Ait-Ben-Haddou and Ouarzazate Private Guided Day Trip from Marrakech with lunch

Hassan took great care of us on our trip, we learnt a lot about Morocco and a lot of fun along the way - it was definitely worth the long drive.

Everything worked out great. Very nice contact with the agency to clarify details. Were then picked up on time by our great guide Hannou. Overall, the trip is very exhausting because of the long drive ... but for us it was worth it. If you want to see Ait Ben Haddou, then I can highly recommend this operator.

A breathtaking drive through mountain passes. Air Ben Haddou is well preserved being a World Heritage Site and worth the walk into the citadel. An excellent lunch. Our driver Ibrahim was charming and a very fine and careful driver. The roads, following the earthquake, have been cleared and restored, but it was sad to see the damage to local villages and people having to live in tents whist their homes are rebuilt. Despite all of this they are charming and hospitable people. Souvenirs are as good and often less expensive than in major towns.

A must-see family excursion. Our guide, Salem, took the time to introduce us to a region and exceptional monuments. Very attentive and patient, Salem was able to put us in confidence on the twisting roads of the mountains, stopped at any time to show us beautiful landscapes and / or manage the heartache of our 9 year old daughter.

My friends and I booked a private tour with Explore Morocco Travel to travel the Marrakech-Ouarzarzate route. The experience was great, we had an unforgettable day. Lahcen was very professional, close and diligent throughout. The guided tours were very interesting and Lahcen driving was very safe and professional. We will surely repeat the experience with this Enterprise to know other places in Morocco!

They name this place as the Hollywood of Africa but I will try to re name this as Molywood, the town being in Morocco. We were there for the afternoon for lunch and the restaurant overlooked the wide road and serene town. Later we went into the Ouarzazate Cinemas Museum and so interestingly they still have the big picture of Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia besides Russel Crowe in Gladiator. We were lucky that day, they had some filming going on, and I think a very young 'Cleopatra' was there! Small museum but worth visiting.

It's been great! Our guide AHMAD came to pick us up at the riad on time in a comfortable 4x4, in Ouarzazat he took us to eat at a restaurant that tried everything (even leftover food) where we paid for the 3 only 115 Dh! We stop at an Argan cooperative where they sell a delicious honey! Stopped with the car whenever we wanted to take pictures, the views by the Atlas spectacular! AHMAD out of 10!!!

Just back from Marrakech with the beautiful landscapes still in our eyes we leave a very positive review for our driver Salem and our guide Monaaim who accompanied us on 14.02.19 to Ait-Ben-Haddou and Ouarzazate, departing from our Riad in Marrakech. They were very kind and attentive and spoke excellent Italian! The 3 hours by car are quite a lot and the pass road on the mountains very winding so I do not recommend it to those suffering from car sickness but they will be very nice and will make stops along the way. Ait-Ben-Haddou was magical, while the stop in Ourzazate I found a bit too short, I would have preferred the guide to stay with us instead of letting us turn alone only half an hour. Overall a very interesting experience. The next day again with Explore Morocco we booked the full visit to the city of Marrakech with the very competent and kind Said guide, splendid tour overall and also exhaustive in explanations with a very good Italian. A point of credit for the speed with which the agency has always responded to emails, if I can give advice instead I would say to be clearer about the cost of admission of monuments that you will visit in Marrakech as they are not included in the fee you pay and must be paid in dirhams. Overall I really recommend it!

I have been 3 times and want to return. It's a very photogenic place with much history and beauty. Many tourists just pass buy with little time to breathe the place in. I didn't find a place to stay over night on airbnb or booking but being there I noticed and visited a hotel so now I know its possible to stay overnight. Also, just by the bridge, there is a cafe that is a project to help local families...and then there are the several shops with barber goods. I enjoyed spending time chatting to the local sellers.

Hassan's service helped me tremendously for exploring destinations like Essaouira and Ouarzazate at my own pace, allowing me to truly absorb a sense of each place. Hassan ensures that travellers enjoy their journeys and have a better understanding of Morocco; recommended for visitors seeking a reliable Moroccan to navigate the country with them.
