A recent review from January 2025 captures the essence of this journey:

Amazing trip with wonderful views and personal touch - We decided to book a private tour to have a more personal trip and also to make it faster as it was quite a drive. Our driver Fatah was fantastic and even had made a cool desert blues playlist to create a nice atmosphere. Road to Ait Benhaddou is in great condition and the views are amazing. The route back via Tenuet is also very beautiful and interesting through rugged terrain Berber areas. Kasbah Tenuet is in ruins unfortunately, but the route is interesting and not longer so worth a drive. (Reviewed at: 2025-01-16)
