Amazing trip - Great experience. We started the trip with a group of people who booked a day tour around touristic attractions. I'm not sure if there was a mistake but we might have gotten in the wrong car by accident. Our tour operator Redouane (Red Oun) quickly and smoothly fixed this and we got dropped at Imlil where there was a guide waiting for us. Our guide Abde was a very nice man with a lot of knowledge about the area. We could choose whatever we wanted to see and he showed us around. The guesthouse where we were sleeping provided us with a good breakfast and delicious Maroccan diners every time again. I would definately recommend this trip to any sportive person/couple. We will come back to climb the Toubkal next year!

A great trekking experience in beautiful surroundings - Had an excellent time trekking through the beautiful Atlas Mountains with Mohamed Bowajamor. The communication and assistance from Ahmed at the travel company was also great.

Awesome Atlas Mountains experience - Our trip trekking the Atlas Mountains was incredible. We had a guide to ourselves (Mohamed) and he was so kind, knowledgeable and generous. He set a great pace for us to follow and showed us a true Berber experience. The roads we stayed in exceeded our expectations as well as their hospitality. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of the world.

Great hike, questionable organisation - This was an excellent tour for those who like moderate to slightly difficulty hiking. I'll get the one or two negatives out of the way first: The tour company was very bad with maintaining any contact. I tried contacting them twice to arrange pick-up, but they didn’t respond. The evening before the tour, I had to go directly to their website, get their mobile number and then WhatsApp them. I got the distinct impression that they forgot about me entirely. Regardless, they made arrangements to pick me up, which worked out well. However, the arrangements were that I was picked up by a driver whose bus was full of non-English speaking people going on a completely different tour and I was the only one going on my tour. I had no problem with this at all of course, but it just confirmed for me that they had forgotten about me. In fairness, I admired their ability to improvise! On arrival, I had to wait for my guide for about an hour (I have an image of my guide sitting down to a cup of tea and then getting a knock on his door with someone saying 'we have a fella who booked a three-day hike and we forgot about him…get your boots, now!) Anyway, once we put one foot in front of the other, we were good! My guide, Muhammed, was a very pleasant person to hike with. Knowledgable about the entire area and full of information (although not very chatty, so you were only getting info if you asked for it). In keeping with the theme of having been forgotten about, Mohammed told me that the tour usually has around 15 people on it, however, in this tour it was just me (I’m not complaining, I just find it funny 😅) There were other hikers I met along the way - a young family from Belgium, another from England, a couple of English guys and an Italian couple who I hiked with for a while. All very nice people to hit the trail with. Days 1 & 2 were decent 4-5 hour hikes. Day 3 was very nice, but not as strenuous and then also dove-tailed at the end with the more tourist elements, but that was fine and a nice way to end the trip. The accommodation for each night was great too. The village where the tour company was based was very busy as it was a tourist hub - not a big place, but a nice bit of life around it considering that it’s in the middle of the Atlas Mountains. The meal at the end and organisation for getting me back to Marrakech was also very good. All in all, I highly recommend this tour. The tour company could put a bit more work into their organisational skills, but it all worked out well and Mohammed was an excellent guide to spend three days with.

Morocco is Morocco - It was hard to contact the guide , the day when we are going to hike, guide finally told us the meeting point location in the morning. Surprisingly we also had lunch , that we don't have to pay. Overall with guide and other people was pretty good, but as the Viator’s 3 days trekking program of day wasn’t exactly as the guide does

We would suggest this... - We would suggest this tour, because the landscape is very beautifull. Also our guide Abraham was very nice and we had a lot of fun with him. But the lunch, that we have to pay seperate was very expensive and wasn't wprth the money. Half the price would already be enough.

Targa Travel - It Might Have Been Wonderful, We Shall Never Know - We booked this trip for the 2nd part of our week in Marrakech after doing a lot of research. We wanted some time out of the bustle of the city and love hill walking as a family and wanted to see a different side of the area and this sounded the perfect trip, well reviewed on this tour and as an operator. I booked a couple of months in advance and then contacted the operator by email a couple of weeks before to finalise arrangements including kit we would need, pick up point advice. The name of the operator is opaque - but I booked through this link on TripAdvisor and the confirmation details were for Targa Travel & Trekkinginmorocco. Basically I had no response to emails, WhatsAap message or calls from the info on their website. Given it was a 3 day hiking trip - we had no info on what we needed - and we had no alternative or back up accommodation for the end of our trip - I took the sad decision to cancel for a full refund offered through the trip advisor booking system early in our week in Marrakesh. We were so disappointed not to take the trip. We were looking forward to it greatly. We had not wanted to spend the full week in the city and ended up having to book last minute alternative accommodation which was not great, in the new city. It was a poor end to a great week. Whilst I received a full refund, i also messed with other bookings meaning I lost £40. There are no recent reviews for the trip itself but many for the operator which given they are still accepting booking means presumably they are still in operation. If you don’t run the trip any more just confirm and I could have made alternative plans. Otherwise you really need to up your communication. I also booked a Riad, cooking classes and bike tours before travelling to Marrakesh and the communication in respect of all, through Whatsapp and email was quick and clear. Poor.
