This was a wonderful day trip from Marrakech. It looks like a long day but there are plenty of stops along the way and the scenery in the Atlas Mountains is breathtaking. Our driver, Mohammad was quite simply outstanding. The road twists and turns but his driving was smooth, safe and assured. He knows the road well! He was also polite, charming and looked after us very well. The minivan was a new Mercedes, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The pickup and administration was faultless. At Ait Ben Haddou our local guide was Saber who was born in the old village and whose parents, grandparents and for generations back had lived there. It was so interesting to hear the history and stories from someone who is so obviously proud of his heritage. Lunch was pretty good too. We would highly recommend this trip.

This tour is amazing and not to be missed. Experiencing Ait Ben Haddou in this way is ideal. This is a private tour that you can take at your own pace. Our tour guide/ drive Zaki was absolutely brilliant. His vehicle is spacious and comfortable. He was so gracious stopping whenever we asked for pictures and comfort breaks. Learnt so much on this tour. It was a lovely time. One of the best experiences I have had in Morocco!

Wow, what an incredible trip. We were booked at an all inclusive but wanted a bit more from our trip to Marrakesh. We booked this excursion (2 adults, 1 6yo), and Zaki our driver was incredible. He took us through the stunning Atlas Mountains and amended the stops to our preference. He was so friendly and a fabulous driver, making us all feel safe and welcome. The scenery and Ait Benhaddou were well worth the drive (3.5 hours each way). Our guide (Hassan) at Ait Benhaddou also amended the tour as we wished and we explored parts of the Kasbah that other visitors weren’t going, making it extra special. Travelling with a small child and a mobility impairment is normally very stressful but this was an absolute breeze and the best experience we had in Morocco. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Mohammed our driver whisked us from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou with some great stops on the way. Bought some cool geodes for my daughters and had coffee at a panoramic cafe. The Atlas Mountains are windy and steep but Mohammed kept us safe. In fact the road journey is fantastic, always changing and very picturesque. Then we arrived at Ait Ben Haddou where Ali our guide took us through this amazing place with wit and charm. The restaurant they took us too overlooking the city after the tour was excellent with very helpful staff. (Pity you can't buy beer as we all needed a cold one :-) Without doubt they highlight of our visit to Morocco!!! Very much recommended.
