We had a blast on this tour. Simon our tour guide was a great guy and made sure we were able to enjoy it a 100%. Great staff, all the guys we met and received us or were part of the tour were very friendly welcoming! Highly recommendable !!”

We had a fabulous time on this adventure with our 8 and 5 year olds. Safety is paramount, and our guide - whose name we think was Omar - was really great - he even took each of our kids on his quad bike, in the latter half of the tour. Our kids thought they were on a real thrill-filled tour, though in reality it's very safe. THe stop for pancakes with a local family is an amazing break and an opportunity to learn about the daily life of the family that made them. The views of the mountains and villages tending their sheep along the way are unforgettable.”

This was one of the highlights of my trip! My daughter drove a quad bike, while I was in a dune buggy. Our guide was wonderful! He made sure we were safe, and guided us through the desert toward the Atlas mountains. We had a nice Berber snack at a Berber village. The most exciting part of the tour was the ride up and down the sides of some dunes! It was so much fun!”

Awesome day doing the dune buggy. It was really hot on the day and got quite dirty but I would definitively recommend. It was really really fun and the trip only had 2 other people with us on the day. Guide and team was very helpful. Team leader was brilliant and a really joyful cheerful guy. Food at the berber house was nice and was a good rest. The guys really take care of your safety and understand that. I would suggest to maybe have a room with AC and better seating for when people arrive as was slightly uncomfortable and sweating because of the heat a lot before even starting!”

Excellent trip. Very professional. We had two dune buggies for our family of 4, and it worked really well. There were two stops when you could swap driver. Our 17 year old son absolutely loved being able to drive - it felt so fast! Our guide was great, and the pancakes in the desert were delicious.”

Excellent experience. We went 30 miles on them in two hours on some very fun terrain. Would highly recommend wearing old clothes as you get very dirty. I would do this vs the quads as the people on quads said there wasn't much space for two people.”

Fantastic experience, really enjoyed the buggy tour. Good amount of training and time in the desert, followed by water breaks and a berber village visit. Would have been nice if the transport to the desert was air conditioned as it was not climate controlled as described, and extremely hot.”
