Day trip to Atlas Mountains - This was an excellent tour. Abdelrani is a wonderful knowledgeable guide and knows the Berber family in the Atlas Mountains where you will have lunch which is an incredible spot with wonderful views. The walk to the waterfall was a lot of fun and we had a local guide for that part. Absolutely worth it, our best day in Morocco.

Great trip with an even greater guide! - We spent the day with Hicham. He picked us up in Marrakech, showed us around the Atlas Mountains (Berber museum, lunch and waterfalls included) and organized a last minute trip to the desert including dinner for us. Overall, the trip was more than perfect. Hicham is a unbelievably funny and kind guy who enjoys showing his culture and country to visitors. We didn't have a boring minute on this trip and enjoyed every minute. Thank you, Hicham for the great day! We hope to see you again soon!

Full Day tour of 3 valleys was absolutely brilliant - We took a full day tour with Abdu as a guide. His English was brilliant and knowledge of the areas and history was superb. The scenery was stunning and a highlight was lunch in a traditional Berber house overlooking the mountains. The food was traditionally cooked Tagine and was beautiful. This is one of the best trips I’ve done. Recommended to anyone and also Abdu as a first rate guide.

Exceptional tour guide - Two years ago I visited Ait Ben Haddou with another company. This time I was with a friend and I decided to use another company. i booked the tour with Abdelghani. This was amazing. He drove very safely and along the way he told us about the history and culture of his people and answered all our questions. His enthusiasm was contagious. For me, it was a completely different experience. I was able to appreciate more the beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the Berber Villages and their people and I learned a lot a lot about the magnificent Ait Ben Haddou. For this UNESCO place he booked a local guide that is one of the few actual residents. Our lunch was delicious, chicken tagine, salads, olives and fruits. i strongly recommend this local company and our guide.

Fun, beautiful scenery, very enjoyable tour - Great tour, take the opportunity to get out of the intensity of Marrakech for a few hours! Abdu was a really great guide, so informative and flexible, arranged for us to include a hike to the waterfalls even though not formally part of the tour. Also the lunch with the Berber family was great, just us there, wonderful chance to visit a real family and see their home. Some beautiful scenario along the journey, no problem to stop at any time for photos etc. Overall would really recommend this tour, and would absolutely travel with Abdu again.

Amazing day - We had such a great time during our day trip up to the mountains! The driver was very nice and drove very carefully. We ended the day on camels to see the sunset near Marrakech. Would recommend this company.
