Excursion to Ait Ben Haddou via Telouate Kasbah - Abdellah our guide and driver is an extraordinary man, rich in knowledge, with an innate sense of sharing. Arriving on time at the agreed meeting point, he took us up to 2260m to discover his beautiful region of the High Atlas, at the gates of the Sahara, in a 4x4.
Arriving in Ouarzazate, we were able to visit this surprising city and the ATLAS film studio (8€/person).
After a lunch break, head to the exceptional Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, fortunately restored and preserved by UNESCO. The local guide Mohamed told us the history of his village.
The mountainous landscape of the Atlas is truly fantastic and amazed us.
We met locals and were able to understand their way of life.
To conclude, we recommend this agency 200%

Beautiful day! - I really had a wonderful day! Everything was perfect. The scenery along the way is breathtaking, the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou is a magical place full of history, the film studios are to be seen... but what made the success of this day especially was Shuayb who was an excellent driver and guide. He has been caring with me all day and has shared, with great humanity and warmth, the culture and history of Berbers, that of his country... Thank you very much to him! I highly recommend this excursion which is a thousand places from what is offered by the marrakchie tourist agencies. Here, authenticity, sharing and quality are really there.

Tour of the desert. - I made a tour in February 2017, with the guide Rachid Amllah, it was an incredibly fascinating experience, with images, texture, sounds, smells, cheerful people, a true cultural bath of a millennial culture. As was already expected, we spent fantastic days.The peak of our journey was when we headed to the desert, riding in camels at sunset, were moments that we will never forget.Later, at night, under the starry sky, we sat next to the fire at the sound of berbere music, and there we were exhausted, making us think how wonderful and perfect is the work of God. Ah! I can't forget and thank our guide Rachid for the affection that gently made a surprise party for our friend Adriana's birthday.
Our very thank you!!

Mustapha, who picked us up from our... - <p>Mustapha, who picked us up from our Riad, and our driver/guide, was amazing! He navigated the zigzag roads easily and expertly altho I must say, you need a strong stomach for those hairpin curves!. Once we got to the UNESCO world heritage site, the local guide, Mohammed, was knowledgeable and patiently explained the history of the Ksar Ait Ben Haddou. The breakfast and lunch were substantial breakfast came with the package, lunch we had to oay once there at the restaurant. Restrooms were generally clean. After Ben Haddou, we traveled about half an hour to get to Ouazarzate. Since we were not so keen to either go to the film museum or the Atlas film studio, we opted to just see the kasbah 20Dirhams entrance fee. I think we could have skipped the kasbah because Ben Haddou was spectacular enough for us. If you are going to Ouazarzate, I suggest better to tour the film studio. On the way, we also stopped at a lookout point to take photos of the snow-capped Atlas mountains. Beautiful. Overall, we were very satisfied with this tour.</p>

EXCELLENT ! 3 Day Tour of Ait Ben Haddou and Sahara desert, Merzouga - Excellent, Excellent, Excellent,
We are a popular travel blogger and a young family of 3, #CKv, we had booked a 3 day tour to Merzouga online after reading reviews of Discover Morocco tours and it proved to be the best choice. The owner Rashid kept us informed in run up and throughout the tour to make sure we have the best possible experience and Moroccon hospiatality. He made sure to give us the most comfortable private 4x4 with the best driver / tour guide Youssef, who made our entire journey memorable.
we literally had a road trip of South Morocco and Youssef stopped by every breath taking location and took us to the best spots on the way including Ait Ben Haddou, Tinghir Valley,Todgha Pass, Daraa Valley, Merzouga Desert.
They made us feel home, safe and the best holiday experience on this excursion. The trip was so fulfilling that we paid over and above the quoted fees.
To top it up they even provide us with free airport transfer with driver Mustapha who was very helpful, and warm person.
i would thoroughly recommend Discover Morocco Tours.
