Enjoyable trip with an informative and friendly guide - This was a really enjoyable trip, which provided an informative introduction to the region and the people and culture of the Atlas Mountains.
Marwane, our guide, was excellent, allowing us to take things at our own pace. He provided interesting insights into the customs of the area and gave lots of tips and recommendations for the rest of our time in Marrakesh, including where to source the best live music.
Would highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful tour of the Ourika Valley - Very good experience that does not take a whole day. Our Guide Marouan was very friendly and gave us additional information about the place and people who live there.
Good duration for the activity that allows you to see the Atlas Mountains and stop for a while in the Ourika Valley.

Great well organised relaxing tour - We had a wonderful half day tour - perfectly suited for a couple of kids who don’t like to walk much and like their food! The traditional Berber breakfast was delicious (the argan oil honey peanut butter was sooo good), and we really enjoyed just chilling by the river with a mint tea. We deliberately went with this tour as it was small, private and relaxing. We didn’t want the hikes or big group and so it suited us perfectly. Marwane was very friendly and taught us a lot about Berber life and Moroccan culture. It was the highlight of our trip!

Atlas trip - We would thoroughly recommend the half day Atlas tour. The guide (Marouan) was fantastic and the Berba women were really lovely. We purchased some great Argan products from their shop. Well worth a visit!

Would recommend! - My partner and I had a fantastic time with out guide Marwan. We were picked up from our hotel even though we were a bit out the city (Sol Oasis), a big plus as other tour operators said our hotel was too far.
Marian stopped at quite a few points to let us take pictures. We then went to some berber ladies who fed us a delicious breakfast (bread and variety of interesting dips + mint tea). They explained argan oil to us and were lovely. There was an opportunity to buy some souvenirs too.
We went on a very small manageable hike to a high point in the valley. Got great photos and Marwan explained lots about the valleys and the berber people. Marwan was really friendly and answered all our questions. Interesting as he was part berber himself and could speak the language to the locals.
Loved that we were back in time for our hotel lunch. Great for those tight for time and can't do the whole day trip but still want to see the beautiful valleys and learn about the native North Africans.
Would definitely recommend!
