Recommended from Marrakech. - This excursion is a fun way to see more of Morocco. Our driver Marwan was top, super friendly and enthusiastic. We started in the Agafay desert. in the valley we made a nice walk to the waterfall, after which we had lunch on a terrace with a beautiful view of the valley and then drove back through some highlights and the Atlas mountains.

Beautiful Jeep Safari - Our driver Mohammed was a friendly man. He clearly answered all the questions we had. We took pictures of the beautiful view at several points. Along the way we made a stop to ride a camel. A scarf was folded around our heads. After this we got tea with some small snacks. We made a relatively long round and enjoyed this enormously. We had a nice view. The guys who helped were friendly. The food was very tasty and a lot. We started with a salad and bread, then we got chicken, potatoes and vegetables. Then we got fruit for dessert. The place we ate was beautiful. After this we went for a walk. This walk was tricky. Lots of loose stones and uneven stairs. The guide walked through fairly quickly. Visited a beautiful waterfall along the way. Definitely recommended!

Visiting local people - We went with two 4x4 cars to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert. The guides told us a lot about the area. But also about the people. What was even more interesting.
Due to the tour, we were guests in family houses, local people. Who where open, friendly to tell their story. It was hard to see the damage of the earthquake.
When you want to see the countryside, the locals and not the tourist spots, I can recommend this tour.

It was nice experience!... - It was nice experience! Beautiful mountains and nice peoples! We went in cultural villages, and waterfall(not big grand one) but beautiful. 4 starts because we has 2 points only, and tour guy or driver all road was almost silent. But thank you for a nice experience!

We More Than Got Our Money's Worth! - From a cafe overlooking a near desert to earthquake-damaged berber villages in narrow mountain valleys topped off by a really good Moroccan lunch at a guesthouse with a great view of Mt. Toubkal. Our young driver, Mohamed Anjif, was both personable and diligent and worked hard to ensure that our expectations were met - even apples from his mother in his home village of Imlil. Only 2 negatives - 1. The vehicle's 3rd row seats were tight and were needed by our party of 5 and 2. Mohamed's English was limited but, given the effort he puts in, I'm sure it will improve quickly; fortunately, our son had some French.

Worth the money and time - The tour started on time, in a nice jeep, with a pleasant driver. Hussein spoke English and made our day. We could drink water (bring yourself) even it ik as ramadan. We visitede villages, learned about life out there, had a nice walk to a waterfall (wear goed walkingshoes), a lovely lunch served by a local on his roofterras. On the way back we were tired but happy! Only advice: tell in the car what the program, timing, stops are:-)!

Lamb tajine...... a chimera - Timely pickup at our Riad. Abdul spoke good English took us first to visit the Agafay area and then to the mountains with a stop for tea, it is not for 10dh, but could be offered by the tour. The problem arises with lunch: It was not a typical and local Berber house, it was still under construction and nuova.Arriva the Tajine that in the tour purchased had to be lamb and in addition to that I had expressly requested there was no chicken or peanuts, because they are two foods to which I am allergic.
I ask is it lamb!?️Abdul says ... I think so. The verification results chicken😡
The Berber in charge of the kitchen arrives and says that he knew nothing and that the culprit is Abdul who did not warn. Abdul says Berber is the culprit
Result they say that lamb had been given to other tourists and that there was only chicken.😡 various proposals: eggs or couscous, come horrible Kafta of lamb and innards that I did not eat. Only Bread Oil😡 Organization zero minus!!️
Then halfway back Abdul asks if we want to stop at a restaurant to eat a tajine of lamb🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️♀️♀️♦♀️ unthinkable.
You have to pay ATTENTION to allergies especially if the tour includes a meal!!️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
