Lovely days in fantastic landscape - From high mountain passes with snow to lush valleys. Small nice villages with friendly people. Mohammed is a really skilled and pleasant guide. The chef makes good, fresh food - pastasalat, lentils, tagine, couscous. The route can be challenging - steep paths with loose rocks and streams to cross - requires good shoes and gives sore legs 😁 We had full sun and lush weather in February (on the day). Practical info: We got our pickup time to know by even calling the evening before. Remember towel and very warm clothes for the night. Warm socks! Don’t expect the mule to carry a lot of your luggage, it’s mostly for food and kitchen utensils.

Highlight of our trip to Morocco and a must if you enjoy hiking - Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys hiking and escaping the chaos of big cities. This was easily the highlight of our Morocco trip. Thankfully, everything went very smoothly—although at one point it didn’t seem like it would. There was a minor communication issue when confirming the pickup location, as I didn’t hear back from the agency at first, but after a few messages late the night before, everything was sorted and we were on our way—and we’re so glad we went. Our guides were fantastic and handled changes outside of our control with ease, including weather that temporarily closed the trail on day two. By the following morning, we were able to continue as planned (rather than turning back), and it turned into a great hike through scenic valleys and across various peaks of the Atlas Mountains, passing through several small Berber villages along the way. We opted for the 3-day trek (which I’d recommend), though most of our group did 2 days and one person did 4. Throughout the trip, we were well fed with breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and plenty of tea. We were never hungry, and the food was satisfying and hit the spot. The villages we stayed in all had small shops where you could buy water or snacks, so there’s no need to carry too much from the start. Just remember to bring your own towel if you plan to shower, along with toilet paper and a book for some downtime in the evenings. As fairly seasoned hikers, we didn’t find anything particularly strenuous, but the routes and views were top-notch and the experience was incredibly memorable overall.

30cm of snow, power outage, blocked road back to Marrakesh but a great time! - It didn’t go plan, but we had a brilliant time and would not hesitate to recommend this trip. Good communication - we emailed before we went to ask where the pick up would be and then had an update overnight for the exact location. Driver was on time for pickup. Don’t bring lots of water - there are shops along the route and you can top up as you go. Do bring any snacks you like (we had nuts) and some tissues - there is no toilet paper anywhere. Food was chicken/mince tagine and bread. Occasionally we felt we could have eaten more, but it wasn’t a problem. We had unusually wintry weather - gloves/hat/full waterproofs/thermals essential. The guide can help you rent anything you need in Imlil (including boots). We didn’t make it to the 2nd night stop because of the weather (blizzard conditions) but came back to Imlil. When we woke up on Day 3 the power was down in Imlil, as was the phone service, and the roads were blocked with 30cm of fresh snow. Everyone was very friendly. Our guide Mustafa was excellent on the mountain and Jamal looked after us Imlil for our unexpected 24 hours in Imlil. Highly recommended.

Best Morocco experience for us - The mountains were the best part of our trip to Morocco ❤️ Our guide Moustapha was very professional and thoughtful. The meals were simple but abundant and the organizers were very considerate of the fact that we asked for vegetarian meals. Accomodations were also simple but neat. All in all we felt we got very good value for our money. And of course the views of the mountains and valleys were amazing!

3 day Atlas trek - This was a perfect 2 nights away from the chaos of Marrakech into the welcoming calm of the Atlas Mountains. Our local guide, Mohamad, helped us feel confident and comfortable on the mountain tracks even though the walking was a little tougher than expected. We also enjoyed freshly cooked food every day, prepared by Moustafa.

Top 3 day trek. - Super fun, unforgettable exhausting trip. Our guides guide us through all kinds of weather, downhill. Cook fantastic meals for us, we lack nothing. We still have 1 day to go and enjoy it to the fullest.

Try it! - Great experience with the Hassan guide and all the remaining company of men and mules. Three days technically affordable and very well organized in charming places. We recommend! P.s. don't worry if they contact you at the last minute, in the morning, same to agree the meeting point... But be ready at the indicated time. :)

Once we got over an... - Once we got over an initial hiccup with the pick-up in Marrakech - apparently the bus driver was told to look out for 3 people while we were only 2 - everything went very well. The trek itself was excellent and we, my brother and I, were very well fed and accommodated over the 3 days and 2 nights and dropped back to Marrakech in the late afternoon of the third day as planned. We would have no hesitation in repeating the experience.

WORTH DOING! Excellent! - Our Atlas Hiking tour with Samir & Mohammed exceeded all expectations. They were both fantastic, very friendly and happy to answer questions about the local area, while showing professionalism and great mountain knowledge. We felt safe every step of the way (travelled in a Group of ~10 people). Food and accommodation were typical of the area, which made for an authentic experience. Pack a wind breaker and a fleece, it gets cold up there even in the sun!
