Great hiking in the High Atlas Mts around Imlil! - We are an Australian couple, age mid seventies but still active, and recently we had a wonderful experience in the High Atlas Mts, Morocco. Organised by Moroccan Imperial Tours, as part of a 15 day tour, we stayed two nights in Riad Jnane in Imlil, which is beautifully set under spectaculr snow capped mt peaks. On the middle free day, we were collected by Lahcen, (photographed in the green cap, presenting a mint tea making ceremony), for a wonderful day hiking in the mts around Imlil, through walnut forests, along old trails, passing villages pressed on mountain slopes. Lahcen tailored the hike to our ability, providing us with hiking sticks, and sharing wonderful insights into the way of life still enjoyed by local people. One of the many highlights was a visit to his family home for mint tea refreshments, to be warmly welcomed by his family. What a memorable experience. We highly recommend it. Thank you Lahcen!

Such a beautiful experience! - We used Imperial Tours for our trip to Marrakech because one of my fellow travelers had used them 8 years prior when they were in town. I am so glad we used them, Youseff took care of absolutely everything for us during our 4 night/5 day trip. Between him and our driver Abduul, we felt safe, and well taken care of which is important in a foreign country! Each evening we both Youseff and Abduul checked in on us to make sure we had a good day and to see if there was anything at all we needed. It was wonderful! The hike was absolutely incredible and beautiful! It was a more intense hike than I anticipated but the journey was well worth it for the views at the top of the mountain! We ate fresh berries and walnuts along the way to keep us energized. We were excited to learn that our tour guide for the day was also part of the family that was hosting us for lunch. The experience was so beautiful to be immersed in a culture completely different than my own. I highly recommend this!

Trip of a lifetime - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide, Abdul. Abdul was available 24/7, always smiling and always had water for us. Abdul is very knowledgeable about his country, was accommodating to our needs and for making us feel safe and comfortable. We enjoyed the camel ride, the riads, especially Riad Ksar Anica in Marrakesh. Room for improvement would be the tenting accommodations. Thank you Youseff for helping us to plan a trip of a lifetime. Thank you to Abdul for making it memorable.

A day trip to Imlil and Kasbah Toubkal - Six of us, four in our 70’s and two in our 50’s chose this tour to be able to see the Atlas Mountains on a day trip. It was perfect. The two of us who are not hikers spent a pleasant couple of hours at the Kasbah Toubkal, while four of us hiked with the guide through the surrounding countryside, all in the shadow of the snow capped mountains. The tour company and guides did an excellent job of meeting our different needs.

We waited at the area stated on our... - <p>We waited at the area stated on our voucher for over 1hr the driver then turned up saying he had to collect us from our Riad. We showed him the voucher, he never apologised. He drove as fast as he could on the trip to make time up! He never stopped for us to have lunch and did not stop for the optional camel ride which we asked him to do. The actual trip was lovely. We have sent u 2 emails regarding this trip and our disappointment with certain aspects and have received no reply.</p>
