Well organized and for a very reasonable price, highly recommend! It was 12 of us and we were driving in a spacious van, the guide was really friendly, be prepared that you will spend a lot of time in the car but its surely worth it, we stopped several times to enjoy the views, take nice pics, for food etc. Sahara was definitely the highlight of the tour but if you are travelling during the cold months, it can get pretty cold there. The tent though was really luxurious with a private toilet, shower and many blankets.

The guide Mohammed is a fantastic driver, fluent in several languages, incredibly professional behind the wheel and super friendly. He went out of his way to make the experience great for everyone and even got my friend a small present for her birthday as it was on the same day as our tour. The jeep safari and the fisherman’s cave were highlights of the day and the dam is really impressive also. Highly recommend this tour!

This was such a fun excursion! You get to go on quad bikes that have 450 horsepower (as i was told) and go through sand dunes to get to an amazing view, and then stop on the way back to have tea and a sing song. All tour guides were very friendly too.

Amazing experience!! Quads are easy to drive, staff is very friendly and helpful, they take pictures for you, and the tea service was the best we had in Agadir!

Very professional team. very nice experience we highly recommend to everyone.
