a great day out with a first rate guide and authentic lunch - Well worth a trip out of the city into the awesome Atlas mountains and particularly good to do it to provide some income to local people terribly hit by the earthquake. Abdul was a wonderful driver and guide - lots of info, history and cultural insight in perfect English. Highlight was lunch in the home with a real family, no tourist fake this - the real thing. Delicious and felt very welcome. Nice to go on Sunday - all the kids were out and about - very charming! But it's like looking back a couple of centuries - a very traditional rural Berber way of life. Fascinating. Strongly recommend.

Atlas Mountains, amazing! - The views were incredible. Mohammed our driver/tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgable, told us so much about the history, local geography and culture and recent events in and around the mountains. He also stopped over plenty of times for pictures. Everyone on the trip was so friendly. The food was some of the best we had in Morocco. The views were stunning. Overall a great trip and very much worth the money.

Amazing day in the Atlas Mountains - We just had the best day in the Atlas Mountains with our tour guide Ishmael! It was a great day from start to finish, from being picked up early doors by Ishmael who was so positive, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, to being taken to local ladies for breakfast who taught us how they made argon oil and gave us an opportunity to test and purchase their natural beauty products, to coffee by the river, and then driving round the valleys stopping off at amazing viewpoints, and then walking around a valley and having an amazing lunch in a locals house.
An amazing experience, with Ishmael making it even more fun and enjoyable! Highly recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Valley Tour with Ismail - Not to repeat other posts, but what a great tour from start to finish. We were very fortunate to have Ismail as our tour guide, simply the best. His enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge made a 5 star tour even better!
Being able to visit and purchase goods from the cooperative ladies, walk with the local hiking guide, and eat in a traditional Berber family home, you are getting a unique experience.
I can not recommend this tour enough, and if you are fortunate enough to have Ismail as your guide, you get a bonus 👍🏼

Ismail & Atlas Mountains - Ismail was a fantastic tour guide & we had a lovely day. Lots of variety and we had the perfect number of people in our group. Ismail kept us informed the whole trip and the lunch was absolutely delicious. Would recommend this trip to anyone visit Marrakech! You do need to wear appropriate footwear and trainers as it is a bit of a walk (uphill and uneven in some places).

Great day out, would highly recommend! - Great day in the mountains with Abdul. He shared lots of local knowledge with us which was really interesting. Plenty of stops for fresh air and points of interest.
We particularly enjoyed the hike with another Abdul, and the lunch with the Berber family was delicious. They welcomed us into their home and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
The mountains are beautiful and well worth a visit.
