 Verified Fantastic
Everything wonderful! I am happy to have chosen them, they were helpful in everything, the guy who came to pick us up to take us to Agafay was very kind, as were the guides who accompanied us during the two-hour quad bike tour. After an hour of the tour, they had us take a break and offered us tea, and immediately after we left again with another guide who took wonderful videos and photos of us. I am truly grateful for the experience and I highly recommend them.

 Verified Superb experience
Superb quad biking experience for the second time with Loisir Expert. The guides adapt to our level and offer us a unique ride in the desert. The short tea break at a local's home is very appreciated and allows for sharing a little moment out of time. We had the pleasure of having a private outing as a couple! Very good communication! Mohammed is very responsive and knew perfectly how to adapt to our request. The transfer is punctual and fast. We recommend it 200%!!

 Verified Exhilarating!
This quad bike excursion is the best one we have ever done. The Agafay desert setting was truly stunning, especially at sunset. There were many other quad bikes, cars and camels but all in the distance making it so picturesque. Our guide Ayoub joudar was brilliant. He made sure everyone was following and once he knew we all had good control he really sped up making the whole adventure exhilarating and fun. He took some great photos of the family for us and we stopped for water/tea and light fried bread with olives. The overall ride time was 1hr 15min, but it was getting dark, so maybe the earlier excursions you get more quad time. The quad bikes themselves were high end and allowing us to push the speed to 75kmph! The transfer to the desert was hot and uncomfortable but the return journey was more pleasant. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable experience. Family outing for 4 for 2 hours in the desert. Impeccable communication from France and on-site. Perfect pickup at the meeting point and on time. On-site and on the way, humanly super; we had a good laugh even on the road 😅 The ride was great. Magnificent scenery. Kind guide who takes the time to give advice. We totally recommend the entire Loisir Expert team; we will be back. Thank you for these memories 🙌
