Une excursion en famille incontournable. Notre guide, Salem, a pris le temps de nous faire découvrir une région et des monuments exceptionnels. Très à l'écoute et patient, Salem a su nous mettre en confiance sur les routes tortueuses des montagnes, s'est arrêté à tout moment pour nous montrer des paysages magnifiques et/ou gérer le mal de coeur de notre fille de 9 ans.

Mis amigos y yo contratamos un tour privado con Explore Morocco Travel para recorrer la ruta Marrakech-Ouarzarzate. La experiencia fue genial, pasamos un día inolvidable. Lahcen fue muy profesional, cercano y diligente en todo momento. Las visitas guiadas fueron muy interesantes y la conducción de Lahcen nos resultó muy segura y profesional. ¡Seguro que repetiremos la experiencia con esta empresa para conocer otros lugares de Marruecos!

They name this place as the Hollywood of Africa but I will try to re name this as Molywood, the town being in Morocco. We were there for the afternoon for lunch and the restaurant overlooked the wide road and serene town. Later we went into the Ouarzazate Cinemas Museum and so interestingly they still have the big picture of Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia besides Russel Crowe in Gladiator. We were lucky that day, they had some filming going on, and I think a very young 'Cleopatra' was there! Small museum but worth visiting.

A sido genial! Nuestro guía AHMAD nos vino a recoger al riad puntual en un cómodo 4x4, en Ouarzazat nos llevo a comer a un restaurante que probamos de todo (hasta sobró comida) donde pagamos por los 3 sólo 115 Dh! Paramos en una cooperativa de Argan donde venden una miel riquísima! Paró con el coche siempre que queriamos para tomar fotos, las vistas por el Atlas espectaculares! AHMAD de 10!!!

Appena tornati da Marrakech con ancora negli occhi gli splendidi paesaggi lasciamo una recensione molto positiva per il nostro driver Salem e la nostra guida Monaaim che ci hanno accompagnati il 14.02.19 a Ait-Ben-Haddou e Ouarzazate, con partenza dal nostro Riad a Marrakech. Sono stati molto gentili ed attenti e parlavano un ottimo italiano! Le 3 ore in macchina sono parecchie e la strada del passo sulle montagne molto tortuosa quindi lo sconsiglio a chi soffre il mal d'auto ma loro saranno carinissimi e faranno delle soste lungo il tragitto. Ait-Ben-Haddou è stata magica, mentre la sosta a Ourzazate l'ho trovata un po' troppo breve, avrei preferito che la guida rimanesse con noi invece di lasciarci girare da soli solo mezz'oretta. Nel complesso un'esperienza molto interessante. Il giorno successivo sempre con Explore Morocco abbiamo prenotato la visita completa alla città di Marrakech con la guida Said molto competente e gentile, tour splendido nel complesso ed anche lui esaustivo nelle spiegazioni con un ottimo italiano. Un punto di merito per la velocità con la quale l'agenzia ha sempre risposto alle mail, se posso invece dare un consiglio direi di essere più chiari sul costo dell'ingresso dei monumenti che si visiteranno a Marrakech in quanto non sono compresi nella quota che si paga e vanno pagati in dirham. Nel complesso la consiglio davvero!

I have been 3 times and want to return. It's a very photogenic place with much history and beauty. Many tourists just pass buy with little time to breathe the place in. I didn't find a place to stay over night on airbnb or booking but being there I noticed and visited a hotel so now I know its possible to stay overnight. Also, just by the bridge, there is a cafe that is a project to help local families...and then there are the several shops with barber goods. I enjoyed spending time chatting to the local sellers.

Hassan's service helped me tremendously for exploring destinations like Essaouira and Ouarzazate at my own pace, allowing me to truly absorb a sense of each place. Hassan ensures that travellers enjoy their journeys and have a better understanding of Morocco; recommended for visitors seeking a reliable Moroccan to navigate the country with them.

You travel from snow covered mountains to dry and sunny plains of the movie studios. You visit the picture perfect UNESCO heritage site which is stunning. Hassan who was our driver & guide made the day most enjoyable with his witty comments and knowledge of the area. A day trip not to be missed even though you have a 7am start!

Une belle journée en compagnie de notre guide Hassan , dont la bonne humeur n'a d'égale que sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Quand l'on est un peu juste en temps,cette journée permet à partir de marrackech de découvrir d'autres paysages magnifiques et apaisant. Encore merci à Hassan ,qui nous à donné envie de repartir pour un périple plus long en sa compagnie. Bravo et en changez rien. Hervé et Alexandra
