Excellent trip - Excellent trip! We really enjoyed it. Our driver was very good . On the way we stopped twice, once for teacoffee once for talking pictures. Aït Benhaddou and Ouarzazate are both fascinating places. We avoided the usual tourist trap of the arranged restaurant and found ourselves a much cheaper restaurant. Local guides in Ait Benhaddou should provide more historical, cultural, architectural details to make the trip even more memorable.

Fantastic trip! - Great trip with breathtaking views. The drive was smooth and cautious with various stops for viewpoints and photos. Long drive but enjoyable and lots to see on the way. Climb up to the kasbah at Ait Benhaddou was brilliant and views from atop are unbeatable. People are lovely in the village. Food was exceptional with great views. Ouarzazate was pretty with ancient antique shops and little traditional cafes. This is a must do in Morocco.

Fantastic - Fantastic trip. We were picked up on time and had stops at various view points including the Tizi n Tichka pass. The visit to Air Benhaddou was fantastic with a great spot for lunch. The guide was excellent. We watched organic painting workshop, walked through villages and climbed up to the kasbah. Great trip overall.

Very fun - It was very fun. People should be mindful of A) the long car ride (I personally really enjoy those!) and B) that this is a budget trip. Do not expect over-personal care etc. That being said, I can very much recommend the trip.

AIT BEN HADDOU KASBAH - The views from the top of the kasbah were breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista of the surrounding valleys and the Ounila River. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the kasbah’s role in history and its use as a filming location for many famous movies.

Everything as promised - Trip was organised well and everything went according to the plan. We had whatsapp contact with the company and the driver prior to departure, which I appreciated.

Great place to visit with humble people. - The trip started early and we were picked up close to our stay. Our guide was not very fluent in English but he still managed to convey his messages. He was also kind enough to bring some bags for my son who was having motion sickness. We were then taken by another guide to the village on extra charge which is optional. Lunch on our way wasn’t that great since the other restaurant couldn’t accommodate our group. Although It could be avoided if they reserved it beforehand but we didn’t go back empty stomach thankfully.

Rude tour guide and 40 minutes of waiting for pick up wasn't fun - The tour itself and the places we visited were all amazing, but our tour guide wasn't so pleasant. He was nice at first, but towards the end of the tour he somehow became very rude and didn't even thank us for the tip we gave him. Also our pickup had us waiting for over 40 minutes in the morning. Apparently there was a miscommunication between whomever we were contacting on this app, and the person in charge of picking us up.
