Reviews & Rating

4.5 / 5 (6,905 Reviews)

“The tour guide, Sadouk, was very kind, attentive and helpful. When one had any concerns, he was keen to find the solution, e.g. he bought water for. passenger who forgot to bring it with them. The local guide from Ait Benhaddou was awesome, too. We were amazed of his deep knowledge and passionate guidance. We loved the landscape and the stories about the movies shot there and about the local people's life. Our only negative is the legroom on the coach, it was narrow.” Patrick, Hungary, June 2025  >> See More Reviews
