Thick Duum - Our guide, Abdoul, was the ideal man for this trip! He spoke both English and French and has incredible knowledge of the region. An ideal travel guide for a nice trip not far from the city of Marrakesh. Thank you Abdoul for this unforgettable day!

Exceeded our expectations - We picked this tour to give us a feel for other aspects of Morocco during our short stay in Marrakech - it really delivered. we booked a small group tour and got lucky, we were the only booking so in effect it was a personal tour. Khalid, our guide from Promythic Tours, was brilliant. As well as being a great guide he was also a very nice person and great to spend the day with. The 5 valleys tour gave us so much, a view of life in the mountains, it's harshness and it's beauty. The Trek was given an extra dimension by periods of heavy rain, looking back it made it much more interesting, the rivers gushing from the rain and the snow higher up in the higher Atlas mountains. The vehicle was comfy but the biggest suprise was the quality of the Berber lunch, it was wonderful, as was the hospitality. Friendliness all around, a great experience.

Fab trip across the 5 valleys! - We had a brilliant trip across the 5 valleys with our great guide Tarek. We saw some beautiful sights and had wonderful food on our trip. The views were beautiful and Tarek was especially helpful in making sure we were well looked after. A fantastic experience that you won’t want to miss!

Would recommend! - We visited the Ourika valley with our driver Khalid. During our travel to the valley we made a few interesting stops. Our driver Khalid was very friendly, answered all our questions and gave us more information about Marrakesh and Berbers. Since it was just us we could also stop whenever we wanted to take pictures etc. The walk in the valley was beautiful. We had a great day!

A must in Marrakech - We were fortunate to have a private tour with Khalid who was very friendly knowledgeable about the Atlas Mountains and the Berber way of life. We really enjoyed the hike to the Ourika waterfalls but please note; the route is very steep and uneven and rocky so it’s a challenge but well worth it! Good non-slip walking shoes are essential. The local guide for the walk was also lovely and very helpful in ensuring that we made the hike safely. A wonderful day out for us both. Thanks Khalid!

Amazing experience - Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. As a family off myself my son and his girlfriend, the trip was booked as a gift whilst on holiday by my wife, who booked before we left England. From pick up to drop off the day was jam packed with experience's that we will remember for ever. The stunning scenery, architecture, culture and facts are hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. The private trip was alot more intimate and Khalid our guide was brilliant, he definitely made the trip more memorable and was great throughout the whole day.
On visiting Marrakech, you have to do this amazing trip and paying a little bit extra, for a special trip was well worth it for the memories. Will definitely book another trip with this company on our next visit.

The best experience to have in Marrakech - Khalid is a fantastic guide, he will take you to the best places in morocco. And he will be available to give you information about culture and life in Moroccan villages. He is very kind and will give you time to enjoy your trip. You will be able to see the stunning Ourika waterfalls, see the beautiful Oukaimden valley and its mountains, then have lunch in a Berber house in Sifi Fars, see the Asni valley and finally enjoy the return journey on a road surrounded by stunning mountains , villages and vegetation. On the way back you will also make a stop at Tahmaout Valley. In short, an experience not to be missed!!

Walk in the Atlas Mountains with a visit to the Berbers. - It was a very pleasant day: the guidance from the hotel to the starting point of the walk was very amusing. Abdou told a lot about the various important places on our journey there. Once there, Mohammed guided us through the Atlas Mountains to the Berber family, where we were welcomed with a very tasty meal (tajine with a salad and a bottle of water). During the walk we were also welcomed in a carpet weaving factory where we were offered a delicious mint tea.
We saw incredibly beautiful landscapes during the walk and were guided along the paths at our pace.
We thoroughly enjoyed it! This is highly recommended!!!
