Amazing day out in the Atlas Mountains - Omar, Hassan and the family were great hosts. Very knowledgeable and friendly and the food they served at their house was amazing. Camel ride, tea stops, a visit to an Argan oil cooperative as well as a hike through the Atlas mountains - past waterfalls and beautiful scenery to their house with a banquet laid out. Thoroughly brilliant day out and well worth booking with Omar and family. Thanks for everything yesterday!

A great day! - We booked this trip at the last minute. Omar was punctual picking us up. The van was comfortable. This trip was a great learning experience. We visited a place that made argan oil from scratch. On our hike to the waterfall, we stopped for lunch at Omar’s family home. It was so wonderful to have a home hosted meal and to be able to visit a local family. On our way back, we had a great time riding the camels. Omar took such great pictures for the group. We highly recommend this day trip.

Heartwarming, magnificent and so much fun! - The Atlas Mountains are truly stunning. And our guide Aimran is truly amazing. He shows genuine empathy and is a fountain of knowledge. Lunch at his Family home was a superb feast and very humbling. He goes above and beyond his role to ensure your safety and happiness. He is a compassionate soul matched only by the love and respect shown to him by our adorable group (who were all amazing too!) and all those we met on our journey. Sign up, you will benefit in leaps and bounds, literally!

Best experience I had whilst in Marrakech! - absolutely amazing experience! Aimran is the nicest, most caring person, he always made sure we were all okay and happy! he welcomed us into his home, for the best tagine I have had whilst l've been in Morroco, where we got to meet his wonderful family and have a beautiful meal all together. we saw amazing views, of valleys and waterfalls and stopped to take so many priceless pictures along the way! Aimran also has the best stories about everywhere we got to visit on this trip, as he grew up in the Atlas Mountains he knows all about it and loves to share his experiences and is always up for answering every question we had. met some amazing people along with this trip as well, which made the whole experience that much more wholesome. would definitely recommend this to anyone that visits here, it's an absolute must do! if you have any doubts, just book it, it will be your favourite activity whilst you're here :)

Wonderful views, hilarious camel ride, interesting stop at an argon oil cooperative, gorgeous food & friendly knowledgeable guid - My friend and I booked this trip to the Atlas Mountains for a day trip from Marrakech. It completely exceeded expectations. Our guide Umar was very well informed, friendly and attentive. He spoke excellent English and shared lots of information about the area and Berber culture and history. The camel ride was fun and we really enjoyed hearing about the argon oil production process at the women's cooperative. The hike down to the waterfall was a little tough on our old knees, but totally worth it and just beautiful. The lunch that was prepared for us at Umar's house by his mum and auntie was absolutely delicious. Probably the best meal of our whole stay. All in all we would absolutely recommend this trip with Umar.

Amazing Atlas mountain experience with our tour guide Umar - A memorable trip in Marrakech! So happy that I chose this trip based on the star rating and competitive price. Umar is a fantastic guide, from camel rides in Berber robes to getting an authentic experience visiting Berber villages where argan oil was produced with the best lunch ever in his home up in the mountains cooked by his family was the ultimate memory to cherish. Trekking up Atlas mountains was the most incredible adventure. Grateful to Umar for safely and efficiently navigating us, (mostly me with no rock climbing experience before). He spoke very well and answered all our questions. I would be most happy to recommend him as a guide and the trip he organised. Five ⭐️

Essential Morocco experience - This experience had everything you’d want from an immersive experience in Morocco. Our guide was extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable in all aspects of the trip. We learned way more about traditional Moroccan culture on this trip than any museum and had an incredible time doing it
