Amazing trip ! - Amazing day with Omar as our guide! He was very informative and it was so interesting to learn about the history and culture of the Berbers. This trip is amazing value for money. For £15 each we had a full day from 8.30am to 6pm. We had a ride on camels (this is optional), sat and drank sage tea whilst Omar told us about the Berbers, we learnt how argan oil is made, we had a small snack and rosemary tea for breakfast, then went on a 2 hour hike visiting a waterfall and passing through local villages with amazing views of the mountains. The hike was a lot of uphill but was broken up by frequent stops to learn some more interesting facts about the area and people. The best thing was the amazing food and hospitality we had at his mothers home at the end of the day.. thank you Omar and family

Outstanding Omar! - Omar our tour guide was so enthusiastic and went above and beyond to make everyone understand and have a good time. He took so much extra effort to take pictures of every single person especially during the camel ride. The hike was amazing and filled with beautiful views but definitely not an easy one! The lunch in the berber house was delicious and authentic too, amazing day for the price honestly

Great experience to help understand Berber culture - Omar was an amazing host, and his love for his heritage was clear as he told us about his people's history. Every aspect of the trip had been carefully considered, and it was informative and fun in equal measure.
My favourite part was the camel ride, and then the meal at the end of the hike, which after a fair bit of walking we really looked forward to.
Thank you Omar and family!

Outstanding and Highly recommended. - Was a wonderful day, rich with lots of activities, much more that what was advertised.
Jasmine was an excellent guide, very decent, polite, knowledgeable and helpful. She provided us with a lot of historical and geographical information and facts. Her English was more than perfect.
We would recommend her as a guide in particular and recommend this program as a first choice in general.

Great trip to the High Atlas - Fantastic trip with Omarr to the High Atlas via a camel ride and former olive mill to understand how olive oil and argan oil are made. The highlight though is being up in the mountains walking through and between villages and lunch made by Omarr’s family. Many thanks Omarr and family!

great experience for a great price - the experience was really amazing and we got to learn a lot about the berber history and lifestyle
omar was a great and attentive guide and the value overall was great with lunch and camel ride included
the lunch happens pretty late (4 pm) since it's at the end of the hike though so it's really more of an early dinner
