Decent lunch and nice... - Decent lunch and nice walk through the valley till we reach the waterfall. Camel ride was cool with dressing up also. Redouane was a really good guide on the trip.

Excellent value for money - This trip was a fantastic experience for our entire family, from the youngest to the adults! We all thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities, the breathtaking views, and the delicious food. A huge thank you to Ridouane, our tour guide, for making it such a pleasant and truly wonderful experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm really enhanced our trip. And of course, we must also thank the driver for the comfortable and smooth rides to and from the Atlas Mountains and through the valleys.

Amazing! - If I could give more stars I would. This was one of the best tours we've ever been on. 8 adults on holiday (friends).
Redouane and Mohamed were brilliant guides, and made the trip extremely personal. Picked up on time, and communication was brilliant on the day, and in advance.
Camels were very clean and well looked after, and the guides were brilliant, we have some amazing pictures!
Argan oil cooperative for breakfast was amazing, and lovely staff, and made it very personal.
Redouane's family are lovely, and made us feel very at home.
The walk was a very well paced, a few steps and the Redouane was extremely patient, very knowledgeable about the area. And the walnuts were divine!
A brilliant experience, and would highly recommend.

Great Experience - Our pick up from our accommodation was efficient. It was a great way to see 3 places in one day. We started off with camel riding for 20mins. The desert wasn’t particularly amazing but it was a great way to experience camel riding as it was our first time. The view of the Atlas mountains during our drive was amazing, we stopped at one point to take photos and continued with the drive passing through towns. We then headed to the waterfall where we had to hike for just over an hour (return) which can be steep and a bit of hard work if you’re not prepared, otherwise it’s doable. We were glad to experience the camel ride and see the beautiful Atlas mountains, and pass through towns and find out a bit of history about them. Our tour guide Redouane and Aziz were a great company throughout the tour, and would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent - Everything was perfect but especially our guide (Mohamed Larbi) and our driver (Adil). A big thank you to you. Mohamed insisted on helping us with our three children. It was really a PLUS. I very highly recommend Mohamed Larbi and his driver Adil. Above all, we appreciated the quality of the individualized service of our guide as well as his professionalism. Very intentional and knows his job perfectly. He shared with us his passion for his profession and his love of this region that he knows like the back of his hand. Once again thank you, meeting you will remain in our memories for my family and me. Allah y7fhadkom!!!

We went to the Agafay desert, did camel ride there and had nice cup of tea.
We continued up to the mountains where we stopped after a while to take pictures and continued up in the mountain.
We visited argan oil manufacture, had nice breakfast (the one included in the price) and continued to the top.
Hiked a little bit through berber villages to get to the top and the best restaurant where we had lunch. Tagine was amazing and the view stunning.
The day was coming to an end, so we set in the minivan and headed back to the city.
We stopped one more time at picturesque spot for sunset and few selfies.
Special thanks to Lahcen!💎
Throughout this whole trip, he kept us well informed, entertained and we felt like we were in good hands. Well done Lah👌

Terrible - I double confirmed that this is a VIP TOUR, exclusive with NO OTHER person but my team only. However, when local driver showed up, there were THREE PEOPLE on our van already, And the tour guide denied that I booked VIP tours. I chatted with Viator rep online and double confirmed again. But still, these three ladies came along. They were taken care of by the tour guide very well. DISAPPOINTING INDEED.
