Fabulous Tour - The view of the Atlas Mountains was spectacularly beautiful. The trip afforded this traveler a glimpse into a world only seen before in magazines and to experience the magnitude of the countryside was stunning.

We would recommend this trip, and Moustafa's service to anyone traveling in Moracco. - Mustafa was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. His English was very good and he communicated with us well from the moment we met. He was able to explain everything we wanted to know about the Moraccan culture of Marrakesh, Eit Benhaddou, Ozerette and the Berber people. The stops he arranged were interesting and informative. His vehicle was clean, well maintained and comfortable.

Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou in a day - We organized a 16hour day trip with Soufian. He was punctual and the car was new and in good condition. His choice of stops gave a great vantage point to see the views or have a good coffee break. We drove back at night and Soufian made the trip pleasent. We were able to cover both Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou in a day covering a number places including Ait Ben Haddou at sun set. I will be happy to use Soufian for future trips.

Fabulous days in Morocco - It was my first time visit to Morocco. After arriving at the Marrakech airport Soufian received us on time. He was very well mannered and skilful driver cum guide. We loved his smiling face. Our 4 days stay in Marrakech was a memorable one due to his accompany. We've visited Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou, High Atlas mountains, Tizi N'Tichka pass and Esaouira, and took part in a Moroccan dinner and culture show with Soufian. We felt very much comfortable with his driving and guidance. I've already recommended him as a very good tour operator and a guide cum driver to my friends and relatives who are intended for having a visit to Morocco. Thank you Soufian for everything you did for us.

Day trip to Ourzazate - Aadel was a very experienced and safe driver which you appreciate on this trip! We enjoyed Ait Ben Haddon but our young guide had difficulty answering our questions due to his language proficiency. The Atlas Movie studio has tours at set times and we did not want to wait 20 min for the 1 +hour tour. It’s a long day of driving, but one highlight for us was seeing the Noor Solar array.

Interested experience. Despite the long journey I do not regret it. - Overall very interesting experience. The sites visited were amazing. I have only good things to say about our driver, Muhammad. It was like travelling with a friend. However, if you are not fit to spend 7 hours on a ride through not very comfortable road network please reconsider. Your are going to spend more time in the van than actually at the Kasbah. We had to be very efficient regarding time management so we could enjoy the most. But with the impression of rushing. If you are very enthusiastic about visiting those sites then you should better book the private tour. Otherwise, just simply choose another day trip destination. Many thanks to Muhammad.

Unpleasant Experience - No issues with guide or vehicle. However, we were not aware the roads between Marrakech and Ouarzazate were under construction and the 10-hour round trip was torturous. Mountainous switchbacks, I got mild car sickness even though I rode in the front seat. Chewed several ginger gums the entire trip. Had to stop several times for construction work. Road conditions were hazardous, several areas of enormous rock boulders above us with no circumnavigation available if there was a land slide. Was stopped by police for inspection, one of our co-travelers in the middle seat did not have a seatbelt on. Was fined 300 dirhams ($30 US) which she had to pay. We don’t remember guide telling us seatbelts were mandatory. We only saw Ait-Ben-Haddou from a distant viewing point. It was too late to cross the bridge and hike into the structures. Atlas studio tour in Ouarzazate was fun and our guide was interesting. Overall would not do again because of the road condition and not being able to really experience Ait-Ben-Haddou. Guide told us they’ve been working on the roads for the past 4 years.
