The activities per se were nice and well placed in between the long journey. The stays were really good. The lunch stops were not as good, you could well survive for the time but it was mediocre quality or expensive or both. The driver, aka guide, could have been more talkative. With us, speaking one of his languages it was nice but for the others, more often the announcement was "break and walk for 30 minutes" when we arrived at a place where there was so much to savor. We do recommend the activity. It is an excellent way to see a lot of the country and yet have the opportunity to get in touch.

We felt this was good value for money, and the perfect way to go from Marrakesh to Fez, squeezing in a desert tour. I must say we did not do some of the things advertised here (like the Atlas Studios, or walking tour in Rissani or "travel into the dawn towards the border with Algeria"). But I'm also not sure where you'd be able to do those things, the program was pretty packed as it was with a lot of km to cover. We also had to pay for the guide in the UNESCO Kasbah, which took us by surprise because we thought it was part of the tour. We did have time to do a 4x4 ride in the desert that was not in the program (one had to pay extra for it of course), and that was a lot of fun! So I guess the tour varies a bit from day to day, driver to driver? Our driver Mustafa/Stefan was fantastic, really caring, spoke really well english, and replied to all our questions!

Our guide, Sofian, was a perfect driver and very good traveling companion. We really enjoyed all the tour: the car was comfortable, we made a lot of kilometer but it worth it. The desert experience was great to, very kind guide and stunning place. Unfortunately the weather was quite bad so the sunshine wasn’t so good.
