The tranquility of the beautiful Atlas mountains and splendour of the dessert - This was a fantastic trip from beginning to end, we booked with Viator and were picked up from our hotel by Mohammed a friendly tour guide that had excellent historical knowledge of the Atlas Mountains and surrounding villages. This was a full day tour that covered a visit to a women’s Argan oil cooperative, Atlas mountain tour, hike to water fall, (or drive) further into mountains, lunch at a splendid Riad, a camel ride at a camel centre, which was well maintained and the Camels were fabulous!

Fun day out for the family - Our driver, Mustafa, was very attentive, informative and the safest driver I've come across in Morocco! Plenty of photo opportunities with either Mustafa or the walking guide. Tasty food at a rooftop restaurant and fun camel ride! Would really recommend this trip

Super - We had a great day and we enjoyed it so much. The views, sunset, delicious food, too many to mention, you simply have to book this tour. Our driver/guide Hassan Baghmad can tell you a lot about the region. Hassan is reliable, honest and pleasant, so ask for Hassan.

Value for money - Excellent value for money. The lunch wasn't included (it cost us 65dh each but was very substantial) and none of our group wanted to do the camel ride which they weren't super happy about, but our driver and guide were excellent and we had a great day

The desert and mountains... - The desert and mountains were beautiful. Food amazing on a terrace overlooking the valley. Breakfast at the cooperative was also delicious and a great experience. Lovely people and I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting marrakech as a lovely way to get out of the madness of the city for a day. Great value too.

Highly recommended - Thoroughly recommend. Our trip was for 8 hours with 6 of us in a minibus, involving a visit to the Argan Oils co-operative, a walk from Imlil to the waterfalls and then to a Berber village for a delicious lunch (1.5 hours walk altogether), and then a camel ride near the Agafey desert on the way back. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

Had a great time! - We had a great time and it was definitely one of the most memorable days of a trip. Pros: our guide Hassan spoke very good English and was a local, so we heard a lot of interesting details and stories of local berber culture (we actually saw his mother on the foothill as well!). The small hike was very nice and children could manage it too (5&6 y-o). The real wow-factor was lunch at a hidden local hostel with breath-taking views of the mountains from the terrace where we ate. It was absolutely stunning. The food was absolutely delicious as well. Simple, berber style lunch with excellent local flavors (65 dirhams per person, so very reasonably priced too). The driver also played some local dance music at the beginning, whish was really fun. Maybe there could have been a bit more talking on the ride, like give an overview of berber history, etc, when driving to the mountains (cause the drive was quite long). Or maybe tell some myths or stories from local culture.

Great tour guide - Visiting Agafay Desert, Atlas Mountains, and Waterfalls was an unforgettable experience! The mesmerizing landscapes of the Atlas Mountains offered breathtaking views, while the serenity of the Agafay Desert was truly awe-inspiring. Exploring the majestic waterfalls was an absolute delight, offering a refreshing break amidst nature's beauty. The scenic charm combined with the warm hospitality of the locals made this trip truly remarkable. The tour guides were knowledgeable and made the experience both educational and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking adventure, stunning vistas, and a true taste of Morocco's natural wonders!

Amazing tour with Hassan! - We had the most amazing tour with Hassan our guide and Mohammed our driver! They were incredibly knowledgable about the area and both grew up in a Berber village in the mountains, so knew all the locals and the local history. Hassan was so kind and friendly and answered all our questions and had our best interests always! The tour included going to a family home and eating a delicious three course meal which was home cooked and felt very authentic.

The views were very nice, but.... - We enjoyed the drive in a comfortable car, the driver was polite (although he seemed to be very bored throughout the day) and the views all around were wonderful. Also the guide for the hike was very friendly and informative, we had a nice time walking with him. The hike itself is a bit hard and long for those who are not physically quite fit. Nevertheless it was worth it. Imlil area was very beautiful and we recommend everyone to give it a visit. The lunch at a restaurant was also great. But.. the tour description says: "You will get to enjoy some tea with one of the Berber families in their traditional Berber home". That was one of the main reasons why we picked that exact tour and not from some other tour provider. We wanted to have this authentic experience to drink tea with a local family, in their home, to see how they live. Sadly, this never happened. Also, the tour description says, that breakfast and bottled water are included in the price. We didn't get any breakfast or water. So these things were a disappointment for us.
