“the excursion is not well managed in terms of time. We promise you things in the description that we don't see. In short, we make you spend a lot of time traveling for very little visit. We had to stay 30 minutes in Ourzazate and all that to take us to drink tea and sell us carpets. It’s a shame because Ouarzazate has much better to offer than that (no free time to visit the studios or the cinema museum). As for the Ait Ben Handou kasbah, you are charged for entry to which you will have to add a supplement for the guide (very nice) but with very poor…”
