    Overpriced; book a group tour instead

    Narda_V, Jan 2026
    Overpriced; did not meet "private tour" expectations. Our inputs (need a bathroom break, let's stop for a picture, want options for restaurants) were overlooked. Instead we stopped at the driver's pre-selected locations. By the time we made it to the bathroom at the Atlas Studios, I could barely make it to the bathroom without wetting myself. We were not given options for restaurants; instead we were dropped off at a restaurant that only had one menu selection available for the day and did not accept credit cards. It was also hard to communicate with the waiter since our driver/guide did not stay with us to ensure we had ordered. Had mentioned when picked up we needed to stop at an ATM before leaving Marrakesh--did not happen. Instead we had to look for and use the ATM closest to the restaurant in the Atlas Mountains for the restaurant (located at a hotel compound) claimed they did not have a credit card machine. It took 3 tries for the ATM to finally worked. We took a private tour with a different company and had a completely different positive experience. The driver rushed us trough Ait-Ben-Haddou and giave very little information about why it has been designated a UNESCO Site. My husband barely had time to take pictures. The Atlas Studio tour guide (we paid for it separately) was very good. I would bypass this private tour and take a group tour instead (which you can find for about 1/4 of this company's price).

    Stunning scenery and a trip into history

    We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this experience. Our guide Omar was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip highly enjoyable. He chatted with us during the drive, letting us know about the various points of interest as well as a history of the region. The highlight was of course Ait Ben Haddou. It is a magical place full of history. A must see if you come to Marrakech. The Atlas Mountains are beautiful, it made the drive extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend this trip!

    Highly recommended!

    We had a fantastic time with our driver, Omar, who drove us gently through the winding mountain passes of Tiz n’Tishka on the way to Aït Ben Haddou and walked us through the old ksar before taking us to Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate. Omar was attentive and kind, and generously shared information about Berber life and culture (and played some great Berber tunes along the way!). We never felt pressured to buy anything, but instead enjoyed a very full day of exploring. Be prepared for a long day, and if you are prone to car sickness, take meds.

    Best tailored day trip

    Nick_D, Dec 2024
    This tour was awesome. So easy to book and coordinate. The car was comfortable and brand new, and its so much better to travel on a small group if you have the chance. Younes, our expert driver and tour guide/ translator was the best. He was truly friendly, patient and accommodating, making multiple stops for pics, and snacks, giving us the opportunity to experience this beautiful area and its culture . Thank you Younes, and Silence of Morocco! You guys are fantastic, we will come back and continue exploring and learning about Morroco.
