This was the best day trip ever, loved every second of it. Yes it is a long drive there and back but in an ac van really comfortable, regular stops and an EXCEPTIONAL driver in Imad. He was brilliant in his banter but also quiet for us to enjoy the scenery. Music was complimentary to the experience not excessive or party gate. The restaurant that all seem to be taken to should be avoided, over priced and quite frankly not great menu... An apple uncut on a plate is not a dessert!! (to me anyway) there's a better restaurant, Auberge which was much cheaper, better menu and a better experience. The studio I loved and well worth the 80 dirham. I didn't go up to ait ben Haddou as it was hot and didn't fancy the climb so chilled in Auberge with a coffee.... Perfect. Honestly really good value, excellent driver and the group were also excellent. I got super lucky with all elements. Do give it a go!

Our journey to Aït Benhaddou and Atlas Studios in Morocco was nothing short of spectacular. From the onset, our excellent tour guides, Khalid and Morrad, elevated our experience to unforgettable heights with their impeccable hospitality, humor, and extensive knowledge of the local culture and history!

Thank you so much to our guide Abdelhadi and our driver Charaf for taking us to this lovely place. It was such a pleasant and fun day trip! We didn’t feel rushed and Abdelhadi was such a sweet guide making sure to make us comfortable and telling us not to rush on the trip. The trip started at 7am where we were picked up along with other people. We got back to Marrakech around 8:30pm so it is definitely worth your money. PS: You will get back quite late so don’t book another activity in the afternoon! We had a lady trying to rush us and demanding to our guide because she had a cooking class in the afternoon when clearly the day trip states it will take 13 HOURS. Despite that Abdel was still so lovely and tried to accommodate the other lady.
