AMAZING! Would give 10 stars if I could - This trip was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Worlds away from the other trips we’ve done in Morroco. Yasmin our guide was just perfect in every sense. Fun, kind, patient, knowledgeable and informative. If you are lucky you will get her as your guide.
Trip itself was great. Other trips we have done we’ve felt like it’s been very money/tip orientated. However not once on this trip were we hounded for money. These guys felt like they genuinely cared about their country and showing off their culture to you.
The trip/activities itself were great. We had already done a camel trip in the agafay desert and that was truely awful. This on the other hand was worlds apart. The camels for starters were looked after and treat well. They looked healthy. And it was evident that they were more than just a money making machine for the owners. Before the camel ride they dressed you in traditional clothing. Little touches like that show they are not in it just for money but to show you their culture aswell.
We then visited a women’s argon oil plantation, which was really informative, where we had breakfast and were shown how they produced argon oil. Of course they want you to buy something but they did not pressure you at all. Which actually made us buy. Which was a breath of fresh air.
We then drove to mountains and walked to the waterfall. Wasn’t to strenuous at all. So don’t be put off by the words trek/hike. Yasmin was super patient with everyone and took numerous stops to talk to us about Moroccan culture and the mountain people traditions. She then took us to her families home in the Atlas Mountains where we had the best tagines/cous cous we’ve had in Morroco.
Genuinely could not of wished for a better day with a superb tour guide. Thank you Yasmin you deserve all the success you get.

Absolutely incredible!

Amazing day out in the Atlas Mountains - Omar, Hassan and the family were great hosts. Very knowledgeable and friendly and the food they served at their house was amazing.
Camel ride, tea stops, a visit to an Argan oil cooperative as well as a hike through the Atlas mountains - past waterfalls and beautiful scenery to their house with a banquet laid out.
Thoroughly brilliant day out and well worth booking with Omar and family.
Thanks for everything yesterday!

A great day! - We booked this trip at the last minute. Omar was punctual picking us up. The van was comfortable. This trip was a great learning experience. We visited a place that made argan oil from scratch. On our hike to the waterfall, we stopped for lunch at Omar’s family home. It was so wonderful to have a home hosted meal and to be able to visit a local family. On our way back, we had a great time riding the camels. Omar took such great pictures for the group. We highly recommend this day trip.

Heartwarming, magnificent and so much fun! - The Atlas Mountains are truly stunning. And our guide Aimran is truly amazing. He shows genuine empathy and is a fountain of knowledge. Lunch at his Family home was a superb feast and very humbling. He goes above and beyond his role to ensure your safety and happiness. He is a compassionate soul matched only by the love and respect shown to him by our adorable group (who were all amazing too!) and all those we met on our journey. Sign up, you will benefit in leaps and bounds, literally!

Best experience I had whilst in Marrakech! - absolutely amazing experience! Aimran is the nicest, most caring person, he always made sure we were all okay and happy!
he welcomed us into his home, for the best tagine I have had whilst l've been in Morroco, where we got to meet his wonderful family and have a beautiful meal all together. we saw amazing views, of valleys and waterfalls and stopped to take so many priceless pictures along the way!
Aimran also has the best stories about everywhere we got to visit on this trip, as he grew up in the Atlas Mountains he knows all about it and loves to share his experiences and is always up for answering every question we had. met some amazing people along with this trip as well, which made the whole experience that much more wholesome.
would definitely recommend this to anyone that visits here, it's an absolute must do! if you have any doubts, just book it, it will be your favourite activity whilst you're here :)

Wonderful views, hilarious camel ride, interesting stop at an argon oil cooperative, gorgeous food & friendly knowledgeable guid - My friend and I booked this trip to the Atlas Mountains for a day trip from Marrakech. It completely exceeded expectations. Our guide Umar was very well informed, friendly and attentive. He spoke excellent English and shared lots of information about the area and Berber culture and history. The camel ride was fun and we really enjoyed hearing about the argon oil production process at the women's cooperative. The hike down to the waterfall was a little tough on our old knees, but totally worth it and just beautiful. The lunch that was prepared for us at Umar's house by his mum and auntie was absolutely delicious. Probably the best meal of our whole stay. All in all we would absolutely recommend this trip with Umar.

Amazing Atlas mountain experience with our tour guide Umar - A memorable trip in Marrakech! So happy that I chose this trip based on the star rating and competitive price. Umar is a fantastic guide, from camel rides in Berber robes to getting an authentic experience visiting Berber villages where argan oil was produced with the best lunch ever in his home up in the mountains cooked by his family was the ultimate memory to cherish.
Trekking up Atlas mountains was the most incredible adventure. Grateful to Umar for safely and efficiently navigating us, (mostly me with no rock climbing experience before). He spoke very well and answered all our questions. I would be most happy to recommend him as a guide and the trip he organised.

Essential Morocco experience - This experience had everything you’d want from an immersive experience in Morocco. Our guide was extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable in all aspects of the trip. We learned way more about traditional Moroccan culture on this trip than any museum and had an incredible time doing it
