We then continue our journey across the High Atlas mountains, feasting our eyes on the blend of vibrantly colored fields with the mountains’ reddish-brown. A midday meal has been arranged at the Berber House, a tranquil traditional abode with locals. After a genuine feast of a delightful Berber Tajine and mint tea, we head back to Marrakech.

We had a great time. - Went out with Abdul today. It was a very nice day with a great lunch. Walked a bit more and enjoyed the view. Abdul is a nice, very attentive guide. He knows a lot and tells fascinating stories. Recommended! We enjoyed this day.

Highly recommend! - From the moment I booked, this company showed great communication and gave clear instructions for a smooth pick-up.
We had a great day with our guide Abdullah. Not only is he a genuinely kind person, it's also clear that he cares about supporting the Amazigh (Berber) communities. We were provided a lot of information right from the beginning. We also had a phenomenal meal with a stunning view (quite possibly the best Moroccan salad you'll ever have).
It was a well needed break from the Marrakech chaos.

The Experience was great - The Berber lunch was the greatest food we had in Morocco, and we had a great day touring some of the Atlas Mountain regions. As a great way to explore more of the city, I heartily suggest this tour.

Thick Duum - Our guide, Abdoul, was the ideal man for this trip! He spoke both English and French and has incredible knowledge of the region. An ideal travel guide for a nice trip not far from the city of Marrakesh. Thank you Abdoul for this unforgettable day!

Exceeded our expectations - We picked this tour to give us a feel for other aspects of Morocco during our short stay in Marrakech - it really delivered. we booked a small group tour and got lucky, we were the only booking so in effect it was a personal tour. Khalid, our guide from Promythic Tours, was brilliant. As well as being a great guide he was also a very nice person and great to spend the day with. The 5 valleys tour gave us so much, a view of life in the mountains, it's harshness and it's beauty. The Trek was given an extra dimension by periods of heavy rain, looking back it made it much more interesting, the rivers gushing from the rain and the snow higher up in the higher Atlas mountains. The vehicle was comfy but the biggest suprise was the quality of the Berber lunch, it was wonderful, as was the hospitality. Friendliness all around, a great experience.

Fab trip across the 5 valleys! - We had a brilliant trip across the 5 valleys with our great guide Tarek. We saw some beautiful sights and had wonderful food on our trip. The views were beautiful and Tarek was especially helpful in making sure we were well looked after. A fantastic experience that you won’t want to miss!

Would recommend! - We visited the Ourika valley with our driver Khalid. During our travel to the valley we made a few interesting stops. Our driver Khalid was very friendly, answered all our questions and gave us more information about Marrakesh and Berbers. Since it was just us we could also stop whenever we wanted to take pictures etc. The walk in the valley was beautiful. We had a great day!

A must in Marrakech - We were fortunate to have a private tour with Khalid who was very friendly knowledgeable about the Atlas Mountains and the Berber way of life. We really enjoyed the hike to the Ourika waterfalls but please note; the route is very steep and uneven and rocky so it’s a challenge but well worth it! Good non-slip walking shoes are essential. The local guide for the walk was also lovely and very helpful in ensuring that we made the hike safely. A wonderful day out for us both. Thanks Khalid!
