With the family - Helpful guide! Very affordable tour with many nice activities. Our 11-year-old was also pleased. The hike was a bit tougher in the heat than we were prepared for, but it still went well.

Great visit to mountain village, mustafa is a top guide - Mustafa tells many beautiful stories. The mountain village and the walk are definitely worth it. The camel ride was told: “it looks nice in pictures, but in real life it is terrible”. I totally agree, you're riding a camel on a sandy plain along the highway. The rest of the day is highly recommended. Lunch at Mustafa's family's house is great. Really a very good guide who tells a lot of interesting things about Berber culture. For the walk you need to be fit.

A little hidden gem. - This was def a little different, a short camel ride dressed in traditional wear which was great fun. A visit to a cooperative then to the mountains. Lunch was amazing best tasting food compared to the restaurants. our tour guide was very very helpful and knowledgeable 100%, very good at his job. The hike, through the Village and to waterfalls so glad we did it. Took you off the beaten path. At the waterfall had the best coffee and great orange juice from those kids. Def make sure you grab a cup. Would highly recommend this tour. Offered so much value compared to other similar trips.

An exciting and educational tour of the Atlas range - This tour exceeded my expectations. From the camel ride, in which we were provided with the clothing of the Berbers, to the patience of the operators, it was all great. The tour guide, Omar, was well educated and provided great detail when we were in the mountains on our walks. From religion to schools to the earthquake, we all learned a great deal of good information. The food and tea breaks were wonderful. i was surprised to experience the level of accommodation and food we had in the mountains. It was impressive to receive the level of service and food at the restaurant in the mountains. And finally, there was a slight delay at the meeting point. I left and returned to my Riad, and the manager called the guide, Omar, and had him wait a few minutes for my return. Then, she had her staff rush me (3 minutes ) on his scooter to meet the van, and all was good for the rest of the day. Truly an exciting day in Marrakech.

A quality tour led by a Berber, Omar, a very intelligent and good communicator - The education provided was exceptional. He covered many topics of the life in the Atlas mountains. From the earthquake of 2023 to the education of the young children.
The camel ride and dressing in traditional costumes was really great.
The walking in the mountains was very cool and it was very tiring

A good experience - We spent an unforgettable day with our guide Jawad Mazik.
The walk to the waterfalls was beautiful, with breathtaking scenery. Jawad also introduced us to the Berber villages, sharing their history and traditions with us with passion.
We ended the tour with a typical meal, excellent and prepared with great care. Throughout the day, Jawad was attentive, caring and very friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Jawad to anyone who wants to discover the area in an authentic and friendly way. Thank you again for this beautiful moment!
