There was a NO SHOW by Viator for this activity, VERY DISAPPOINTED since this was a main activity in our trip and we don’t have any more days to hire a different company.
Hassan was a pleasant and very generous guide. Sharing the experience of a local guide to discover secret places is essential. The dream!
I wish I could say I had a great time but they did a no show. No notice of cancellation. Not impressed.
Great stay! The whole organization was perfect from start to finish! Nothing wrong. I highly recommend it. I wish everyone this incredible experience.
Made the trip with some of my friends and it was excellent from start to end. Great sights and an amazing experience overall that left us with unique memories. Hassan's expertise and hospitality was the cherry on top! Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Ait Ben Hadou and its surroundings to anyone looking to discover a rich culture and varied landscapes. A real crush.

A superb day at the typical village, from benhedou, travel in the authentic history of the Berbers of the south of the atlas...I want to thank atlas trip tours for this discovery..
To give a different taste to my birthday I chose this excursion. I thank Atlas TT who made me a very good price and thanks to the driver I had a very nice day. I discovered the beautiful landscapes of the atlas and the magnificent monuments. Numerous stops, lots of pictures and especially a magnificent view at the top of the casbah. I highly recommend 👏
