Nice day out

Catherine_B, Feb 2025

Nice day out. The scenery is breathtaking. We couldn’t access the Kasbaha as there is a movie being filmed. It’s a long day but worthwhile doing to see the countryside

Waste of £100, very disappointing

Antonia_d, Dec 2024

Overall it was very disappointing and so not worth the money. We were picked up in a lovely van, transferred to another one which was pretty poor - 3 seats were broken, the aircon was mediocre at best. Late leaving Marrakesh. Stopped about every 60 minutes which was good but only 1 which where it was ok to take pictures. Saw a Berber village from a distance.. that was it. Confusion amongst the passengers about whether the film studio was or was not in the trip. Driver asked if we wanted to go to Ouarzazate or not (despite it being in the trip description). This didn’t mean visit the town, it meant driving past the film studio. The trip to BenHaddou was nice but would have liked it if we’d been asked if we wanted to cross the river via the sandbag stepping stone route vs the nice easy bridge… We didn’t explore the ancient town itself - just straight to the top and back out which was disappointing. As you would expect from an ancient monument, it’s not perfectly flat inside - be prepared for uneven steps and ground. Don’t wear sandals. Lunch - not a good experience. We were taken into a large restaurant and told we were eating there. No offer of, meet up here later. Again disappointing. Choice is limited. Other passengers said they were incorrectly billed. Suggest you take some snacks or your own lunch with you. Drive home was very fast and we were back about 20.00. Not dropped off at our arranged pick up point and not asked if we were happy to be dropped off elsewhere. . Luckily we had some data left so we could navigate our way back.

Passeio a Ait Ben Hadou

Giuseppe_B, Nov 2024

Excelente viagem para conhecer Ait Ben Hadou e o museu de cinema. Este apesar de simples é interessante de conhecer. Agradeço ao motorista Driss pela cordialidade e pontualidade e ao guia Mohamed pelo conhecimento e entretenimento durante q visita.

Bello ma organizzato male

Loredana_C, Sep 2024

Luogo magico, una bella panoramica del Marocco. In una giornata si visitano due luoghi scenografici e si ha un assaggio di quello che si trova al di fuori di Marrakech. Bravi le guide (la nostra era Abdhul) e l’autista che ha guidato per tutto il giorno su strade difficili ed impervie. Il problema è che l’escursione dura tantissimo. È una vera sfacchinata e si perde ulteriormente tempo in luoghi che non sono interessati ma legati solo al proficuo economico (cooperativa di Argan e sosta nei negozi di tappeti/turbanti). Se si fossero evitate queste soste sarebbe stato meglio. Il pranzo non è incluso ma praticamente ti obbligano a mangiare al ristorante che ti dicono. Molto carina la visita agli studios, un’esperienza da provare. La nostra guida era molto brava e simpatica ! Abbiamo anche girato un brevissimo cortometraggio in uno dei set cinematografici!
