has helped us in everything, given us security, and made us know much more about the country. Zaid is very big! Tanmirt Zaid

We were a group of friends and had little time, so we were able to modify the trip and do the desert of Merzouga in two days and one night, although it was a long way to get to the desert, it is absolutely worth it. Es una experiencia única, tanto los paisajes, contando atardecer, noche totalmente estrellada y amanecer en el desierto, como los organizadores, muy amables, detallistas y alegres. 100% RECOMMENDED

When traveling to unfamiliar places you have a kind of fear, to know that what you are paying for will be met. In this case they exceeded all our expectations, everything was set up perfectly and with friendliness at all times. The hotel in Dades, a beauty, which transports you to live for a moment in a beautiful Riad. The Haimas in él deserts impeccable. I would definitely recommend it to those who want to have an excellent experience with no surprises. We were 1 couple, 2 children and grandparents. Thank you for everything.
