“We had an absolutely wonderful day trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide, Karim, was fantastic! He was incredibly welcoming, professional, and shared so much interesting information about the history of the Berber villages and the local culture. It really made the experience much more meaningful than just a sightseeing tour. The scenery was breathtaking, and thanks to Karim’s great insights and friendly personality, we felt well taken care of the entire time. If you're looking for a great escape from the city, I highly recommend this tour—and definitely ask for Karim!”

“Itinerary was good, cant blame them for the distance but if you want to do Ait Ben Haddou, you gotta sit through the long day of driving almost 8-9hours. The total time from pick up to drop off was about 13hours and we were the last on and first off the van. Did not particularly like the lunch setting. Says its optional but we were all taken to a restaurant to eat on one large table so we didnt feel like there was much of an option for food that wasn’t great”

“Would not recommend this trip. It is very long and is marketed as seeing incredible Mountain views. For a total of an 8 hour drive through the mountains and back, there were incredible sights, but the driver will only take you to one stop the whole time- the rest are bathroom breaks with no views. On our trip, It was too foggy to see anything at the one place he stopped on the way there and the way back. I asked him privately if we could stop any other places to take a picture and he was adamant on just the same spot, even though all signs pointed to it…”

“viaggio tremendo durato un infinità alla fine per non vedere niente, un castello fatto di fango e paglia. non c'era nessuna guida, l'autista amhed ci ha fatto fare un viaggio che mi viene il mal d'auto solo a pensarci. non parlava né spagnolo e né inglese, dovevi capirlo dal suo francese. alla fine volevano farci pagare sia la gita di un'ora a sto castello per poi rifilarci un ristorante stracaro per 5 piatti in croce sul menu(sempre gli stessi couscous e tajine) Mi dispiace ho fatto altre gite ma questa è stata la peggiore. perfino la musica sul van mi ha fatto venire il mal di testa.”
