On the road to nowhere - We waited to be picked up at our hotel, on their list of departure points, but they failed to arrive. They didn't notify us of any issues with the point of departure, just didn't bother to notify us. We phoned the company and were greeted by a defensive and rather rude woman who kindly told us the mini bus had left without us. Surprisingly,we had deduced this already. If you enjoy paying to wait, going nowhere at all and talking to rude people then this is the company for you. If, however, you wish to travel to Ouarzazate, perhaps you should book elsewhere.

Internationally Spectacular!😉 - Very good experience to do I recommend, I was very well received by the driver Abdeljalil and our gîte for the Ouzoud Mzihour Lhoucine waterfall 👍🏼 A superb day, with the waterfall, the monkeys, the driver and the guide, and also the very kind sellers of cosmetic products, with explanations on argan oil, one even treated my face with one of her creams against dry skin without charging me 😁 I really liked the explanation of the Moroccan flag and their kindness to those who guided us showing the true meaning of being Moroccan 🇲🇦

Good experience - My travel agent Maryam was super flexible and helpful, big thanks to her for the hard work!
The destination is absolutely worthy for a visit, but be prepared that the journey will be long.

Nice to see the place but too many sales pitches. - The guide and driver were excellent but there were too many sales pitches on the places we visited. It was not so pleasant with the very pushy sellers. Also I was disappointed that we had to pay for entrance in the museums and for the guide. My initial understanding was that everything was included in the price of the tour.
