Francesco Guido

Esperienza di 3 Giorni nel Deserto di Erg Chigaga. Primo giorno: da Marrakech all' "ingresso" del deserto, attraverso l'Atlante e passando da Ait-Ben-Haddou con sosta per il pranzo. Arrivo in serata presso il primo camping dove abbiamo cenato, pernottato e ammirato le stesse in un silenzio magico, da favola. Camping eccezionale, ragazzi a dir poco fantastici, cena ottima, tenda comoda con tutti i comfort Secondo giorno:colazione, passeggiata sulle dune vicino al camping e spostamento verso il secondo camping, viaggiando per 3 ore nel deserto con un 4x4. Arrivo al secondo camping, ancora più bello, dotato di circa 12-14 tende e una struttura centrale dove abbiamo cenato accompagnati da musica berbera. Al tramonto abbiamo fatto una camminata su dromedari per arrivare ad una duna altissima e goderci il tramonto. Terzo giorno: colazione e ripartenza per Marrakech. Al ritorno solo soste per rinfrescarci Guida privata: Rachid è stata una persona deliziosa, cortese, educata, che ci ha lasciato i nostri spazi e i nostri tempi. Sempre disponibile ad accogliere delle nostre esigenze e a scambiare due chiacchere quando si voleva. Ragazzi del camping: vorremmo ringraziare Ayoub e Amid che si sono dedicati al nostro comfort con la loro allegria e presenza. Nota in più: avevo accennato che fosse il compleanno di mia moglie e nel secondo camping hanno organizzato una torta a sorpresa con tanto di candeline e "Sana Helwa ya Gamil" cantata per augurarle buon compleanno. Grazie infinite!

My family and I have just returned from a fifteen day tour of Morocco with Zagoraexperience and it was the trip of a lifetime! Our local guide was simply the best we could have hoped for - we felt safe and well cared for the whole time, and he spoke fluent English! We started and finished our exciting tour in Casablanca - I highly recommend this family owned tour company for a truly authentic and unforgettable experience of Morocco.

Andrea Ramacciotti

Esperienza fantastica! Persone magnifiche e sempre disponibili ad esaudire ogni desiderio possibile. Dal primo giorno di incontro in aeroporto ci hanno accompagnati durante tutto il tour fino all'ultimo minuto. Area condizionata e wifi presenti in macchina, possibilità di sostare durante le tratte in base alle necessità e bagagli sempre custoditi. Riad selezionati con cura da loro in posizioni strategiche e con servizio e pulizia accurate. Un ringraziamento speciale al nostro accompagnatore Jalil sempre disponibile e cordiale che ci ha accompagnati durante tutti i 6 giorni. E ringraziamo anche Abelhadi per il tour che ci ha proposto e organizzato nei minimi dettagli, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di condividere con lui la notte nel deserto. Per i prossimi tour e soggiorno in Marocco sicuramente ci affideremo a questa compagnia disponibile anche in altre città. HABIBI

Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vivere un circuito di 10 giorni con Zagora Experience ed è stato semplicemente eccezionale. Fin dal primo giorno tutto era organizzato alla perfezione: una guida attenta, un autista molto professionale e un programma ben equilibrato tra scoperte culturali, natura e momenti di relax. Abbiamo esplorato le medine colorate, attraversato le montagne dell’Atlante e vissuto la magia del deserto con una notte sotto le stelle. Ogni tappa ci ha regalato nuove sorprese e ci ha permesso di comprendere meglio la storia e la cultura del Marocco. L’agenzia si è davvero adattata alle nostre esigenze e ha reso questo viaggio unico e indimenticabile. Consigliamo vivamente Zagora Experience a chiunque desideri scoprire il Marocco in tutta serenitaa ... grazi Abdul

Esperienza indimenticabile con Zagora Experience! Ho avuto il piacere di partecipare a un tour organizzato da Zagora Experience e devo dire che è stato fantastico. Il personale è stato molto professionale, cordiale e sempre disponibile. I paesaggi del Marocco erano mozzafiato, e ogni dettaglio del tour è stato curato con attenzione. Consiglio vivamente Zagora Experience a chiunque voglia vivere un’avventura autentica e sicura in Marocco.
