Great day trip! - The view was great. AĂ¯t ben Haddou is a beautiful place. We also visited the Atlas Movie Studio. The tourgide in The Kasbah and in de film studio where very kind. After the long day the driver brought us back to our hotel

Go with the flow and enjoy Ait Benhaddhou - Ait Benhaddou is a great place to visit while in Marrakech! The visit was a bit rushed in our case as they merged us with a group that also had paid to see Ourzazate, which we ended up seeing despite not part of the original plan. So, the advise is to keep your mind open as things may not go strictly by the plan, but focus on the beauty that surrounds you. The car ride is long and a lot of curves - good to know if you get easily carsick.

A good day out but could have been even better - A long day much of which is travel to and from Ait Ben Haddau but now the road has been done up this is an interesting drive through the stunning scenery of the Atlas Mountains. It would have been greatly enhanced had we had a guide on the trip with us to tell us more about what we were driving through but the travel part was just a driver who didn't really speak enough of the foreign languages to be able to engage with the group. It would be worth a bit more cost to have a guide as well as a driver on the trip. At Ait Ben Haddau itself we had a local guide to tour the old village - there was some confusion over this because some of the group had this tour guide included in the price and others did not. It would have made life simpler if all bookings were inclusive of the guide. We were delivered to an excellent restaurant for lunch but had insufficient time to eat the set 3 course menu - we had to leave before the dessert was served. So a restaurant offering a quicker meal option such as sandwiches would be better than one limited to set 3-course meals that they can't serve in the time available. After lunch the tour continued to Ouarzazarte - if you're not familiar with the Moroccan film industry, it would be worth swotting up in advance - the film studios at Ouarzazarte came as a complete surprise to us along with the excellent cinema museum that we had a hour to explore. Again a guide would have been helpful for this part of the tip. Overall it was a good day out but a little bit disorganised at times. You can't help feeling that a small increase in cost to fund a guide as well as a driver would go a long way towards improving the experience.

Visit. - Many hours of minibus. The visit was good but very short. Food in a restaurant good but very expensive. Many stops along the way that are not necessary. We arrived 2 and a half hours later.

Day tour - Absolute mass tourism as well as mass handling. Return journey with completely unnecessary stops. Small rice bus with very tight seating. Lunch in a restaurant for 600 people Keyword station hall, well more semi. I can't recommend it. Duration about 13 hours.

Don’t book! No show - This tour shouldn’t be listed as it doesn’t exist. We booked this tour months ago. Yesterday we were supposed to get a text, as we did for other tours, with the pick up details but we got nothing. After we tried to get in touch with the agency several times with no success we tried the help line. The help line told us to try to be at the usual pickup location in the morning at 7.30. It was incredibly dissapointing to be there for a no show. If this tour is not operating it shouldn’t be listed and accepting payments. It messed up with our trip plans and it is very disappointing.
