Wonderful day out in the epic Atlas Mountains - Just returned from an epic day trip with Ibrahim(s) - both driver and guide - and highly recommend this private day tour. They were both lovely people and looked after us brilliantly. They also catered to our levels of fitness and interest very well. All for a very reasonable price! X

FAB day at the Atlas Mountains 🏔 - Just returned from our trek up the Atlas Mountains and Berber villages. We started at Imlil where we met our guide, Ibrahim, who was very friendly, informative and funny! Our halfway stop, provided a welcome rest and a superb authentic Moroccan tagine, with a view of the stunning scenery. Our driver, Abdul Z was just as helpful and entertaining. The journey took us through the city and into the countryside for a view of village life. We felt safe in his hands, and loved the Tom Cruise stunt bridge too! Thanks for a great day. 🌟

Atlas Mountain Trip - It was our first time in Morocco and although we only had a long weekend to spare both myself and my partner wanted to see more than just the sights of Marrakesh. We were fortunate enough to meet Ibrahim who had picked us up from the airport on our arrival and we asked the hotel if they could organise a day trip for us to visit a couple of the Berber villages up in the Atlas Mountains. We really wanted Ibrahim to be our guide for the day as he had left a great impression on us in the 30 min trip from the airport to the hotel. We were not disappointed and the full day trip was an incredible experience. Our guide “Ibrahim” taught us so much about the Moroccan culture and he took us up to his Berber village called Imlil that he’d grown up in which is based at the foot of the mountain Toubkal. We had lunch in Imlil in a great restaurant with breath taking views over looking the mountains. Ibrahim had been a Sherpa working on the mountain in an earlier life so he introduced us to a few of his friends and he had an incredible depth of knowledge about the whole area. We had an amazing day that was filled with interesting and enjoyable things to see and do and it was totally made by our incredible tour guide “Ibrahim Ait Tamazert”. Hopefully one day we will return to the region and get Ibrahim to show us more of what the Atlas Mountains and its surrounding areas has to offer. Total respect to Ibrahim as he looked after us amazingly well and we couldn’t have hoped for a better tour guide for the day.

Tour Guide Ibrahim - Ibrahim was an amazing guide and enhanced every bit of our experience in Morocco. After meeting him the first day we ensured he was the guide for the rest of our stay. Whether it was our trip to Essaouira or to the Atlas Mountains Ibrahim had endless knowledge and aimed to help in every way possible. We couldn’t have been more happy to meet him and travel through Morocco with him!

Fantastic New Year's Day 2024 Atlas Walking Adventure - Brilliant short walking tour with Ibrahim and Jamal. So friendly and informative who made a very special and happy start to 2024 for us. From Jamals pick up at our Marrakech Hotel to return it was a pleasure to be hosted by such lovely friendly Berbers. Ibrahim our mountain guide was caring and knowledgeable, always checking in to make sure we were happy. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch stop- the best tagine in our trip. It was a pleasure to share time with Ibrahim and Jamal who are proud Berbers and both very interesting informative skilled guides. Thank you for this special experience.

Hiking the Atlas - A very pleasant trip with Mohammed ‘Potatoes’. He’s a great guide. Very friendly. He obviously cares about the area he was guiding us around, and all the locals seemed to know him- and like him! We had a good driver, too.
