You gotta go! - The only way to go is a private day trip. We had a blast. Our driver did not speak much english but he was kind and always made sure we were doing what we wanted when we wanted. He stopped when we wanted to take pictures . He made suggestions for these. He stopped for restroom breaks. My only issue was the restroom on the way home was absolutely disgusting. Anyway, his driving was impeccable . The car was clean. Ait Benhaddau Kasbah is so interesting. The Atlas Mountains are beautiful . The weather went from hot, to snow, back to hot. Dress in layers. The Atlas Studios we fun. The Guide is excellent. All a must to do. We made a short movie at the studios too. What a treat to bring that home. IT WAS FREE! WOW!!

Great tour - The tour was great, our driver was very safe driving in the mountains and stopped many times for us to take pictures and get refreshments. The tour was well arranged and we loved visiting the UNESCO site and the film museum.

Excellent tour - Very well organized trip in a comfortable car. It was a long journey but a private car helped us organize it to our own liking. We really enjoyed our trip despite the long drive. The views are very worth it.

Fabulous Tour - The view of the Atlas Mountains was spectacularly beautiful. The trip afforded this traveler a glimpse into a world only seen before in magazines and to experience the magnitude of the countryside was stunning.

We would recommend this trip, and Moustafa's service to anyone traveling in Moracco. - Mustafa was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. His English was very good and he communicated with us well from the moment we met. He was able to explain everything we wanted to know about the Moraccan culture of Marrakesh, Eit Benhaddou, Ozerette and the Berber people. The stops he arranged were interesting and informative. His vehicle was clean, well maintained and comfortable.

Beautiful location, but very long drive - We left from Marrakesh and it took about 4 hours to drive to Ait Benhaddou. The old town is amazing, but the second we parked the driver told us our guide was coming. I thought our trip included the guide, but the guy said his services started at 200 dirhams, about $20. I felt like we didn't have a chance to decline or look for anyone else. The guide walked us through in about an hour. He had us stop at several shops - I think he was trying to get us to buy local souvenirs. We then went to the movie studio and toured it but had to pay extra for the entry and tour. Afterwards we drove into Ouarzazate but there wasn't much there. We got out to look at the old kasbah but we're surrounded by tour guides so we decided to just leave. All in all it was a beautiful part of Morocco and a cool location, but I don't think I would do it again. We spent about 8 hours in the car for about 2.5 hours of tours/sightseeing.

Day trip to Ourzazate - Aadel was a very experienced and safe driver which you appreciate on this trip! We enjoyed Ait Ben Haddon but our young guide had difficulty answering our questions due to his language proficiency. The Atlas Movie studio has tours at set times and we did not want to wait 20 min for the 1 +hour tour. It’s a long day of driving, but one highlight for us was seeing the Noor Solar array.
