Sadoq looked after us really well and the driver was very good too. Gave us plenty of history and back ground on each stop and was interacting well.

Unforgettable Day Trip to Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou & Atlas Studios This excursion was absolutely fantastic and a true highlight of our trip to Morocco! The journey through the High Atlas Mountains was breathtaking, with stunning views at every turn. The stop at the famous Ait Benhaddou was like stepping back in time—this UNESCO World Heritage site is both historically rich and visually stunning. It’s easy to see why so many movies were filmed there! The visit to Atlas Studios was a treat, especially for film lovers. Walking through actual film sets from famous movies made the experience even more memorable. A special mention goes to our guide, who truly made the day exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the trip. His storytelling brought the history and culture of the region to life, and he was always happy to answer questions and make sure everyone was comfortable. I highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Morocco—it’s well-organized !

We had a beautiful day with Khalid and Ridwan with a group of italians. They were both super friendly! I was impressed by Khalid's mastery of Italian, Spanish, French and English - all languages that I am fluent in or at least understand. He was always helpful, answered my question and repeated most information in Spanish for me and another couple that understood it better than Italian. The other guides chosen within the locations we travelled to, Muhammad and Karim were also very friendly and we'll spoken. The scenic route is beautiful, sprinkled with little villages and mosques. For me, the highlight is still Ait Benhaddou. it's a quick tour, but I think we did the most of one day! highly recommend!
