We did a three-day private tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert, passing through Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, and it was an unforgettable experience—especially as part of our honeymoon in Morocco. From the very beginning, our guide Ismael went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. We told him we are vegetarian and that my wife also eats gluten-free, and he took exceptional care of us: he stopped at a bakery early in the trip, bought gluten-free bread for us to use throughout the journey, and made sure all our meals were well taken care of. He was always flexible, happy to stop wherever we asked—even outside the planned itinerary—and made the tour feel truly personal. Ismael speaks English, Spanish, and French, which made communication effortless. He even took us to his hometown and invited us to eat at his family’s restaurant, where we met his family and shared a wonderful meal together. That moment made the trip feel incredibly special and authentic—we didn’t just have a guide, we made a real connection. He also helped us shop for anything we needed along the way and was consistently kind, attentive, and thoughtful. The desert experience itself was magical. We rode camels into the dunes, spent the night at a desert camp, enjoyed a great dinner, live music, and an unforgettable view of the stars. Being in the desert at night was truly breathtaking. Since we visited Morocco in winter, the night was quite cold, so it’s important to bring warm clothing. The tent was described as “luxury,” and while there was no hot water for the shower, this didn’t take away from the experience—it’s simply better to wait for a proper shower at a riad later on. The camp provided many blankets, and despite the cold, it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. On the way back, Ismael kindly drove us to Fes instead of returning to Marrakech, which saved us an entire day and fit perfectly with our travel plans to continue on to Chefchaouen. That level of flexibility and care made a big difference. Overall, this tour was an unforgettable honeymoon experience, and Ismael was a huge part of that. His professionalism, warmth, flexibility, and genuine care made this journey truly special. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.Show more

This was an awesome experience for us. We booked the tour pretty late and had some requirements since my husband is a tall and huge guy. Khalil and his team were kind enough to accommodate all our needs and the vehicle for our private tour was also very comfortable. Our driver Said was also very nice and helpful. If you are planning to visit morocco and don't want to take any stress of planning the travel then Khalil and his team are the people you go to and then just enjoy your vacation.Show more

We were in morroco for 10 days and we started our inquiry for the group tour to sahara because that was one of our checklist items. After I did initial enquiry I talked to Khalil. One thing to another we discussed and he patiently listened to all my concerns and questions and answered everything and I ended up scheduling a private tour with Khalil via this company and that was one of the best decisions me and my wife took during our trip to morroco. Khalil was amazing tour operator, all of our stays were amazing. Desert camp was truly luxury and his team made sure we had experience of our lifetime. Our driver Said was also amazing and very helpful. I highly recommend Khalil and his team. I cannot stress more on how amazing and helpful this entire team. I am going to recommend them to all my friends and family visiting morroco.Show more
