What people are saying about Zagora

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.

experience to try once in a lifetime: all wonderful. For the price I think it's more than good, indeed. My friends and I had a great time, plus we happened upon some great people which made it all the more enjoyable. I would do it again a thousand times ... Not to mention the driver, really helpful and very nice.

Contact and organising was easy. All the guides we encountered were brilliant - very informative, easy to talk to, and accommodating. The trip was incredible. Highly recommend !

Great tour, driver was superb, we stopped off for snacks and breaks frequently. The camel trip and night in the desert was a great experience too.

Excellent trip! Driver and guides were wonderful, for the price one cannot ask for more!
