Sahara Trip of a lifetime - The Sahara desert tour to Merzouga was an absolute must-do experience. Toubkal Guide team especially our driver/guide Nouri was great and throughout the. 3 days made us feel safe despite the 9 hour drives. All bookings were handled professionally and the desert accommodation was surreal! Another check in our bucket list. Thanks Nouri!

Great experience - Me and my wife just had this trip. This was an amazing trip, and so much to see. Jamal was a very nice and polite driver and guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the cities and places we visited.
The desert was amazing. The sky and the stars so clear. And the one hour on camel riding was fun too.
I can absolutely recommend this trip and warmly reccomend Jamal as driver and guide

Somehow even better than expected… - What an amazing trip! Everything was taken care of and done in a professional manner. It was a long trip for sure, but it was made easier because we stopped every hour or two at a cafe or roadside to take pictures or have a mint tea or coffee. Our guide Hossine was so great. He told us many stories and answered all of our questions. We feel like he made some stops that most tours would not make so that we had some authentic experiences with the Berber people. Can’t recommend this tour company and Hossine enough. Such a wonderful trip. Tanmert!

Nice arrangement and nice guide to the Merzouga dessert - Our guide was perfect. It is a long drive but he arranged for many nice stops at nice places. We felt really comfortable talking about our expectations and needs. Also the communication with the booking office went really good. Big thanks.

Amazing tour - We did the 3 day tour when visiting Morocco with driver Omar and it was an extraordinary experience. We had no idea about the tours before and wasn't sure if it was reliable. A quick Google search led us to the Sahara desert tour services. The driver was very kind and very good at guiding us and sticking to the plan. It is a well organized tour that leaves you satisfied with an amazing plan to see everything. If you have limited time in Morocco and looking for a tour to see the desert, this one is for you! Other attractions that we visited along the way were equally amazing. I can't recommend this tour enough!

Fantastic three day trip to the Sahara - Family of five had a wonderful three day adventure from Marrakech to Merzouga and back. Driver Mohammed was extremely accomodating to our needs throughout, including finding a place for us to watch the world cup final on the last day which meant a late night drive for him on difficult roads over the Atlas Mountains. Many interesting stops on the way to Merzouga but the night in the Sahara was really special--hotel the first night and Berber tents were excellent.

Fantastic tour! - We went with toukbal guide tour company as they had excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. The tour was very well organised over the 3 days. We spent the first day driving to the desert which was a long journey. And 2 days driving back to Marrekech with stops on the way. The desert camp was very luxurious with ensuite and shower, and the setting was beautiful. We saw beautiful sunrise and sunset in the desert and had plenty of time with camel rides to and back to the camp. The lunches on the way were also very good and to be honest a fair price for what were offered, though you can see they generally bring all the tourists to the same restaurants. The night in the hotel/riad was a highlight - the riad had a lovely rooftop view and food was superb. Lastly our driver/tour guide Abdou was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. He was an excellent driver as well. I would highly recommend him!
