Ce sont de loin les meilleurs pour tous types d'excursions. Nous avons fait beaucoup d'excursions avec départ Travel et nous pouvons témoigner du sérieux, de l'hospitalité et du soutien de l'équipe. Notre fils est tombé malade lorsque nous étions en excursion de 2jours a tozeur. Nous avons pu compter sur toute l'équipe qui s'est relayée pour nous accompagner et être a nos côtés jusqu'à notre sortie de l'hôpital a Djerba. Le guide et le chauffeur ont pris soin de notre bébé comme si c'était leurs fils pendant toute la route, ils ont patienter plusieurs heures avec nous aux urgences malgres la fatigue et l'envie de retrouver leurs familles. Vous pouvez vous laisser guider par cette agence les yeux fermés, ils prendront soin de vous et s'adapteront a vos besoins. Oubliez les excursions des hôtels et des tours opérateurs, choisissez départ Travel et vous passerez les meilleurs vacances de votre vie.LudivineT31

Riding a quad to experience the white sand dunes was amazing. The food for all meals was lovely and camping in the Sahara under the stars was incredible.
