A two day overnight trek in the Valleys and Foot Hills of the Atlas Mountains - Mouad our guide was so amazing, he listened to our needs to walk a lot and adapted the whole trek so it was how we wished. These tours are perfect for any person because they make them personal to you. All the villagers we met along the way were so welcoming we are grateful for all the memories we created 🥰🥰 The food was incredible too do not worry about going hungry there is so much home cooking to eat from the vilages! The house of Mr Muhammad in the mountain village was so beautiful and welcoming. Actually we wish we could have had even more days treking with our wonderful guide and friend Mouad. And thanks to Omar and his wife for the Tajine! Looking forward to come back to explore more mountains in the Spring.

Excellent guide, highly recommend - We booked a half day trek in to the mountains with Green Atlas Travel. Our guide, Mouad, was brilliant. He was exceptionally knowledgable, very charming and sensitive to what we were interested in. I couldn't recommend him more highly. We were a mix of ages - two 60 year olds, and three 20 year olds and he was able to find things that we were all interested in. He took us to a local Berber house for a meal and the family were lovely and the food delicious. We have done these things before and have often been disappointed but this felt completely authentic and you really felt you were getting an insight into how the local Berber people live.

Personal tour not a tourist trap - A throughly enjoyable day in the beautiful Atlas Mountains. We were quite nervous about the term trek but our guide Mouad reassured us. Learning about the country and culture was fascinating. His passion and knowledge of his country and the mountains was evident. The Berber family we visited were so hospitable and provided us with a beautiful meal. We chatted all-day and learned so much. His English was fantastic. The whole tour was very personal it didn’t feel like a manufactured tourist tour.

Superb trek in Morocco - A fantastic trek with a superb lunch cooked and eaten in the house of a friendly local family. It was a great day to spend getting to see some of the “real” Morocco. Would definitely recommend this as a trip - far better than lounging around in your hotel!

Half day hike at Amizmiz - We went on a half day hike above Amizmiz which was beautiful. Our walking guide Mouad is a truly inspiring individual whose conversation was incredibly engaging. We talked about everything from family life to the earthquake to the history of Morocco to the flora and fauna and so much more! Mouad is a beautiful character whose knowledge of the area was very complete. We returned to our hotel invigorated and excited by the experience. We recommend the morning time when it's cooler (this week was unseasonably hot). The area is stunningly beautiful and our experience unforgettable.

Atlas Mountain with Mo, James and Flo - Mouad was an incredible guide! We had the most amazing experience, trekking through the mountains and the forest with Mo. We also stopped at a local families home to share mint tea and delicious Tagine! Mo explained everything about his country, his hometown, politics and economy, culture and food, the invasion of France and of course how that changed with Morocco gaining independence. It was also incredibly moving to hear what was lost during the earthquake and heart warming to hear how everyone has come together in the wake of it to support and rebuild their communities. Big thank you again for this amazing experience during our honeymoon!

First Class guide - Our morning hike in the glorious foothills of the Atlas Mountains was both spectacular and humbling. Noureddine is a first class guide he is knowledgeable, courteous and passionate about this beautiful region. Nothing is rushed. He is keen to explore all aspects including the recent devastating earth quake. However, he is transparent and will only expose you to those issues you wish to engage on, and never too far. Thank you so much for introducing us to Berber people, culture and history.

Exceptional! Fantastic 3 hour hike - We did a three hour hike with Mouad and it was incredible - a real highlight of our trip. Mouad is exceptionally knowledgable of the local area (Amizmiz) and answered our barrage of questions in detail. He knew all there was to know about the flora, fauna and the local villages we walked through. The views were stunning, it was a lovely break away from the chaos of Marrakech and gave us the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Moumad was an excellent guide and we would thoroughly recommend

Great day hike with brilliant guide Mouad - We had a great time on our day hike in the Atlas Mountains. Really beautiful views of the mountains and we learned a great deal about the local area and Morroccan history. Mouad was a great storyteller and answered all of our questions. The Berber lunch was also fantastic!
