Toubkal Adventure - We had a wonderful few days booking a tour through Mustapha. Everything was seamless from the pick-up in Marrakesh to arriving in Imlil. We had a fantastic guide Yousef - he was knowledgeable, kind and enthusiastic. The first day we headed to the mountain hut stopping for a delicious lunch about half way. We were amazed at the delicious food our cook was able to produce too. Mustapha prides himself on only using guides from the local village to Toubkal - knowledgeable, local and ensuring local people have the opportunities. The day of the ascent was a tough climb - a 4.30am start, with crampons and the altitude meant you just have to focus on one step in front of the other but we could not have been more supported by Yousef. It felt amazing to get up there for sunrise - breathtaking views. Thank you to Mustapha, Yousef and the team for an unforgettable few days.

Best Tour Company & Guide ever!!! - Phenomenal trip! Mustafa planned our trip seamlessly, and we were lucky to be paired with Abdul as a guide. Abdul made the experience 10/10. Cozy huts, amazing local food and we made it to the top of Mount Toubkal! I would recommend this agency to everyone!

Ultimate adventure expertly guided - Fantastic trip expertly organised. We are a family of 4 and spent 4 days trekking in Imlil and climbing Toubkal. We had a wonderful guide who looked after our 6 and 8 year old like his own family, keeping everyone safe, happy and relaxed and getting us to the summit! We were spoiled with our own cook who provided delicious meals. We had incredibly kind and thoughtful service every step of the way. The riad Jnane in Imlil is stunning (also with a very talented chef), one night there was too short a stay. I would highly recommend this company and will definitely be asking Mustafa to plan our next Morocco trip!

Brilliant experience - We organised a two day experience with Mustapha, to include a day trek and one day on horseback. He could not have been more helpful in communicating with us, as to what to expect and organising the details of the trip - very clear communications and also incredibly quick to get back to my emails. Everything from what to wear to any dietary requirements we might have - not least our levels of fitness! The whole experience was fabulous - from when Lahcen (a family member) picked us up from our hotel in Marrakech. You never quite know if these things are going to work, but he was there promptly and immediately asked if we might prefer to go hiking that day, as opposed to the scheduled horseriding, as the weather was not so good and we would probably get very cold on the horses. After taking us to Rhiad Jnane Imlil where we were taken to our gorgeous room (we upgraded to the Casablanca suite - highly recommend this room) we were taken by another family member on the trek. Amazing views, despite the lousy weather, right up to the Berber villages high up. After a few hours we returned to to Rhiad Jnane Imlil, to be greeted to a truly delicious home cooked feast of tagine and various extras. Really welcomed and delicious, and with the fire going in the background, it felt incredibly cosy. After a snooze, we came down later for dinner, again a delicious meal and on returning to our room, the fire had been lit and so was beautifully cosy and warm. The next day, after a good breakfast, we drove back towards Marrakech for around 40 minutes, and along some tracks (wondering where we were going) to be greeted (in the middle of nowhere) by three horses and men holding them. The next few hours were delightful - the sun was out, the ride and track was stunning with incredible views over the mountains - and although my partner complained of saddle sore, it was fabulous. Again, at the end of the ride, we were greeted by Mustapha, and had lunch in a fab local place - before he showed us a local co-operative producing Argan oil. He even brought us a gift to take home with us - beautiful moroccan slippers each. I cannot say enough how welcome we felt, how everyone went out of their way to ensure we had such a memorable trip and how much we'd recommend them. Felt a bit like leaving a family, but equally if you wanted your own space, that would be respected too. Truly good people and offering a first class service. Thank you Mustapha and all your team/family.

2 Day trek from Imlil to summit of Toubkal - highly recommended - We organised a hike up Toubkal in September 2019 through Mustapha at Atlas and Sahara Tours, having been recommended by Spanish Highs who we’d trekked with before. Mustapha was extremely helpful at every stage, from initial contact and booking, through to organising our trip up the mountain and all the accommodation and catering we needed. The riad in imlil is decorated nicely, clean and very hospitable. We were a group of 7 walkers, relatively fit but not experienced and hardened climbers. We took the 2 day tour up to the summit of Toubkal, with a one night stay at the mountain refuge before a moon lit climb for the last 1000 metres to the top of the mountain. Our guide Omar was knowledgeable, friendly and experienced and we all felt we were in good hands. I can’t recommend this hike enough - the 3.30am start from the refuge on the second day is a bit surreal but well worth it for the unforgettable and breath taking views that greet you at sunrise. Truly astonishing. Having made it back to Imlil in the foothills, Mustapaha had organised transfers back to Marrakech making everything simple and smooth for our return. Highly recommended.

Toubkal Challenging Trek 2 days - We had a fantastic experience. We arrived late at night (around 9.00pm) but they still organised a tour for us and actually a private room at the Refugio (that was fully booked when I called). The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Even though we were sceptical about taking a guide, it was definitely worth it. He knew the area v well and we took a more challenging way down (7h walking fast). Great guide and tour. awesome service.
