Loads of fun. Really well organised trip with a really fantastic guide. Food was fabulous and the activities were better than expected. I would recommend it to anyone.
Good mix of activities. Food was good, everyone friendly. Tour guide could give more background during the long enough bus ride. Was a very pleasant day
We enjoyed our day & loved the food at both places (particularly the lunch - best meal in Morocco). The host was lovely but we didn’t even know his name until the end of the tour. The camel ride was fun & going into the mountains was a great experience. The only criticism would be that as there is a lot of driving between the attractions there should be some background/history information given by the host. The only person who got insight into every place was the lady who spoke Berber.
Our tour guide Ibrahim was so great and knowledgeable about sharing his culture. He was funny and answered all of our questions. We loved the visit to his village in the mountains, his rooftop terrace for lunch was a highlight with that view. The camel ride in the desert was a nice end to a great day. Definitely recommend for getting out of Marrakech for the day to see another way of life.
