Packed hike - Had a fantastic hike with Ibrahim my mountain guide, and Hossain the muleteer. Was fantastic to have the mule carry all the bags while hiked from 1700m to the summit at 4167m. All inclusive of taxis to and from Marrakech, food, accommodation in refuge, local tips and great company. Pathfinders gave me plenty of notice about what to pack and what weather I could expect. Great value for a packed 2 day hike. The hike to the summit took us 2.5 hrs, and we even checked out a helicopter wreckage on the way down. Was relieved my fitness was up to scratch coz the final hike to the summit was quite steep!

Great Tour! - We had two wonderful days in the Atlas Mountains. Everything was well organized. Thanks to our guide Ibrahim, who kept us motivated all the way up and down. And thanks to our chef Hassan, who served us delicious food and took care of our luggage.

Amazing trek with the best guides! - My husband and I booked our two day trek to Mt. Toubkal with Pathfinders Treks. Rachid, the owner is very professional and caring and answered all of our questions. He set us up with a great guide, Rashid who guided us safely all the way. The food was tasty and there was more than enough to feed a full table of people.
Everything from the beginning to the end of the trek was done with care and professionalism. On the way we also met Hassan, another guide from Pathfinders Treks who has a great sense of humor and is very energetic.
I highly recommend Pathfinders Treks and will definitely book through them on our next visit to Morocco.

Wonderful sunrise summit of Toubkal and mountain bike ride - My friends and I did Pathfinders 2-day Toubkal trek in November. Rachid, the owner, was very professional and replied promtly to all communications. Our guide Hassan was very friendly and professional and helped us our lots during our climb of the mountain. After staying in the refuge overnight we got an early start and climbed to the summit where we witnessed an amazing sunrise over the atlas mountains.
After coming down from the mountain we decided to stay in Imlil for another night and Rachid helped organise aguesthouse for us to stay in. We also decided to take a mountain bike tour through the valleys near Imlil with Pathfinders the next day, which was a greatd way to see the region and all the nearby Berber villages. Overall, I would highly recommend Pathfinders for their excellent guiding and value.

Our local experts looking out for us - Rachid was very responsive on e-mail and when we needed to pick up extra equipment for our trek he told the local store owner "you're not negotiating with the girl, you're negotiating with me," which made us feel like we were in good hands and that we had our team with us looking out for our best interests.
Hassan was our guide up the mountain and he is an extremely skilled mountaineer. He made sure that we stopped for plenty of breaks to enjoy the view of the mountain and catered the pace for our liking. His English was strong enough that we did not feel challenged in our communication with him. He placed a strong emphasis on safety above all and was not over ambitious in the way that he climbed, which put us at ease.
I would highly recommend Atlas Pathfinders team and we had a great time going up the mountain!

Three days Mount Toubkal trek - Climbing the Toubkal with Pathfinderstreks was an amazing experience. We had our private guide namend Ibrahim who guided us through the mountains and told us a lot about the mountains and the area. There was also a private cook who made us breakfast, lunch and dinner which tasted very well. Ibrahim and Rachid were very helpfull and the contact before and after the trip was very usefull! We would definitely recommend Pathfinderstreks!

Beautiful challenging trip. - My wife and me decided to do the 2 day trip to Mount Toubkal. The ascent is challenging but doable in good physical condition.
The early wake up was way worth to enjoy the stunning sunrise. Lhassan guided us safe to the top and back.
Rachid is very fast in answering questions via email. The whole trip with all the transfers was well organised and we got a lot of support if needed to organise other stuff.
Very much recommended.
