The first part of the trip was great! We had a great guide in Ait Benhaddou (for a fee of 20 Dirham per person which is far from expensive). Very beautiful landscapes where we find emblematic filming locations like GOT and Gladiator. The restaurant is not great. Starter, main course and dessert for 130 dirham. Not very tasty and as we are not given a choice it is a shame. Then we headed to the film studio in Ouarzazate. We are not big fans, (80 dirham for one person) but the guide was nice and we enjoyed making a short film with him. Overall a good time but hang on, the road is long! If you have a great driver like us it should be fine :)

A wonderful day! The drivers are very pleasant and attentive to us! The vehicle is comfortable. The visit to Aït Ben Haddou is great, the guide explains the history of the village very well. The walk is magnificent (it climbs a little and the guide costs 20Dh). The visit to the Atlas studio went very well, the guide is great (80 Dh). The scenery is truly magnificent. I highly recommend this activity, the view throughout the bus ride is also superb!

It was great. We thoroughly enjoyed! Our guide was really enthusiastic and entertaining! He had lots to say and was able to communicate in multiple languages which was impressive! The stops were well spaced so we had plenty of toilet time, leg stretching and snack time. The places we visited were beautiful! We would definitely recommend this tour.

Only thing to comment on. It’s the guide who was excellent, sorry can’t remember his name but the man was absolutely great. Both myself and my wife needed assistance because difficulty in walking. He stayed with us and helped us many times. He is a fantastic man and please please pass on our thanks to him.

The sites on this trip are wonderful and well worth the journey. There was a lack of communication about the itinerary and logistics: • the trip doesn’t really include a guide. There are guides who ride with you from stop to stop but they don’t tell you about what you’re looking at, the history of these places, etc • in order to get a guide at the two stops *you need to pay them yourself in cash*. We didn’t bring cash and they very nicely stopped at an ATM for us but this could have been communicated in advance • the listing says 11 hours but we were picked up at 7am and didn’t get home until 9pm • the vans don’t have heat which was very uncomfortable in the morning and night when it’s freezing temperatures in January Basically what you’re paying for is just transportation—lunch, the tours are out of pocket. You get what you pay for but wish it was communicated more clearly

Rachid is a professional guide who can keep a large group together with calmness. Reliable pick-up. You spend many hours in the very comfortable and clean van. But the view of the beautiful Atlas Mountains makes the time pass quickly. Very interesting tour. I skipped the film studios myself and enjoyed a coffee in the Hotel Oskar. 5 stars for Rachid. And a big compliment to the organizer for the new and well-maintained vans. Unreservedly recommend this tour.
Helpful? Yes
The landscapes are super beautiful. The guide was rushing us a lot. In Ait Benhaddou, the guide was walking through the alleys so that we wouldn't stop to buy things in the other small stands. Because we only stopped at certain strategic places (partnership between them and some locals), to sell us things at exorbitant prices. Don't get fooled and don't hesitate to buy in the other stores, half price. In the description it is not noted that you have to pay 2€ per person for the guide in Ait Benhaddou. The film studios are nice but the visit with the guide is not great, 1 guide for more than 40-50 people, the conditions are not great.

The trip was very nice and knowledgable. Our guide Amine was well informed and amicable, open for questions and has explained everything we wanted to know. The local guide was also very friendly and gave us many interesting information about Ait Benhaddou.

Excellent guide Mohammed with a smile, polite and attentive driver! 10 with a tone. The tour guide Simo was also impeccable, he found a solution for every issue, good at the tour, well-read. The tour of the village by a southern guide was also very good, the price he asks for is 3 euros. The painting demonstration is interesting but clearly to sell paintings at much higher prices than in the village. The vehicle is clean and new. A beautiful experience at a very reasonable price. The food you recommend for lunch is quite good. Price 15 euros.

Nice excursion, great trip, capable, kind and careful driver. It was a nice day.

Our excursion to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate was simply perfect. The guides were excellent, taking the time to explain everything well and share fascinating details. Throughout the journey, we had a wonderful time with Khalid, discussing many topics: the history of Morocco, the cultural richness of Marrakech, and even anecdotes from daily life. A memorable experience, made even more enjoyable by the kindness and professionalism of the entire team. Without hesitation, we would go with the same agency again. A huge thank you to Khalid, Mohamed, and the entire team for this unforgettable stay.

The tour was not as described: we booked a tour in French, it was in English, it said that we had to bring sunglasses and a sun hat, but it was very very cold and we should have brought our winter jacket instead, it said that we would be picked up at the hotel or at the closest place to our hotel that a car could reach, but we had to walk for 15 minutes to get to the meeting place at 7am when the market was not yet open… which is really not very recommendable and scared me because we had almost been robbed the day before in a similar situation. Because of this we wanted to cancel, but no one ever answered us. The sites are beautiful, the transport was on time, but 0.0 points for communication.

The excursion is very interesting, it allows you to visit beautiful and unique places. Ait Benhaddou is a must, and the Atlas studios are interesting as well. Our assistant Rachid has been very kind and available for us. Important note: make sure you have the right outfit for the excursion, as it could be very cold. Moreover, make sure with your assistant about the time necessary to visit the different places, for instance we have been given a short time for visiting the Atlas studios (1 hour wasn't enough).
Helpful? Yes
Ait Ben Haddou is very interesting and was the highlight of the trip. Our guide there was very good. If you could choose your own lunch/restaurant it would make the trip better. But we were taken to a restaurant. Lunch was a disgrace...the restaurant Le Kasbash Etoile is absolutely not recommended, a pure tourist rip-off. The worst meal in 10 days in Morocco. For dessert we had a plate wrapped in foil with 3 small apples and mandarins and 4 sweet pastries for 4 people...we all had a set meal and one pastry had already been bitten into. The Atlas Studio is OK...but the tour could be better organized with smaller groups...divided into English and French...and the guides could have been equipped with microphones. All in all a long day...Ait BenHaddou deserved more time

Very good trip! Rachid was a friendly and excellent guide! I recommend it…
Helpful? Yes
The tour as a whole is very worthwhile considering the sights: the old Kasbah and the film studio. What is outrageous, however, is that you had to pay extra for the guide through the Kasbah, that the very inedible lunch cost 15 euros per person and that you had to rush through the film studio - again with a guide - and hardly had any time to linger anywhere to take a closer look. I recommend exploring such sights on your own.

Rachid was very helpful, kept us informed on pick up. Great to see the fort and a wander around. Wasn't keen on the choice of food resturant, very expensive and choice was not great.

It's a long day so apart from resturant would recommend Rachid and the trip.

Helpful? Yes
This tour has the opportunity to be really great. The landscape is beautiful and the sites are so unique. Unfortunately, the primary guide didn’t provide us with any information during the entire trip and the guide at Ait Benhaddou provided very basic information. We learned more from overhearing other guides and looking things up ourselves. The guide at the film studio was awesome and really engaging and provided information in both French and English to ensure everyone could understand. Lunch was ok but the server was rude and was more concerned with getting us in and out quickly. The driver sped, tailgated, and passed other drivers on the mountain roads which resulted in us almost getting in an accident multiple times. This was the second tour I did with this company and both had the same issues. I would recommend using a different company if possible.
Helpful? Yes
The one-day excursion is organized so that you can visit Ait Ben Haddou and the Atlas Studios in Ourzazate directly from Marrakech crossing the Atlas Mountains. In winter I recommend layered clothing because it is very cold in the mountains. Several breaks are planned for breakfast and bathroom breaks. If you suffer from car sickness bring travel gum because there is a long road to travel with hairpin bends, climbs and descents and Moroccan traffic is heavy. The guide Zoubir is super nice, he kept the group compact and made us respect the times, I would have preferred a little more knowledge. The driver Yassine was a bit reckless but in Morocco it is normal. The van was comfortable with wifi and seat belts! Overall we enjoyed the excursion a lot and we recommend it to be able to discover these fantastic places and see with your own eyes these breathtaking landscapes. The company is reliable, we will look for other excursions with them!

GREAT. Everything was perfect, the scenery is beautiful and the tours fun. Issam speaks very good English, Spanish and French and was very attentive to all of us, he is very good at dealing with any problem that might arise and very friendly, thank you again! The driver Ismael even gave me his spare flip-flops to continue after a mistake on my part ???? It should be noted that it is necessary to plan per person 130 dh for the meal, 20 dh for the guide in Ait Benhaddou and 80 dh for the visit to the Atlas studio.

【Driver】Good.He speaks mainly french and arabia and a bit of English. His driving skill gave us an comfortable time. 【Operation】Terrible. 1.If you want to spend your vacation in a car in which a baby screaming the whole day, this tour would be a nice option. 11h car trip is obviously not suitable for a baby. Minimum age restrictions is required for this tour. 2.We arrived at Marrakech after 21:00, which is 3 hours behind the schedule. We ended up canceling a plan after this tour. I asked the company about the cause of delay, but they ignored my message. 3.You MUST bring cash at least MAD 300. The average cost for the restaurant was 150~200. The English guide cost 25. Atlas studio MAD80(We skipped and went a cafe instead). 【Wi-Fi 】Wi-Fi was not working in the most of our trip. Be prepared
Helpful? Yes
You MUST take cash with you for this one. A part of the tour that isn't covered in the package can only be paid by cash and I didn't realize. This isn't the driver/guide fault. In fact Toumi lent me some money to pay and then I could pay him later when I found an ATM. His service was all around 5 stars. The tour itself is great and teaches you a bit more about Moroccan history. I would only perhaps skip the Atlas Tour unless you really are a cinema fan.

The trip was very pleasant, and the guides were professional and nice. Overall the schedule was not too tight even though I was little worried about that prior the trip. The pick up from our riad went smoothly and we could see the Atlas Mountains stress free with a great company. Personally for me, the trip to the studios was unnecessary but I still had nice time there.

Good trip overall - I have done it twice: once a few years ago when I was in Morocco on my own and now with my family.

Here is what to expect : - no heating in the car, have caught a cold - extra fees to pay tour guide in Ait Ben Haddou (25 MAD) + tip, that weren’t pre-declared - poor quality lunch in partner restaurant with set tourist menu (130 MAD) It was fine, but not worth the hype, even though Ait Ben Haddou is stunning. Guide from click excursions was OK, but barely gave any information, just felt like a second driver. I recommend that you do your own research before hand if you’re keen to learn. Local guide at Air Ben Haddou was very good. Atlas studios was pretty unimpressive, not much to learn, just an insta trap for wonky pictures.

Yesterday we went to Ouarzazate, an impressive Moroccan city with a lot of charm. I liked that we were able to stop and enjoy the landscape. But the journey there in the van bus was anything but pleasant. The driver drove extremely aggressively, rushed around bends and made us feel unsafe. We had to pay an additional 30 dirhams on site, and even 80 dirhams extra for a further trip. The return journey was particularly unpleasant: the driver left the windows open even though it was cold and refused to turn on the heating. The draft was so strong that we caught colds. Here too, the driving was reckless, which made the journey very stressful overall. Ouarzazate is beautiful, but the transport was a disgrace.

A lovely day trip! Said was very helpful with all of our questions and helped us with the organisation. Yassine drove us safely and carefully - both did everything they could! The only thing that bothered us was that you have to factor in some extra costs, as the tours are run locally by various external guides (Ait Benhaddou 20 Dirham, Atlas Studios 80 Dirham) and lunch is not included in the price. Overall a lovely tour, it would be great if you could include lunch in the tour price, for example.

Our trip to the Atlas Mountains was absolutely incredible! The stunning views, traditional Berber villages, and peaceful atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have Rachid as our guide—he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we all enjoyed and learned so much about the local culture. He really made the trip special for everyone. A big thank you to Rachid for his kindness and professionalism! Our driver, Omez, was amazing too! The mountain roads are not easy, but he drove carefully and safely, so we could relax and enjoy the journey. One small suggestion for future trips: sometimes the winding roads made a few of us feel a little unwell. Maybe playing soft music and keeping the air conditioning on throughout the drive could make it even more comfortable. Thank you, Rachid and Omez, for giving us such a wonderful and memorable day. Highly recommend this trip!

The guide and teansportation was great, I don't have any complaints there. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars was the restaurant they took us for lunch. It was awful. The service was bad, food tasted bad and had lots of hair in our food and overall expensive for what it is. I'd much rather have an hour of free time for our own search of lunch than go to that place. Others also left a lot of their food as it was inedible.

We loved the excursion, I highly recommend it. We couldn't have had a better guide than Rachid Haziran, even though the language for this excursion was English, he did everything possible to communicate with us in Spanish and we felt integrated from the first minute. He managed to get the whole group to interact despite our different nationalities. The driver Fajer demonstrated his great experience and skill behind the wheel, we felt safe throughout the trip despite the dangerous curves on the route. Mention should be made of the guide from the town of Ouarzazate (I'm sorry I don't remember his name) who, upon learning that we were Spanish, also communicated with us in Spanish and also helped me with my difficulties in going down the steps of the village. Thank you all very much, a big hug.

The excursion is very long. At least 3 and a half hours there (5 for us due to work in progress) and back, but the bus is comfortable with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The transport service is excellent. It is a demanding excursion and more expensive than average (you have to pay for lunch, entrance tickets and various tips) and if you are not a fan of cinema, the visit to the Atlas studio (film sets) is not worth the five hours of bus and the €8 ticket, even though the guide inside is very nice. Some of the photos you see are of film sets, so not real (in particular the photo with the large columns and hieroglyphics). Anyway, thanks Ali, really nice and good!

Rachid showed us his region, what a joy. We saw wonderful landscapes and places. Very nice excursion, superb day. Special mention to Bouja, our driver who transported us gently, despite the winding roads of the Atlas. Thank you both for this incredible day

We took the trip with our guide Rachid and driver Bouja. It was a really great experience! As a first timer to Morocco this was the perfect day trip from Marrakech as you first get to see the Atlas Mountains close up, after that the old village of Ait Benhaddou followed by the Atlas movie studios. Really great driving by Bouja through the twisting and turning roads through the mountains and really great narration by Rachid who made sure that we got the best guides at the stops and gave us great information about everything. Highly recommend this trip if you’re into history, architecture, culture and of course movies ! The Atlas studio tour was especially nice!

Who.. what an incredible day! For any Game of Thrones or gladiator fan or simply cinema fan, go for it! It's exceptional! Remember to take 200 dirham for lunch and leave 20 dirham for the guide! Also remember to take a vomit bag just in case. Personally I needed one aha so take it! The day was incredible

Ait BenHaddou alone was worth the trip, the atlas studios was also great! Guide very friendly and gave us information about everything. The journey was smooth and all ran well, was well managed and great value for money- Only minor improvement is lunch could have been at a nicer place.

unfortunately our trip was overshadowed by the low quality of the driver. I took the trip for 5 other people and our lives were put in danger several times. I don't recommend

We took the excursion guided by Rachid Haziran and Fajer. One of the most beautiful experiences of the trip to Marrakech. Ait Benhaddou is a must to visit and even the panoramic road to get there is an experience. You pass through incredible mountains and small villages, you see a slice of Morocco that you can't find in Marrakech. The visit to the ATLAS studios (8€) was not particularly interesting
Helpful? Yes
An excursion that is clearly worth it! The guided tour of Aït Ben Haddou is great, the guides make sure that you have all the information and that the day goes well. We were skeptical when we saw the reviews for the studio, and finally we were pleasantly surprised. Even if you are not a big movie fan, it is still the largest studio in Africa. The sets, having been used for international films, are impressive. The guides speak several languages, you can ask them all the questions you want. We recommend this day full of change of scenery.

Our visit to Aït Benhaddou was fantastic, thanks to Sadok and Khalid. Khalid, our driver, ensured a smooth and comfortable journey, skillfully navigating the winding roads of the Atlas Mountains. Sadok, our guide, brought the site to life with his deep knowledge and engaging storytelling. He explained the history and cultural significance of the kasbah, making the experience truly immersive. The panoramic views from the top were breathtaking, and the personal touches from both Sadok and Khalid made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommend this duo for an exceptional experience!

The journey was a bit long but it was worth it. The village of Ait Benhaddou transports you back in time. Our guide was great, caring and very friendly.

Fantastic day out! Beautiful drive through the Atlas mountains with great views along the way. Really nice driver and guide until we got to Ait Ben Haddou. Super guide that showed us the village and told us all we ever wanted to know about the village, gave us some true insights and adjusted to everyone's pace climbing up to the top. He made every one feel comfortable and made sure everyone was ok. Very friendly. We then went on to the Atlas studios. The tour was informative, a little bit rushed but we were all super tired as it was an early start of the day. Next time I'd stay overnight as it's a long drive there and a long drive back but all doable if you only have limited time. For us, it was a fantastic overview to want to see more of it next time.

Pros: Amazing landscapes along the way to the destination, nature, mountains and authentic villages. This alone is worth the price of the ticket. Punctuality and good coordination on timing. Cons: I recommend providing more precise and detailed information on extra costs and payment methods. Very touristy lunch restaurant, it would be nice to stop in more authentic and less touristy places during the trip.

We received pick up details in advance. It was 3 mins walk from our hotel. The trip was as explained in itinerary. The road was really long, 3 hours, but we had a great time. Abdul gave us a lot of information about history and Ait Benhaddou. It is an amazing place. We didn’t go in the film studios, but other loved it too.

We had a wonderful day with the guide Safi, who had a lot of interesting things to say about Aït Benhadou and Ouarzazate. Our driver Anas was world class and didn't let anything bother him. Top notch! The guide in the Atlas Studios made the visit an unforgettable experience with lots of background information and a great surprise at the end. Thumbs up here too ????????

Overall disappointing experience... The guide in Ait Ben Haddou was nice but super rushed, we didn't have any time to stroll through the alleyways, buy souvenirs or get a glimpse of the village. We were promised a restaurant with good views but got zero views and low quality food. The useless stop at Atlas Studios could have been avoided in order to have more time in Ait Ben Haddou. I don't understand all the positive reviews, I guess people are just happy with getting a quick picture and leave... FD90

Nice excursion. Unfortunately the declared times are not respected. The refreshment points are typically of people friends of the guides so you are a bit forced to buy or eat where they say.

Notre guide llias était vraiment au petit soin avec nous ! Si vous réservez cette excursion je vous souhaite de tomber sur lui ! :) Concernant l’activité, elle est plutôt sympa, bien que clairement attrape touriste. Ne vous attendez pas à quelque chose de réellement atypique. Cela mit de côté, on passe tout de même un moment agréable et c’est le plus important :)

en general el tour es muy completo y con actividades muy diferentes. no lo sentí cansado aún cuando son varias horas en carretera. la microbús era muy cómoda y con a/c. se hacen varias paradas para estirar las piernas e ir al baño. Atlas Studios es genial , por favor no se lo pierdan, vale muchísimo la pena, se pueden tomar fotos muy instagrameables

One of the best trips i've ever had. Bouja and Badr were very friendly and always cared for our wellbeing. We saw beautiful sites with incredible guides. The 3 hours drive didnt feel very long, because we could see the besutiful scenery and the stops at the several places. Would definitely recommend it!
