Excellent cultural tour! - We had a great day trip to the Atlas Mountains. The kids loved the camel ride (ages 5 and 3). Our guide, Mohammed, spoke perfect English and was very accommodating. He arranged for us to sit and have a coffee during the hike as the kids were too tired to a hike to the waterfalls. We finished up the tour with food at his Aunt’s house in the mountains! Would definitely recommend for those who are looking for a cultural tour and to learn about the Berbers!

A very special day - We had a wonderful day with our guide Omar who lead us through the Atlas mountains. At first we were picked up at the meeting point by our driver "Momo" who also picked up our guide and then we drove to our first stop the camel ride. (by the way camels are very strong they even carried my nearly 100kg self around) After 20 minutes of riding we drove until the next Stop: argan oil cooperative des femmes where you could see the women producing the oil and where we also got breakfast. After that we drove past the oldest berber town where we got the chance to take nice pictures. During the day Omar explained us a lot about the marocan culture and everything we wanted to know and he was literally the best photographer. Then our hike through the mountains started, we saw beautiful waterfalls, lots of locals and mules and the landscape is definetely breathtaking. After 1,5h of hiking we stopped at the house of our guide's sister where we got to know the whole family and where we had a really tasty lunch with tajine and salad and local fruit and of course mint tea. We really enjoyed our meal and the family was so friendly we felt really welcome. We even played soccer with Omar's nephew. Then unfortunately our beautiful day was over, we drove back to Marrakech and were very thankful that Omar made everything so special. We can highly recommend this Trip, it is a great contrast to the hectic medina and it's also very helpful to make this trip at the beginning of your vacation because you get lots of information in general. Thank you Omar! #geilezeit

Brilliant day out! - So much fun : the camel ride, hike to the scenic waterfall, lunch afterwards. We were very well looked after by Omar, very informative guide. Speaks good English (French too). This really was amazing value for money (hotel pickup and drop off included, whatsapp the day before to confirm and check for special meals). Made me want to come back and do a lot more hiking. PS you really do feel safe with Omar, everybody in the valley knows him and is happy to see him. No sales pitch at any point, in fact it wasn't easy getting a chance to give him a well deserved tip at the end!

An Amazing Day - One of the coolest days I've ever had and I've traveled lot of Europe with my wife. Hiking in the local village just below snow capped mountains and having a delicious local lunch in a home on the mountain side were equally as cool and interesting as riding camels and off-roading in the desert. A great value for everything that we got to see and experience. The guides were super friendly fun and knowledgable as well as being a pleasure to be around. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Perfect day - Our day trip to Atlas Mountains with Omar has been the best day of our Morocco vacation. Nature is stunning, food was great, camel ride was truly fun, people were very welcoming, we've learned a lot and enjoyed every moment. And of course our guide was perfect - knowledgeable, entertaining and kind. I will never forget it.

Enjoyed the experience - Day Trips From Marrakech Day Trips Dec 20, 2017 Day trip to Atlas Mountains with Camel Ride I only had a weekend in Morrocco and was so glad I took this Tour. The scenery was so beautiful and our guide Omar was the BEST. Myself and five other friends were picked up from our hotel. We stopped to see the historic city and have bread and tea. Everything that was in the tour description we enjoyed and more. I would DEFINITELY recommend this Tour to anyone. It is reasonably priced and lasts the whole day. OMAR was very attentive to our group's needs and shared some original music with us throughout the trip. Our lunch was very tasty and all the staff was very friendly.
