Great tour guide - Rabiaa was a fantastic tour guide - really lovely with the children and also super knowledgable and passionate about Morocco. The tour was okay - visiting a women’s cooperative was interesting but the waterfalls were quite underwhelming for us. The camel ride was fun! The highlight of the tour was the lunch with the Berber family which was delicious.

Unforgettable day out! - The Atlas Mountain and its Valleys' tour was FABULOUS! Samira, our guide, excellently guided us throughout each section of the tour by explaining, describing and updating us on various information as we went along. Samira, expounded on the history of the Berber people, their food and way of life. It was truly an awesome experience and we recommend it to anyone with similar interests.

Rabiaa is awesome - Rabiaa is the best! I learned so much about Berber culture and she kept us safe and informed the whole time. The best was her showing us the best rugs to get at the best price! Thank you Rabiaa for a great time ❤️

Perfect day in Morocco - My best friend and I were skeptical about this trip at first, but decided to do so despite the low price. (20.-Euro) We were sooooo positively surprised! Rabiaa our tour guide was really perfect and could not have done anything better! She adapted so much to our wishes and sometimes even changed the tour a bit! So super open, warm, nice, communicative and very funny! We all had such fun together and were very happy! It should only be remembered that the food costs an additional 7.- Euro! But must really say that it was just a perfect trip!🫶🏼 Thanks for the incredibly great time!

A very enjoyable day out... - A very enjoyable day out . Lovely drive through the city and up onto the mountains, stopping en route for a camel ride, dressed in traditional robes and headgear,included in the price. Lasted about 20 minutes and our group of 14 had a real laugh! The mint tea afterwards was lovely. Then a stop at the Berber village where we tried some amazing bread and dips & more tea! Then a chance to watch the local women grinding the nuts to make olive oil, argan oil and a nut dip. Onwards up the mountains with some lovely scenery where we went for the hike to the waterfall. It wasn't as spectacular as we were expecting but nice to see. Then onto the restaurant for lunch. The hike took around 90 minutes in total and there were some challenging moments. Lunch was ok. Then return journey. A lovely guide and a great group of people made it a educational and fun day out. Would recommend.

Great experience and value - Our guide Driss was very polite and friendly and had great knowledge of the history which was so interesting to hear about. Especially loved the berber breakfast & visit to the womens cooperative. It did get a bit cold in the mountains so would recommend bringing layers

Very satisfied - The day trip was great. The price-performance ratio was equally suitable. We were a cool troupe and Hicham and Rabia took so much time for us. We made some stops to take pictures. The two of them were very patient and we never felt that we would be under time pressure. We had the time we needed everywhere. Even at the end of the trip, when negotiations for a carpet were held for almost 1 hour, there was no pressure for the return. The route was very nice and we saw a lot of different landscapes. During the camel stop Rabiaa also told us interesting facts about the history & language of the Berbers. The lunch stop was very well selected and you had a good view of the mountains. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that in the text of the booking it was not clear that lunch is not included in the EUR 20, we received this information the night before the trip and I think you would have had no other choice. The Tangie (I think it was) was very delicious and the 70mad (about EUR 7) are definitely worth it. To the guides: Hicham was a very good driver and I felt comfortable. Rabiaa is a very open and warm personality, I appreciated her very much as a guide. The only thing left, although we had chosen the German language, was the whole trip in English. Didn't bother me further, as I understand English but there are certainly people who would dial German for a good reason. All in all a great experience.

Unprofessionell and unreliable - Absolutely unreliable, the guide simply doesn't show up, the customer service is non-existent, you are simply left standing for a booked day tour that you can probably only do once in your life. An absolute disgrace in a country that is supposed to be hospitable but obviously gives a xxx about its tourists. Book the tours with the street vendors who stand every 3m on the main square, at least they need the money.
