We agree with the other comments about this tour: yes, it is a long day (but we knew that before we booked) and it covers a lot of miles, but it is defiinately worth it if you are really interested in scenery. We loved it, and our guide and driver were splendid and full of information. The lunch we had was excellent too, and cost about £10 each. What a day!

We had a wonderful 2 days trip to Ouarzazate through the high Atlas, visiting Berber villages, Ait ben Haddou and the Ouarzazate film studios. Ismail was able to personalize this 2 days trip for my family. I am so thankful for that. We had a very good communication before the trip and Ismail was helpful to fulfill our needs. Sherrif, the driver was a very good driver. Ismail and Sherrif shared with us the Berber culture, food, and music. . He is easygoing and easy to speak to. Highly recommended!

We did the exhausting 12-hour tour into the mountains. But these two tall, quintessential Moroccan men straight out of a Hollywood movie patiently led us to some of the country's most exotic sites. Ismail was an incredibly knowledgeable guide with a great personality and a wonderful person to hang out with for the day. The driver Redouan was amazing, navigating crazy roads and patiently taking us all over the mountains. He genuinely paid attention to how we were feeling. These two guys are the best!

We had a great day with guide Ismail and the driver. Everything was like described in the tour-programm, and we even could make some changes to the schedule when we asked. The views during the day were great, we even had some snow, rain and lots of sunshine during the trip, but most of all really strong wind in Ait Benhadou. But thanks to the helping hand of Ismail we all came back safe :)

It was a fantastic day tour with Ismail! He knows everything about the culture and history of Morocco. He tried his very best to make our tour as comfortable as possible and he is very kind. No hidden extra costs! I would recommend very much! Thank you Ismail and the perfect driver

Ismail was a very good guide. He met us at our Riad and had a warm and welcoming personality, even after a long day traveling outside of Marrakesh to Ait Benhadou he still had a very positive attitude. We wish him continued success!
