Customer Reviews
We did a private tour with Grand Sahara Adventures with an overnight in the desert and it was the best experience. We had the best fun and were able to immerse ourselves in the culture. Our tour guide Ftouma and our driver Ali were the best! I highly recommend them for your trip.
We (4 adults + 2 children) booked a Sahara day trip and camel ride back in May, and it was absolutely incredible! A massive thank you to our amazing guide Abbes and our wonderful driver Belgassem for making the whole experience unforgettable. Abbes was hands down the best guide we could have asked for - so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made us feel completely safe and kept us engaged and interested at every stop along the way. He even took us to a fantastic local food stop, which was such a highlight. This day trip wouldn’t have been the same without him. We couldn’t recommend this experience (and this driver!) highly enough. Thank you!
Great trip with friends, knowledgeable, kind & passionate guide Ftouma and driver. We drove through nicely preserved Berber villages, absorbed beautiful landscape, met kind people on the way and had very tasty local food. The overall vibe was wonderful however we wish our itinerary allowed (1) more time to enjoy certain places like the dunes at the camp prior to leaving, and; (2) skip breakfast at the camp to allow space for the heavenly shakshouka at the Berber house visit and the couscous lunch at a Berber family in Temerzet. Last but not least, the GSA agent Anouar went above and beyond to attend to our needs prior to the trip. I highly recommend traveling with GSA Tour for memorable South of Tunisia trip.
