A great visit to the Atlas Mountains - It was a very nice trip. The guide was very helpful and full of knowledge. The group of participants was very diverse what was also very nice. All different cultures and nationalities. We were lucky with the weather.
We booked an other trip but something did not go right one way or the other. After all we were very glad we went on this trip for the nature and home visiting the Berber people. The long hike was not foreseen for us but a very welcome addition. Hospitality and on route information was excellent. Also did the tour guide know is language. Very understandable for every participant.

Scam - We couldn't do the excursion. They canceled it at the last minute without prior notice, they contacted us a few hours before to tell us that it was not going to happen without giving us any further explanation! You better have a plan B, because everything is too hasty to be able to book a different one. A fraud!
