Amazing trip! - We did a multiple days trek in the Atlas Mountains with Pathfinders Morocco. Our guide was really kind and great. He learned us a lot about the culture and the way the people lived in the mountains. Very impressive to see and to experience. The hikes were beautiful and also well guided. Especially the last 2 days in which we climbed Mount Toubkal were so worth it. The view was absolutely stunning. I would recommend this trip to any of my friends. It was great!!!

Fully Recommend - Rachid organised the tour for us seemlessly with great communication throughout.
Yousef then guided us along a fascinating route through the red mountains, telling us the history and culture along the way, introducing us to local villagers, where we sometimes drank mint tea.
Hussain cooked delicious meals for us which we guzzled down after our hikes in picturesque locations, enjoying the views. Hussain's mule carried our rucksack with ease and ate and drank well with us along the way (we noticed that generally one mule carries the luggage, bedding and food for two hikers up steep inclines in heat, so recommend you try to pack light if you can : ) )

Amazing! - We had an amazing 2 days 1 night trek in the Atlas mountains. The trek was beautiful, our guide Yusef was very knowledgeable and helpful, the meals prepared by the cook were delicious and plentiful catering to our vegetarian request and the accommodation in a Berber village was comfortable. We booked our trip from home via email and the communication was excellent, the deposit payment was straightforward and they let us reschedule our trek free of charge when we had to postpone our trip due to unforeseen circumstances. Thank You! We highly recommend

The Healing Nature of the Atlas Mountains & People - This was my first international trip outside of the U.S. and I am inspired to come back and visit. The beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the people, culture, and hospitality was unbelievable! The knowledge of our tour guide, Rachid, was impactful and beneficial. I am sincerely grateful for this journey and experience; it has forever changed my outlook on my personal life and traveling.

Definitely will come again! - Rachid is amazing. We spent 8 days together on a private tour and it was beyond amazing. This is my 3rd time using his company and he always over delivers. We felt safe, we felt appreciated, we felt cared for.

Good guide with good English made the trip! - Loved it! Youssef (a local) was my guide. 22 years old, full of character and energy. He absolutely made my trip. He knows alot about the moutain, speaks good English and gave clear instructions at the beginning of every day so I knew what to expect. We hiked 6 days through remote berber villages where I was the only foreigner. Youssef explained the things we saw and the culture. Everyday we walked ± 4 to 5 hours. If you're fit and looking for a physical challenge in the moutains (like me) the dev ask for Youssef!! He even invented me to his family's house for dinner.

Fabulous 4 Day trip in High Atlas Mountains - We booked our trip independently from the UK, the booking, information, communication and payment were efficient and straightforward with Rachid. We were picked up from our Riad and everything was well organised. We loved our knowledgeable guide Mohamed and Muleteer Hussain, the walks were well planned, with beautiful views, food was prepared on route and in gites/homestays - the vegetarian food was plentiful and delicious. We would highly recommend this trip to see the mountains, and the Berber way of life in such a beautiful country. Thank you Rachid, Mohamed and Hussain.

Great day trip with 3 hour trek and magnificent lunch - Last week we did a day trip from Marrakech with a 3 hour trek and lunch in Imlil valley. Rachid and the crew did an excellent job with the trip and we would highly recommend the trip.
The pickup from our Riad in the Medina was on time, the driver professional and very helpful.
Our guide for the trail was Hamid and he was the best. He worked with all of us and helped us along the way. He even got us some snack of nuts and fruits which we enjoyed at the halfway point. We did about an 8-9 miles hike which was beautiful and suited perfectly to our family. The lunch was at Hamid’s village and it was the best Tajine we had during our Morocco trip.
