An unforgettable experience! My sister and I embarked on a 4-day shared tour from Marrakech to fez and it exceeded all expectations. Safety was paramount, and as female travelers, we felt completely secure throughout our journey. The driver was knowledgeable, attentive, and ensured we soaked in every moment of Morocco’s beauty. The accommodations arranged by the company were top-notch, and the staff, particularly Steffi, were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. From start to finish, this tour was nothing short of extraordinary. Five stars all the way!

Had one of the best experiences! Loved the camel ride and we were allowed to add on other activities, such as ATV.
We did a reverse Marrakech to Fes 3 day desert tour, and was accompanied by one of the most genuine driver/tour guide – Ibrahim, who made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trip! 100% recommend this tour company!

This was a dream for us, to actually be in Sahara Desert. We were very lucky to choose Go Marrakech Desert Trips, they are very professional, specially Abdou, he is THE BEST!! He has a great personality and makes the trip fun and enjoyable, on the route, he gave us lots of information about the area, and was ready to assist us in every moment, with a big smile.
We can’t wait to go back to Morocco, and to take more excursions with Go Marrakech Desert Trips and Abdou.
