Ait Ben Haddou und Ouarzazate Tagesausflug

The driver was excellent and very friendly. We had a small group (12 people total) which was more comfortable and calm. We did everything that was listed in the trip description and got enough time to visit on our own too. The scenic route was definitely a highlight too. Can highly recommend if you want to discover the south but want to avoid large groups or driving alone.

4 hour ride to the city Ben Aid Haddou. Drive itself was quite nice thanks to our driver. He stopped to let us take pictures, explained a bit about the landscape and elevation we were in. Aid Ben Haddou itself was infested by tourists. You couldnt get through sometimes due to the sheer amount of tourist. The guide in Ben Aid Haddou we had was nice in the beginning and during the tour, the moment it finished though, he disregarded any niceties and just asked us to pay for the guided tour with a dead look in his eyes. 3€ is not much in europe but definitely in Morocco, so this was quite uncomfortable.

We also ended up going to the Atlas Studios theater production area. It isn’t really something I would have wanted to do, but it was educational and cool and the whole trip was great.

This one-day trip from Marrakesh was very interesting in terms of the sightseeing and the places we visited. However, there were some issues regarding the optional activities. For example, the local tour guide at the Kasbah, who met us at the bus, informed us in the middle of the tour that we had to pay an additional fee, even though this was not mentioned at the beginning. The guided part lasted only about 10–15 minutes, and for the remaining hour we were walking around on our own. A similar misunderstanding occurred at lunchtime in Ouarzazate. The bus driver initially told us that we would depart immediately after lunch. I would have preferred to take a short tour of the city, but after lunch he changed the plan and said we would stay for another hour. Overall, the trip was good, but there were several moments when I felt that the focus was more on charging extra fees than on providing a smooth and transparent experience.

It was a long but great outing to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate (including Atlas Film Studios visit), made easier by our wonderful driver Charaf, in quite challenging weather conditions (snow in the mountains crossing). Ait Ben Haddou is wondeful and, while going up, I felt close to being a Time Bandit!

Our guide Youssef was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. He was extremely helpful and courteous. He took time to explain many aspects of Moroccan culture which really made the whole experience enjoyable. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great experience and friendly and informative guide and driver. Once in a lifetime excursion! Big fan of mountains and history and this had a lot of both.

Very good experience Discovering the kashbas route is great. Ait ben haddou superb ..very nice site and interesting studios in Ouarzazate

I would never book this trip as there was no added value to book it like this as you also can do exactly the same if you book a taxi towards it.

This was a long day but filled with history and information shared by the knowledgeable guides. Multiple bathroom stops are provided (thankfully) and it was an all over great experience. Would recommend. Communication is great through WhatsApp. Bring dirham change for the bathrooms.
