We will always cherish this truly unique experience.
We will always cherish this truly unique experience. Merry is really warm and approachable, and she shared a lot of information with us about the nation, the people, and the area where he hails from. On this vacation, we had seen a lot of breathtaking locations. The Atlas Mountains, the desert, and the views are stunning. The food was excellent!

Great day trip!
We enjoyed the trip a lot, our guide Potatoes was very knowledgeable and friendly which made the whole experience not just educational but very entertaining. The hike to the waterfalls and through the Berber village was beautiful, comfy shoes with good grip are advised. Same goes for the camel ride, just good stretchy pants are important. The traditional clothing and scarf for the camel ride are provided, unfortunately we didn’t know and bought our own a day prior. The food in the Berber village was very delicious, and the view in the restaurant is breathtaking. 10/10 can recommend this day trip.

We had a great day! Ibrahim our tour guide was fabulous. We hiked the Atlas Mountain, saw the Agafay desert, rode the camels (the kid’s favorite) and had a great lunch with a Berber restaurant. Ibrahim made sure we had a great time and provided great information throughout the tour.

A MUST DO tour in Marrakech!
Ibrahim was a very good tour guide, he picked us up near hotel, took us first to the camel ride which was amazing and then we went for a short hike to see the waterfalls and finished off the day with having some tasty Moroccan lunch! On the way, the driver also stopped at good points with nice views to take pictures – overall a very good experience and good value for money, highly recommend if you are in Marrakech!

Best tour guide Lahsen for assisting my wife (terrified of heights!) climb up to the waterfall. A memorable moment!
This was a wonderful day out. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We were picked up on time from our hotel in a comfortable minibus. First stop was to ride a camel. Interesting! Then we drove up the Atlas Mountains to a plateau where we had opportunities to take photos of the stunning scenery. We stopped for breakfast visiting an Argan Oil co-operative where we saw the products being produced from a nut by hand in the traditional method. We then drove higher into the mountains and walked to a waterfall. My wife is terrified of heights and did find this difficult, Lahsen assisted her the entire way up to the top. She was elated that she had managed to do this! It was a memorable moment. We then enjoyed lunch on a sunny rooftop. So glad that we booked this trip. The driver was extremely competent navigating the mountain roads. Thank you Lahsen for making it possible for my wife to ascend the mountain. Fantastic tour guide.
