Top knotch - Our guide was lovely. He took us camel riding, to an argan oil collective, up to a water fall and finally on up to his family home at the foot of mount toubkal. The food was amazing and included. The whole experience was great value. Note that the walking is not quite as hardcore as the photo suggests (of the hikers with all their gear on).

One word: AMAZING - Seriously, if you're thinking about whether to buy this trip or not. DO IT. It was worth every penny. You will not regret it. Abdul was simply wonderful. He was kind, funny and knowledgeable. The views are spectacular, you get to meet and support the locals. You will have lunch provided by a family in Imlil and the view from there was incredible. Do IT!

Atlas Mountains - Can’t even begin to describe how beautiful the Atlas Mountains are. This trip is well worth doing if you have a day spare in Marrakech. The company is ultra professional and looked after us all really well. The guides were friendly and funny and we had such a good day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and book again with Atlas Vertical.

Pleasant hiking through the atlas - Our guide, Mohammed, was happy to answer our questions about the atlas, the villages of the valley and the berber communities and provided us with some facts about the region. The hike was incredible and we passed by some beautiful landscapes. The lunch was served in a local inn and was delicious. We left with the sensation of wanting to come back! Thank you Mohammed

Not Suggestable - The hike through picturesque villages is non-existent. No places to stop and see the vistas. Bad food and zero worth of services . Complete waste of money.
I would not recommend anyone to do this
