A must see - A great tour overall. We paid for a local guide when we got to Ait Ben Haddou and we went into the town to see the narrow streets and stores. The site was amazing and this tour is highly recommended.

Express ride to Ait Ben Haddou and Atlas Movie Studios - Totally worth it. You will travel in a 17-seater minibus through the Atlas (breathtaking views), to arrive at Ait Ben Haddou in the late morning. A local guide (fun and engaging) will show you the town and usher you to the lunch location (huge restaurant with good, value-for-money food). After lunch you have the option of visiting the Atlas Studios or a Kasbah. The Studios make for an interesting and light experience, it balances out with Ait Ben Haddou (unique, extremely interesting). Around 16h-17h it is time to return to Marrakesh, and prepare to be amazed by the skills of the man behind the wheel (we rode like a bullet through the Atlas). Besides, he was a chilled and helpful guy. Expect to arrive in Marrakesh before 20h.

Ait Ben Haddou - The best of all experiences. The driver was at the specified time there. Everything was well organized. The driver was driving safely the entire time. I would only recommend it further.

Beautiful - A real beautiful day, crossing the Atlas, many stops for photos drink a little bit, and what to have benadou, magnificent pictures to do, watch out a lot of walking to go up especially when it's very weather. Hot, it's worth it.

A Poster of Moroccan Culture: Ait Ben Haddou - Ait Ben Haddou, in my mind, is the poster for a Moroccan cultural experience. This is the day trip I would choose if I only can visit the Mountain Atlas once. I recommend to have a meal at the Hotel L'Oasis d'Or restaurant and order the chicken tajin.

Great Day out to visit Kazbar Ait Ben Hadouu - Driving though the Atlas Mountains was a great experience. We stopped off at many sigh seeing points on the way and the driver was very informative. Ait Ben Hadouu was beautiful to walk through with several vantage points with amazing views. It's worth noting you only spend an Hour in the the Ancient town and the tour guide costs extra €3 pp, but well worth it. Our driver, Sahib, was excellent! He was equipped with several fluent languages, incredibly funny and knowledgeable about the cultural history of the area. A great guide and teacher. Tanemmirt.

Corrupt military - The scenery and the info were great! I wasn’t told I would have to pay for a guide until I hit there and the guide that was supplied was doing and saying as little as possible! On the way there the military stopped our tour van 3x trying to make a dollar. And the second time they stopped us they forced me to pay them $50 for not wearing my seatbelt and if I didn’t pay they would give me a ticket! Overall great tour but there were some things outside of the tour that really tainted my visit

Coool - Excursion that goes well to Ouarzazate where some stop at the studios. The Taourirt Kasbah is really to be seen, classified heritage , with a Guide to understanding. The Berber village is also a wonderful place. Beautiful landscapes. The way out was therefore quite easy with several stops. The return of more than 4 hours was really long. The driver was a little nervous, not very chatty and argued with the people in the van. Not great. On the other hand very good driving although a little nervous on the return but I think he wanted to arrive not too late

Hard Yakka! - It’s absolutely hard yakka! So be prepared, be prepared nowhere, miles of twisting roads, very few stops and when you get there is one hell of a slap. But then you’re a tourist you signed up for the hard deal. I shouted at the Driver to get ventilation no chance of AC.
