Full day with a lot of... - Full day with a lot of sights and enjoyable! While the title is misleading (you don’t go to the Agafay Desert at all) you get to see multiple valleys and hike to Imlil Waterfall. We also rode a camel (short 20 minutes away from an encampment and then back in another valley) in traditional clothing. Aziz was a great driver and RJ was a wonderful tour guide consistently offering to take photos and was helpful when one of the women on the tour had a baby with her. There’s a lunch option that cost additional money and there were people selling bracelets at almost each stop. Do this tour if you want to see a different side of Morocco and see how argan oil is made!

Highly recommended! - Everything was as expected. Lahcen was a brilliant guide, Saaid was a fantastic driver and we had a wonderful day. The hike was EXACTLY 90 minutes and not too taxing at all. It was a wonderful day and I’d do it again if we had more time!

Thank you Driss! - We had the privilege of embarking on a guided tour of the breathtaking Atlas Mountains today, and it was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to Driss. From start to finish, Driss provided exceptional hospitality and catering, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully arranged. His warm and attentive nature made us feel truly cared for throughout the journey. Driss's expertise and deep knowledge of the region enriched the experience immensely. He shared fascinating insights into the culture, landscapes, and history of the Atlas Mountains, all while making the tour incredibly engaging. Not only did he go above and beyond to personalise the adventure, but he also helped us capture precious memories by assisting us with photos—his kindness and dedication truly made a difference. If you’re looking for a guide who embodies professionalism, passion, and genuine care for his guests, I wholeheartedly recommend Driss. He transforms a great tour into an extraordinary one, leaving you with lasting memories and gratitude for his impeccable service

Very very worth it - The full day trip was amazing, our tour guide called Redouane was very informative and speaks multiple languages (his English was very good). We started the day getting picked up from our hotel and travelled out to the Atlas Mountains. The excursion included camel rides, breakfast (free) and lunch (a small fee for the best chicken tagine), 3 different valleys, an hour and half hike and pick up/drop off at hotel. We also seen how argan oil and peanut butter was made which can also be bought at their shop too. The full trip was a very good price and my boyfriend and myself would highly recommend! Be sure to bring some cash with you as the lunch doesn’t take card and some shops don’t either

Book now. You won't regret it - Another great trip from TripAdvisor/Viator The pros Great itinerary. Just the right balance of views, visits, walking, camel riding and food/drink Superb value for money. All this for £12.69 each. +70MAD each for lunch Excellent guide. Baha lives in one of the Berber villages and really knows his stuff Great driver. How he drove the minibus with such skill and calmness was amazing. Really nice fellow travellers. We ended up chatting to everyone. Always a bonus on this sort of tour. The cons Only one. The melee outside The Cafe de France at 9am with what seems like 101 minibuses and 1001 tourists. It was tricky finding the correct one. Overall excellent Some tours give you too much camel riding or argan oil production or hiking to waterfalls etc. This was a perfect mix for us

Highly recommend. - I can highly recommend this Excellent driver and a really knowledgeable local called Yalssin. The stops to take photos were great. Walk to waterfalls all good as Yasdine knew short cuts. The lunch was best food so far in Morocco. Local clean and excellent value at70 drms. Locals very friendly. Camel ride was fun and dressing up like Arabs was good too. A real day to remember. Thank you.

Atlas Mountains and Agafay Desert - We ended up having a good time but extremely unprofessional. I reached out to them to confirm my booking and the time and place they would be picking me up. No one responded until the morning of the pick up and that’s because I had to put a complaint in through Instagram TripAdvisor. They pick us up and during the tour at one of the stops they told me this isn’t the tour I booked and if I want to go on the correct tour. It seems they over booked my tour so they put me on a different tour not the Agafay Desert but 7 valleys. After I switched buses the tour guide told me that last minute 7 people canceled so there was room for my correct tour. I booked my tour months ago, this should have been handled correctly. I will no longer be booking through TripAdvisor.
