Wow!! A Must Do Tour!! - What a great excursion from Marrakech! It was interesting to see how Argan oil is made and learning about the tree. Its roots that draw water from more than 30 metres underground. Known as the “Tree of Life” to the Berbers for the many health benefits it brings. it only grows in southwestern Morocco. Argan is perfectly adapted to the region's harsh environment, with the ability to survive extreme heat (over 50 °C), drought and poor soil. And then escaping the hecticness of Marrakech and enjoyed a day at beach in Essaouira. We had a wonderful beachside lunch at the Fanatic Restaurant. Freshest of fish - you pick which one you want from a tray or try the lobster! The town is so quaint. We wish we had stayed here for a few days. If I had the trip to plan all over again, I would definitely done this. The Medina is peaceful unlike Marrakech. You can stroll and shop without motorbikes buzzing through. The beach would have been so nice to enjoy. There are plenty of loungers and umbrellas to rent and enjoy the ocean breeze. Two of the things that made this trip so enjoyable was our wonderful driver, Abdellatif, who adjust schedules to accommodate us and was a super safe driver. And Youness, our tour guide in Essaouira. He is the best guide we’ve had in Morocco.

VERY INTERESTING - Unique experience. The walls are spectacular and are in perfect condition. The port is a must-see although not suitable for all stomachs.

A Travel Agency that will never disappoint you really!! - Finally and after the terrible Covid-19 nightmare here we are back to Morocco, so this is our second time booking with Atlas Excursion after few years back and this is one of our best trips ever, we've been traveling for more than fifty years! Because we've slowed down a bit, we asked them at Atlas Excursion to take that into account in planning our itinerary. Corresponding with them was a pleasure and an education. It worked out perfectly for us; just the right balance between sight-seeing and resting in our beautiful hotels and Riads. We went to the Atlas Mountains, Agafay Desert, Rabat, Chefchouen, Fez, Meknes, Casablanca, Marrakech and Essaouira. There was just the right amount of time for each of these wonderful cities. Our driver, Mouaad, anticipated our every need, he was so friendly, always on time, he speaks numerous languages fluently and perfectly and he was very knowledgeable about Morocco’s history as well as all the local guides who took us around, treated us like a family so he became a personal friend over the entire tour. Our transportation vehicle was a luxurious Mercedes van, so comfortable, and when it comes to accommodations, restaurant suggestions, fascinating crafts, local sight-seeing guides all exceeded our expectations. It couldn't have been a better experience! This is a Travel agency where you can book with eyes closed, if you ask me. Thank you very much

Relaxing trip - It was really nice trip - the city is calm, relaxing, full of art and small cafes, looks like "European" city (escape from the noise of Marrakesh at least). We especially appreciated our drivers' Ahmed patience, friendliness and kindness. Highly recommended for those who are staying near by.
