Good short trip into Berber country - Great trip. No hassle and laid back trip into the foothills of the High Atlas. If you want a short trip to get the flavour of the differnces between the Marakesh and the Berber communities this is recommended

Very enjoyable - A laidback and relaxed way to take a break from the hustle of the city. The weather was gorgeous with clear blue skies and our driver Mohammad did a great job keeping us entertained with historical and geographical information, even helped us buy Atay (tea) from the local grocery store :). Especially enjoyed drinking tea by the flowing river and having the Berber breakfast with the kitty family :).

Atlas mountain trip - The driver/guide was very knowledgeable so we felt we knew a lot more about Morocco after our trip. The walk in the mountains was quite baron and the views were not as spectacular as we thought they might be. The traditional Berber breakfast and argon oil experience was lovely.

Great communication from... - Great communication from start and the organiser. Pick up was there early. Guide was accommodating throughout and was both knowledgeable and entertaining with his commentary. Chose this as walk wasn’t too strenuous and path was more stable.

Excellent authentic trip to the Atlas Mountains - Friendly guide, Mohammed with us. Small group which was great, breakfast Moroccan style and learning how Aragon Oil is made, short walk up the mountain side and a coffee stop by the water, highly recommend the half day trip.

This tour is a lovely... - This tour is a lovely relaxing way to experience part of the Atlas Mountains. Our guide Abdul was very knowledgeable about the area and Moroccan history. He was very kind and made sure we got out of the half day what we wanted to see and do. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Ourika valley - Great day with Abdul yesterday, he was a brilliant guide. We really enjoyed the experience and he allowed us the flexibility to choose our own timetable and stay as long as we wanted at each stop. We got a great insight into the history of Morocco, highly recommend

Relaxing excursion - Perfect for a day when you want to get out of the busy city and relax. Our driver Abdul gave a us a wonderful ride giving us so much history on the Berber and Moroccan culture. He let us take as much time as we wanted at each of the stops. Stops included a cliff side stop for photos at the mountain, a quick mountainside hike, stopping for breakfast at the Argan oil co-op where you learn about how the oil is made, and a riverside spot for drinks. Such a beautiful morning/afternoon in the Atlas Mountains, definitely recommend!

Relaxing Atlas Mountain Tour - This is a relaxing way to gain a cultural view of Marrakesh & the Atlas Mountains.
I think maybe 1 stop for tea is enough but other than that well organised. Our guide was excellent
