Good guides and beautiful surroundings - The drive towards the atlas mountains with Mohammed was very nice. Much told about the area and the Berbers. Very sympathetic Guide. Then the walk with Ismael towards the waterfall. Nice heavy walk good walking shoes are definitely needed. This is especially when descending.

Culture, nature and a break from the heat of Marrakesh. - Our driver and tour guides, both called Mustafa, were excellent. Our guide up the mountain really looked after us as we climbed up and down the trail. We had lunch in a lovely little place in a village which made a perfect end to the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone considering it. Darren and Fiona.

Be Sure to Enjoy the Mountains - We had a wonderful adventure! The mountains are truly charming, and the people are warm and welcoming. We were very glad to get out of the city.

Wonderful day - What to say about this day everything was extraordinary memorable. The guide Mohamed who is an endless mine of information with a very rich culture and who deeply loves his country, who accompanies you all day explains everything in French knows all the secrets of his magnificent region. We visited the argon factory where it was just sublime welcome breakfast until the different stage of just perfect oil preparation. We met Ali a hiking guide a great gentleman of exemplary humility who gave us a beautiful life lesson by passing the welcome in a Berber family with a delicious meal prepared by two sisters. Bravo a thousand thanks. To be done again and especially take example on them. See you soon, Inchallah. And a big thank you Morroco inspiring tours for shifting us the exit without them we could not have discovered this wonderful place.

Well organised, fantastic views. - I booked this tour for a work event (30-plus people). The drivers arrived on time at our hotel and were very courteous and patient. Our group all enjoyed the hiking (even though we had to cut the duration down due to heavy traffic in Marrakech and needing to return to the hotel by a specific time). They loved the views and enjoyed the refreshments, and some did buy argan oil when the minibuses stopped at a local vendor; some of the group said they would have liked more information about the local vendors, hence a 4-star review). Thank you to Morocco Inspiring Tours for being flexible and allowing a large group to do the tour.

Best day in Marrakech! Do it! - Abdul, my tour guide is an extremely friendly person. Fantastic trip to the Atlas mountains, with a small stop along the way for some Moroccan breakfast. Nice car, and a clean car. Abdul is incredibly good at telling and explaining. I myself am a very open person, so we had many good talks on the trip to the Atlas mountains. In the Atlas Mountains, I met Redwan, a super sweet and friendly local guide, who agreed to the hike in the mountains. He certainly took very good care of me. All in all, 'money well spent', I would gladly take that trip again. Huge recommendation from here. Do it. Worth all the money!

Great Tour 😁 - Did this private tour as a solo traveller with Mohammed. It couldn't have gone any better; clear pickup instructions provided over WhatsApp the day before, bottle of water provided, great vehicle, great guide explained a lot about the city, culture and landscape. Top notch, would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to see some of the Atlas Mountains while in Morocco.

An unforgettable experience not to be missed - The trip was very well planned and full of unique and incredible experiences, but what really made the day was our amazing tour guide Mohammed. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was honestly the best tour guide we’d ever had. The lunch with the Berber family on the mountain was also such an unforgettable experience. Please do this excursion, you will not regret it!

Lovely and informative! - My husband and I had an amazing time on the day tour to the High Atlas Mountains! We enjoyed a beautiful hike then some mint tea by the rivers along the mountain foothills. Then continued our journey seeing all 5 valleys and had a very tasty traditional lunch prepared by a Berber family. We also had the opportunity to stop by at a women’s co-op where we were able to buy some handmade natural products. Ismail was an amazing guide and shared many fun facts about Morocco. Drop off and pick up was also very easy to coordinate and arrange - I would recommend this tour to all!
