Highly recommend booking with this company. This was definitely a highlight of our trip as we learned a lot about the Moroccan people and culture which is our main goal when we travel to a new country. It is a great way to see a lot of places and get from one city to another in a nice private car. The website details about every place you will visit and see. Before booking, we exchanged several emails and Mohammed answered any and all my questions; he answered my emails in a timely and professional manner. We originally were going to take this trip in March 2020 but decided to hold off as it was the start of the COVID pandemic. But as we were deciding on whether we could make it, Mohammed answered all my questions related to COVID restrictions in the country and seemed very flexible if we booked and then if we needed to cancel due to COVID. We decided to hold off since we were unsure how COVID would pan out. Over a year later, we were finally able to book our trip. Prices and everything we discussed before remained the same which I appreciated very much. Our tour guide Mohammed was excellent and spoke English which was very good. He made us feel very comfortable and safe. We never felt rushed and was very accommodating. He always gave us timelines on what we should expect coming up and pointed out a lot of things along the way with interesting facts. He answered any questions we had. He was also great at taking pictures for us and many pictures too. The car we were in was very nice and comfortable and very very clean. There was a little hiccup on our pickup in Fes which was my fault. I didn’t realize there could be multiple riads by a parent “company” name with a specific name under the parent name. I had given the parent name which took him to a different Riad. Luckily our Riad host was able to help us call him and figure out where we were. We were thankful that it was resolved quickly with the patience and support of everyone. I would recommend when communicating pickup to include address and link of place you booked. The desert camp was very nice. Each tent had a bathroom and shower. It was very much glamping which I was very happy with. It was nice to be able to take a shower before bed after a long day. On our drop off in Marrakech, Mohammed ensured we safely arrived at our Riad and called to ensure the people helping grab our luggage was from our Riad. All in all it was a wonderful experience and highly recommend.Z5417LObrunos

We did a 3-day tour that started in Marrakech and ended in Fez. This tour was without a doubt the highlight of our 10 day trip to Morocco. From day one everything was perfect. Our guide (Mohammed) picked us up at the Riad and made us feel welcome with his friendliness. During the entire trip Mohammed was available to answer any type of question and left us completely at ease. The tour included a tour of the Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou's kasbah, Monkey Fingers, Todgha Gorge, not to mention the breathtaking landscapes we saw along the way. When we arrived in the desert, dromedaries were waiting for us and we went to see a stunning sunset over the dunes of the sahara. The camp where we spent the night is magnificent and worthy of a 5 star hotel. Upon arrival at the camp we were very well received and at the end of the dinner, which was also very good, we were entitled to a very good performance of traditional desert music. We start the next day watching the sun rise over the stunning dunes of the sahara before leaving for Fez. Once again, we were treated to the most beautiful landscapes that culminated in the interaction with the monkeys in the Azrou Mountains. This trip was worth every penny and we hope to return one day. A big thank you to Desert Days Tour and Mohammed for this memorable experience.159mustafacheikh

Desert Day Tours is a locally-owned and operated company. My wife and i went o. This 2 days desert tour from Fes to Sahara desert and back to Fes and it was an alazing experience. Our driver Mohammed was extremely professional and very knowledgable about local culture, society, economy, history, geology, geography ecology and more. We received a very tailored close-up look at the Atlas Mountains, Merzouga desert dunes, berber villages and the oasis. We hope to be able to come back for a longer tour next time and would highley recommend this company.camillej43570

My friend and I booked the 3 day Sahara Desert tour from Fes to Marrakech and this was hands down the highlight of our trip!!! We were so happy with this experience and cannot recommend this company more. Before our trip to Morocco, I spent days searching the internet trying to find the perfect company that had the exact itinerary we wanted, had a nice desert camp, and was at the right price point. Mohammed patiently answered the many questions I kept emailing him and was more than willing to accommodate our itinerary by dropping us off at our next destination in Imintanoute, which was 2 additional hours outside of Marrakech (the typical drop-off spot) as we requested. No other companies were willing to do this. Mohamed also gave us riad options for our second night. Other companies choose this for you, but I appreciated having a say. Mohamed actually recommended Riad Tazawa, which we decided to go with, and it was an incredible riad with a garden that had fresh grapes growing everywhere for you to pick & eat! What really sets this company above the rest are the amazing people. Our guide, Said, is the absolute sweetest guy who made sure we were always well informed, stopped people from hassling us, and got us fair prices at the markets. Our driver, Mbarek, is the epitome of cool. He kept us laughing and drove us everywhere smoothly. Traveling with them truly felt like we were traveling with friends and we had the best time getting to know them, the Moroccan culture, and the Moroccan landscape. Not to mention they had an awesome playlist of Moroccan, Arabic, and even some American pop music (can I get an encore of "Shape of You"??) that we really enjoyed jamming out to. The long trek to and from the Sahara didn't seem so long with all of the awesome stops made along the way. And the desert camp itself was truly one of quality. After our 1.5 hour camel ride to the camp, we enjoyed dinner in a lovely dining tent. We also had our own private bedroom tent. There was a shared bathroom equipped with toilets, sinks, and showers too. I didn't know the desert could be so luxurious! The tents here are sturdy and well built. So in case there is a sandstorm, you will be safe and protected at this camp. We sat by the fire after dinner and enjoyed listening to the camp staff (and Mbarek!) play traditional Berber drums. They taught us a few beats afterwards as well. The next morning they even found a sand board for us to try our hand at sand boarding. Said and Mbarek went above and beyond to make our trip special. If you're caught up in the search for the perfect desert tour like I was a few weeks ago, seriously look no further. This company has all 5 star reviews for a reason. I also think they offer the best price point out there, especially considering the great quality of each detail and all of the things that were included. We had an incredible adventure with Said & Mbarek. It was one of those experiences that makes your feel whole and were so sad to say goodbye. Thank you so, so much & we will see you again soon inshallah! Serious ;)theexhuberantfirefly

I contacted Mohammed from Desert Day Tours when I was planning my solo trip to Morocco in the month for November 2022. This was with regards to two tours I was interested in booking - (1) Marrakech to Merzouga tour : 5 days (2) Essaouira day trip from Marrakech : 2 days I wanted to customize both trips in a specific way and I contacted 5 other tour operators for this, at the same time as Desert Day Tours. The reason I decided to go with Mohammed was because his prices seemed reasonable compared to others, he had a quick turnaround time with responses to all my questions (and I had many :)) and I got a very genuine vibe from him in all my initial communications with him on email and WhatsApp. He also planned my itinerary really well and the hotels he recommended as part of the itinerary were amazing - clean, highly rated, great service and with good food. The restaurants he took me to, for rest stops and lunch breaks were also very good. The car was huge, clean with AC and he even had a cooler to keep drinks and food fresh / cold. When we finally started the tour, as a bonus - he was also my driver and tour guide for both trips and that made me feel more comfortable as well since I had already been in contact with him and as a solo female traveler, the familiarity at that point made me more comfortable as well. Throughout the tours, Mohammed was always on time for my pickups, is an excellent / safe / skilled driver, is chivalrous and always always always opened and closed the door for me, offered to take photos for me whenever I wanted some and is just a really good guy. He is also very knowledgeable about nuances associated with different places, knows the most optimized routes on walking tours and mini hikes part of the tour, and did everything he possibly could, to make this an unforgettable experience for me. He even went above and beyond for me as he knew I was going through a really stressful time on my trip (with Royal Air Maroc losing my bags with all my stuff, among other things for almost 3 weeks). Whenever I needed help with negotiating while shopping, or calling the airline for updates or even an accommodation in Marrakech for 2 days, he was there and willing to help me. Overall, I had a great time and felt very safe with Mohammed being my tour guide. I don’t see myself using any other company if I ever decide to go back to Morocco and do more tours there. It literally felt like I was on a road trip with my friend and a well wisher, not someone I met for the first time in my life. Mohammed is kind and excellent at his job and I would recommend his company - Desert Day Tours, and his services to anyone visiting Morocco.JENKATZ

Our 4 day Sahara Desert excursion and Fez city tour with Desert Day Tours was absolutely amazing! From the moment Mohamed picked us up in Marrakech to traveling through the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert to Fez, we were in excellent hands. Mohamed was professional, kind and funny as he kept us entertained with his great sense of humor. Sand boarding and camel trekking in the Sahara Desert were definite highlights for my teenage boys. We can’t wait to return to Morocco and book another trip with Desert Day Tours.
