Delightful fresh escape from Fes - Had a great driver Otmane that picked us up on time and drove us up the mountains into Ifrane; where we stopped to walk around, then the Azrou Cedar Forest to see the wonderful trees & monkies. Then after seeing & having lunch in Azrou, we started back to Fes but stopped on the way to see a cave where a Berber family lived. Very educational, and our driver gave us plenty of time to see the sights!
My one tip would be to tell your driver if you would like to shop/take pics/see a specific sight in the area. Our driver seemed very willing to change his schedule to tailor to your interests. (Of course we were lucky to be a very small group)
Nice escape from the hectic scene of Fes.

Life changing time in Fes! - We had the best time ever, Younes was so nice all the time, making sure we always had plenty of time for pictures or taking the different views in. He recommended some great restaurants and cafes and was always very respectful towards my friend and me. He explained a lot about their culture and how and why things are the way they are. He changed our view of certain things and stuff you hear about. Over all 10/10 experience!! I recommend him to anyone wanting to look further into Fes, it’s culture, its places and history!

Awesome trip, special people - It has been an incredible experience. We choose the day trip to atlas mountain. These guys are incredible, the have been able to arrange our trip just the day before. We had the chance to visit amazing landscapes and they gave us the chance to interact with locals. The perfect end to our trip was the cedar forest where we enjoyed the nature together with monkeys. Truly recommended.

The Best Day Ever - This private day trip to the Middle Atlas Mountains was everything I wanted. Kamal was the driver and he went over and above to make this trip the best possible. He stopped for me to take pictures and explained everything about the area. We visited a older lady that lived in a cave and had tea. The cave has been lived in for over 600 years. Went to a local restraunt for fresh trout that was yummy. In the mountains saw my first pure white snow and monkey’s running around. Spectacular day. I highly recommend Kamal. Thank You
