What people love about Private Tours in Sahara Desert
- Private 6-Day through Marrakech & the Sahara Desert
Highly recommended . We booked via TourRadar. This amazing 6 days trought Morocco and I'm pleased to say that was more than our imagination . Every thing was very well arranged and a lot of ground to cover. Our driver Jazouli and our guide Yassine, they was simply the best. . they ware knowledgeables and very informative even we became a good friend as well we learned so much about Moroccan culture ,and history .They were caring and always looking out for us. The accomodations chosen for us were spot on -- it really was amazing . We had a fabulous vacation and surely will come back for another interesting adventure. We are ready recommend this amazing tour company to our friends and family. Thanks to Cultural Morocco Tours for this great vacation!
In November, 2022, my husband and I completed the 10 day Kasbah and Desert tour with Vacations to Go Travel. From the beginning, they were easy to communicate with and answered questions and sent info in a timely manner. While in Morocco, our tour guide and driver were excellent. They were prompt, knowledgeable and friendly and their understanding of English was great. The van was comfortable and the driver very professional. The overall itinerary was excellent and we were glad we extended our stay in Essaouira. Merzouga, Erg Chebbi and time in the desert were definitely highlights of the trip for us. Unfortunately, the hotel we stayed in the most each time we returned to Marrakech (El Alandrous) was the weak link. We found the hotel common areas to be fresh and well kept, but each of the four different rooms we stayed in were old, dirty, uncomfortable, loud and in need of general TLC. Otherwise, a wonderful trip and we would highly recommended.
