This was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The team was fantastic throughout the entire journey incredibly professional, easy to work with, and always willing to go the extra mile.
What truly stood out was their flexibility. Anytime we wanted to make adjustments or add something last-minute, they made it happen smoothly and without stress.
Their guides and drivers were not only extremely knowledgeable, but also warm, welcoming, and passionate about sharing their country’s rich history and culture.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Egypt in a meaningful, well-organized, and personalized way. A top-tier travel experience in every sense!
The trip was wonderful! We were impressed by the way the trip was planned. Great hotels and service by the representatives we dealt with. Our transportation vehicles and drivers were all very nice and had prompt pickups. Very thorough explanations of how things will work when we arrived in Athens.
The tour was absolutely delightful. There was a nice balance between culture and adventure within the six days. We bartered our goods in the vibrant souks, saw historical sights, and even the blue-street charm of Chefchaouen. Hakim, our driver, was outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, and made for a smooth and enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!
This is our first private tour and I must say it met all our expectations. Our driver/guide Carlo took very good care of us, told us informative and amusing stories along the way and took us to wonderful restaurants. He made sure all our needs our taken cared of. In Sicily especially I think the private tour is a big advantage as there are many places where only small vehicles can go through. We made the right decision in choosing this tour.

Wonderful guide and driver. We had a wonderful guide Selin. She is fluent in English and has very good knowledge of history. We like this tour very much. Very good lodging. 5-star tour.
This tour from Tangier to Marrakech was really above all my expectations. Well-balanced, plunging deep into cultural immersion in places like Chefchaouen and Fes, finding breathtaking natural landscapes like the Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert. Riding a camel through golden dunes at sunset in Merzouga is just magic and will stay in my memory forever. Indeed, each day was passed with different experiences-from the wanderings around ancient medinas to the revelations of kasbahs hidden from the world. That really made the journey one of great enrichment.
We took a 10 days trip from Marrakesh to Fes, through Ourzazat and Merzuga desert. Our driver was Mokhtar. We had wonderful time. mokhtar is a very skilled and friendly driver, knowing a lot about every region of Moroco. He knows good photo spots as well. The hotel we stayed in Ourzazat was boutique and very relaxing. The second night we stayed in a luxury camp at the desert, which was above the expectations. A great experience to see a lot of Morocco in relatively short time - I highly recommend Top Desert Tours and Mohamed! Such a variety of experiences and learnt a lot about the country, culture, landscapes, people. Thank you Mokhtar!
My 10-day Grand Morocco Tour from north to south was an unforgettable experience. From the enchanting blue streets of Chefchaouen to the stunning sand dunes of the Sahara, each day brought something new and exciting. The trip was well-organized, with a perfect balance of culture, history, and adventure. What I appreciated most was the carefully planned itinerary, which took us through Morocco’s most beautiful sites, from the Roman ruins of Volubilis to the majestic Kasbah of Aït Benhaddou.
The guides were knowledgeable and passionate about their country, providing us not only with historical insights but also a deeper understanding of Moroccan culture and traditions. The private transport service was comfortable, and our driver was always punctual and attentive. The accommodations were high quality, with stunning riads and hotels that perfectly captured the spirit of the country.
One of the highlights was the Sahara experience. The camel trek to the desert camps was magical, and stargazing under the clear night sky was something I will never forget. The local music in the desert villages added a unique atmosphere to this enchanting place.
