Tour to Ouarzazate: Amazing! - The Tour was exciting thanks to our Guide Abdul and everything went smoothly and safely, despite most of the road being full of curves, thanks to Sophien's Guide! The main milestones: Ait Ben Hadduo breathtaking and Atlas Studios spectacular for the variety of films shot and anecdotes told by the Guide, who also involved us in the making of a mini film! The Tour starts and ends with a journey of about 4 hours in a mini van with all the comforts, punctuated by at least 2 breaks to stretch your legs or go to the bathroom. With Abdul and Sophien, highly recommended!

Ouarzazate (Ait Ben Haddou & Atlas Studios) - Beautiful day, super interesting trip and full of emotions! Our Guide Abdul was very kind, explained a lot of interesting things and was always super helpful. The driver, Sofian, very Good Guide, precise, attentive and very kind! The visit to Ait Ben Haddou deserves a lot even if it is not a small effort to climb to the top! If you are not particularly trained you may struggle. The Atlas Studios beautiful, must visit!

Waste of £100, very disappointing - Overall it was very disappointing and so not worth the money. We were picked up in a lovely van, transferred to another one which was pretty poor - 3 seats were broken, the aircon was mediocre at best. Late leaving Marrakesh. Stopped about every 60 minutes which was good but only 1 which where it was ok to take pictures. Saw a Berber village from a distance.. that was it. Confusion amongst the passengers about whether the film studio was or was not in the trip. Driver asked if we wanted to go to Ouarzazate or not (despite it being in the trip description). This didn’t mean visit the town, it meant driving past the film studio. The trip to BenHaddou was nice but would have liked it if we’d been asked if we wanted to cross the river via the sandbag stepping stone route vs the nice easy bridge… We didn’t explore the ancient town itself - just straight to the top and back out which was disappointing. As you would expect from an ancient monument, it’s not perfectly flat inside - be prepared for uneven steps and ground. Don’t wear sandals. Lunch - not a good experience. We were taken into a large restaurant and told we were eating there. No offer of, meet up here later. Again disappointing. Choice is limited. Other passengers said they were incorrectly billed. Suggest you take some snacks or your own lunch with you. Drive home was very fast and we were back about 20.00. Not dropped off at our arranged pick up point and not asked if we were happy to be dropped off elsewhere. . Luckily we had some data left so we could navigate our way back.
