We went on this tour in October 2025 and our tour guide/driver was named Muhammad (Muha). We had the most incredible, culturally enriching time ever!! Muha went above and beyond to ensure we had the best and authentic experience and shared with us so much of the Moroccan and Berber culture. We also loved the Sahara desert stay which really was a highlight. Ali, from Morocco Joy Travels, also contacted us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well and he was so kind to talk about making surprise arrangements for my birthday as it would be just after our trip. Muha executed a birthday surprise too by organising with a restaurant in the Atlas Mountains to order a cake and celebrate with us. We met some of the kindest, hard working and generous people throughout our trip. An absolute 10/10, would book again any day!Show more

Excellent 5 day tour of the desert. I must congratulate the company that was in charge of the tour because it really totally covered our expectations, very good hotels, excellent food, the places we were able to visit were very nice. It is to be recommended without any doubt. But I would like to emphasize that all this is also due to the guide we had Hamid, with a willingness and dedication that is to highlight. Kindness, respect and a lot of knowledge of history. Many thanks to Hamid, to the company and also to TourRadar. Rated 10 points ????????????????????????????????????Show more

It was FANTASTIC!!! 5 Stars are way to less, Ali deserves 50000 Stars! Ali is a wonderful Guide, reliable, on time, safe driver, interesting explanations and very nice private conversations. He assisted soooo nice with fotos and it was a lot of fun to travel with him. All accomodations were very good, we sleeped very well, had great service and lots of delicious moroccan food. The long time drives felt short thanks to his music which let you dream during driving through stunning landscapes. We went there during Ramadan, which was no problem. Ali brought us to lunch when we wished. He organized us a beautiful last accomodation which was brand new and with a great view. Ali let us feel welcome every second during the whole trip. He showed us his beautiful country and culture. It was a honor to meet his family and cook with them. He made of the planned tour a private tour fitting perfectly to our interests. We enjoyed every second and can recommend the tour and Ali from heart 100000000%Show more

Amazing experience from beginning to end and would highly recommend Ali for your trip to Morocco! He knows so much about the history and culture of the country and people and you will learn and experience so much! All of the hotels that he booked were great and you can trust that you are in good hands. In June it will be hot so be prepared when going on tours during the day but it cools off at night. This tour was definitely the highlight of the trip and when we return to Morocco we will make sure to contact them again. Thank you so much Ali for your flexibility and kindness during the trip!Show more

The tour was great and Ali is an amazing guide. He had very intimate knowledge of all of Morocco and was able to get us some exclusive tours, great hotels, and delicious food. The days in the desert were definitely the highlight of the trip with the camel rides and off roading. I definitely recommend this tour and especially Ali if he is available. He was very accommodating and fun person to guide you through Morocco.Show more
