Private Ait Ben Haddou Tour with Road of the Kasbahs from Marrakech

Même si la route est longue depuis Marrakech, les paysages sont magnifiques donc le temps passe vite. Le mini-bus était très confortable et notre chauffeur Mohamed excellent et très prudent ! A l'arrivée c'est l'éblouissement, un site d'une grande beauté avec une histoire riche, très bien contée par Ali notre guide berbère natif du village. Une superbe expérience que nous recommandons 1000 fois !

An excellent day out, if quite long. OK, it was a 3-hour trip to get to Ait Bin Haddou from Marrakech, but the route through the Atlas Mountains offered stunning views at every turn (and there were lots of them!) and was well worth it for that alone. But Ait Bin Haddou was just fabulous, and having a personal guide (Hassan) brought the visit to life, learning of the ancient and modern history associated with the site, especially all the major films that had used it as a location. Driving in Morocco, even when you get away from the chaos of the cities, can still be quite frightening, and so we were grateful to Sabir, our driver, who kept us safe and made the trip relaxing. It's a shame that his English wasn't up holding a conversation about something other than football, as we'd have loved to have engaged with him and learned about his life, and his views on world affairs from a Moroccan's point of view.

Excellent customer service from the moment I booked to the end. During booking, the riad I was staying at was not listed as a possible pick up spot, but within a few days, I received a Whatsapp text from Atlas Excursion to confirm they will make arrangement to have me picked up at my riad directly. Our driver, Hamza, was also very courteous and punctual. He made our 3.5 hour drive to and back very pleasant! Highly recommend!
