Atlas day trip and lunch - Extra smile tours - Thank you Ibrahim and your team of colleagues 🫶( our hill guides on Sunday) , Amazing True experience, highly recommend. Easy to book and arrange from the start and informative throughout. We really learnt a lot about this area of Morocco, culture and lovely people. Felt very personal, safe and tailored for a small group on our mini bus.
Just need to bring sturdy footwear, drinks and be fairly fit the climb and navigate rocks, stones and at times heights that you are close to edges. Guides are excellent kind and attentive. Plenty of pauses and rest points, can go at own pace too. Berber people are so friendly and proud of their heritage. Views are stunning. Is a cooler temperature than city and in just under 1 hours drive, you are far away from the city , where you feel more relaxed, from the hustle of Marrakesh, as your trip climbs up into the hills.

Small hike - Beautiful scenery, accessible hiking, local guide , Ahmed Mechkor and driver Abderzak was very kind and speaks passionately about their area.
The only downside is, as everywhere else, the number of tourists - like us and perhaps the restaurant chosen, less beautiful than those further upstream

Excellent!!! - Many thanks to Ahmed for making us have a great time. He came with Rachid the driver to pick us up from the hotel. Ahmed advised us well and we were able to exchange. He answered our questions and gave us valuable tips for visiting other places in Morocco. He knows his subject and provides explanations on the sites visited. Thanks also to Rachid the driver for his patience and kindness 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I recommend Ahmed as a guide!
Thank you, thank you and thank you!

If you’re visiting Marrakech, this is an absolute must do. The scenery was simply breathtaking and our host, Mounir, looked after us very well. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the history and culture of the valley. Thanks to Mounir’s hospitality and expertise, we had an amazing and memorable day. Highly recommended!

Perfect experience! - Views incredible. Your guide given up the mountain as well as Houssain from Extra Smiles and driver so friendly and helpful, nothing too much. Despite what some reviews said the food was so nice and such a good experience on the water. There was a small child on one of the families and they were so good towards her as well as providing a backpack to carry her in up. Some parts challenging but as an asthmatic nothing horrendous didn’t even need inhaler. Lovely people, lovely day and prefect driving experience as well as pick up.

Reaching the top of Marrakech is worthwhile! - It was a great experience not to be missed. Get prepared to climb a lot but on the other hand the views are awesome and breathtaking. Yassmine was a very nice guide always with a smiling face and attentive attitude.
