53 days in the amazing Zagora desert from Marrakech, the service is excellent. They give you the details. An incredible trip, beautiful landscapes and they make every detail special, they take care of you very well and take you to see the best of each place. Thanks to Ismail our guide for making this a unique and unforgettable trip, we were happy and very satisfied with all the service.
But next time we would like to go to Merzouga Sahara desert.
5Fuimos a Marruecos a finales de Octubre con intrepid marrakech. Fue un viaje muy bien organizado y el itinerario sugerido resultó ser magnífico. Desde los hoteles hasta el coche que nos dieron, todo estaba a punto. Ismail se aseguró de que todas nuestras necesidades fueran atendidas y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas. Sin olvidar a nuestro guía, Ahmed. Fue extremadamente paciente, amigable con nuestros hijos y buena compañía. Realmente recomendaría a Ahmed a las personas que viajan con niños. Gracias, Viajes de Descubrimiento de Marruecos por organizar nuestro viaje a Marruecos que siempre recordaremos!
5Thank you Esmail for this wonderful trip. We had an incredible time in Morocco. It was only 4 days but we visit so many beautiful places.
We look forward to seeing you soon because we are already planning to contact you again for another experience.
So see you soon.
5Great experience!! Our trip was a great success and mainly thanks to our excellent and professional driver. He was very patient and relaxed. The organization was exceptional, the places we stopped at on the way were perfect and really worth it and the accommodations we stayed at were really good. The camel ride in the Sahara was the best part of our tour. We will come for sure
5Abbiamo fatto un viaggio di una settimana attraverso il Marocco e tutto è andato alla perfezione.
Sono stati molto preoccupati per noi, l’attenzione e la gentilezza di tutte le persone che abbiamo incontrato lungo la strada è stata la migliore di tutte. Tutto è stato 10/10. Inoltre, scoprire il Marocco più profondo per mano di un vero marocchino non ha prezzo. Vale davvero la pena di viaggiare con intrepid marrakech, se avremo l’opportunità di tornare in Marocco, senza dubbio sceglieremo di nuovo questa agenzia. In sintesi, una meravigliosa agenzia
Grazie soprattutto a Ismail, per la sua pazienza, il suo aiuto e per averci insegnato così tanto sulla sua cultura.
5Estamos tão contentes por termos reservado a viagem privada de Fez ao Deserto do Sara! Valeu cada centavo. Graças ao nosso guia especializado, Ismail, tivemos uma experiência espantosa com tantas paragens e actividades fotográficas. Adorámos o passeio de camelo e a noite na tenda, bem como o passeio de quadriciclo pelas dunas de areia de Erg Chebbi. Obrigado por partilhar esta experiência espantosa, altamente recomendada!
