Trip to Atlas Mountains - Brilliant experience driven by our most courteous and obliging Mohammed. He is so kind and makes sure everything goes smoothly. It is a great way to experience tea with a berber family and be driven safely in the beautiful scenery to the Atlas Mountains. Abdul was our guide up to the waterfall who made sure we got there safely. The colours of the stalls and cafes nestled by the river are stunning. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Great day out to experience some Moroccan culture - A great day out and all went smoothly. A perfect opportunity to experience some Moroccan culture and have a bit of fun riding a camel. Zaki was our driver and guide for the day and was prompt in picking us up from the hotel and provided lots of information throughout the day and was always polite. Lovely air conditioned people carrier. We had read the reviews about the challenging hike to the waterfalls so we ended our day after having lunch by the river at Setti Fatma village. As this was a private tour we could go at our own pace and we were never rushed. Moncef at Atlas Excursions was prompt in replying to all my questions and was very patient with me and provided all the information we needed and, as mentioned, was happy to tailor the day to our wishes. Thoroughly recommend this company and this tour.

The most kind and caring guides on this planet. ❤️ - Unis and his staff are beyond amazing. Words can't describe how wonderful these gentlemen are. My wife accidentally broke her foot and they were with us from beginning to end. At the hospital, pharmacy, hotel, and airport. I have so much love for these kind and warm friends. God Bless them and Thank you.

Trip of a lifetime - My family and I from Chicago visited Morocco in June 2022. There were 7 of us in the group, including 3 kids. Atlas Excursions were phenomenal and made this the trip of a lifetime. They offered complimentary airport transfers from Menara airport in Marrakech to our hotel and back when our trip was over. We had 4 excursions organized by Atlas. We went to the Atlas Mountains, to Casablanca, we had a Marrakech city tour and visited Alt Ben Haddou (the site where several movies and tv series were shot e.g. gladiator, Jesus movie, game of thrones, prince of persia etc.) For all the trips and airport transfers, our driver Karim was great. He always came on time, accommodated all of our requests and it was great been driven around in a black Mercedes van that was very comfortable with an interior that has swivel seats so we could face each other. On our trip to the Atlas Mountains, Karim even added an unplanned trip to an old governors palace where we learnt so much history and culture. We had reached out to Moncef from Atlas mountains via whatsapp (+ 212 697 481240) prior to our travel and he stayed in touch with us via text the whole time during our trip, checking in to ensure we were comfortable without every trying to sell us on anything. Their prices are very reasonable and once we got to Morocco and interacted with other tour companies in the country, we confirmed that their prices were great. First if your thinking about visiting Morocco, please just do it and don't give it a second thought. You will not regret it. The people, the food, the culture, this was my favorite destination and our family are seasoned travelers having been to every island in the Caribbean, Europe, Central and South America and several countries in Africa. Morocco is the top of the list for history, culture, good food, warm people. We also visited Essaouira which is the beach and went to the Sahara desert to ride Quads. Thank you for a memorable trip Karim, Moncef and all of you at Atlas Excursions. We will be back soon.

We will definitely do it again! - From the initial contact with the tour organizer, the excellent knowledge and wonderful humor of our driver, the generosity of the Berber locals, the trip was organized and run smoothly and with the interests and comfort of the participants always kept in mind. We always felt safe, well taken care of with a very friendly attitude. Would definitely recommend
