Dessert tour guide
I had an amazing tour with Haadi as our guide and Hassan as our driver! Haadi's engaging knowledge on the history of Morocco made the two day journey feel a lot less! The dessert and camel rides were an exceptional highlight of the trip as well.

A big Misunderstanding
I did not book this tour! The tour I booked was a full day tour with admissions to the historic buildings and landmarks and included lunch. I had to change the dates for the tour and was booked onto this one without being notified it was different. I didnt realize this until we met our guide and made us pay for everything. He was very rude and clearly stated that "he is just a guide" and that "all he cares about is telling us about the landmarks". He kept spitting whenever he was talking too. I had to stand a few feet away from him, though i don't think this was intentional - just how he was. I had to use a ATM machines to withdraw money to pay for everything which I am going to claim back against Viator and put a complaint. He didn't show us the Museum either, nor did we get a free bottle of water. He wanted to finish the tour bang on 12.30pm and said he is only with us for 3 hours and that's it. The minivan had wi-fi onboard advertised but this wasn't working either. Can someone at Viator please let me know how to make a complaint about this?
Response from the operator: Hello, We want to thank you for your review which was a surprise and full of lies. Here I will answer all your questions just to be clear: First: You didn't have admission fees included in the price and you can check the voucher of your booking. Second: You didn't have lunch included and we never have lunch included in our tours !! Third: Our guide wasn't rude until you made him nervous and you insult him. And his job was to give you information about the attractions and landmarks, which you didn't like ??!!! Fourth: We did a professional job to allow you to start the tour at 10 am instead of 9 AM. Fifth: You didn't have Wifi included in your booking which was an extra service we gave to you and you should pay for it. it's not free by the way. Sixth: You have visited all the landmarks and the attractions included in your booking. Seventh: It was a big pleasure from our agency to let you change the date and amended your tour else you should do it the day you booked it. at the end to be clear that we organize 8 to 10 guided city tours of Marrakech every day and we have never got problems or complaints about you are talking about. This is not our first city tour of Marrakech and we can't accept all this after 15 years of hard work in Tourism organization

excellent driver and professional guide
We booked a full day guided sightseeing tour of Marrakech with this agency through Viator. Both the driver Houssaine and the guide salem were very professional. We start the tour at the scheduled time and we picked up from our riad in the medina. The tour was excellent the car was very clean with bottled water and the guide we got is very knowlegeable and professional. We visited all the main points of interests in the city. Koutoubia mosque, the tombs, the two palaces, the souks and the majorel gardens. We realy want to thank both the driver and the guide for all the inforation they provided and for the best city tour. We discovered a lot of things because of you. Thank you very much !!!! Highly recommended !!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Sahara Tour from Marrakech: Camel Trek & Berber Camp start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marrakech?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
