The Berber/Moroccan Experience - We had an awesome day trip. Our tour guide Ibraheem was so, so good. We were picked up on time and straight away he engaged with us and made us feel comfortable. For many of us it was our first time in Morocco. Our first stop was having a short tea break that included enjoying the amazing bread with honey/argon oil and peanut butter/argon oil. We also got to see the argon oil process. Then it was the camel ride!! It was so nice to be out in the open, enjoying sitting on the ‘ship of the desert’ and pondering and reflecting on life!! We were then taken to the Atlas Mountains. What an experience. Ibraheem guided us all the way. Helped us along and provided insight into life as a Berber in the Atlas mountains. We wore trainers which was comfortable enough whilst on the trek, enjoying fresh walnuts. Best part of the trip was the meal. It was the best food we had in Morocco. We enjoyed different types of tajines (including a vegetarian one), copious amounts of bread and salad. Normally food is offered before the trek but we asked whether we could have it after, Ibraheem was very accommodating and as result I feel we were able to enjoy the food more! Feeling very comfortable after our dinner ,and the wonderful experience in the mountains, and our joyous camel ride we had to return back to the hotel which we did around 5:30. I’ve been on many tours etc in many parts of the world but this was one of the best and value for money. P.s the transport was good and he even allowed us to use his data/wifi. What a gent!! Thank you Ibraeem/viatour

Fantastic day out.... - Myself and hubby had an awesome time on this excursion...we were picked up at our hotel by Abdul...and met up with Ahmed our knowledgable Berber tour guide, who was lovely and just bursting to share his culture and the beautiful surroundings with us... We were taken on an awesome camel ride in traditional dress... The highlight of the trip was being taken through Berber villages by foot with super views of the Atlas mountains...Then to top it off we had the most lovely traditional meal prepared by Ahmeds family.... Would recommend this trip to anyone wanting an authentic experience with a great host...

Excellent day out - I can’t recommend this tour enough. We had the best day out with our guide Ibrahim. The day was a perfect combination of activity and relaxation. The lunch in the Berber village was the best meal we’ve had whilst we’ve been in Morocco. You won’t be disappointed with this tour.

Super value, Great tagine & Fab scenery - in this Authentic Moroccan day trip - Had a great day with Ahmed and his good driver, lovely air con minibus, to the camels ( a little too long sat on them though), then the Argon oil cooperative, to see it being extracted- lovely products there, and snacks. Then a walk to the mountains, a visit to the waterfall , tasty orange juice, and a tagine cooked well in A Berber family home. Beautiful Ahmed even returned my book left on the bus - Many thanks

Excellent day trip - Picked up at 8.30 from hostel and then headed to first stop which was light morning mint-tea and pastry then half an hour camel ride and a bit history about berber people from the tour guide Mohamed. He's really good and knowledgeable person. After Camel ride we headed towards atlas mountain where we had a stop on the way for Breakfast for half an hour then next stop hiking for 1 or 2 hour. We had a lunch with beautiful view surrounding mountains. I would highly recommended this tour. Start around 8.30am and back around 6.30pm

Excellent trip with an exceptional guide - Excellent, exceptional- these are not enough to describe how amazing our trip was. It was the best guided trip that I have ever taken in my life. Our guide, Ibrahim is a very good person who took care of us like a family. He took us to his home where his mother made delicious tajine, couscous and served them with Moroccan bread and fresh fruits. We met his family and had a great time at there. We went to a Berber market(it’s only there on Tuesdays) and tried a lot of fresh produce. The camel ride was pretty good as well ( they take good care of the camels there) and the Moroccan tea was refreshing. Coming to the trek, it was very nice and Ibrahim did his best to help us all along the way and made the hike enjoyable. If I come back to Marrakech then definitely I’ll do a trip with Ibrahim again!

Fantastic Day Trip - Our tour guide was great, providing an insightful introduction to Berber culture as well as providing a entertaining tour with lots of phenomenal photo opportunities. The mountain hike through Berber villages was a super way to get in your 10,000 steps. The highlight may have been the wonderful lunch served on a rooftop patio in the Atlas Mountains with the best food we have had in Morocco. Friendly and fun - you can't go wrong.
