Fabulous Atlas Mountains trip - We had an amazing trip to the Atlas Mountains with Lahcen Mansouri as our tour guide. As a local to the village we visited he gave us a real insight into the Berber culture and way of life. The walk to the waterfall was very picturesque, ending with a delicious lunch at a restaurant with spectacular views of the valley and mountains. Great value, would recommend!

Great Experience with a Wonderful Guide - What an unforgettable experience.Our guide was amazing, super knowledgeable and full of great stories about the places we visited. This trip was more than just hiking and sightseeing; it was a deep dive into the rich Amazigh culture and history. We had an incredible time and can’t recommend this tour enough! Thanks Omer!

Fun day out with beautiful views of the mountains - We both enjoyed this day out, I was initially frustrated as the Viator app asked me for my hotel leading me to think we'd be picked up from there however it turns out most were collected at a meeting point in the medina if you are not based centrally. The bus was comfy, water was provided. The camel ride was fun short interlude in the journey to the mountains, lots of photo opportunity.
The Argan Oil stop was a great way to see how locals are being helped by the cooperatives and also provided fun, a snack to be able to taste the oil, nutella dips they can produce as well as beauty products. The walk was relaxing for us as we're used to hikes to waterfalls in UK so we were used to the hill, it's not overly strenuous to walk. The only downside is the bombardment of sellers around the waterfall which doesn't allow you to sit and enjoy the surroundings in peace.
Lunch provided was really tasty accompanied with a beautiful view of the village in the valley surrounded by mountains was the relaxing part away from crowds and sellers. The trip started at 8.30 and we returned by 6pm all in all a fun way to get out of the centre and mingle with other tourists.

Fantastic tour - I can't say enough about our tour guide Mustafa. Mustafa went out of his way to assist me with my concerns and issues and made our trip a memorable one. I unfortunately could not make the hike up the mountain and Mustafa made arrangements to have a taxi drive my hubby and a I up to his family's residence to meet the rest of the group who did make the hike. The gathering during lunch and the meal was great. The camel ride is a once in a lifetime event, a must do! Thank you Mustafa for your and your family hospitality and all that you did for me.

With the family - Helpful guide! Very affordable tour with many nice activities. Our 11-year-old was also pleased. The hike was a bit tougher in the heat than we were prepared for, but it still went well.

Great visit to mountain village, mustafa is a top guide - Mustafa tells many beautiful stories. The mountain village and the walk are definitely worth it. The camel ride was told: “it looks nice in pictures, but in real life it is terrible”. I totally agree, you're riding a camel on a sandy plain along the highway. The rest of the day is highly recommended. Lunch at Mustafa's family's house is great. Really a very good guide who tells a lot of interesting things about Berber culture. For the walk you need to be fit.

A little hidden gem. - This was def a little different, a short camel ride dressed in traditional wear which was great fun. A visit to a cooperative then to the mountains. Lunch was amazing best tasting food compared to the restaurants. our tour guide was very very helpful and knowledgeable 100%, very good at his job. The hike, through the Village and to waterfalls so glad we did it. Took you off the beaten path. At the waterfall had the best coffee and great orange juice from those kids. Def make sure you grab a cup. Would highly recommend this tour. Offered so much value compared to other similar trips.

An exciting and educational tour of the Atlas range - This tour exceeded my expectations. From the camel ride, in which we were provided with the clothing of the Berbers, to the patience of the operators, it was all great. The tour guide, Omar, was well educated and provided great detail when we were in the mountains on our walks. From religion to schools to the earthquake, we all learned a great deal of good information. The food and tea breaks were wonderful. i was surprised to experience the level of accommodation and food we had in the mountains. It was impressive to receive the level of service and food at the restaurant in the mountains. And finally, there was a slight delay at the meeting point. I left and returned to my Riad, and the manager called the guide, Omar, and had him wait a few minutes for my return. Then, she had her staff rush me (3 minutes ) on his scooter to meet the van, and all was good for the rest of the day. Truly an exciting day in Marrakech.

A good experience - We spent an unforgettable day with our guide Jawad Mazik.
The walk to the waterfalls was beautiful, with breathtaking scenery. Jawad also introduced us to the Berber villages, sharing their history and traditions with us with passion.
We ended the tour with a typical meal, excellent and prepared with great care. Throughout the day, Jawad was attentive, caring and very friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Jawad to anyone who wants to discover the area in an authentic and friendly way. Thank you again for this beautiful moment!
