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.

Favorite experience in Morocco - Booked a last minute 3-day Atlas Mountains trek not knowing what to expect. Ended up being my most memorable activity in Morocco! My 3-day trek had a mix of 2-and-3 day tours. We were a small group of 7 and then 3 for the final 24 hours. Our guide Marwan was wonderful: attentive, considerate, accommodating to everyone's different pace and friendly. He led us on a 50 km hike up and over mountain passes. Mohammed was our group's talented cook who would hike in front with the mule and our bags and have a fresh, warm meal awaiting us. I can't describe how lovely it was to drink hot mint tea and eat warm, healthy tagine in the middle of a gorgeous mountain range! Very basic accommodation, but there was hot water in both locations. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring warm layers as it's very cold at night (you are provided plenty of blankets!). If you enjoy hiking, want to see the wonders of the Atlas range and are craving a break from the hustle and bustle of Morocco's main cities - HIGHLY recommend this tour. And try to get in Marwan's group :)

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.

Mixed feelings - We booked the 3 days trek. The first two days we hiked to the neighboring valley which was amazing. The landscapes were beautiful and our guide Mohammed was happy to share his knowledge. On the evening of the second day we returned to imlil and the third day consisted of the visit of the waterfall (very touristy). The hikes are quite short with lots of breaks (total distance 33km and total elevation gain 1650m) There were no mules so you will have to carry your own luggage. This seemed to apply to all clients. The food was generally really good except the first lunch which was disgusting. For lunch they charged 70 dirhams per person. We really enjoyed the first two days of the trek but overall felt a bit cheated.

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.
