Great guides and amazing scenery - We had an amazing few days in the Atlas mountains with 2 guides over 3 days, both called Mohamed, one nicknamed Larbi. They were both very knowledgeable and friendly and made the trip a really worthwhile experience. We stayed in 2 guesthouses where the food was lovely and the scenery each day was breathtaking, especially climbing one of the sumits overlooking Imlil. Would 100% recommend this trip.

Day trip from Marrakech: Atlas mountains - We did the Atlas mountains and Berber villages 2 day hiking tour from Marrakech and it was absolutely amazing. Can't recommend this tour company enough. Everything went smoothly from the moment I first made contact with Ahmed to the celebratory mint tea after returning from the hike itself. Ahmed took care of everything. The guide he provided was excellent. The food that was provided on the tour was the best we had throughout our whole Moroccan trip, The hike itself is a must. I really can't thank Ahmed enough for this trek. He also gave us plenty of helpful advise on other aspects of our trip. If you want a great tour and everything to run smoothly, use the best....use ( Art de Cuivre Travel )

Poor organisation explanation but excellent guiding, accommodation and food. - You can review this trip in several pieces. Firstly communication with the company was rubbish. They took days to respond and did not fully answer the questions posed for example what you needed to bring along. Secondly the first part of day one travelling to the Atlas is with other people on a day trip so was was confused when they weren’t equipped for trekking for 2 days. Around midday you separated from them and you are met by your guide for the 2 days and taken to lunch which was very good. Our guide was Mehamad he was very professional and polite. He discussed with us the options for route length, terrain and accommodation to best suit are needs and ability. We trekked for about 4 hours to a guest house in the hills. The Guest house was excellent and the staff very good. The second day my wife was ill but Mehamad was very supportive and assisted in adjusting our route back. After lunch we were collected by a mini bus which again contained day trippers and we had to wait whilst they went on camel rides although we were given tea in the tent whilst out of the sun. So the trip can be split into 2 parts the getting to and from Imlil (start of trek) and the trek itself. The first part and the organisation could have been explained better by the company but the second part which we had selected ie the trek was very good mainly down to the fact that Mehamad was very helpful
