Amazing day trip
We had an amazing time. Our guide Moustapha was very helpful and friendly. The camel ride was great fun and the mountains were breathtaking. We enjoyed a delicious lunch on a rooftop overlooking the snowcapped mountains. It was a perfect day and I would thoroughly recommend this excursion.

Superb experience!
Excellent value for money. Idris was a brilliant tour guide. Faultless tour. Guide, scenery, food and transport were all spot on. The local people in villages in the Atlas Mountains were open with speaking with us and telling us all about living there.

Superb and beautiful trip, Excellent guide and driver. Great value – just do it !!
Excellent trip and a great peaceful day away from busy Marrakech. Our guide Ibrahim was absolutely brilliant. Great communications before pick-up, friendly, knowlegable, hard working and kept a good eye out for all his guests (even some of whom liked to wander away on the rocks for that special photo!) Mohammed was the driver and was excellent driving safely and with confidence – navigating some tricky roads further up the mountains.(I’m never a great passenger but was totally at ease on this trip)….A great and very pleasant team responding very well and proffessionally to their great variety of guests and a real credit to their employers.
The day was full, friendly, very interesting and the scenery, including the snow capped Atlas Mountains, was superb, as was the mountain air. So near to Marrakech and yet so peaceful and different. The lunch was fresh, hot and tasty and eaten out on a village terrace with a superb view.
The uphill hike took some of the weightier and older members of the group a bit by suprise but proved well worth the effort. The camel ride was also fun at the end although I am still waiting for my legs to go back together!
The value of this trip is amazing. Totally satisfied, brilliant day and happy to be able to tip the extra value voluntarily based on the great experience..very well deserved. All very refreshing and honest.
I highly reccommend this trip for anyone spending a few days in Marrakech – You’ll be glad you did !!
Thank you Ibrahim and Mohammed !

Day trip
Nice experience to discover the real Morocco. Our guide Lahcen took care of us throughout the day following us in all our questions and needs. The trip takes you all day but between Argan, waterfalls, lunch at the Berber village, camel rides, time flew by quickly.

Heartwarming dive into Berber culture
The guide, Mohamed was very enthusiastic, he was from the actual berber village, he was showing, told us many stories about their culture, how different it is from the Arabs’s. The camels looked taken care of, we were worried not to support animal abuse, but that definitely wasn’t the case! At the end of the tour, we went to visit a house for widows, which was probably the most touching, and heartwarming episode of our trip in Morocco!

Would definitely recommend this trip!
This was an amazing and unforgettable experience for my husband, our two daughters 17 yrs old and me. MERY she was a wonderful guide, we also had a delicious traditional lunch with an unique view. we were lucky to see the local market where all the surrounding villages come to buy their weekly supplies. So unique and such a cultural lesson for us all. We loved the camel ride, the waterfalls and the hiking, so worth it!

A very nice experience!!
Our guide was Driss and he was very nice and kind. He was always willing to explain the history of the places we visited. And very important he was very patient with the people moved slower than the rest of the group. 100% recomended.
