U can trust & feeling relaxing nothing need to worry about. Whatever what you want they will try to fulfill yours. The car 4×4 is comfortable. I am a solo female traveler from UK during the trip i felt safe chilling…. My tour guide ” Said” was knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, caring. So if someone who want to do a desert. I highly recommend Visit Morocco Sahara Travel company for everyone.

Memorable Morocco Excursion

I worked directly with Said via WhatsApp to book our 8 days tour from Marrakech to Fes – Merzouga – Chefchaouen. He was very quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I thought his price was fair and the accommodations he picked were really nice. We definitely felt like we were in good hands from the start. absolutely loved our driver Ibrahim! I felt like were in good hands from the start. My husband and I were worried about spending so much time with a guide, but Ibrahim was so fun and we quickly became friends…

10 Days Trip From Marrakech

10 days 9 nights trip from Marrakech to Fes, Chefchaouen  and  Casablanca with Mohamed & Said, nothing was ever a hassle, they knew all the stops for great views and photos & both really made our trip so enjoyable fun. We had alot of laughs & learnt alot about Berbers (good riddles) and always felt like we were in safe hands. Accomodation was perfect & Mohamed was always thoughtful about everything and always ensured were happy. Highlight was the camel ride, feeding monkeys in Cedar forest & sunset in the Sahara dunes. We wish we could of spent more time with them & feel now we have a Berber amigo!
