Your driver-guide on this route
Your driver-guide, not a coach and forty strangers
Every route runs with one Amazigh driver-guide, one car and your party only. They grew up on these roads, so they know which pass is shut, which café does the good tagine, and when to stop talking. You get their name before you pay a deposit, not after.
What travellers actually said
The trip was incredible! The drive was long, but we got to see so much of Morocco, and our driver, Hassan, made it a very comfortable experience. He was very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable, and he made this tour the highlight of our Morocco stay. The Sahara desert experience was unbelievable and once in a lifetime.…

We had a fantastic 3-day trip from Fes to Merzouga and back. All the hotels were very nice and welcoming. Omar, our guide, was very knowledgeable and sympathetic; he explained lots of details on the way. All in all, a very professional company, which we highly recommend!
