Amazing experience - We are delighted with the experience and the guide, Rachid. He introduces you into Marocco in a very unique way, making you always feel as at home.
I never couldn’t imagine making some BTT in the Atlas!
Any doubts I’ll contact him again whenever I’m back!

Spectacular trip through the Atlas Mountains to the Desert - We went on a 3 day, 2 night trip across the Atlas Mountains to the Dades Gorge and then the desert (overnight glamping) with Rachid. It was a spectacular trip in conjunction with Atlas Mountain Guides & Atlas Mountain Bike. We will definitely do the bike & hike when we have some more time! Rachid is an exceptional and highly informative guide & a wonderful human who couldn't have been more responsive to our every need. Highly recommend this experience. 5/5

The best mountain bike/trekking guide in all of Morocco - A spectacular guide and team of cooks! He knows Spanish perfectly, fun, attentive, helpful and open to changes in the route or whatever is necessary. A 10 in this adventure, and others that we experienced with him when climbing Toubkal.

Gravel Experience - Incredible experience lived with the Gravel bicycle through Morocco. The guide Rachid is a very good person, with a lot of knowledge of the terrain and attentive to everything that is said. They supported us with a van and the cook and the assistant made us food in the middle of the routes, and these two people are excellent cooks and people. We spent 11 days in Morocco living an unparalleled experience. I totally recommend this great group of people.

9 days MTB biking trip in the Tassaout and High Atlas Mountains - We did the 9 days biking trip in the tassaout and atlas mountains in MTB for two people with Rachid an a Driver.
The tour was very well organized with all the stuff/equipment that we could need , a good, practically new rental bike and a spare bike for each of us, sparte parts and tool, food prepared by our guide that was good and plentiful.
Furthermore, Rachid shot many videos with the GOPRO camera that he gives us on a USB stick.
Personally I really appreciated the more remote places and out of the normal tourist routes such as the Gite d'etape of Tagmoute.

Tough climb great day out - Great day out from Marrakech! Good WhatsApp comms from Rachid about pick-up. Picked up from local landmark near our Riad (roads impassable for vehicles in much of Medina) at 9.15am for hour and half drive to Asni.
A nice tea to relax, then up we went! 1000m ascent to around 2300m above sea level, no kidding it’s tough, but amazing views, passing remote villages in the Atlas Mountains. Only minor climbs after the first ascent, it was mostly downhill after.
40km ride in total with lunch stop by cool river, shaded spot, great local food provided by back-up vehicle. We felt looked after and well supported by Rachid, the mountain bikes were new looking and in top condition. No better way to see the Atlas Mountains. Plus it’s much cooler up there, Marrakech was a sweltering 38C it must be around 10C less in the mountains

Stunning mountainbike near Toubkal in Imlil mountains - Together with my guide Rachid, I made a stunning mountainbike tour through the Imlil Atlas mountains. Besides it"s a breathtaking environment (ideal for mountainbike and hiking), I feel myself very privileged and gratituded for having met the people there. You're their guest and they'll do everything to please you. For me it was much more than a mountainbike trip but it was a eye-opener how you can be happy with less. Since it was my birthday, Rachid's sister baked me a cake and her children sang a birthday song in berber.
Don"t hesitate to book. They'll keep all the promises, nice bikes, are flexible and very customer minded.

6 day walk in the High Atlas - We are a couple in our 70s. We have done a lot of different mountain walks but this is something totally different. The paths are quite difficult in places because the stones can make your feet slip. So having Rachid as our guide with Ali as muleteer and cook was BRILLIANT! Rachid was an excellent guide who altered our itinerary to reflect the fact that I was rather ill at the time. Normally I lose weight on treks but with Ali producing banquets for three meals per day I didn't. Rachid organised all the accommodation which varied in quality but when in the mountains you don't expect the Ritz. In Imlil valley we had a wonderful room with a comfortable double bed and an en suite shower room. Fabulous. If you're heading for the Atlas get hold of Rachid. He's a good guy.

Excellent tour with friendly guide - I booked a last minute trip with these guys after my other biking company was a no-show and I'm so happy I did.
The guide, Mohammad, was great and clearly loved biking and knew a lot about the area. The route itself was exactly what I wanted - challenging enough to be fun but not too tough.
The lunch was great and Mohammad was well prepared with spare parts and tools in case anything broke.
We saw some great views and small local villages. The bikes are pretty good - full suspension with disc brakes and good range of gears. Unfortunately no dropper posts but it was raising and lowering the seat manually.
This was one of the highlights of my Morocco trip - thanks guys!

Goog experience - Very good organization; Rachid is a good guide and Rachim and Abdulatif are a good cooks. Perhaps they have to adapt the hotels to the needs of the costumers at the cost of paying more money.
The routs have been spectaculars and we return home with a good experience.
