Great value day trip from Marrakech. If you enjoy movies, you will enjoy this tour! Our guide and driver was very helpful and we were well looked after.

Trip was awesome, both our driver Said and our guide Abdo were very nice and polite, they shared a lot of insights about the culture, history, landscape. The highlight of the trip was definitely Aid Ben Haddou and the amazing landscapes, I personally found the visit to the atlas studios and Ourzazate not that interesting.. it felt very touristy.
