Tunis to the Sahara done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Solid operator.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Recommended.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Would send friends their way.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Solid operator.
The coastal and northern route here is straightforward and heavily visited. The far south and the Algerian and Libyan border regions carry travel advisories and nothing on this itinerary goes near them.
