Une expérience inoubliable grâce à une équipe exceptionnelle ! Nous avons passé un moment absolument formidable en famille. Au-delà de l’activité elle-même, c’est toute l’équipe qui a rendu cette journée unique. Un immense merci à Mohamed, qui orchestre tout avec professionnalisme, discrétion et une attention constante. On sent qu’il met tout son cœur à faire vivre une expérience parfaite à chacun. Un grand merci également à Ayoub, notre guide pour le quad, un véritable petit cœur de beurre ! Gentil, patient, drôle et toujours attentif, il a su mettre tout le monde à l’aise, des adultes jusqu’à notre petite fille de 5 ans. Il a su adapter le rythme et veiller à ce que chacun profite pleinement de l’aventure. Merci aussi au monsieur des chameaux, d’une grande gentillesse. Il a pris le temps de faire de magnifiques photos et a rendu ce moment encore plus magique grâce à sa bienveillance. Enfin, un grand bravo à Rachid au restaurant, pour son accueil chaleureux, sa gentillesse et son attention envers chacun d’entre nous. Là encore, notre petite fille a été accueillie avec beaucoup de douceur. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la personnalisation de l’expérience : nous n’étions pas de simples touristes, mais des invités dont chacun prenait soin. Toute la famille est repartie avec des souvenirs plein la tête et le sourire aux lèvres. Nous recommandons cette expérience les yeux fermés. Merci encore à toute l’équipe, vous avez largement contribué à faire de notre séjour au Maroc un moment inoubliable.

The absolute best thing you HAVE to do in Marrakech!! It was an absolutely magnificent experience!!! Loisir Experience gave us a wonderful boutique service. All the guides were super nice and expert photographers always kind and smiling. Ayub gave us an incredible desert quad tour, the traditional Moroccan tea was delicious and the camel ride was magical!! Thank you very much Mohamed for such a wonderful afternoon with such lovely people and outstanding service. Our private tour had everything and it was absolutely top notch at an excellent price. It is a definite MUST if you visit Marrakech!!

Une expérience absolument exceptionnelle dans le désert d’Agafay ! Nous étions seulement mon frère et moi, ce qui a rendu cette sortie en quad très intimiste et totalement personnalisée. Le guide était formidable : très gentil, attentionné et toujours souriant. Le parcours était magnifique et nous avons eu l’occasion de faire de superbes photos dans des paysages incroyables. La pause thé au milieu de l’excursion était également très appréciable et parfaitement organisée. On sent une vraie volonté d’offrir une expérience de qualité, loin des sorties de groupe impersonnelles. Tout était parfaitement adapté à notre rythme et à nos envies. Une activité que je recommande les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui visitent Marrakech. Merci encore pour ce moment inoubliable !

Bonne expérience Les 2 heures de quad dans le désert seuls avec Ayoub étaient géniales, la soirée resto spectacle est comme on l’imaginait, sans grande surprise assez touristique. Mais nous sommes tout de même satisfait de notre expérience car on a été bien guidé, on sentait qu’ils essayaient au max que l’expérience soit bien pour nous. Nous voulions pas faire de chameaux (cause animale et manque d’authenticité) donc on est ravis d’avoir trouvé une sortie sans.
