A beautiful day. - We were lucky to have Youness as our guide during the visit of the 3 Atlas valleys, near Marrakech. Not only is the van clean and comfortable but Youness is a safe and careful driver. It is above all a guide who knows well the region that he makes you discover and explains it to you. Far beyond that, she is a beautiful person, open to discussion about Berber, Arab and Muslim culture. We had a very pleasant day both geographically and in terms of human values. A beautiful and magical day!

Enriching Agafay Atlas and Desert Experience with Abdul Guide - 2 excursions with the guide Abdul, one in the 3 valleys of the Atlas and the other in the desert Agafay. The Abdul guide provides many explanations about the landscapes, local culture, Moroccan, Berber and Saharan traditions as well as anecdotes. We travelled with great pleasure in his company and highly recommend him.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A perfect day trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains - We booked a private day trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. Our driver and guide, Abdul, picked us up right on time at 9 AM in a comfortable and well-maintained Toyota Land Cruiser. Throughout the day, we made several interesting stops, including local pottery workshops, small artisan shops, and a cooperative run by local women producing authentic argan oil. Everything was very well organized, and we always felt relaxed and unhurried. Abdul clearly knew everyone along the way and introduced us to locals in a warm, genuine manner. The atmosphere in the car was great, we laughed a lot, and the drive felt safe and smooth at all times. When we asked if it was possible to visit one of the waterfalls, Abdul immediately arranged it. He called a local guide named Yassin, who joined us for about an hour-long hike through the hills. Yassin was friendly and attentive, giving us plenty of time to rest during the steeper parts of the climb. The view of the waterfall at the end was absolutely worth it! After the hike, we had lunch in a beautiful riverside restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious three-course traditional Moroccan meal surrounded by stunning scenery. It was the perfect ending to a well-balanced day, combining culture, nature, and relaxation. Everything went flawlessly from start to finish. The guides were professional and kind, the route was beautiful, and the entire experience felt authentic and personal. We highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Marrakech!

Highlight of our vacation - Today we went on an unforgettable journey with Abdul through three Valleys of the Atlas Mountains. He shared his knowledge with us throughout the trip in perfect English, always with a warm smile. Abdul took us to stunning places, including some hidden gems far away from the usual tourist spots. I highly recommend booking the private tour – you’ll get to experience so much more without the crowds. Everything was perfectly organized, from pickup to drop-off. And the Berber lunch was an absolute highlight of the day – delicious food in a beautiful setting.

Great day trip out with our guide Mr Abdul to the Atlas Mountains! - We very much enjoyed our day trip out. We started out around 9am and returned by evening. We visited several spots including markets, cooperatives, rivers and family run restaurant high in the Atlas Mountains. Lovely views, weather was good, sky’s were clear at the time. Our tour guide Mr Abdul was very knowledgeable on the tour and helpful in his explanation and could speak several languages.. He drove safely and helped us negotiate prices for products we wanted to buy in the shops. The transport vehicle was comfortable with air-conditioning.
