He was incredibly welcoming, professional, and shared so much interesting information about the history of the Berber villages and the local culture. It really made the experience much more meaningful than just a sightseeing tour. The scenery was breathtaking, and thanks to Karim’s great insights and friendly personality, we felt well taken care of the entire time. If you're looking for a great escape from the city, I highly recommend this tour—and definitely ask for Karim!”

“the excursion is not well managed in terms of time. We promise you things in the description that we don't see. In short, we make you spend a lot of time traveling for very little visit. We had to stay 30 minutes in Ourzazate and all that to take us to drink tea and sell us carpets. It’s a shame because Ouarzazate has much better to offer than that (no free time to visit the studios or the cinema museum).
