Pick up was very punctual and overall there was good communication. The trip in the desert was average, I have experienced it better but also worse. The program was rather an economy variant due to the few participants. What was positive was that the food on offer was very good. It was also good that we were not forced to give a five-star rating. Other organizers do this in order to achieve their 4.8+ rating. Overall a good provider!
