Mustapha, who picked us up from our Riad, and our driver/guide, was amazing! He navigated the zigzag roads easily and expertly altho I must say, you need a strong stomach for those hairpin curves!. Once we got to the UNESCO world heritage site, the local guide, Mohammed, was knowledgeable and patiently explained the history of the Ksar Ait Ben Haddou. The breakfast and lunch were substantial breakfast came with the package, lunch we had to oay once there at the restaurant. Restrooms were generally clean. After Ben Haddou, we traveled about half an hour to get to Ouazarzate. Since we were not so keen to either go to the film museum or the Atlas film studio, we opted to just see the kasbah 20Dirhams entrance fee. I think we could have skipped the kasbah because Ben Haddou was spectacular enough for us. If you are going to Ouazarzate, I suggest better to tour the film studio. On the way, we also stopped at a lookout point to take photos of the snow-capped Atlas mountains. Beautiful. Overall, we were very satisfied with this tour.
