BEST GUIDE EXPERIENCE EVER - I cannot even describe how AMAZING Aissam and Fatima are. We were feeling sick in the morning when pickup and they were both VERY empathic and took such good care of us - they went WAY beyond what I would expect from a tourguide. The trip is SO good. Long drives but they provide WiFi in the bus and aircondition. If you dont go for the beautiful tour, go to meet the super positisive and energic Fatima and Aissam 🌱🐫❤️🤩

Excellent tour avec Aissam et SIMO - The tour was magnificent, our driver was punctual, and the excursion very lively, I remember going on several excursions, this one was very well organized, thanks to SIMOU, whom I thank enormously, either for the choice of restaurant, or negotiating with the locals the prices of souvenirs. For the atlas studio, it was so hot, I couldn't enjoy it. But the visit to ouereazat was so good, despite the heat, I think because the view was so magnificent and so well explained. With the funny humor of SIMOU, it was so worth it. On our way back, This long drive back to Marrakech was softened by our driver Aissam's excellent choice of music, to which I salute him. My best regards from Nesrine the Algerian

Great! But take some food with you. - Very nice experience and journey! The old village is great! And the cinema studio is interesting to see. Our guide was very friendly and nice. The only thing- the restaurant they take you in has very bad quality food, another place choice would be recommended for the organizing. Everything else is really well organized and worth spending time and money.

FANTASTIC - Khalid was SUPER amaazzzing .. couldn’t have asked for a more professional, active listener who catered the entire package to our group’s desires! Truly exceptional tour and Khalid was personable, approachable, super knowledgable and allowed to take away cultural aspects about the community and dynasty that presided in Morocco! 🇲🇦 Thank you sooooo MUCH KHALID! Definitely recommend - worth it!

Beautiful UNESCO town but too little time there. - Had a great time in our tour accompanied by Issam(not sure about the spelling). Unfortunately we spend a lot of time in shops when our main destination should be Ait Benhaddou. Also the lunch time is too late. We get picked up around 7.30am but only arrive in Ait Benhaddou at noon and only have lunch at 2 pm. I wish the programme of the tour would be more focused on the history and architecture rather than shopping. The guides were great,though!
