Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou: Epic Kasbah World Heritage Day!

Scenery spectacular, guided visit of Ait Ben haddou good but no time to wander independently. Onward trip to ouzarzarte not useful, extra driving to have barely 1 hour there, no time to enter old town. Driving on return in the dark hair-raising.

The view was great. Aït 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

The Drive was very nice. Always stopped at amazing places for breaks. And the Berber guide 10/10. Um already excited to book the next tour.

Stopping at high mountain passes,breathtaking scenery and amazing views on the way to a wonderful historical sight

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 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.

The good, the bad and the ugly. Ait Ben Haddou is a must see. If you see one thing in Morocco make it this place. Awe inspiring, historic, storied. I still can not believe I went there. However getting there was a trip. I got picked at the Mefina in a small black van, driven to a Shell gas station not too far and our driver started panning us to other drivers. He was subcontracting us like we were bales of cotton. We just followed him around from tour bus to tour bus till all of us were boarded. Did not like that. At all. The driver never talked to us. He just drove. The tour guide was alright. I plan on coming back but will drive myself and choose a guide once there.

The first guide was absolutely brilliant,informative, affable and patient. As a group we were all drawn to him. The second guide was also friendly and informative.Very please

The trip was really good, the driver and the guide were fantastic, the view of kasbah eit ben haddou was amazing. Over all, i was very happy. I would recommend this trip.

I really enjoyed my time with you . Thank a lot for the nice moments. I hope to do it again as soon as possible thanks again.
