Excellent value for money - What an amazing trip from start to finish.
We were greeted by our driver Hussein, who was great from start to finish.
We stopped at various points for photos on the way to the argon cooperation. We met the ladies and had a brief on how the oil is made and had a lovely breakfast sampling the different types of dips made from the oil. This was a real treat.
Next top we met our guide Mohammed who led us to the waterfall. My mum struggled with her mobility and he changed the route to make it more manageable to cater for her. We were lucky as we were the only ones in the group on that day.
He was amazing, such a gentle man, checking in and having rest stops. He was very knowledable and talked about his village and surrounding villages which we also got to see on our route.
Lunch was one of the best we had and they also cater If you are vegetarian
Hussein was always ready and waiting for us for our next stop the camel ride and then back to the city
We would definitely recommend this trip, full stars

Atlas mountains and Agafay desert day tour with camel ride - We were picked up on time from our hotel by Naam Al-Hussein, who was our driver for the day. He took good care of us. We were driven to the village of Imlil in the Atlas mountains. We stopped a couple of times for a photo opportunity and to visit a Berber cooperative where Argan oil is made by a close knit community of women who work together. Our guide, Mohamed, met us in Imlil, and led us on a hike to Imlil Cascade/waterfall and on the hike we had great views of the Atlas Mountains. The waterfall at the end provided a serene spot to relax and take in the natural surroundings. After our hike we enjoyed a delicious 3 course lunch which included your choice of a traditional tagine on a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the valley and surrounding mountain village.
We were driven to the Agafay Desert for a memorable camel ride. My wife was delighted to learn the names of the camels. The drive through Berber villages, rugged desert landscapes and lush scenery of the mountains, showcased the diverse beauty of Morocco, but I was saddened to see some of the damage caused by the earthquake.
Overall, it was a day which will remain in my memory and the price of this activity cannot match the unforgettable experience my wife and I enjoyed.

Wonderful Agafey experience - A very well coordinated activity with really nothing to fault. Our driver Hossayn arrived on time for the hotel pickup which was impressive. The journey was enjoyable and the mountain hike was labourous or me after the water fall due to poor preparation with inappropriate foot wear but I was determined to complete the 2000 KM hike to the top of the mountain with great assistance from our lovely tour guide Lasim. The lunch was amazing with great host and cook and Lasim helping out again with serving the meal. The camel ride was really enjoyable (did it with my 13 Yr old daughter) who also had a great time. Hosaayn was again very helpful in dressing us up and standing by to reassure us getting on the camels. The guys at the camel centre were super supportive and even took photos for everyone who had their phones on them. Overall a wonderful experience made possible by the efforts of Hosaayn, Lasim and all the guys involved. Going back to the hotel was bit delayed but Hossayn made it as stress free as he could possibly do maneuvering the traffic bless him. A highly recommended experience. Thank you Lasim and Hossyn. Hope to be back again with my friends soon.

Great day trip, highly recommend - Fantastic day trip with Houssain. Highlights were the walk to the waterfall, a really delicious lunch in a neighbouring village and the camel ride. Houssain and the driver were both really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

A lot seen and done in 1 day. - A lot seen and done in 1 day. To visit the waterfall and see the Berber villages, a big climb had to be undertaken and over shaky wooden primitive bridges to be walked. Not accessible for everyone, which was described in the trip description. The local guide was very helpful. Unfortunately little of the berber life seen and heard from this local guide. The guide also barely spoke English. Our driver told us a few things later. Passing all kinds of cozy stalls with merchandise walked along the route. Then had a delicious lunch on a roof terrace with beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains. Then a short ride on a camel in the desert. Because my group had merged with another group that had booked an extra activity, we were in a lot of hurry along the way. All in all had a nice day, seen a lot, although it was sometimes different than expected.

An ideal day with contrast of mountains and desert - Three young friends went to spend the day without many expectations and we had one of the best days in Morocco. Jamal, our guide, has helped us at all times. We have also really enjoyed the local guide we have had in the Atlas Mountains. Highly recommended.

Excellent value for money and great day out! - What excellent value for money and a great day out! For only £22.50 myself and two friends booked a day out to the Atlas Mountains and camel ride. At 9am (although I booked 8am) we were picked up by Salah in a SUV and driven to the Atlas Mountains (just us!) Salah entertained us with his music and singing! We stopped off at a view point and again at a Co-operative to buy Argon oil. It was sad to see the devastation after the earthquake. We then reached the mountains and met Mohamed Larbi who was our guide for the short hike to the waterfall and through the Berber Village. He was very patient and good with English. He took us to a restaurant for lunch where we sat on the terrace overlooking the mountains and enjoyed a delicious chicken tagine! All included in the price! It was then the drive back, stopping off to ride camels which was fun (but a bit scary as so high!) All in all a great day out and brilliant value for money!

This trip was a great... - This trip was a great experience and the atlas mountains was amazing to see, the views the food and the guide Larbi was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The driver was on time and also gave go knowledge of the area as we drove around.
The camel ride was a bit disappointing, it was a quick 20 mins round a rough track and back. The guys weren't really interested in talking to you and mostly were looking at their phones, the camels were friendly enough though.
Overall good trip, especially seeing the atlas mountains.
