Great experience. Very well organised. Tour guide and driver both excellent. Bus was comfy. Hotels were good and felt like we were off the beaten track a bit. Food was good lots of tajine and they catered for vegetarians. Sahara experience was amazing - better than expectations. Kids 15 and 17 really enjoyed it all. Nice to have some time in Marrakesh at the end to explore ourselves. There is a lot of driving - it is broken up but most days about 4 hours to cover the distances.Show more
