Worth a visit. - Worth going to. Ait Benhaddou was a little challenging with many uneven steps. We went on the 12 hr day trip from Marrakesh.

Very Bad Experience! - We booked a day trip to AitBenhaddou and Ouarzazate with this operator. They sent a confirmation and pickup msg on the previous day which we followed. We were picked up in a van at 06:00 am after confirming our trip and after 15min of the journey, the driver stopped the van and asked us to switch vehicles. He said that this van is going to the Sahara desert . The operator then came to that location and said that they can’t do the trip that we had booked due to bad weather and suggested that we go to Essaouira instead. But the truth was that they couldn’t take just us for a day trip to Ait Benhaddu as unfortunately we were the only ones who booked for that day. It was extremely disappointing and frustrating in the morning as tourists who were excited for the day. The operator may fool others as well. It was indeed a fraud act. If they weren’t able to take us, they should have informed us that previous day. It was indeed a very bad experience we had!

Not recommended - We have booked our trip in advance, the operator changed our trip without even asking us in prior. We where ready on the same day at 6:00 in the morning and the operator put us in a different trip which was not worth the money we have paid for. Wont suggest this operator.

To flee - Not part of the excursion because a tourist trap. The day before, you are told that you have to pay 300 dirham to pick us up from the hotel while at the time of booking we are told that the pick-up is included at our hotel. Then the chosen pick-up time was at 7.30am on reservation and we are announced the day before 7am. Nothing corresponded to the reservation and moreover the guide who contacted us spoke English while he was mentioned French. To flee

Boring day trip - Not recommend, just a very long trip, 4 hours one way, to see nothing just a few pictures.. We did not visit the studiosbut just saw from the outside, totally loss of time. We are didn't visit Ouarzazat yet just pass through, and the last berber village is almost totally destroyed by the earthquakes.. We have seen a village with a guide almost running... Grazie mille
