We had an amazing 5 day tour this week with Cultural morocco from Marrakech through the Atlas Mountains to the dessert (Ouarzazate, Skoura, Erfoud, Merzouga) and back through Draa Valley, Ait Benhaddou etc. The level of service was perfect all through the trip. We had fantastic guides: Jazouli and Yassine. The pick-up time and place was exactly as promised, we travelled in excellent car. The drivers were safe - very good driving style. The guides were very flexible in desired stops, timing etc. The selection of Kasbah's in which we stayed in Skoura and Ait desert was excellent - they really select good accomodations! Also the Tiziri Luxury Tent in desert camp was great quality and the people are very nice and friendly. So all in all definitely a tour company that I would highly recommend.
