Fabulous trip to the mountains - Ismail was a fabulous guide for what was an amazing trip. My daughter and I visited from England and chose the small group 5 valley tour. Ismail is knowledgeable, great fun and takes some brilliant photos for you! The hike and lunch were just fantastic and the scenery breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour.

A unique experience - We were a party of 4 adults and 4 children and had a wonderful time with Mohamed (Number 1!). The trip is different to others offered - you are in a small group with a native Berber driver/guide who speaks many languages fluently.
We learned so much about the Atlas mountains, people and way of life, including seeing and hearing about the devastating effects of the 2023 earthquake. The trip is extremely varied, the landscapes beautiful, the people are warm and friendly and the meals offered are the tastiest we have had while here.
We highly recommend the trip to anyone, both for the experience itself and the opportunity to support the local community.
As others have said, bring sweets for the local children, and tips for the guides and families. You will also have the opportunity to buy locally made argan oil products.

Excellent experience - I highly recommend this tour, its a smaller group which makes it more enjoyable & we were lucky to meet other people this way. Ismail the guide was thorough and helpful, he took care of all the minor details. A very engaging & genuine guide who was knowledgable on so much history and general knowledge. The tour itself is breathtaking & the views are unreal.
A special shoutout to Ismail who made our day, he is so accommodating and takes time to include each member of the group & works hard to keep everybody entertained with his sense of humour, cannot fault him or the tour in anyways it was perfect!!
Cannot recommend the tour enough, from dinner to the hike it was all planned meticulously!! Worth every penny!!

A breathtaking trip of a lifetime - What a special day, it will forever last in our memory. The 5 valleys were spectacular and with our perfect guide Mohammed, it was worth the price alone.
However, the most incredible experience was sharing the most delicious meal with a delightful Berber family and our very small tour group up in the mountains. This was after a breathtaking hour long hike up through the mountains and Berber villages, led by 2 brilliant local guides.
We stopped on the way for an incredible breakfast consisting of delicious breads with homemade argan tree recipes and dips, made by the Berber women who resided there. We met the local children and even shared a game of football together!
The experience was eye opening, beautiful and humbling, the Berber hospitality was touching and we felt so welcome.
Lastly, Mohammed (no.1) our tour guide and driver was the most lovely person you'd ever meet. Knowledgable, engaging and personable, we felt like we were on an adventure with a friend.
This is a must.
