Excellent authentic trip to the Atlas Mountains - Friendly guide, Mohammed with us. Small group which was great, breakfast Moroccan style and learning how Aragon Oil is made, short walk up the mountain side and a coffee stop by the water, highly recommend the half day trip.

This tour is a lovely... - This tour is a lovely relaxing way to experience part of the Atlas Mountains. Our guide Abdul was very knowledgeable about the area and Moroccan history. He was very kind and made sure we got out of the half day what we wanted to see and do. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Ourika valley - Great day with Abdul yesterday, he was a brilliant guide. We really enjoyed the experience and he allowed us the flexibility to choose our own timetable and stay as long as we wanted at each stop. We got a great insight into the history of Morocco, highly recommend

Relaxing excursion - Perfect for a day when you want to get out of the busy city and relax. Our driver Abdul gave a us a wonderful ride giving us so much history on the Berber and Moroccan culture. He let us take as much time as we wanted at each of the stops. Stops included a cliff side stop for photos at the mountain, a quick mountainside hike, stopping for breakfast at the Argan oil co-op where you learn about how the oil is made, and a riverside spot for drinks. Such a beautiful morning/afternoon in the Atlas Mountains, definitely recommend!

Great guide - The actual trip was okay, nice way to see some of Morocco which is different to Marrakesh. Would of gave the trip 3/4 stars but Abdul made it a 5, very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions! The berker breakfast and argon oil experience was lovely and the lady was very nice.

Value for money and time - I chose a half day tour from Marrakesh to the Atlas Mountains l, the day before. This tour is really good value for money and I was very impressed:
- driver arrived at the exact confirmed time to pick me up
- driver (Marwan) fluent in English, French, Arabic and other local languages, and very knowledgable about the area
- the tour finished at the time is was meant to (ie began and ended on time)
- drive to the mountains was comfortable and fun
- food and tea at the stops was good
I would definitely recommend this tour if you only have half a day.

Relaxing Atlas Mountain Tour - This is a relaxing way to gain a cultural view of Marrakesh & the Atlas Mountains.
I think maybe 1 stop for tea is enough but other than that well organised. Our guide was excellent
