Fun trip - It was fun and memorable. Just know that you are in the car for at least half of the excursion. Very cool to see the village, food was tasty, and the camels were very calm.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE - We recommend this beautiful day excursion with camel ride in the nearby Agafay desert, visit to an Argan cooperative with snack, stop at the suggestive and charismatic Berber market, break to refill water and fruit, visit to the village above Imlil at 1,800 m above sea level altitude without even realizing it and waterfalls at 2000 m. all included including lunch, chicken tajine and delicious and abundant couscous; honestly it deserved a few euros more, we were surprised, considering that there is also travel by bus, which is no small thing. I forgot, obviously with recovery and return to the indicated point. Ibrahim the guide is a knowledgeable and very kind boy, he answered all our curiosities, adding stories about the experience and history of his country, very interesting and exciting.
We highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!
Have a good life Ibrahim (excursion of 01.27.2024)

This was fun and worth... - This was fun and worth every penny. Ibrahim was an excellent tour guide, infusing the tour with humour and funny anecdotes at intervals. He made us feel relaxed and helped us take lovely photos as well. His team was also wonderful, timely, and organised and they delivered on all their promises. I highly recommend it.

A must do!! - The highlight of my Morocco trip! Ibrahim was very welcoming, and an excellent guide.
He invited us to his house, we had the best tajin and couscous!
We also learned a lot about the Berber culture and people.
I’d recommend this trip to anyone. Amazing value for money!

Magnificent excursion - Magnificent excursion with Ibrahim who is an exceptional guide:
We were a family of 24 people of all ages and our day was privatized with a mini coach of 16 people and 8.
Pick-up from our Riad a little far from Marrakech.
We started with a visit to a typical Berber market then an argon oil factory cooperative with tasting of tea and bread. (a little long and obligatory passage to the store although free not to buy but it is a bit difficult)
Then magnificent road to arrive at Imlil at the foot of Toubkal (with the view of the damage caused by the earthquake)
Great lunch on a terrace before an excursion to a waterfall before heading back to the magnificent Kik plateau before arriving in the Agafay desert and a short camel ride.
Our only regret is having arrived a little late to watch the sunset over the dunes (we should have spent less time at the cooperative)
Exceptional day thanks to Ibrahim who extended our day until 8:30 p.m. so that we could enjoy everything.
Many thanks to Ibrahim and the vehicle drivers.
Unbeatable value for money.

Outstanding, sights and sounds in the high Atlas mountains.. - This is the trip we had been looking forward to, a trip outside the city confines of Marrakesh.
It did not disappoint, it’s worth every penny, Ibrahim, our tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and extremely friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
We started out visiting a local Berber market, from fresh produce to beds,all can be bought at ridiculously low prices, it was an eye opener, we were even encouraged to sample the fresh fruit and veg. At no cost. ..
Next onto the camel ride. Great fun. Only 15 minutes but well worth it.
From there it was onto a Berber village for lunch. Made by Ibrahims mother and sister in law … absolutely outstanding.. tagines of the highest quality. Fantastic set up for the 40 minute walk to the waterfalls, which is at 1400metres above sea level. Not for those with mobility issues!
All in all I can not recommend this trip highly enough.. thank you Ibrahim .

Excellent - Lovely day in the Atlas Mountains. Absolutely worth every penny. The guide Ibrahim is a gentle person, speaking English very well. He brought us first to a scenic viewpoint for photos in the desert and a camel ride. Then we went on having tea and learning how they produce argan oils. We then went further into the Atlas Mountains to have a late traditional lunch and a walk to a waterfalll. In all a very pleasant excursion.

Amazing tour and guide - The tour was amazing. Truly one of the highlights of our trip in Marrakesh. The guide is a Berber which only added to the experience. Ibrahim was really knowledgeable and showed us the real story behind everything.
He was super helpful and even helped my son experience a quad ride as it was his wish for the trip.
The food prepared by his family was delicious and everyone was lovely.
I felt sick and his family was really welcoming and we are so thankful for the received hospitality.
100% recommended
