Great tour - The driver was a very gentlemanly man and safe and careful throughout the ride. Teruet Kasbah was closed due to the earthquake, but the driver stopped at many photo spots, including halfway up the Atlas Mountains, and I was very happy.

Excursion to the ancient casbah of Ait Ben Haddou incredible! - The excursion to the ancient casbah of Ait Ben Haddou was great! We had a great time, and Lahcen accompanied us throughout the day, filling the journey with historical anecdotes about the region. He was lovely to us. The visit to the casbah was also very interesting, it is something to do, I recommend.

Nice trip with top guide. - Today we did a fantastic day trip from Marrakech to the old Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou & Telouet-valley. Our guide Khalid, a friendly and sympathetic man, made our day to be the best of our stay in Marrakech. Thanks Khalid!

Beautiful morning visit in Marrakach - Mouhssine was a pleasure to meet and a wonderful tour guide. On the tour I had in April 2019, I got a deeper understanding of the history of the Saadian Tombs and Bahia Palace. He stopped and explained the various areas, sharing history and background. The Bahia Palace was incredible! Mouhssine was so kind to take pictures too. Throughout my visits, he shared little gems about Morocco culture, food, and places to visit. As we walked through the bustling streets and markets, Mouhssine made sure I was safe - always checking. It was only the second day I was in this beautiful city and a wonderful way to get a nice overview. I know my my visit would not have been the same if I didn't have Mouhssine guiding and explaining to me.

Look no further if you want to visit Ait Ben Haddou - Not really knowing much about what a trip to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou entailed, we met Khalid first thing in the morning and embarked into one of the best trips I’ve had while travelling in a foreign country. Perhaps it was to do with us being virtually the same age or that we were in the same car for over 6 hours but the journey felt like taking a road trip with a close friend. Apart from the fun and lighthearted atmosphere that Khalid gave off, we learned about the Arabic/Berber language & culture, the political atmosphere in Morocco and plenty of local tips & tricks. I would definitely recommend this trip to kickstart your trip in Marrakech. The tour guide for Ait Ben Haddou (if you’re a couple aim for at least a 10EUR tip) was actually from the century old town and was extremely knowledgeable as well. Look out for a guy called Ali. The journey to/from the site is lengthy so prepare appropriately. Overall 10/10 trip so look no further if you’re looking to visit Ait Ben Haddou.

Wonderful day trip from Marrakesh - We had an amazing time with Khalid on this day trip to Ait ben Haddou, He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and funny. The sights we saw were really some of the highlights of our entire time in Morocco. Khalid let us do things in our own time, was patient, and provided a lot of practical information about where we were, Marrakesh, and Morocco in general. Even the owner of the company called in to see if we were enjoying ourselves. Great company and great experience. Highly recommend!

Fabulous day trip with Khalid - We spent our first day in Marrakech with a visit to its beautiful rural areas. Khalid was an exceptional driver and tour guide. Warm, charming, knowledgeable, flexible, and funny -- he made a long day seem not so long at all. The best part of the trip was taking the "kasbah" route. The scenery was stunning and breathtaking. Seeing the small villages built using traditional methods alongside the riverine valley and farmed fields next to the river banks, all contrasted against the pale whites, ocres, and reds, was so incredibly special. So glad to have taken the trip. If you choose this trip, know that the roads are very windy and there are lots of elevation changes. All worth it!

Great trip and an even better guide! - Took this excursion at the end of November 2019 and could not have been happier. Easily one of the most pleasant parts of this trip to Morocco. The scenery is incredible and would have been worth seeing even without Ait Ben Haddou. The driver, Khalid, made the experience even better. He was personable, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to accommodate, including pointing out other vantage points to take pictures away from other tour groups. Everything was prompt including pick up and drop off. Was given plenty of time to see the sights and without pressure to hurry to the next place. Cannot recommend this trip and Khalid enough!
