Visit to the mountains - We had a wonderful day on this experience. Our guide Omar and the driver were both excellent. The visit to the Argan oil cooperative was very educational learning about that and the olive oil press. We did not go on the trek due to an injury but Omar and the driver organised a car to take us to the eco lodge for our lunch. The track has hair raising but we got there. The meal and the company were very good. We would recommend this trip. Omar and the driver were both great.

Best tour in Marrakech - This was hands down the best tour we had in Marrakech. Nezha was the best guide, she explained everything in such an easy way and after a super fun tour they also welcomed in their house to have a wonderful lunch. I highly recommend booking a tour with this incredible family if you want to have a real local experience!!

Hassan- experience mountain atlas - We had a 5 star experience with the tour guide Hassan. The cart went to pick us up at a meeting point very close to our Riad. Arriving at the place where the camels are, they dressed us in the traditional clothes and put the scarf on our heads. Riding a camel was a very good experience, and we still took a lot of photos. Then they gave the tea and a brief explanation about the history and traditions of this people. We went to a female cooperative where we were taught how to make cosmetics and argon products, and they gave us tea and bread with different sauces. We were completely immersed in their culture. We experienced the reality of Moroccan markets and tried various natural products. Finally, we took a walk through the various villages of Mount Atlas. We had lunch at Hassan's aunt's house, where we ate fantastic food. The whole walk had a spectacular view. It was an unforgettable experience, full of moments of learning and fun. Our guide, Hassan, spoke many languages and was very cult about Morocco's culture and history.

Unforgettable, beautiful, incredible - My guide Hassan for the Atlas Mountains was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated to making the experience unforgettable. He shared local history, culture, and hidden details that I never would have discovered on my own. The pace was perfect, the route was stunning, and I always felt safe and well looked after.
If you’re visiting the Atlas Mountains, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Hassan any more. An outstanding guide who turns a beautiful trip into a truly memorable one

A brilliant day out in the Atlas Mountains..camel riding, lunch, learning about the local culture - It was such a fun day out..minibus with 2 other families, one English and one Italian. Hachim the driver and Hassan the guide picked us up at 8.30am. We had lots of fun riding the camels, all dressed up like Berber herders, then seeing a market, having tea, a walk in the Atlas mountains,still snow-capped, then a visit to a women's cooperative, in an amazing Berber house. Lunch was quite the highlight...not just couscous and salad but also chicken tagine, then apple pie. After our walk along narrow paths and meeting the locals going about their business, we were safely returned by our excellent driver.
Hassan the guide was brilliant..funny and witty, very good at English, informative and honest.
This was a super day, top marks!!

Unforgettable day in the Atlas mointains - We went camel riding, drank traditional tea, visted berber houses and villages and had a delicious lunch in a berbed village prepared by the locals. We went to a berber womans cooperative and saw how local cosmetic poducts are made and visited a weekly market. We walked over the snowcapped mountains and learnt about the lives of the people who live there.
The scenerie was beautiful, the cammel riding was fun and the food along the way was amazing.
Hassan, the guide taught us about his culture in a captivating way. His english was exelent and he was very informative and fun to spend the day with.
Hisham, drove the minibus very smoothly making us feel safe.
An unforgetable day!!!
