Perfect day out 🥰 - This was the most fabulous day out. We were collected by our driver, Soufiane, from the hotel. The camel ride and mint tea was a great experience and then we went on to the argan oil cooperative where we were provided with delicious samples. We couldn’t resist buying some of their products. Then to the trek in the mountains. Oh my! Our guide, Hamid, was so knowledgeable and so patient with me (we were lucky enough to go when there was some snow on the ground and I’m not the most stable!). We had lunch in his house with fabulous food and stunning scenery and were lucky enough to meet some of his family. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough

Amazing day at atlas mountains! - We had the best time with Hameed on the Private Valley and Atlas Mountain Tour! From the start, he was so kind, helpful, and made us feel right at home. The mule ride through the stunning mountains was such a fun and unique experience.
Visiting the Amazigh villages was truly eye-opening. Hameed shared so much about their culture and way of life, and it was incredible to connect with the people and learn about their traditions.
What really made the day special was visiting Hameed’s home. His family welcomed us so warmly, and his mother’s cooking was incredible—easily the best meal we had in Morocco!
Hameed’s passion and genuine care for his guests made this tour unforgettable. If you’re in Marrakech, this is a must-do! Thank you, Hameed, for an amazing experience!

Fantastic day trip to experience Berber culture and see the Atlas Mountains - I thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to experience and learn about real Berber life. Our guide Hamid, who is a local Berber, was knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. The market was amazing, to see how the locals buy their food, and the walk up to Hamid’s village was interesting and not strenuous. The food was very delicious, big thank you to Hamid’s family, such wonderful hospitality. Our driver Rashid, was very good and careful on the chaotic streets. Thank you for such a wonderful and informative trip, the whole family, including 3 teenagers, had a very memorable time.

A perfect day out! - This was a five star experience to the Atlas Mountains with our guide Elhoussain and driver Mustafa. We chose the private tour option and could therefore go at our own pace. We were taken to the women's cooperative where argan oil products are made and sold. We travelled through the beautiful scenery, stopping at view points to take photos. We made our way towards the highest berber village and walked the last 30 minutes to reach Elhoussain's family home where we were greeted by his mother, nephew and sister. His mother had prepared a delicious traditional tagine lunch which we ate in their dining room. Following this we were guided out of the other side of the village and walked to a small waterfall before being driven back to marrakech. This is an authentic and personal experience which gave insight into Berber traditions in addition to seeing the beautiful scenery.

The Best Tour! - Easily the best thing I did in Morocco! It was great to get out of the city for the day and our guide was so welcoming. It was fun to see a side of Morocco that many tourists don’t get to see. I highly recommend going on a Tuesday or Saturday to visit the farmer’s market if you’re able to. Also, the lunch we were served as part of our tour was absolutely delicious! I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was perfect!

Excellent small group tour - This was an excellent trip in all respects. ‘Ibri’, the guide spoke excellent English and was a really nice friendly guy. There were only five of us (2 English, 2 Belgians and 2 Argentinian) so it was easy to chat to Ibri all the time and he was very knowledgable. Trip up to the mountains had plenty of stops. When we got up into the mountains we did a 50 min walk (fairly easy along a dirt road) to his small village and had lunch at the house of one of his family. Excellent home cooked food eaten out on the terrace looking out onto snow-capped peaks (food included in the price) Another 50 min walk back to be picked upon another village (this time downhill and steeper so take good shoes) and then back to Marrakesh.
This was more like a private tour with a friend in a 12 seater minibus - can’t recommend it enough

We would go again - We enjoyed this trip a lot. Ibri took a lot of time to answer all our questions. He was kind and fun. The food at his mother's place was amazing, and the view was stunning. We learned a lot about the area and we would highly recommend this trip.
