Atlas Mountains - It was absolutely worth the money. You see another side of Morocco and experience authentic Berber life. The guide ismael and the driver Hisam were good and talented and professional. He has neither led us into any trust trap nor tried to sell extras.
Thanks for the nice day.

Vallée Imlil - Very nice day with our guide Ismail, very comfortable minibus trip punctuated by many very interesting stops.
Between tea break, camel ride, market visit, magnificent viewpoint, terrace meal and mountain hiking.
A busy day in the company of our guide always friendly, pedagogue and attentive to our questions.
Thank you for this experience.
Be careful to come equipped for mountain hiking because the path is very steep.

Beautiful scenery and experience - Everything about the trip was excellent and well organised. We all enjoyed the camel ride and the Berber lunch was very tasty. Our trek to the waterfall through the valley was beautiful albeit the men trying to get you to buy a rug or bracelet were somewhat annoying.
Our guide was so knowledgeable and lovely. Definitely would recommend this trip but remember to wear sturdy footwear as the waterfall path is a little tricky in places!!!

Best Day in Morocco!! - This excursion far exceeded our expectations. We cannot say enough amazing things about this experience. Our guide, Ismail was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Our driver made us feel safe at all times. The camels were sweet and well cared for. The lunch was so delicious. We learned a lot about the area and amazing culture. Every aspect of the day was wonderful and we have the best memories. This trip should be three times as much as they are charging. You will not be disappointed if you book this adventure. This was by far our favorite day so far in Morocco. We would recommend this trip to everyone!!!!

The best experience in Marrakech - I do not have enough good words to describe this experience. It was my best experience in Marrakech. The tour guide Mustafa aka Azeez is amazing, he contacted me a day before to confirm pick up and was right on time at the agreed location. He is fluent in English and French and communicated excellently with everyone switching between the 2 languages. The whole experience was well orchestrated and well planned all through, the food was great and plentiful too. Mustafa was kind enough to make an alternate arrangement for my dad who was not able to complete the experience. I can’t sing his praises enough and I would encourage anyone who visits Marrakech to go on this tour.

A fabulous experience - Fabulous and fun from start to finish. Beautiful scenery, shopping, camel ride, incredible lunch, walking in the mountains to a most beautiful waterfall, lots to do and see and not to be missed. Hamza couldn’t have been more helpful and ensured our group had the best day, and safely driven by Hicham, thankyou both!
I can highly recommend this day out to see and feel Morocco life, such a fabulous day!
