Great tour with driver - The tour was great. The driver Abdoo was on time and he was a very chilled driver. Najib was also easy to communicate with and gave us a competitive price. The tour itself was well planned, we visited many stops along the way and had the opportunity to explore ourself or use a local tour guide (a little pricey so might be best to just explore on your own).

Excellent day trip to Ouarzazate - Really good drive to the place. Took us to a few stops on the way to see magnificent views from the mountain area. Excellent driver, on time and no road rage. Would highly recommend for anyone going on a long distant trip.
