Atlas Mountains and Camel ride custom private trip - We went to Marrakesh last week and booked a private day trip to the Atlas Mountains with Hicham. It was more of a custom trip we wanted to ride camels as well. I highly recommend him, he is very professional and kind. We requested an SUV. He took us to a Berber home were we had delicious lunch at a Berber rooftop. Delicious mint tea after. On our way in to the mountains we stopped for a camel ride. We were so happy as we were able to see a baby camel (only 20 days old). The whole experience was magical. On our way back, he took us to a couple of places to do some shopping. He is very polite and a very good driver, gave us background information of all the places we were seeing. He made our family trip a total success.

Lovely trip - highly recommended - This was a great trip with a lovely helpful driver (Ibrahim) and a very good waterfalls guide (Mohammed 2). Got off to a shaker start as our booking with Viator hadn’t reached the tour operator so we were waiting 2 hours for our pick up. But Viator and the operator did everything possible to put it right so overall we had a good experience.
