Love the mountains - A great way to get a taste of High Atlas Mountains. Highly recommend if limited on time. Great mini van and guide. Watch out for prices at the Argan Co-op- very pricey.

Great tour - Great trip with Mustapha driver and Mustapha guide. We visited local market and bought some fruits there, the hike was great, though be prepared for a 60-90 minutes hike - so hat and good shoes are must. The views are breathtaking. We tried walnuts just fallen from a tree, and had a tea at Mustapha home. Such a great way to learn about life in Berber villages. The food after the hike was really amazing. Very much enjoyed the day outside the busy Marrakesh.

Spectacular virws - Spectacular scenery Great lunch. Mustapha our guide was very attentive and friendly. Observation, terrain difficult and steep, we were not aware of this when booking. However certainly worth the climb to see the waterfalls

Atlas Mountains waterfalls. - A fabulous outing into the mountains. The mountain tour guide Mustapha was absolutely amazing. His ability to explain the culture in the berber villages was outstanding. I highly recommend this trip as a day outing.

Village life through the eyes of a local - We had a nice day trip from Marrakesh with driver Mohamed and guide Mustapha! We were picked up at Jemaa El-Fnaa in Marrakesh and drove from there towards the Imlil valley. We stopped at an argan oil coorperation which helps widows or divorced women to get their lives on track. After a few viewpoints in the stunning valley, we arrived in Imlil. In Imlil, we met our guide Mustapha; a young enthusiastic local guy who knows the area, the language and the culture very well, since he grew up in one of the seven Berber villages. We had a short walk through three villages, after which we stopped for a cup of tea at his home, and for a very very good lunch at a nearby riad. Both Mustapha's and Mohamed's interactions with the other locals made us feel very comfortable and accepted. After the lunch in Imlil, we walked back to the main street where Mohamed was waiting for us. We jumped in the car and drove back to Marrakesh. In the car, we could chat about everything with Mohamed, which was a nice way to get to know the Moroccan culture.

Worth a visit - Mustapha was an amazing guide, lovely young chap. Take some small change with you, there are stops with cold drinks and good expresso on the way up to waterfalls, which we enjoyed in the sunshine. Lovely lunch (€6 extra but worth it) then we got to see mountain rain and hail on the way back down back to 38° in Marrakech!

Exercise, Nature, Culture and Food. - We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Both our driver Mustafa and our guide also Mustafa, were excellent. Mustafa the guide helped my partner up and down the trail when we encountered large rocks and steps and walkways. The tour was just about right time wise, good exercise without being too tiring and it was finished off with a genuinely lovely three course meal in one of the village restaurants with one last amazing view over the valley. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you guys!

Great excursion to the high Atlas - After being picked up in the morning at just after 9am near our riad we were taken together with another couple in a small van very comfortably to the mountains near Marrakesh. During the trip we made 2 short stops for photos and visited a very traditional Argan Oil cooperation. After about 2 hours we reached the starting point of the hike. There our guide Mustapha received us and accompanied us on a 1.5 hour hike/walk (without breaks). Mustapha has always taken into consideration all participants, was very nice, courteous and could give us some information about the regional villages. Within the hike we stopped at 2 rather tourist waterfalls, had a tea and enjoyed the beautiful view at many points. Finally, we had a really delicious and cheap lunch in a riad. The location is a real insider tip. Afterwards we were returned safely to our hotel. Overall, we were really happy with the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh. We also found particularly positive that NO donkey, horse or camel riding was included within the tour.

A must-do activity if you are staying in Marrakech - We were driven by Moustapha Darvir who took us to viewpoints and the women's cooperative. We then met Mustapha Idali in Imlil, who was our hiking guide to the waterfalls. Both were wonderful guides, but our trek was especially excellent, Mustapha was extremely kind, helpful and patient with my mother on the trek, which wasnt long but steep in some places. The restaurant he took us to for lunch was perfect.
