Very nice

This is surely the best Ait Ben Haddou tour available as it also goes off the beaten path to a lesser known but STUNNING kasbah, Telouet which completely blew my mind! Much preferred this option over the usual additional stop at the highly touristic Ouarzazate that all other tours seem to do. Ahmed is SO amazing, not only is he highly informative but kind, helpful, smart, funny, interesting and so hard working! Such a great man he is!! We absolutely love him to bits. And he is a super great driver. We were taken care of on all fronts and really enjoyed our time with him. He absolutely went above and beyond. THANK YOU Ahmed!

Unveiling Morocco

We really enjoyed our day trip to visit Ait Ben Haddou and Telouet Kasbah. It was a long day with a lot of driving, but the driving was broken up with stops to look at different views and villages. The long drive was worth it to view some really impressive sites. Aid Ben Haddou in particular is a really interesting place, and Telouet surprised us with ornate decoration inside. Our tour guide Mohammed was lovely and took great care of us. Thanks so much!

Best driver and fun trip

We had an amazing time with our guide Ahmed! Pick up was very easy, right near our Riad and the car was new and very comfortable. We stopped at many great vistas along the way and Abdul was an excellent photographer. He was very informative and entertaining during the drive. It was an amazing experience overall!
