David_D, Jul 2022

Really professional and timely. Doing private was worth it to avoid with other people. Tea and bread was good.

A fun tour!

Heather_B, Sep 2021

This was so much fun! I wasn't sure if riding a camel would be a little scary, but it was very relaxing and fun. The Palmerie is beautiful, with many birds. This was a great way to spend the evening! The guides were also great about taking many photos for me.

Bao D, Oct 2017

Prompt pick up at scheduled location. Tour guide was very kind and gave us a mini-tour of Marrakech while driving to the camel drop off location. We rode the camels for about an hour more than enough time. The guide would be very proactive about taking pictures of the group. The snacks/drinks at the Berber house was underwhelming since they didn't really interact with us. However, it was a good break from being on the camels!

Adriana K, Aug 2017

These guys were great. We got the meeting time wrong and they waited for us for 15 minutes while we scrambled to get ready. They drove us to the grove and gave us tradition clothing to wear they even had clothing for my 4 and 7 year old. We each got on our own camel and went for a 30 minute walk. They took pictures of us on the camels with the setting sun. It was a beautiful setting. We stopped for tea and crepe-like snacks. The tea was good, the crepes were a bit greasy but overall it was good we didn't go for the food. We then rode back to our starting point in the dark. Overall this was a great tour. The hour that we spent on the camels was more than enough especially with our young children. The guides were very nice. The only thing I would change is that I would have liked to have a bit more info from the guides as to our timeline but that is my own personal preference. It was pretty much the way it was outlined in their description which is probably why they don't say anything but I had booked this a week before I would have liked them to tell us we're going for a walk, then we'll stop for a bit, take all the photos you want as we ride out because you'll be riding back in the dark, etc. etc.but overall an excellent tour. I highly recommend it.

Beatrice D, Aug 2017

This was definitely a highlight of my trip. First off, Marrakech is a beautiful city. The food, the people, the culture all amazing. This excursion from start to finish was great. Everyone we encountered was friendly and knowledgeable.

The absolute best part of this trip...

Alison C, Aug 2017

The absolute best part of this trip was our driver/ guide, Ismail. He was so positive and full of knowledge. We were able to ask him a lot of questions and he gave us the most information about Marrakech we received all trip. He was also very skilled at navigating the narrow Marrakech streets. We enjoyed the camel ride as well, but it is a bit difficult getting on and off the animals. They seemed to be treated well. The Berber house was an interesting experience, but our camel guide had to leave for a bit to wrangle the camels and we were unable to communicate with our host without knowing Arabic of Berber. That felt a bit awkward.

Elinor Saffron W, Jun 2017

This trip was AMAZING! The guides were brilliant, they made us feel very safe and comfortable. The snack and tea at the Berber house was delicious, we enjoyed them whilst the guides taught us some local history and about the camels. We cannot recommend this trip enough. Highlight of our week. the baby camels were so cute, especially Victor!

Jasmine P, Jun 2017

The sunset camel ride was our first adventure in Marrakech and it did not disappoint. We received an email from the tour company with detailed information regarding time and location of pickup. The tour guide picked us up directly from the hotel, on time, with cold bottles of water. The camel ride included authentic clothing. Everything was as advertised and very professional. The camel ride was just long enough not too long. Our guide was very willing to take pictures for us along the way. Overall, enjoyable experience and great start to our trip!

Really great evening riding camels...

Eleanor B, Jun 2017

Really great evening riding camels at sunset! Abdul picked us up at exactly the time specified, then another couple from within the city, and we headed out to the palm groves. We were added to a larger group so it was quite a social evening. We got to wear Toureg clothing to look the part as well. The camels were all very well-behaved, and the young ones were very cute. The snack at a Berber home was delicious, served with mint tea. All the guides were wonderful, and took lots of pictures on everyone's cameras. The sunset in the palm groves was glorious. Highly recommended! Ellie and Matt

Great sunset camel ride. Driver and guide where very friendly. We had a nice ride into the sunset with a tea break in the Palmerie. The guide was speaking French and English and sharing a lot of info about the Palmerie.

AnnMarie_S, May 2017

Again, I was the only one on this tour and although this was a bucket list adventure for me I was a bit scared. Said, my camel handler was the best he talked me through my fears and although I wanted to turn around after 10 minutes he continued to just calmly distract me with a casual conversation and Moroccan Berber history. Thank you for your kind service.

Good communication from company...

Ellen W, Mar 2017

Good communication from company regarding pick up time/location. Everyone I met was very friendly and they took pictures for me. I highly recommend this activity if you are looking for a local camel-riding excursion.

Stuart C, Mar 2017

Great trip in the sunset with the camels. The pick up was great as our taxi drive negotiated the chaos of the city expertly. Very good knowledge of the city so it was almost a sightseeing and camel ride tour! The camel ride was a bit hairy as you are very high up, but the handler looked after us very well and the camels seemed to be well treated. The sunset was amazing and a real highlight of the weekend,

Andy_H, Feb 2017

After being picked up by Abdul, we met our guide Saied, who looked after us so well...Dressing up for the part isn't compulsory, but come on, join in, enjoy it....looked good, lol....Then we trekked through the palm groves on camel back, not the most comfortable ride ever, but what do you expect?! Then we stopped for mint tea and pancakes, a needed break....then back to the beginning again....A brilliant experience and a lot of fun, you will not be disappointed!
