This was a fantastic trip. Our driver, Braham, was exceptional. The journey through the Atlas Mountains was spectacular. Ait Benhaddou was an amazing exploration. It was really relaxing to watch the gorgeous scenery around every corner. Merci beaucoup!!
This was the perfect private tour arrangement for our family of four to spend together on a day trip Said, our guide and driver, was punctual, friendly, and helpful. Most importantly he was flexible What we preferred was the chance to visit the sites and explore at our pace with only a little guidance. This was far better than most large tours with a stricter schedule. Said was someone we genuinely enjoyed spending the day with. He also helped us find good takeout food when we returned to Marrakesh.
We booked online and it was super easy. We were contacted by Said about the pick up time at the hotel and they were very flexible. Our guide Hamsa picked us up at our hotel. The car was very nice and good A/C. The trip was beautiful all the way going through the mountains to the two kasbahs Telouet and Ait Benhaddou in Ouarzazate. Hamsa was not only an awesome driver through the ups and downs curves of the road but was also very kind and respectful asking where we wanted to stop and how long we wanted to be at each place. Also he we could ask to stop to take pictures anywhere on the way and he would do :) The trip was beautiful not only for the historical sites but also a great nature experience. We definitely recommend not only the tour but Explore Sahara Tours. We will definitely come back to Marrakech and hire them again :)
