Atlas Mountains adventure - Fantastic hike with amazing views at every turn. Our guide, Samir, was AWESOME! He was knowledgeable about the area, looked out for all members of our group, and was incredibly personable. I highly recommend any of the trips into the Atlas mountains with this team.

Three Days in the High Atlas: Dust, Sweat, and Sunburn - If you want to understand a place, really understand it, you have to walk it. Feel the dirt under your boots, the sun clawing at your skin, the wind cutting through your jacket like a dull knife, and the magnificent mountains dropping your jaw over and over. The High Atlas Mountains don’t just reveal themselves to you; they test you, wear you down, and, if you’re lucky, let you in. We started as strangers. Me and Rory, a pair of best friends catching up, joined by Frans and Sofie from The Netherlands and Myrna from the UK, all of who were doing their own wandering. Within ten minutes of the meeting, the mountains had done their work. Small talk gave way to shared laughs, conversations unspooled easily, and before long, we were sharing mints and tea like old friends. Something about the altitude strips away pretension, makes you honest. Maybe it’s the thin air, or maybe it’s just the fact that you’ve got little to no signal and no escape—only each other and the road ahead. Samir, our guide, was everything you want in a mountain man: calm, steady, the kind of guy who could probably survive out here with nothing but a knife and a good pair of boots. Then there was our cook (Abdulla), a quiet operator with simple skills and a donkey for company. He kept us fuelled on simple tagines and flatbread, the kind of food that under any other circumstances, might feel unremarkable. But up here, after hours of walking, it was energy-packed and appreciated. The mountains themselves? Brutal, rugged and beautiful in equal measure. Snow-capped peaks sliced into the sky, the sun burned fiercely by day, then disappeared into a freezing, endless night filled with unspoilt views of the stars. The villages—Imlil, Tinerhourhine, Aït Aïssa—felt like they had been there forever (except those damaged by the recent earthquake), stone and earth blending seamlessly into the landscape. It was humbling, walking through places where life carried on as it had for centuries, where people worked the land with their hands and lived by the rhythm of the seasons. Accommodations were exactly as they should be: simple, functional, no frills. You sleep where you sleep, and if you’re lucky, there’s a shower that’s more warm than cold. But that’s part of it. If you’re the kind of person who needs turn-down service and a pillow menu, this isn’t for you. If you’ve walked mountains before, if you understand that comfort is relative and the best sleep comes after a long day’s trek, then you’ll be fine. If there’s one thing I’d change, it’d be a deeper connection with the Berber communities we passed through. A chance to sit down, learn about their history, their traditions, their food—not just observe but truly engage and gain a little more insight. I’d pay more for that, especially if I knew the money was going where it should. And one last thing: if you’re booking this through some big platform, know that a chunk of what you pay never reaches the people making it happen. Tip your guide, tip your cook, and acknowledge the ones who make the journey possible. Because when the trek is over, when you’re back in the madness of Marrakech, drinking a beer and peeling off layers of dust and sunburn, you’ll realise that what made the trip wasn’t just the mountains. It was the people, the stories, the long silences broken by laughter. And maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll have left a little piece of yourself up there, tucked into the winding trails and the cold, star-soaked nights.

Ideal 3 day hike - We had a great time on our 3 day hike in the Atlas. Kamal was an exemplary guide: he set a good pace, he had great local knowledge of the area, and we even had a pitstop at his home for a mint tea on day 2. The mountain views were beautiful, particularly on Day 3. We travelled as two friends (male and female) with no hassle. Hassan cooked hearty meals for us each day. We had good accommodation on both nights. Bed linen and towels are provided. Although TripAdvisor technically "confirmed" our trip at the time of booking, we had no communication from our pick-up guy until 5 minutes before our scheduled pick-up, so bear that in mind while you're waiting! Overall, I'd definitely recommend

Great, knowledgeable... - Great, knowledgeable guides and amazing food to keep you going along the way. The views are as expected, absolutely unreal 🤌

Beautiful area with warm reception wherever we walked. - Fantastic 3 days of hiking in the stunning High Atlas mountains. Excellent guide, Idris, and wonderful chef Omar, with their trusty mule Jacqueline. Highly recommend …

Star Guide - Fantastic tour which seems incredibly cheap for the experience we had. We hit the jackpot with our Berber guide, Hussein, who is an absolute wealth of knowledge on Berber culture, and was the perfect guide in every way. I'll be recommending Hussein and this tour to everyone I know who is going on holiday in Morocco!

Friendly People - MR. Kamal is the best! He will take of everything for you! If you want to hike and enjoy Atlas Mountain, this is your stop. I hope you will spend time with Kamal

3 days through the villages of the Atlas Mountains - It was a very nice experience and the landscape was definitely breathtaking. It was well organized and everything was taken care of. In winter you should definitely pack lots of warm clothes for the evenings and nights. Our guide was very friendly. Be sure to pack hiking boots, the paths are sometimes very slippery and rocky. I wouldn't recommend it for inexperienced hikers.

Lovely trip - We had a wonderful time walking in the mountains! The evenings were such a vibe. The crew (Kamal, two Ibrahims and Youssef) made sure we had a lot of laughs! They provided us with delicious meals and snacks and ofcourse a lot of tea :) Would definitely recommend!!!

Were ripped off. On s’est fait arnaquer. - We booked the tour and got confirmation of the pickup time and location from the local operator, Marrakech Day Trips. However they did not show up and could not be reached by phone. After an hour and a half we called Viator customer service who offered to do the tour the next day. Then in the afternoon the tour operator called and asked why we had called him several times in the morning. When we (who had already been forced to find another hotel and had to change all our plans) explained that we were not picked up for our tour, he replied indifferently and without an apology or suggestion of compensation. The tour the next day didn‘t take place either because the local operator did not get in touch (neither with us nor with Viator). Until today we disappointingly did not receive a refund from Viator, we are now to continue to wait for a response from Marrakech Day Trips (but are still hoping to find a solution). All in all we have lost two vacation days and 270€ for nothing, with a side of frustration and stress. Offers of this organizer should not be trusted. On a réservé le tour et reçu une confirmation de l'heure et du lieu de ramassage de la part de l'organisateur, Marrakech Day Trips, mais celui-ci ne s'est pas présenté et n'était pas joignable par téléphone. Au bout d'une heure et demie, nous avons appelé le service client de Viator, qui nous a proposé de faire le tour le lendemain. L'après-midi, l'organisateur nous a enfin appelés pour nous demander pourquoi nous l'avions appelé plusieurs fois le matin. Il a répondu avec indifférence à l'explication qu’il n'était pas venu nous chercher pour notre tour, sans présenter d'excuses ni proposer de dédommagement. L'excursion du lendemain n'a pas eu lieu non plus, car l'organisateur ne s'est plus manifesté (ni auprès de nous ni auprès de Viator). Jusqu’à présent, nous n’avons pas reçu de remboursement de la part de Viator, ce qui est décevant, et nous devons continuer à attendre une réponse de Marrakech Day Trips. Nous avons donc perdu deux jours de vacances et 270€ pour rien du tout, ou plutôt pour de la frustration et du stress lors de nos vacances. Il vaut mieux de ne pas se fier aux offres de ce tour-opérateur.
