Beautiful views... - A great option for a day trip from Marrakesh. Beautiful views, easy route, even for a 7-year-old child. The program also includes a tasty Moroccan dinner and a ride on a Camel. Our guide Oulid, who came from this area, was great at telling and taking care of our comfort during the trip.

Exquisite trip! Greatly recommended - The trip was absolutely amazing. Even though the trip took longer than expected (because of the group), the guide showed a lot of patience and love. Every stop we thought it’s impossible for the trip to get better, but yet it did. The lunch was super tasty and the place - amazing! The trip has a perfect balance of time in a car and time in outside. Be prepared for a hike - the road to the waterfall might be challenging for some. Overall I think it’s the best way in which you can get a taste of Morroco in one day:) Super recommended!!!

A day away from the Medina. - Walid was a great guide, friendly and attentive, I loved the camels. Even though I payed twice as much since I booked via my riad host, I think it was worth every penny. I only wish I had more time to get to know my camel, I don’t even know his name.

Amazing trip, good food, good scenery and experiences - We had an amazing day. Walid was our guide and was a fantastic guide as well as Ibrahim the driver. My teenage daughter and I went and it was the best experience for both of us!

Day trip to the Imlil valley. - We had a great day out and our guide was very knowledgeable. We stopped often enough to take some pictures and experience a women’s cooperative making and selling argan oil products and natural cosmetics. Before our lunch stop we walked through a Berber village and stopped for tea at our guides family home. My only word of caution is that there is no proper trail or steps through the upper part of the village so if you are unsteady on your feet it is probably best avoided. Just ask to walk along the lower flatter path that follows the water channel. We will return one day to this area.

Great day trip to the mountains - We were group of six, age ranges from six to sixty. We initially booked for group tour, but Karim were kindly upgraded us to a private tour which was great. Our driver Khalid was very efficient, and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The hike to the waterfall was very different and our children loved it. Also the camel ride was fun, and no body hassle for tips etc. Lunch was simple but enough. The total trip’s time was over 10 hours, longer than what it was stated on the website.

The sweetest people and amazing views - Great tour to know the atlas mountains, the waterfalls and the berber villages. As well as the Agafay desert. Amazing views and super nice people. The driver and the guide were super nice and helpful. The wheather is much cooler in the mountains so if you are trying to escape the heat of Marrakech, this is a great way to do it! Karim and is wife let us in to their home and treated us with tea and biscuits. Super nice and humble people. However the tour is a bit desorganized but its still worth it!
