Amazing experience - We recently returned from our 3 day trip to climb mount Toubkal and our first 4000+ high mountain.
We have had an amazing experience thanks to our guide Mohamed and muleteer (and chef) Omar.
We highly recommend Mohamed if you want to have fun and make jokes. Be sure you like Berber whiskey (tea) because you will have to drink a lot of it.
Tanemmirt Mohamed!

Fantastic experience climbing Mount Toubkal - We recently trekked up Mount Toubkal with our incredible guide Ibrahim. As relatively novice trekkers, Ibrahim guided and supported us every step of the way. He was so funny and as a female only trip of 3 girls, we always felt safe and secure with him. Our cooks were also absolutely fantastic - we couldn’t believe the quality of food they could make half way up a mountain with so little utensils! The trek itself was stunning- the photos just don’t do the mountains justice. There were also multiple opportunities for cold water swimming in the waterfalls and rivers along the way which was a great way to soothe the tired muscles. We loved it and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving it a go!

3-day trip in the Atlas - We had a fantastic three-day hike. We completed a loop from Imlil, passing by Cascades gelées d'IGHOULIDNE and reaching Toubkal's summit at dawn on our third day.
We camped near the refuges, enjoyed delicious local food, and explored breathtaking parts of the Atlas Mountains.
Mohamed, our guide, and his team were brilliant. They took excellent care of us, cooking plenty of delicious meals, ensuring our well-being, and making sure we always had everything we needed. Mohamed knows the area like the back of his hand, and his passion for this region is contagious. I'd love to return to see more, and I highly recommend Mohamed and his team if you're considering a trip to the Atlas.

Excellent Guide, Amazing Sunrise - I did this trip together with a friend and can wholeheartedly recommend it. The views and landscape are amazing and the people are very friendly and welcoming.
The organization is absolutely trustworthy and our guide Mohamed was also excellent.
If you are very fit, you can also do the ascent to Toubkal and descent to Imlil in 2 days. This saves you one more day to discover Morocco!
Overall it was a great adventure and I will never forget my first sunrise at over 4000m.

Unforgettable Mount Toubkal Adventure - The Mount Toubkal trek was an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend to active individuals who love a challenge. Mohamed Sarkuzi guided us, as inexperienced female hikers, and made us fall in love with the mountains. Mohamed is easy-going, funny, and shares a wealth of knowledge about Berber culture and the surrounding landscapes. He was truly the best guide we could have hoped for. Moreover, the organization is extremely trustworthy, and everything was perfectly arranged.

A genuine adventure accompanied by a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand the culture and traditions of Moroc - What an adventure! We were taken from Marrakech by private taxi to a picturesque mountain village called Imlil. There we stayed in a typicaly styled but high quality hotel. We had time to explore Imlil and I would recommend taking time to look around and walk into the village itself off the main road.
The next day the guide met us at the hotel and our packs were taken onto the mule. The muleteer doubled as our private chef for the tour and we were given a wide variety of classic morroccan cuisine, freshly prepared and suited to your dietary requirements.
The guide adjusted pace to the needs of the group and being born in the mountains was able to answer a wide range of local and cultural questions. His language skills in English were good and he certainly was able to speak many other European languages.
The 1st day walking was approx 5hours plus food and rest stops. Sleeping on the mountain is tricky so bring ear plugs. You have an option of either tents or to stay in the mountain lodge. It can get chilly depending on the time of year. We chose the lodge but it was actually too hot in July. The next morning we started the ascent very early to summit before sunrise. We arrived 30 minutes before sunrise and it was truly spectacular to see the sun rise above Marrakech to one side and the desert to the other. The views are 360 degree from the top and the mountain sides spectacular and steep. The route itself is steep but manageable without climbing skills. Altitude sickness can be a factor for some, this is not related to fitness and is unpredictable. You can reduce the chance of this by spending more time at altitude prior to climbing. There are other walks from the mountain lodge and this can give you time to acclimatise at altitude prior to ascending if you have more time and want to do more trekking. Our group of 4 all managed to climb without problem but be aware it can be chilly particularly if windy at the top. Once the sun came out it rapidly warmed however so it depends what time you climb. We descended via a different route from the ascent because of our knowledgeable guide Ibrahim. This meant we spent the whole descent with only our tour group visible. This is a relatively quiet mountain in terms of other groups and does not feel as if there is an excessive tourism load compared with many other locations.
When we returned the guide had already contacted our driver to collect us and we were soon on our way back to Marrakech. Throughout the process of booking and managing the trip Toubkal Guide were very professional and responsive. I have already recommended Toubkal Guide to my friends in Essaouira and would do the same to anyone reading this review.

Truly once in a lifetime! - We booked this trek as a part of a company trip - we were kindly led by Hassan who was great from start to finish and really made our trip! The food was phenomenal and it was truly once in a life time.

3 day trek to the summit of Mount Toubkal - My husband and I had an amazing 3 day trek with our guide. We had a mule carrying our gear and a cook. Our cook Youssef was simply amazing and would cook up everything from tajines, couscous, pasta, and rice dishes, both on the trails and at our overnight destinations. The scenery is magnificent and we stayed in the Azzaden Valley on our first night and camped in our tent, which was spectacular. We then stayed at base camp on the second night and also camped, which my husband and I highly recommend, as it’s more peaceful and quiet, versus the dorms. We successfully summitted Mount Toubkal and our guide was fantastic the entire way, ensuring we took breaks and enjoyed the scenery. We also stayed at Imlil Lodge after our trek and it was spectacular. The service, food and facilities were amazing, including a hot shower, a comfortable bed and a private balcony overlooking the mountains. We highly recommend Toubkal Guides!

Awesome! - The three day Toubkal trek was an awesome experience. Mohammed and the team looked after us incredibly well and we managed to squeeze an amazing amount of trekking through the villages and waterfall in just a short couple of days. Couldn’t recommend them enough! TENMIRT x

The Best Trip! 10/10 - Myself and my partner were so excited for the Toubkal trek, which was booked via Adventure Base, and to say our expectations were exceeded would be an understatement! Our guide Mohamed went above and beyond for everything and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, and that goes for all who we met in the National Park, which is breathtakingly beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend this to all who are interested.
Tanmirt Mohamed!
