Fabulous excursion with Atlas excursion tours. - The whole of this excursion was booked at a desk in the reception area of Be Live adults only hotel. Amazing excursion with an abundance of opportunities on route to enjoy and photograph the breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains and its valleys . Our excursion began at 9am which gave us plenty of time to have breakfast before we left.
We stopped at various places during the morning, when our excellent driver/ guide explained the culture of the area and the working lives of the people living there. We visited a fascinating women's cooperative, where the Argon nut is transformed into various beauty and health products.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a restaurant below the town of Sti Fadma after which, with the aid of another guide, we began our journey on foot to towards the cascades.
We returned to the restaurant some time later, to rejoin our driver for the return trip to our hotel. Our excursion took up the whole day and our guides were outstanding. We'll worth taking part in.

A truly wonderful Morrocan Experience - This trip was totally amazing. I went with 2 friends and we decided to pay the small amount extra each for a private driver rather than go on the bus tour. We are so so glad we did. Our driver was really helpful and full of interesting information - his English was very good. We loved meeting local people and discovering their way of life and skills. Everyone was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The walk up the mountain to see the waterfall was beautiful, our guide, a 19 year old local man who is studying English at University, was so proud of his heritage he taught us so much. The lunch was the most delicious tagine by the bank of the River in truly unique morrocan surroundings. I would definatly recommend this trip. My friends and I agreed' It's one of the best trips we have ever been on.

Loved our daytrip to Atlas Mountains - Really kind guides and driver who were all very informative. Enjoyed our tagine at a local Berber village with a beautiful view, waterfall walk not too tricky either, but guide did ask the group wait for those who found the walk difficult. Fun dressing up, bring water!

A great day out. - A very full and enjoyable day out into the mountains and desert south of the city of Marrakesh. A decent guided walk up to the waterfalls followed by an excellent lunch in Imlil. Then down to the desert and a short camel ride followed by delicious tea. Incredible value for money, well worth doing.

Absolutely amazing! - Everything was great from pickup to dropoff! Mehdi, our driver, drove carefully and told us about the nice places we saw along the way. Mustapha, the organisor, was always responsive and clear with all instructions. Hossain, our guide for the hike was patient and introduced us to life in the Berber village of Imlil before our delicious meal with a very sweet family. Finally, the ladies at the coorperative and the guys for the camel ride spoke perfect English and welcomed us so warmly ♥ I am quite sceptic about organised trips but this one was simply wonderful. And of course the landscape all along is breathtaking!

Good daytrip - with great camel riding experiance. - Good day trip, with an visit to Atlas mountains and valleys. The guide takes you to his village and you know he knows the place inside out. The guide was a sweet, polite and helpful guy, the driver was really reliable as well.
Unfortunately the guide was a bit passive for me, and did not give too much explanation unless asked. It would be great for someone who just want to be there experience it and take pictures.
The trip starts off with picking everyone up, a stop at a scenic place where you can see a typical Berber village (the stop is right next to a souvenir shop – and because he did not explain why we are stopping there, half of the group just went into the shop and did not hear the explanation of the village). Next stop is a cooperative run by women, you get served bread with olive oil, honey and Berber nutella, and then see how Argan oil is made, you can even get to experience the using mortar. Followed by a thorough explanation of products they sell and opportunity to buy. You then travel through the beautiful valleys, and reach the guide’s village. He takes you for a hike up side of a hill, which gets you to a waterfall, and then to a restaurant with a beautiful scenery where you have lunch. After this drive towards the desert, and experience camel riding dressed up. The staff at the camel riding was very helpful and friendly, and made sure you are safe.
All in all, given the price of the tour, this trip is worth all the money.

Long wait. - Our driver was supposed to pick us up at our hotel at 8.30. By 10.00 still no show. Eventually at 10.50 a private driver was sent who took us on the tour. I cannot fault him. He was friendly and professional. Unfortunately due to the late pick up we could not visit all of the places planned however the company refunded us half of the money back. I was in contact with 2 people from the company. The first man told us that we were not there for the pick up. Totally untrue. The second man sent us a photo of his broken down vehicle explaining that was why he didn't show up.
Despite the fact that we were initially lied to , it turned out alright due to the second man's integrity.
