The Best Tour -
Thank you fouzia
This is the best day so far in Morrocco. Fouzia, our guide Fouzia and a well-experienced driver, is fantastic. She is so friendly and pays attention to everyone. The mountain is impressive. The snow, the villages, the hike, the lunch, make the journey enjoyable.

Atlas Mountains Trip and More! - I was absolutely stunned by the quality and value for money of this trip. Local pick up by our enthusiastic guide Omar was the beginning of the highlight of my visit to Marrakesh. The camel ride, visit to a Berber House, breakfast, lunch and hike were all part of the package. There was no hard sell at the Women’s Co Operative and I was happy to purchase some Argan Oil products. Omar was a star - friendly, knowledgeable and perceptive. This is a must do trip - worth much more than 5 stars! Thank you 🙏🏽

Better than excellent tour - Our tour guide Fauzia was excellent. She was very caring and a true professional. We will like her to be our guide in all our future trips and we will recommend her to all our friends. She deserves 6 stars but can give her only 5!

Really nice trip in the Berber villages! - Omar is amazing guide and storyteller. Aside from knowing alot about all the places and activities we went to, we also had the chance to have lunch at his house in the mountains. He made sure everyone is comfortable and is having a great time! Totally recommend this trip and its super worth the price.

Excellent day trip- highly recommended. - You won’t be disappointed by booking this tour. With such a brilliant day, you get way more than you pay for with Omar.
Hotel pick-up followed by a camel ride experience & a visit to the ladies Argan oil co-operative (with snacks, music & dancing!) Onward to the mountains where we ate at Omar’s family home- a delicious tagine! Then a hike through the mountain villages before a final photo shoot at a waterfall. All these activities were so well organised and yet, the most amazing part of the day, was Omar himself! Such a hard-working, personable & knowledgeable young man, very patient & nothing was too much trouble. There were no hidden costs, he is very proud of his Berber upbringing and life in the mountains and we wish him and his family all the success with this tour business.

Yasmin made our day! - It can't get much better, this tour was amazing, mainly due to Yasmin, our tour guide. We can see she's passioned about her country and culture, kept us informed about everything, invited us into her family house with a delicious lunch. I highly reccommend this tour, what an amazing day we had. Thank you!

Fantastic day trip and great value for money - This trip is great value for money. It offers different activities and lots of interesting information was given by Omar, who made sure everything went smoothly. The camel ride was great dressed up in traditional clothes, had good Moroccan tea, and great lunch. They've also made rice for me for the tagine as I need to follow a gluten free diet, which I really appreciated. The hike wasn't bad and after each stretch of ascent (not too many) we stopped to catch our breath and were given some more information, or could ask Omar anything we wanted to know. It is not an exhausting hike at all, we had people from different age groups, but do make sure you have good shoes (not slippers). The van was comfortable and there were plenty of stops, so the longest we spent in the car was on the way back to Marrakech (1.5 hours tops).
We were also shown how argan is being processed and could buy some local products that were at high quality (purchase is not compulsory though don't worry).
Omar provides a great service and he's taking great photos as well, so make sure you leave a tip. We had a fantastic time, thanks Omar.

Atlas mountains - The camel ride was excellent. Our guide was very helpful in taking photographs and videos of us one video, shot against the sun is fantastic. The berber section was okay but we'd learned this from previous talks. The breakfast though was superb. The hike in the mountains was good and the water falls were great. In summary it was a good day out well organised and interesting.
