Very nice trip. Our driver Abdul made it very special. He showed us all the nice places, told a lot about the culture and history. We felt very welcome, also thanks to the guide at Ait Benhaddou. We would really recommend this trip with those guides.

Was a little disappointing….. we ended up being in a bus for 8.5 hours. The whole excision should have been just 9. There’s was obviously an error in the bookings and it felt like we just got turfed in with everyone else. No commentary in the coach. The UNESCO site and the local guide however were fabulous
