Amazing Day from start to finish - Guide was amazing and told us so much about the history of Morocco.
Don’t think I have ever had a driver as careful as ours when negotiating bends on the mountains. He drove with extra care .
The lunch in the Berber village prepared by the locals was the best Tagine I have ever had and the hospitality we received was just lovely.
All in all a wonderful day to remember.
Thank you

Delicious lunch and beautiful scenery - We had Marwan as our guide and driver, who was super friendly and helpful, and spoke amazingly fluent English and French.
We were collected from the Medina as our Riad was only accessible on foot and the only criticism I'd have was that I had to follow up on this as I didn't receive any email or text to say where our meeting point would be beforehand.
The tour was really nice and personal, as we were a small group of 7 in a really comfy minibus.
We had plenty of stop offs for photos and the views were amazing, we were especially lucky with the weather, being clear blue skies and warm sunshine
The visit to the argon oil cooperative was really nice, no pressure whatsoever to buy anything. Tip - they do expect a negotiation on price if you do buy something :-)
Mint tea by the river in the first valley was nice, and I expect this would be amazing when the weather is hot.
The best part of the day was the lunch with the Berber family. It was absolutely delicious and we sat in the sun enjoying a really filling 3 course meal, with mint tea to follow, and chatting with the others on our trip
The walk before the lunch was essentially a walk along a really quiet mountain road, where we had time to take in the scenery, take photos and take the walk at our own pace. No special shoes or clothing needed for this. It seems this is a replacement for the hike to the waterfall which was considered dangerous since the earthquake
The day started at 8.30am and we got back around 4.45pm

Authentic Tour - Great tour with local (amazigh) guide, authentic meal with a lovely family, and a relaxing change from the hustle of the souks. Abdel and Hussain were excellent tour guides. My 15 year olds only complaint was the end of drive nap was not long enough.

Relaxation outside of busy Marrakech - We had a fantastic day touring the valleys of the Atlas Mountains. Abdel our guide provided really interesting insights into the lives and culture of the Berber people and made the trip really special. Lunch on a Berber house was a particular highlight - great hospitality and amazing food with views to die for. We’d highly recommend this trip - a completely different experience to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech

Beautiful day of quiet discovery - Beautiful day of discovery in the atlas with its snowy peaks, in a small group (7 people) with our guide Marwan, very kind. Marwan picked us up at our hotel, yet 20 minutes from the Medina and took us back there: a big plus! Visit to a women's cooperative for argan products with a very pleasant guide. Continuation with tea tasting on the edge of the Ourika then we were warmly welcomed for lunch in the 3rd valley in a traditional habitat, overlooking the valley where calm reigns. Lunch was delicious. The last two valleys have less interest.
This day allowed us to discover other landscapes of Morocco in a quieter atmosphere than that of Marrakech and enjoy once again the kindness of Moroccans.

Great day-trip - Great trip with the best guide Maruan. (Hope I didn't misspell the name!). We saw everything on the itinerary and had a great time. The day was relaxed, and went by quickly.
