A Great Private Atlas Mountains Experience! - We had a great time! Our driver was very knowledgeable about the country as well as the Atlas mountains. We had a great breakfast at a local coop with some ladies who hand make quality argan oil which we purchased. Also we had a very knowledgeable local walking guide who took us on a lovely climb to a local/spectacular water fall. 10/10 experience.

Amazing tour for those who don’t have much time - I definitely recommend this tour. Abdul, the tour guide, is very friendly and knowledgeable, very passionate about Morocco. I learned a lot about the Moroccan culture in the ride with him, much more than I could possibly have at any museum. He had answers to all of my questions. The tour itself is really nice. You get to escape a bit from the Medina and see different landscapes. It is a good option to have a quick visit outside the city, but not wasting a whole day on it in case you don’t have much time. I booked it the night before, and the tour went through even though it was just me, appreciate that. Definitely a tour I will remember!

Amazing Tour of the Atlas - Unforgettable Atlas Adventure! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Our recent Atlas Mountains tour was an absolute gem. We Explored five beautiful valleys, each with their own unique charm left us in awe. From the lush Ourika Valley to Tamarot, the landscapes were simply spectacular. The short hike added particularly beautiful sights with a local guide and a great chance to stretch your legs and learn more about the local Berbers. The highlight, however, was lunch with a local Berber family. It offered a genuine cultural exchange, and their warm hospitality was a highlight of the trip. Our knowledgeable guide added depth to the experience, sharing captivating stories about the region and its people. His passion for the Atlas Mountains was infectious. This adventure blends natural beauty, cultural immersion, and insightful guidance, making it a must for anyone seeking an authentic Moroccan experience. Prepare to be enchanted! Lastly, do not be discouraged from booking due to the earthquake. While some are still recovering from the tragedy, the tour was unaffected and your visit will help the locals who depend upon tourism for their living. 100% recommend!

Fantastic memorable experience with Mohamed and Abdul Latif - I decided to book myself and my wife onto the private half day tour last minute, to go see the Ourika valley and waterfalls. The tour company manager ElAlaoui was very helpful and communicated clearly where we would be picked up from and at what time. We were collected by our driver Mohamed. He was welcoming, friendly and made sure we were well looked after throughout our trip. During our tour he allowed us to stop off at the mountains to look at the views and even took our pictures. He also had an amazing amount of knowledge of the area, history of Morocco and the Berber people. During the tour we were able to see the making of Argan oil, both the edible and cosmetic versions. We were then treated to some bread, honey, edible Argan oil and special peanut butter mix. There was no pressure on us to purchase the products here but we ended up buying a few of the natural ones like the hair oil as it looked too good to turn down. Our tour guide Abdul Latif took us up the valley, providing plenty of useful information about the Berber people and the town. He allowed us to take rest breaks in between and time for photos, before bringing us back down for some lovely orange juice refreshments. Overall our tour was well worth the money as we left with amazing memories and photos of the experience. Again I cannot thank our driver Mohamed and our tour guide Abdul Latif enough for making this a memorable trip for me and my wife. I would definitely recommend others to book this tour group package.

Amazing half day tour of the High Atlas!! - Really amazing informative tour, we both absolutely loved it! Abdul was so lovely and knowledgeable thouroughout the whole journey, answering all questions and giving us lots of great info about Morocco. The half day tour was perfect for us to finish off our holidays, we had a lovely hike revealing a gorgeous view of the stunning High Atlas mountains. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone keen to see some of the High Atlas. The experience was so positive we got the airport transfer service the next day. Thanks again Abdul!!

Amazing experience - Absolutely amazing experience. We did 1/2 day at Atlas Mountains and our tour guide Abdul was so welcoming and extremely informative. He stopped enroute for many photo opportunities and we also visited a local women’s cooperative where they made and sold loads of organic cosmetic products. The hike through the Atlas Mountains was led by local guide Hicham who was extremely helpful and patient in assisting us on the trek. The views were beautiful and worth the hike! Would definitely recommend comfy trainers or hiking shoes!
