Tour molto bello nel complesso, alcune cose non positive. Nel dettaglio: molte le ore in macchina (4h) ma panorama favoloso, strade in montagna con molte curve (per chi soffre l'auto, munitevi di medicine), villaggio molto caratteristico. Attenzione: entrata al villaggio gratuita, non devono chiedervi soldi! La guida ha insistito perché comprassimo le sciarpe da metterci come turbanti poi nel deserto: non fatevi fregare o portatevela da casa. A Ouarzazate la visita al museo del cinema (3€) è carina ma il set è piccolino, non è lo studios quello più famoso che non è previsto nel tour. Attenzione: vi chiederanno mance ovunque, dalla guida ai cammellieri. Molto bello il momento nel deserto, cammellata di oltre un'ora al tramonto e all'alba 20min. Accampamento nel deserto molto spartano, una vera esperienza unica ( p.s. non ci sono prese della corrente). Portatevi acqua.

The guide Mohammed is a fantastic driver, fluent in several languages, incredibly professional behind the wheel and super friendly. He went out of his way to make the experience great for everyone and even got my friend a small present for her birthday as it was on the same day as our tour. The jeep safari and the fisherman’s cave were highlights of the day and the dam is really impressive also. Highly recommend this tour!

Very good tour guide, friendly. No obligation to buy at any time. It is still worth having some cash with you, whether for tips or small items. Card payment is not possible.

Stunning location and views! The private tour wasn’t fully private as there was another couple. Nevertheless, a great experience I would recommend everyone visiting Agadir

Very professional team. very nice experience we highly recommend to everyone.
