Two very interesting places - Two very different Kasbahs! A visit in the past history of the country. Long driving for one day and if there were not these parts of the road under construction, it would be easier.. But skillful and friendly driver.

The places we visited... - The places we visited were simply amazing, unfortunately I cannot say the same about organisation and the guide which explained little about the place and mostly limited to take us through the villages and cities without sharing much info with us. Good but can surely be improved.

Late, slow and missing out - The pick up took us to a holding area for over an hour. Then we overstayed at shops they stopped at on the way. Then the tour took us to a tourist trap lunch location that wanted to gouge us for a poor standard venue (in sun) and lunch. Because we were running so ridiculously late at the fault of the company, we were not able to view the movie museum. We arrived back in Marrakech at almost 10pm. Not what was advertised. Go with a different company that doesn't cause the delays which ruin the experience.

Do not use a tour guide - The city itself is beautiful and impressive. However, you need time to explore it to appreciate it. The drive from and to Casablanca was long and tiring. Especially hard when you share the van with people who smoke or have strong b.o. Not shaming these smokers and people with b.o. but it is something to consider before booking this tour. The worst experience was when we were forced to walk across the creek by jumping on stones and tires. There is a perfectly good bridge to the city but they use the creek so that local kids help you across in exchange for money. Everyone wants to make money off tourist, I get it. But the rocks were unsteady and not ideal for the older trackers. I would recommend that you stay near the city and stay away from the tours.
