Atlas Mountain visit - My partner and I took a day trip to the Atlas Mountains. We were collected by the representative of the Excursion, Mohammed. It was a very pleasant drive when we arrived at the destination we all got off the minibus and was met by our guide, Abdul who took us all for lunch in a Family home. The lunch (3 course) was delicious, we then walked down to the waterfall and Abdul was very good at explaining what we were seeing. I would highly recommend the Excursion and Abdul who was a brilliant guide. Looking forward to our next visit in the not distant future.

Impossible walk!! - I recommend this experience, from transportation to snack in the morning at the cooperative, lunch in the village. Very good. The highlight was undoubtedly the mountain walk. The guide Hassan was amazing, as it is local, gave a lot of information and knew how to answer all the questions of the group. 5 stars!

Abdul - a fantastic guide for the Atlas Mountains - We had a fantastic experience with our guide, Abdul. He brought us from Imlil to Armed, and the journey was unforgettable—filled with breathtaking views of Mount Toubkal and the surrounding valleys. Abdul’s knowledge of the region is exceptional. He shared stories about the villages, the people, and local customs in a way that made the landscape come alive. His insights helped us appreciate not just the beauty of the area, but also its culture and history. On top of that, Abdul was kind, patient, and attentive throughout the entire trip. We always felt well looked after and genuinely welcomed. The lunch with the family in the village was amazing too. I can’t recommend Abdul highly enough for anyone looking to explore the Atlas Mountains with someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about his home. A wonderful guide and an unforgettable experience!

Lovely hike with fab views, a chance to meet Hassan, a great guide, and enjoy food and hospitality from a local family - We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Pick-up was on time and it was a lovely drive to the first stop which was to a women’s cooperative. We did a few of these on various trips on this holiday but this was our preferred visit. A cosy but a good setup. Then on to Imlil where we met Hassan, our guide for the walk. Hassan was a local and he was great. Very informative, friendly and nice to see how well he interacted with the families we met during the walk. The hike involved an initial steep climb, which involved a bit of scrambling, and then the gradient levelled off. Fabulous views throughout, well worth the climb. Hassan was mindful of all levels of fitness and ensured all in the group were comfortable throughout the hike. The local family which hosted our lunch were lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. Clean facilities and the food was delicious; soup, tagine and bread. Then onto the Waterfall which was a nice walk after lunch, and then back for our return journey.

Lovely Mountain Trek! - I really recommend this trip! As an experienced hiker, I was worried that this trek wouldn’t be challenging enough for me. After a fun day with beautiful views throughout the 6 mile trail, I can confidently say that this day was a highlight of my time in Morocco. The guides were friendly, the food was delicious, and Imlil is a gem that ought to be explored.

VIEWS WORTHY OF A KING - I booked this experience several days in advance and it turned out to be one of the best days of my trip. They picked me up at a school near my hostel and once we got to Imlil, our guide showed us the path to climb to the closest views to the snowy peak. He always made sure no one was left behind. The way of life and being of the locals, calm and hardworking, reminded me of my Galician land. Thank you Abdul & Mohammed for your kindness 🫖☕️😊😃
