★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 9,447 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $21Our pick

Review of Marrakech to Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou day trip, with Atlas Mountain views, film studios, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Ait Benhaddou was amazing, the village is very well preserved, we saw the magic berber ink and the views were great. Lunch was overpriced and not very good but the studios after we're totally worth the 8€. We saw a lot of sets from famous movies and took a lot of great pictures. Ramania, our guide and driver was funny and helpful and gave us a lot of information during the long trip about the history of the places we passed.”

“Such a great day trip I’d recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech! Beautiful scenery for the whole journey, guide was helpful. Would recommend going to the local restaurants for lunch as much cheaper and nicer seating area. Also would have been nice to stop somewhere with more food options for breakfast, there was only drinks and biscuits / crisps. So would recommend bringing a packed breakfast from your riad if possible! I wasn’t expected much from the atlas studios but really loved them too! Overall a great day.”

“Our guide Moxissie (might be wrong spelling!) was excellent - really knowledgeable about the area, culture and traditions of the local people, and guided us to the waterfalls and back in a very expert manner. He was very friendly and had a great sense of humour, and took some great photos of us. Lunch was also delicious, simple but very good value and in a great location by the river. We also enjoyed the tour of the Berber house and learning about local Argan oil production and use of herbs. Whilst you will be presented with many opportunities to spend money on additional souvenirs etc throughout the day, there was…”

“Did he think this trip was a wonderful experience and well worth the money? Definitely. Was it 100% as advertised? Not exactly but not enough to detract from my experience. The good: The company picked me up exactly on time and was very professional. The amount of time I had in the city was perfect. I think anymore and I would have started to get bored as the area to explore is not that large for my 8 AM tour. I was worried it would be very crowded which I was surprised it was not. The driver picked us up exactly at the pick up time and I was dropped…”
