Best day in Marrakech! Do it! - Abdul, my tour guide is an extremely friendly person. Fantastic trip to the Atlas mountains, with a small stop along the way for some Moroccan breakfast. Nice car, and a clean car. Abdul is incredibly good at telling and explaining. I myself am a very open person, so we had many good talks on the trip to the Atlas mountains. In the Atlas Mountains, I met Redwan, a super sweet and friendly local guide, who agreed to the hike in the mountains. He certainly took very good care of me. All in all, 'money well spent', I would gladly take that trip again. Huge recommendation from here. Do it. Worth all the money!

Great Tour 😁 - Did this private tour as a solo traveller with Mohammed. It couldn't have gone any better; clear pickup instructions provided over WhatsApp the day before, bottle of water provided, great vehicle, great guide explained a lot about the city, culture and landscape. Top notch, would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to see some of the Atlas Mountains while in Morocco.

An unforgettable experience not to be missed - The trip was very well planned and full of unique and incredible experiences, but what really made the day was our amazing tour guide Mohammed. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was honestly the best tour guide we’d ever had. The lunch with the Berber family on the mountain was also such an unforgettable experience. Please do this excursion, you will not regret it!

Lovely and informative! - My husband and I had an amazing time on the day tour to the High Atlas Mountains! We enjoyed a beautiful hike then some mint tea by the rivers along the mountain foothills. Then continued our journey seeing all 5 valleys and had a very tasty traditional lunch prepared by a Berber family. We also had the opportunity to stop by at a women’s co-op where we were able to buy some handmade natural products. Ismail was an amazing guide and shared many fun facts about Morocco. Drop off and pick up was also very easy to coordinate and arrange - I would recommend this tour to all!

Highlight of our holiday - We selected the small group option but we were the only ones so we got a private tour! Abdul, our driver, was very friendly and generous with information. We talked about all aspects of Moroccan history, culture, and life, on our journey to and from the mountains. He also gave lots of recommendations for places to go, eat, etc. The mountains are as beautiful as everyone says and definitely worth a visit. When we got to the Berber villages we were placed in the care of Mohammed who was our guide around the village and waterfalls. Mohammed was excellent and able to tailor the experience to us. Overall, couldn't be happier with our tour which has been the highlight of our holiday so far. Would highly recommend.

Amazing hike - Amazing hike up the mountains. Ismail (our driver and guide) made the day — we learnt so much about Morocco from him. So knowledgable about Morocco and ensured we were given a 5* service. Prompt pick up and drop off ☑️ Lovely AC car. Will book again with this company as long as we get Ismail again 😁

Great trip out of the city with excellent guides - Just returned from a fantastic trip for a waterfall hike with our guide Ismael. Picked up on time from our hotel and about an hours drive up into the mountains. We stopped at a co-operative to learn about Argan Oil then continued up to the waterfalls. Ismael passed us over to Redwan who helped us scramble up the rocks to the waterfall. Lovely guy. Then back for fresh orange juice before meeting back up with Ismael. I would thoroughly recommend the trip with Ismael who kept us entertained all journey answering our endless questions with a big smile on his face. And we even had a little karaoke on the way back. Perfect length of trip in great company, and we’ll worth seeing a different part of the country. Thank you!

Fantastic hike and excellent guides! - Ishmael was fantastic from start to finish. He has a bubbly and very knowledgeable personality with excellent English. We made stops to stretch our legs and admire great views before visiting a women's co-op (not a hard sell) and onto a very scenic area to hike into the Ourika valley and the Atlas mountains. Another great guide Redwan took us on a fairly challenging (at times) hike which was well worth the effort. Beautiful waterfalls and mountain scenery finished off with wonderful fresh orange juice by the river. We even saw wild macaque monkeys. A superb tour and would definitely recommend.

Amazing trip - We had a fantastic time on this trip, Abdul picked us up on time, and was really friendly and knowledgeable - the drive up to the mountains felt like it took no time - but not in a scary way, Abdul was a great driver. Our guide in the mountains, also called Abdul, told us more about the area and the walk up to the waterfalls was stunning, from here we walked a little further and stopped for refreshments with amazing views! A great day all round.
