Reviews about our 3 days desert tour Marrakech to Fes

It’s the best choice ever! (3 days Marrakech to Fes desert tour)

I made the impulsive decision to travel to Morocco in April with my closest buddy. The 3 days Marrakech to Fes desert tour looked like the best way to see much of the countryside because we needed more time.

Said was great at corresponding with and supporting us at the latest minute.

I sent letters to several tour operators and chose this one solely on the basis of skill, and I was not let down. When Youssef saw us at the hotel, he gave us his word that everything would be well. Our driver/tour guide, Addi, was highly informative and helpful. He nearly made driving in Morocco appear risk-free. The desert camp was great, and the hotel lived up to expectations.

Addi and Company were kind and willing to customize our experience to our exact specifications. Also, when we compared costs with those of others who had booked the same trips with other agencies, it was clear that Morocco Day Tour’s prices were more than fair.

I recommend this tour agency and use them again.

Fantastic 3 days private desert tour from Marrakech to Fes

We had a Marrakech to Fes desert tour for 3 days. This experience is so marvelous. Said and his friends provided us with reasonable accommodations, a 4×4 vehicle, and an enjoyable driver who could speak graceful English.

You may pause to enjoy the many extraordinary locations along the route to the Sahara desert. Brahim, our driver, took the time to explain the background of these locations to us. He also helped us a lot when we talked with someone who couldn’t speak English.

In the desert, we had a warm tent with a private bathroom and hot water (a superior option), and Hassan prepared a traditional Moroccan dinner for us. This was the best meal we had in Morocco.

I appreciated everyone in this agency. I really recommend them to everyone. When I visit Sahara next time, I would definitely like to choose them.

Maruf Amahle

It is a great desert tour. I heartily endorse

We did a 3 days Marrakesh to Fes desert tour. Mohamed was great at organizing the trip and answering any questions. Ahmed, our driver, was always patient and knowledgeable about the local area.

The accommodation was very high quality, with the tents in the desert exceeding our expectations, including showers and proper toilets!

It was funny to feed the barbary apes in Azrou’s cedar forest.

I would thoroughly recommend the tour!
