Posted on Google Janet “Janet Abernethy reiki” AbernethyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked two excursions with Tazwit Tours during our stay in Agadir, and I would happily book with them again. They helped make our holiday truly memorable. The Desert Sunset and Dinner was an adventure from beginning to end! Travelling by quad bike across the dunes was something I hadn’t expected, and although a little daunting at first (especially at almost 70!), it became part of the experience. Walking barefoot through the warm sand as the sun began to set is something I’ll never forget. A word of advice to future travellers: take water with you, and don’t ignore the toilets at the car park before setting off into the desert! We were welcomed with Moroccan tea and biscuits before enjoying a delicious chicken tagine while watching an incredible fire dancer perform beneath a sky full of stars. The return journey by quad bike in the dark was surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to a thoughtful driver who made sure I was comfortable throughout. Our taxi driver also deserves a mention. He arrived early, drove us safely over an hour into the desert, waited patiently for around five hours, and then drove us back to our hotel with a smile. We also visited the Tree-Climbing Goats and the Argan Co-operative with our guide, Mohammed, whose excellent English, kindness and good humour made the trip a pleasure. Holding a baby goat (sadly, it wouldn’t fit in my handbag!) and learning how argan oil is produced were definite highlights. Thank you to everyone at Tazwit Tours for your kindness, patience and hospitality. We look forward to returning and exploring more of Morocco with you. One final request to fellow travellers: please take your litter home with you and treat this beautiful landscape with the respect it deserves.Posted on Google Irina RinnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I booked sandboarding and quad biking adventure on same trip and also I booked paradise valley tour and it was amazing experiencePosted on Google ПолинаTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience with Mohamed! Private transfer, really amusing desert sandboarding and lovely camel ride. The guide was very friendly, but gave us time together, it was a really perfect balance!

It was very great ride trip. It was like you meeting with your own family. Very kind staff. They helped us more we thought. They offered us a beautiful tea with snacks. We visited their gardens. They played a very nice music and beautiful crafted area to relax. My kids very excited. I can't believe in this small money they offer us a lot. Very very nicePosted on Google Andrei ChiroviciTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend! The lads are well organised and provide a great experience. We got picked up in style and taken to the Timlaline dunes for sandsurfing and quadbiking. Was one of the best experiences I’ve done for surePosted on Google Sandy MottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good experience all round. The tour guide Amine was a great guy and was helpful and also quite funny. Paradise Valley was good, we didn’t find the walk down and back up that difficult as it was February and around 12 o’clock and so it was not too hot. The water pools to swim in at the bottom are very refreshing, ie pretty cold, but it’s good fun. We were dropped off afterwards in Taghazout village and had a relaxing meal and little saunter around the place. The driver Mohamed picked us up from Taghazout and dropped us off at our hotel, he was also a nice guy. There were two of us and we were part of a group of about nine and it only cost £35 each. If you’re in Agadir I would highly recommend using Tazwit tours.Posted on Google MimsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Tazwit Tours for our transfer from Agadir Airport to our hotel. Everything ran very smoothly from pick-up all the way to the hotel. Very nice car and an excellent driver. We highly recommend this company. Thank you!Load more
