Perfect private excursion in Ouzoud, Azilal, Morocco

Worth every penny! Honestly I don't usually give reviews unless it is something I love or hate. This was amazing! We took a 3 day 2 nights trip to Merzouga. I don't usually have expectations but this was amazing! We got so much stuff included. We traveled as a couple and we felt great. Abdelwahab was our guide, he showed us around Ain Ben Haddou where a ton of popular movies were filmed. He speaks many languages and is a very nice guy! Lots of fun, very knowledgeable. Kamal our driver always took good care of us, would always give us tips and tricks and is a good driver, very fun, we always had music going and he would keep a good atmosphere. We stayed with him in the front and it was great! The staff at their office are super nice, the office looks great and well mantained, so I knew it would be a safe and worth it travel before it even started. They are also super nice! As for tips, the lunches are not included, as stated in the trip details, and the places you stop at are kind of expensive. If you are on a budget pack enough snacks. Also take at least 3 litres of water per person( it gets super hot and its good to drink on the way). Thanks a lot for everything!

I've had time of my life. This was the cheapest option for 3 day Merzouga trip and i was a bit skeptical at first but omg im speechless. Its so well organized!!! I've never been to Sahara nor in Africa. This blew my mind away. Its worth every penny. Im actually surprised how come such tour can be this cheap. The highlight of the trip was a night spent with locals at the camp in desert. Seriously! I've never seen this many start. You can literally see milky way:) do yourself a favor and sleep by bonfire watching stars. It gets cold at night ( it was November) but very hot during the day. They will give you blankets btw. Dancing and playing tam tams by they fire was epic af! Food they will cook for you will make your face melt! We've had so many stops on the way for taking pictures etc. The road back was a bit long but it didn't bother much considering memories and pictures i was bringing back:) Don't even hesitate. This is one of those things you must do in life. And Marrakech travel services were top notch operators. I traveled alone but never felt alone because our group was so amazing,we all friends now:) Oh btw there will be 2 camel rides (evening to watch sunset and early morning for sunrise). Get yourself a snowboard haha it was so worth the money. Very very fun. Thank you all !!!

We were overall very satisfied with Marrakesh Travel Services and their driver Mustafa. The 3 day trip to Merzouga was wonderful, there were plenty of things to see and the organisation of the trip was spot on. The visit to Ait Ben Haddou was a bit commercial, as we had to stop at various shops on our way to/from the fort. There was no pressure for us to buy anything though, so this was just a minor inconvenience. I would definitely recommend this trip to those visitors who do not wish to drive all the way to the dessert and back on their own.

We went on a three day trip to merzouga desert. Our chofer was Mohammed Ben Haddou. He drived perfectly and was so kind in every moment. We stopped every 2 hours aprox. The return from merzouga to Marrakech is tough (10h) but the experience is worth it. We would absolutely repeat!

Mohammad or Mohammed is a great driver. No unnecessary stops. Safe drive. And he brought us to good places to eat, to use toilet, to buy something etc. Thank you. Great job.

Tons of fun. Great desert excursion with lots of cool stops along the way!

I did 3 days' trip to Merzouga desert, really good trip, long distance but worthwhile since is possible to see many things of traditional Moroccan culture not only the main sites. Interesting visit to natural Dades gorges and UNESCO heritage Ait Ben Haddou, starry night in desert camp and sunset among the dunes from the top of the camel. The only bad note are the average touristy restaurants for lunch, not so good. Very special THANKS to our driver guide Jamal who was really professional and helpful in all that we needed other than inform us about local Berber culture, so precious! Well arranged and small group (8 people).

We were expecting a good tour but we had a wonderful one!!! So, the Agency Marrakesh Travel Service kept contact with us since Brazil. The first driver got us at Riad in the time proposed, everything was arranged as we expected, the camel ridding was amazing, the private camp (deluxe) was certainly the best choice ever. The driver MUSTAFA was certainly we needed, he drove safely, spoke to us the all route, coordinated everything to happens fine, arrange the things (camel ride, tent, etc). THANK YOU MUSTAFA!!! If you mind to buy one tour in Morroco you can do by Marrakesh Travel Services. PS: we both the tour to Merzouga from Marrackech, three days.

I took 3 days 2 nights desert tour few days ago started from 24/1/2020 to 26/1/2020 for €105 per person. The tour was amazing, me and my wife were surprised for what we paid have the luxury service. A very special thanks to our hard working and very funny driver Eddih Hicham, not only he gave us all the details for what we will do on that morning/afternoon (very organised), but also he knows when and where to stop the car for coffee/toilet and stop for taking nice photos. He drove the van very safe and always very entertaining. Which made us few very happy and I don’t feel the journey was long from Marrakech to Sahara Desert. My tour details is attached as in the A4 paper, as provided from the travel service when I joined them. I am not going to talk about the tour in details, rather I would like to talk about the hotel and the food. The first night we were stayed at Hotel Bougafer, Hotel itself may be a 4 star over many years ago, food are amazingly delicious for both dinner and breakfast. My room not the best, but stay one night is just ok for a bed with shower. In the desert, the Berber tents was luxury for us, me and my wife occupied entire tent with proper comfortable and warm bedding. We were surprised that the toilet is just within 10 steps, like next door and is very clean, and have sink to wash our hands. Of course there are no shower facility available in the desert, but we’ve got led lights throughout entire camp even in the toilet. For what we paid, it is more than what I expected. I would personally recommend this travel service if they continue provide the same quality of tour 😃 I know there are many travel agents in Marrakesh, some even offer us cheaper around €70 but we didn’t take it. Until this one, we read the google review in details, check the photos from the people joined before and even went to the travel services twice in person and spent 1 hours with them, asked all their details. I didn’t provide a lot of sight seeing photos here as I am not a professional photographer, and I only use my iPhone as my camera. I hope my information provide may help you to decide which one to choose.

Fantastic tour operator. We did the 3-Day Sahara Tour to the Erg Chebbi Dunes. We'll organized and amazing sites 2ith wonderful guides. Abdul was our guide and he is AMAZING. Highly recommend doing this tour if you're in Morocco. Thank you Abdul and company.

What a fantastic 3 day trip to the Sahara. Our driver Abdel, kept the tour to time perfectly and I felt safe with him behind the wheel. As a solo traveller, I was given my own room in the hotel (with pool) and at camp. The highlight, of course, is the Sahara and desert camp. The meals are organised as a group and therefore if you are travelling by yourself, this makes it easy (admittedly I was lucky, our group of 10 were absolutely lovely). It’s a long drive back to Marrakech but worth it. All in all, an incredible experience and excellent value for money.

My friend and I had an incredible adventure with Marrakesh Travel Services! Everything was taken care of from the airport pick up, tours, accommodations, desert excursion, etc.! Layla was very helpful and ensured that we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Our driver, guides, and other staff we encountered were all wonderful. The riad was very clean and is in the perfect location! We appreciated that there was someone watching the front desk 24/7. Our favorite part was the Zagora Desert experience! The drive was broken up into sections so we were able to visit some sights along the way. We stayed at the Tizi Luxury Camp and had an absolutely incredible experience! Our camel guide, Abraham, was very welcoming and willing to share so much about his culture (he was also a great photographer and got so many cute shots of my friend and I!). A quick note is that he mentioned if you feel so inclined to help out their people (Berber) that they are always in need of phone charging banks (~$8 on Amazon but hard to find in Morocco). We highly recommend this travel company for anyone ready to have the adventure of a lifetime!

[Read before booking] From Marrakech: 3-Day Sahara Tour to the Erg Chebbi Dunes (Luxury Camp) TLDR; Amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience, but book it with a better provider, one that maybe can guarantee you won’t be left behind and offers help when logistical mistakes from their side happen. The provider (⭐️⭐️) Before participating in the activity, I tried contacting the supplier via WhatsApp/phone call/ mail because my party and I had questions about what to pack, how the accommodation would work, if we would have wifi or phone service, etc. However, it was virtually impossible to get a reply from them, and they left me on seen via WhatsApp and only picked up the phone once. This action left a terrible taste in my mouth when I got stranded in Merzouga and needed assistance. They were not helpful at all, thankfully some good local people helped us to catch up to the van, but if it hadn’t been for them, my party and I would’ve been stranded in a town where almost no one speaks English. It’s a great experience, but I would not book again with this company. I understand mistakes happen, but what’s unacceptable to me is the mistreatment from the driver after we caught up with him and the lack of communication and responsibility from the company. At the time of writing and publishing this review, I have not received an apology nor compensation from the company for the horrible day three experience. Thankfully I booked through GetYourGuide and was compensated for all the troubles.

We joined a 2 day Zagora desert trip. We were in a group of 5 people with Jamal as a guide. Jamal made the trip special for us as he was very accomidating and followed the ritme of the group. We felt taken care off. The trip was amazing. The stops interesting. We traveled with camels to our sleeping spot in the desert camp and enjoyed sun set and rise.

Nice experience. We spent two days ( a night ) in the desert. Our driver D. Samed was very helpful and friendly! The ride is long but the sightseeing is incredible. I suggest this trip for people who need an easy trip to the desert with some comfort as it's not "wild".

This was a great tour really worth the price! Yones , the driver and the tour guide was the best, he was also an excellent dj who always adapted to our requests! The tour itself was awesome, the best dinner we had in whole Marocco ! Organization itself, communication and information about the trip were amazing! The tour guides in the desert were extremely kind and friendly! We lost one scarf and they provided us with no fee! Thank you for great experience

Let's say it was okay... Everything was okay. The bus was okay, most of the stops were okay, the food was okay. What bothered me the most was the lack of information beforehand. You basically have no clue what's going on the first and last day. The only really fun day is the second day. The day of the Todra cliff and the Sahara desert by dromedaris. The rest is just meh... Our bus was quite uncomfortable for us and for anyone taller than 1m75. The air conditioning and our driver were great, though! Make sure you pack enough snacks to eat during the day as the lunches are at tourist traps so don't expect great quality. Also keep in mind you have to pay for lunch every day and it'll be a fixed price of 120 dirham and at most places you can only pay in cash. I would say take 800 dirham per person to cover it all... Be aware that the guide at Aït-Ben-Haddou is more or less obligatory and you have to pay him €3 or 30 dirham per person excl tip. It's a very commercial "tour" through the village, not the most exciting. Our highlights were by far the Todra cliffs and the walk through the vegetable garden, the dromedaris ride and the Sahara desert. Please note you will have a bruised behind the day after!

We had an incredible time on this expedition! Abdoul was very fun and super helpful with everything

What an amazing trip. We travelled to the Sahara desert, had a brilliant evening camping and sharing time with wonderful guides and travelled back. I would like to especially thank our driver Abdessamad, who not only drove the 16 hour round trip exceptionally well, putting our minds at rest and allowing us to feel safe, but truly went the extra mile to explain different areas and parts of the trip to us, the service he offered on behalf of Marrakesh Travel Services was outstanding. Thank you I am truly grateful for an experience I will remember forever.

What a trip, what a memory!! I usually don’t take multi day organized tours but glad I did this time. It was a sudden plan and I didn’t have time to DIY. Hence went ahead and did the reservation with get your guide for this tour. Everything was very well organized, loved the canyons, Sahara desert, ait-benhadou. I am a vegetarian and surprising they arranged vegetarian food every where for me. I felt good taken care of. We slept in tents in desert. There were local musicians who kept entertaining us with Berber music untill late night, ofcz u were free to go if u wanted to go in ur tent & sleep. But trust me the ambience & music would not let you go and there is nothing to regret. We went in November and hence the nights were cold somewhere around 8 degree Celsius. But there was sufficient arrangement to keep us warm. Our driver Hicham was nice and very accommodating. He kept explaining things enroute and allowed us to play our songs which was a bonus. The night at Sahara camp is a must experience for everyone , the live Berber music, the food, the star gazing..loved it all. Tried my hands on the Berber drums and was given a short training on spot. In total it was an amazing experience. If you are in Marrakech , do not think twice. The only recommendation to tour operator I would give is to think how to make return journey less tiring as it’s a long day. May be consider including some tourist spots on way return or an option to take flight back to Marrakech at additional charge. That would make this tour even better as we all were too tired on day 3 during our return journey In total don’t miss ; it’s worth investment of time and money. The experience is going to stay forever with me.

Very well organised tour that made this a lifetime experience. Comfortable car, good hotels with swimming pools, great food and the activities are organised in such a smart way that you see and experience a ton of other sites apart from the desert. We even had families with small children in our group that enjoyed it hassle-free. I give 5 stars for the tour & organisation and I would give 6 stars for our amazing driver Mustapha Ouarzazate who is extremely professional, experienced driver with such a kind soul and beautiful smile that enriched even more our journey. This trip was a celebration for my brother's birthday and Mustapha also got a birthday cake for us to sing happy birthday in the middle of the Sahara desert. Epic! I would definitely do this tour again, especially if Mustapha would be our cool driver 😎 🏜

Amazing experience! We had such a good time, everything was well organized. Great group of people together with Hamid who was our driver. Thank you! We loved it!

A very good, professional tour with our driver Hamid. He did everything to accommodate the passengers, including plenty of bathroom/photo op breaks. The tour was very cool, with the culmination in Zagora desert where we got to see the sunset and sunrise amidst the sand. The camp staff were very accommodating, We had a very good time with great food, dancing, music and stargazing on a sand dune. The conditions of stay in the desert camp were surprising good. There was electricity to charge your phone and a simple shower (only cold water though) and relatively clean bathrooms. We arrived at the desert entrance at around sunset time and then rode the camel for 45 minutes to the campsite. Lots of activities in the camp in the evening and we left the camp in the morning with camels to the exit.

3-Day Sahara trip - Merzouga from Marrakech. I booked three days trip from Marrakech to Sahara. The trip was a bit long than I anticipated, however, the long journey was very relaxed and interesting due to the variety of wold class and well known historical places. Adding to that, the minibus driver (HAMID) was an exceptional customer-friendly and professional driver. He was there to help if anyone needed and answered many of the questions that came to my mind through our journey. I think it will be beneficial to keep (HAMID) as professional driver for both tourists and Marrakech Travel Service. I cannot say more than thank you for your service and to people like HAMID for making it an even more pleasant experience.

Beautiful and well-organised experience in the Merzouga desert. Our driver Mohamed has been lovely and explained different attraction during the trip. The intermediate stops were super interesting as well! Highly suggested.

We spent 3 days with our driver Mostafa from Marrakech to Merzouga and back. He was very kind and always helpful with a huge smile. He will get you feel comfortable every time. Very suggested

This 3-day trip started on 16th May. The following are the highlights of our exciting adventure 1. An hour worth of camel trekking in Sahara Desert that started around 0700pm to see the magnificent sunset that colored the sky a pale pint of orange and enhances the vibrancy of the golden sand dunes 2. Another hour to admire the calming and beautiful sunrise the next day (for this one the camel guide woke us up early and we set off around 0600 am- time may vary depending which month of the year the tourists will visit) 3. The berber music that started roughly 30 min after our dinner ( while waiting for them, our group went out, just steps away from the camp, and enjoyed the night sky. Lively and very engaging sound coming out from the guitar and drums. We danced around the campfire, under the moon and stars, while chanting local words we learned from this trip and even shouting out our driver's name to show how grateful we were to him. Solo female traveler here. I was apprehensive at first due to several reasons 1. Safety of the whole journey ( Our driver Hisham Damou, I'm really proud to say, was the best driver who manoeuvered our way throughout this trip with expertise. Very pleasant, respectful, and always went out his way to help everyone of us. I even borrowed money from him when I bought a 150 euro well-designed handcrafted carpet from the Berber cooperative. Safety of the tent ( there'll be tent available for those who travel in a group, as a couple and as a solo traveler. The old fashioned lock was broken in my tent, I have the choice to change to another one but chose not to, still I slept peacefully and woke up around 5am and got the chance to admire the full moon and stars. Also, I was able to meet new friends especially that my group was really fantastic and approachable, we talked about our future travel plans, shared our common interests and laughed together. 2. Food sanitation Hisham explained that the designated restaurants were especially chosen by them to make sure that foodborne diseases will be avoided and quality will not be compromised. I loved the menus I selected, may be because it's their traditional food so they know how to do it properly. Prices ranges from 80-120 dirhams with drinks. 3. Currency to use and internet Its always a good idea to exchange currency to dirham in the airport. Euro will do but the main one especially when paying for lunches and souvenirs is dirham. Before we run out of cash, Hisham, our driver, also helped us to withdraw from an atm. I bought a local sim card (orange) worth 10 euro in the airport and there'll be internet available in the hotel and sometimes in the restaurants. 4. Weather Always have a bottle of water, it will just cost 10-15dr/1lt and meds for headache if needed. Light clothes and swimming gear( there's a pool in the hotel where we stayed for our first night and there's another one in the hotel(La Source du Desert) where we stayed for about 2 hrs to have our shower and charge our gadgets before heading to the desert for the camel activity and the overnight stay in the camp). 5. Expect the way back to be a long drive, roughly 10-12hrs, but there were stops in between for small breaks and an hour lunch break.

Super nice travel! Zaid and humid end are super nice guy. And on the road, the driver Aziz helped me a lot. Really good sunrise and really nice all. Don’t forget to take a sweater with you,it’s a bit cold in the morning.

We took a trio to Ouzoud waterfalls with this agency and can only recommend them the driver picked us up at agreed time and we traveled in a minibus (8people). Driver was very professional and answered all our questions. Our guide ibrahim was also very good and made the tour very informative. The waterfalls and monkeys were amazing and we loved every minute. We had lunch (100dh pp) which was some chicken skewers, couscous and fresh fruit but I personally would not go back for lunch as tge cutlery and plates seemed bit unclean. Other than that everything was great, our driver abduselim even helped us to organize another trip the last minute. Thank you all!

We booked two trips with Marrakech Travel Services: 1. To Zagora: it’s an amazing experience, the journey to Zagora and back is very tiring though - 7h drive plus stops one way only. The driver is not a guide, so don’t expect too many stories from him. There will be a stop at Ait Ben Haddou - the village is beautiful and you will learn a lot about their culture (for the guide you’ll have to pay 25 dirhams only). I’d advise you to buy a scarf from Marrakech or from the village, as the guide will end the tour at a shop where the scarves are a bit overpriced. In Zagora, the camel ride at sunset is a great experience. The dinner at the berber’s camp was very good, but the best part of the night is the “ Sahara disco “ when you’ll get the chance to dance and sing with the locals. On the way back to Marrakech there will be a lunch stop. If you’re fussy about the food you eat, buy something for the road. We had chicken skewers with chips and were decent. 2. To Ouzoud Falls: this trip is shorter - about 3h ride there and 3h back and you’ll get to feed wild monkeys. Everything is very well organized.

Had a great day with Marrakesh Travel Services. They picked us up from our hotel on time and it was a smooth ride to Essaouira stopping to see the goats in the trees and an Argan oil factory on the way which I both have wanted to see. The guide in Essaouira was kind and informative. He had fantastic English as well. I highly recommend taking this tour. Make sure you bring water and some snacks for the bus.

Amazing experience! I'll repeat this all over again. We booked the 2 days 1 night tour to Zagora, and paid 75 € per person. Our driver, Laarbi, was great! He was very kind and helpful. The minivan was excellent; the camp in the desert was awesome! The guide guy at the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou was nice as well. The berber people in the camp were really nice, and the food (dinner and breakfast) was perfect. Enjoy de camel ride at sunset and sunrise. Get ready some cash to tip everyone. It was all worth it! I recommend it!!!
