Summary:
I enjoyed both of the Starwars sets (mos spa and Chott el-djerid. Also Sidi Bouhel.
I wasn't so much fan of the salt lake as it doesn't match the beautiful colours you see online. I don't know if this is because you to travel to a specific spot to see that. I am just guessing.
Ong Jmal was also a low point. The driver kept say we could see a mirage in the horizon. I am not sure I could see it.
I would scrap Corbeille Nefta out of the Tour.

Summary:
Hamuda was a fantastic guide! We loved having him. He gave us a very fun day. This tour was more than just Star Wars (as truthfully there is not enough to see to cover a whole day) but we very much enjoyed all the “extra” things. Our guide provided good history, fun music and great companionship. We particularly enjoyed exploring the desert. Would absolutely recommend. Door to door transportation is a great touch.

Summary:
Very good tour. We were lucky because it was December and we were almost the only tourists. It was very cool to visit the canyon but specially the Star Wars locations! We loved Luke's farm :)
