Guide Morocco Tours planned the perfect itinerary for us. The journey was a blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. We loved visiting the Todra Gorges and seeing the amazing kasbahs along the way. The off-road drive to Erg Chigaga was thrilling, and the desert camp was cozy, with delicious food and great hospitality. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip even more enjoyable. Ait Ben Haddou was the perfect ending before heading back to Marrakech. I’d definitely book with them again!

This tour exceeded all my expectations! From the scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains to the breathtaking Erg Chigaga dunes, every moment felt magical. The accommodations were top-notch, especially the boutique hotel in Ouarzazate and the authentic riad in Tinghir. The night in the desert was the highlight—stargazing around the campfire while listening to Berber music was an unforgettable experience. The team at Guide Morocco Tours took care of every detail, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
