Wonderful atlas tour! - We went to Marrakesh with my two sisters. One of my sisters was celebrating her 50th birthday which was earlier in the year. I have been to Marrakesh at least four times before but this was the first time for my sisters. I had never done the Atlas Mountains before and was really looking forward to the tour. It was excellent and our driver and tour guide were really lovely and kind.
The tour guide was excellent very knowledgable about the area. The hiking was great and I recommend knowing that it’s at least 2 hours of walking higher into the mountains and across some tricky points. I loved it but my sister who had never been hiking before found it difficult.
Really great tour and we couldn’t believe how cheap it was!
The best part was going to the tour guides home where we had the best meal I had in Marrakesh! His family, wife, daughter and so were really welcoming and lovely! We actually want to go back and stay at their guest house.

The best excursion in Morocco - This is a must book experience in Morocco and the whole family loved it!
Our driver Dieb a local from the mountains picked us up on time and told us so much on our journey to the mountains that we had not known, he was really friendly and stopped in 2 places for beautiful picture stops. He handed us over to our valley guide Mohamed who took us to some toilets before our trek. Be mindful it’s 1.5 hrs walking over uneven ground so do not attempt if walking is difficult or have trouble completing a 3 mile walk, I would not recommend for kids under 7 due to terrain. The kids loved asking lots of questions and the waterfalls were beautiful and so worth the trek. The guide kept the pace slow and kept checking we were all ok.
Take some small notes for local sellers /refreshments along the way, unlike Marrakech the sellers are not pushy but just show you what they have as you pass.
The experience of having lunch in Mohammed’s home was very humbling and the most delicious food we have eaten our whole trip. There was so much our very hungry family could not finish it all. Please leave the family a tip here as there is no asking for extra and at the such low cost of the trip could not be getting very much for the time his wife had put into preparing and cooking for us. We also took colouring pencils/books for the children and some sweets to say thank you. The camel ride we choose to do at the end and this is just a flat field with a guide walking them. You get to dress up in the outfits and walk for 20 mins, the guide took some lovely family photos. Doing this at the end was perfect as we were tired from walk so did not want to do much more and nice finish for kids. I still can not get over how cheap this was for such an amazing experience, Diab and Mohamed were very friendly and gave lots of information, the whole Berber community was welcoming and no one is doing it for money unlike in the medina, everyone in the village wanted to say hello and we all felt really safe and welcome. We have added pictures to show our time.

Good Experience 🤍❤️ - This day trip was one of the most amazing advantures I ever got to experience. Amal the guide is a very good guide, due to the fact that she's a local, she speaks good english, she is funny, aswell as enthusiastic about sharing her culture. I'm a tour guide myself and her love for her home that she opens up to the guests surpasses everything I have seen with my collegues in Germany. There is a proper amount of luxury with the bus, yet no lack of adventure, e.g. when exploring the valley with amal. The nature is stunning aswell and you'll see the Atlas mountains out of a way more impressive angle than from Marrakesh downtown. Also don't think you already saw the Alps so you won't be impressed by the Atlas, because that's not how this works. Food was really good, I had my doubts when eating in Marrakesh but here it was all fresh and delecious. We left amal a tip, espacially because the price was from my point of view a lot cheaper than the value of the tour (and not because that was in anyway expected). The guide even helped us check the quality and haggle the prize, when we wanted to buy spices on the local market, which is just one detail how caring he was throughout the day.
As you can see I highly recommend to spend this daytrip with Amal, because it was more than confincing in every aspect. Thanks for the amazing experience!!

Fantastic tour - We had a fantastic trip up into the Atlas mountains with Abdelaziz.
Their minibus was very clean, and driven far better than any other excursion we went on during our trip to Marrakech. The stops were good, and Abdel gave us good information as we went.
The Tajin at Abdel's family home was without a doubt the best we tasted during our visit, and he talked us through some really interesting history about his people.
The walk up to the waterfall isn't too taxing at all, and was well shaded most of the way.
All in all, a great experience!

Epic views, authentic berber experiences and the best guide one can imagine - This day trip was one of the most amazing advantures I ever got to experience. Mustapha the guide is a very good guide, due to the fact that he's a local, he speaks good english, he is funny, aswell as enthusiastic about sharing his culture. I'm a tour guide myself and his love for his home that he opens up to the guests surpasses everything I have seen with my collegues in Germany. There is a proper amount of luxury with the bus, yet no lack of adventure, e.g. when exploring the valley with Mustapha. The nature is stunning aswell and you'll see the Atlas mountains out of a way more impressive angle than from Marrakesh downtown. Also don't think you already saw the Alps so you won't be impressed by the Atlas, because that's not how this works. Food was really good, I had my doubts when eating in Marrakesh but here it was all fresh and delecious.

Wonderful experince ! - Mustapha and this tour was really great ! He is really nice and a fun guide. We learned a lot about the berber and the villages around the moutain. the lunch at the end of the hike at Mustaohas house was the best experice and best food i had. I am vegan and had a hard time finding good food but that was a great meal. and it was so nice being in a local home. The only complaint i have is, when we stopped by the womans coparative for argan oil, they really overcharged us. it was our second day in morroco so we bought a lot of oil thinking they wil give us a decent deal but we later found out that we were boube and triple charged. that was the biggest disappointment. Besides that i highly recommend the trip.

Look No Further! - Mustapha was absolutely incredible. He picked us up from our Riad because we didn’t know how to find the meeting point, and walked us straight to our Riad door after the tour, in the very confusing Médina.
The tour was outstanding, his story telling, knowledge and personality was more than we could have expected. The locations he takes you to are breath taking, and the traditional meal in his family home in the high Atlas Mountains will leave you feeling like you’ve done something unique and personal.
Would rate more stars if we could. Shookran, Mustapha.

Magical experience of local life ! - Many many thanks to the host Mustapha for this wonderful experience! He is super kind, helpful and very friendly. He shared so many interesting stories about the local culture and life of the area. He let us try so many typical local food and Moroccan tea and also stopped at every beautiful spot to let us take pictures and enjoy the view. We felt like a part of the family. It was a super pleasant experience and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
