Excellent! - Great trip, including camel ride and hike with a Berber in the Atlas Mountains, followed by a meal.
Full marks to Moustapha Awer who was a brilliant Berber guide, and our private driver (also) Mustapha.
Totally recommend this trip.

Best Moroccan Experience - AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Hassan was our hiking tour guide and gave us lots of interesting information. Our driver (I think his name was Al-Ji) also stopped frequently to allow us to take pictures of the beautiful views, and had bluetooth. Great bang for your buck. Expect many local experiences and lots of tea!

A wonderful escape from the city - We absolutely loved our day out with Hassan. He went the extra mile (literally) and took us on a longer hike as we were making quick pace to the waterfall. The scenery was so beautiful and we really loved being in the Atlas Mountains.
Hassans knowledge of the area was great and he has a lovely demeanour and filled with local anecdotes.
Would recommend to anyone wanting an escape from the city!

Nice road trip away ! - I had a great time, they picked us up at the square on time. We had a good guide on the mountains. The trip is long but up there is fresh not as hot as Marrakesh. We had a stop with tea and one for lunch. Food was very good and it's all included. The camel ride was amazing. It's taller then I thought. They took many pics of each one of us and they provided costumes. Overall was a great road trip away from the hot Marrakesh! I recommend
Tips: wear hiking shoes. Bring big bottle of water. Rest.the night before!

Great day out - Great experience from start to finish!
Easy to book plus prompt response from Mohamed to all my emails with questions. Our driver Mustafa has driven us safely all day long. In the Atlas Mountains we had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide Omar, he not only show us all the beautiful spots in the barber village and waterfalls but also he became our camera man! He took amazing pictures and videos of us! We paid extra €6 for delicious lunch in the local house. The day ended with desert visit and camel ride. Lots of driving could be tired but it is well worth it! We will truly recommend this experience and company to our friends visiting Marrakesh in the near future.

Great day out - Great experience from the start to finish. Easy to book, very quick response from Mohamed to all my emails with questions. Our driver Mustafa has driven us safely all day long! Great guidance from Omar in Atlas Mountains, really friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing views and a bit of hiking - well worth to get tired for! Yummy lunch for an extra €6 in the village house. Trip ended up with desert visit and camel ride. We also got plenty of Moroccan mint tea during the day! I can truly recommend this experience.

Beautiful views, but not the most accurate description of the tour - The tour was 8.5 hours, which if I didn't have to catch a train I probably wouldn't have cared. Then the driver wanted to argue with me about the time he said we would return to Marrakesh. It also doesn't mention that you have to hike to get to the waterfalls. We didn't go into the Jewish cemetary or stop at the market. We drove past both things and they were pointed out to us. It was interesting and lovely, but maybe not exactly as described.
