There are lots of these trips advertised and it took ages to come to the decision to book through Mission Travel Morrocco. I don't think it actually matters who you book through they all seem to simply fill up the buses. Pick up at hotel was offered which was good. We were taken to a central pick up point where there appeared to be confusion regarding who was going and in which bus. The fellow passengers made the trip. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Unfortunately the driver Muhammed who spoke no English, spent a large amount of his time on his mobile both travelling their and back. This was a bit concerning especially driving through the Atlas mountains. In the end I told him to put it away. Visits to Ben Haddou and Gorges du Todgha were very interesting. However as other reviews mentions lunch stops were arranged at particular restaurants with set price menus at tourist prices. Lunch for our family of 3 would have cost over 34 euros without drinks. I refused to pay this so walked down the road and found a chinese which served sandwiches etc. On the way back the whole group refused to ear at the allocated restaurant finding a much cheaper one down the road. The driver was not pleased as he probably lost his commission. My tip would be take your own food. The scenery is spectacular and the desert dune trek on camels is super. The camp was basic which was OK. My major complaint here though was despite advertising that drinks can be purchased there was nothing... Not even water. We had to continously ask for water and the camp staff refused several times stating that their bosses did not allow them to provide water. This was ridiculous having travelled by then over 17hrs on a bus and told to bring the bare minimum to not have water. Eventually they went to another camp and got water and charged us 2 euros. The food was quite good and the entertainment OK. It was the desert itself which made the trip and the fellow passengers. Despite booking the longer tour it was still very rushed. Up at 5. 30am to see the sunrise which was actually behind us. The journey back took almost 19hrs due to the driver getting stopped by police and fined. He got stopped a second time and the break pads fell off the bus. We then had to hang around waiting for it to be fixed. Muhammad wanting obviously to make up time drove like a formula one driver through the twisting mountains causing several people to feel sick. I had to firmly ask him to stop as one of the passengers was quite ill through his driving and the attitude. We really enjoyed the desert experience however if considering this research it first. 2 nights was rushed so I can only imagine how hectic one night would be.

This company was absolutely unbelievable! Ever since I stuck on foot on Moroccan soil I was taken in by these guys. I booked three trips with Kamal and Morocco Nomadic Travel. I went to the day trip to Essaouira and saw a roadside argan oil cooperative with a tour and samples. Then I did the full city marrakech walking tour which was enlightening, beautiful and stunning. Tour was so informative, private and immersive and educational. Then I went on the Mountain hike at the high Atlas Mountains and it was gorgeous! The trip was also immersive into the local Berber culture. Plus good exercise and great lunch after. The food, hospitality and helpfulness of Morocco Nomadic travel were unmatched. I also booked airport transfers— everyone of these guys are the best! They are very responsive and quite affordable.

What a wonderful trip! Abdul was prompt and courteous and drove a clean, spacious vehicle. He expertly drove us through beautiful scenery, sharing local knowledge about the towns and landmarks we were passing. And the falls! Abdul gave us time to explore but understood it was time to go when our young children were tired. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion! We would do it again!

We were lucky enough to spend 4 hours with Med, wandering the souks and alleyways of Marrakech. Med is very personable, all smiles, provides much insight into the city and culture and encourages you to ask many questions. He took us to places which we would never have found on our own including a stop for tea, bread-making, Bahia Palace and the fascinating labyrinth of alleyways. Definitely recommend Med if you want a magical tour with someone who is patient, attentive, knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does.
