Stunning scenery and a trip into history - We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this experience. Our guide Omar was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip highly enjoyable. He chatted with us during the drive, letting us know about the various points of interest as well as a history of the region. The highlight was of course Ait Ben Haddou. It is a magical place full of history. A must see if you come to Marrakech. The Atlas Mountains are beautiful, it made the drive extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend this trip!

Highly recommended - We had a fantastic time with our driver, Omar, who drove us gently through the winding mountain passes of Tiz n’Tishka on the way to Aït Ben Haddou and walked us through the old ksar before taking us to Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate. Omar was attentive and kind, and generously shared information about Berber life and culture (and played some great Berber tunes along the way!). We never felt pressured to buy anything, but instead enjoyed a very full day of exploring. Be prepared for a long day of driving, and if you are prone to car sickness, take meds.

Fun, informative, and comfortable day-trip - We greatly enjoyed our tour with Daoud! He was so much fun and very knowledgeable of the area and its history. The tour was very comfortable with a new and spacious vehicle, and he made extra stops along the way because I wasn’t feeling well that day. Highly recommend this tour if you are in Marrakech!

There's Moroccan sickness! - We were greeted directly at Marrakech airport to leave on this journey that took us to the dunes of the Sahara of Merzouga. A long journey, but divided into stages that allowed us to discover many places, our guide Daoud was simply fantastic with the whole family and especially with children (6 and 8 years). Friendly, precise, attentive and always smiling, he gave us the chance to taste the real life of those places and it was very exciting. The nights in the structures they recommended and booked were of the highest level, the one in a tent in the Sahara unforgettable. Upon returning to Marrakech we decided to continue using their services, booking a city tour with Mohamed extremely prepared and kind made us feel safe and at home in a city that scares at first glance. We will definitely return to Morocco and we will definitely book again the experiences that these guys have to offer. Rating 1000/100

Morocco experience - With a small group of friends we toured Morocco starting from Marrakesh, where Mohamed picked us up and accompanied us throughout the tour to Rabat, from where we returned to Rome. Mohamed is the ideal guide, precise, always attentive to each of us, helpful, polite and clearly speaks perfect Italian. We visited really beautiful places and we are all happy with the services received.

Best tailored day trip - This tour was awesome. So easy to book and coordinate. The car was comfortable and brand new, and its so much better to travel on a small group if you have the chance. Younes, our expert driver and tour guide/ translator was the best. He was truly friendly, patient and accommodating, making multiple stops for pics, and snacks, giving us the opportunity to experience this beautiful area and its culture . Thank you Younes, and Silence of Morocco! You guys are fantastic, we will come back and continue exploring and learning about Morroco.

Wonderful day trip to Ouarzazate - Our tour guide, Mohammed was exceptional and shared super helpful information about the different sites we were visiting. Our driver, also Mohammed, was equally wonderful, kind & attentive. My daughter and I were 100% happy with the day, which was fun and full of gorgeous scenery. We learned a lot about Moroccan life outside the city and enjoyed the Atlas Studios tour too. Thank you Mohammed and Mohammed!

Travelling with Mohamed - Our trip to Morocco from Marrakesh to the desert accompanied by Mohamed was a daydream. Mohamed is not only an exceptional Guide for his culture and preparation but he is above all a sunny, helpful and patient friend who never tires of explaining and answering every question, indeed every question is an opportunity to deepen other aspects of this wonderful world of which I now feel part. Thanks Mohamed and thanks to your brother David, I carry you in my heart 💚💚💚
