    Very good experience, I 100% recommend this tour. Magnificent landscapes all along the road and especially arrival in Aït Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate! “Thank you to Zacharia who was super nice, and who also taught us a lot of things about Morocco which was very enriching! We also ate in a great restaurant! You should still expect to make a lot of road, we left at 8am and returned at 9pm but it is worth it. Thank you for everything, from Julien and Léa the couple from Marseille !!!

    The fantastic guide. The long but very pleasant excursion. Wonderful group members. The guide invited us to have breakfast everything typical of Morocco, adequate explanations in two languages, English and Spanish. I would repeat with the guide without hesitation !!! Although we had a flat tire going to eat at a Berber house, we had a great time and we enjoyed the beauty of that experience! The guide, being the women's day, at the last destination invited us to some Coca-Cola's and some typical Moroccan pastas. Let's go that the 8 occupants were very comfortable with the guide and the excursion

    We left early to travel to Ouarzazate and Ait-Ben-Haddou. We were picked up near our ryad by driver Abdelhaq and guide Massi. Both very enthusiastic and proud of their culture, what you can get from the stories they tell. The journey was long, but was interrupted several times for a lunch and a drink. Especially the moments of stretching your legs are worthy of the panorama. After a ride of 4 hours we arrived at Ouarzazate, where we were given a good explanation about the Atlas film studios that are located there. Here we had the opportunity to get a tour in the studio, which you had to pay separately from the tour. However, this is a modest price for viewing the various film sets. We continue the journey to nearby Ait-Ben-Haddou, the oldest Kashba in Morocco, which itself is a true film set. Major films and series have been recorded here and we were allowed to roam freely. A very long but cool day.
