WONDERFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE GUIDE - Although advertised as a half-day excursion, this trip to the Atlas mountains was very relaxed with no time pressure, and was a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The time with our guide, Abdul, was the highlight of our visit to Marrakech. His impressive knowledge of the history of Morocco is matched only by his enthusiasm to inform and educate his clients.

A wonderful trip - Such a lovely half day tour with Abdul. He was so knowledgeable and we learnt so much in the time that we spent with him - a truly fantastic guide! The breakfast was lovely in the Berber village and it was amazing to see how argan oil is made. Would fully recommend to anyone wanting a short visit to the Atlas Mountains.

Amazing food knowledge sights culture - Absolutely fantastic day learning so much about the indigenous culture of the Berber people . Manwar our driver was so knowledgeable ( a Berber himself) and told us all about the culture . We ate a fantastic authentic meal in a Berber house whilst onlooking an amazing view of the mountains and surrounding landscape. I would highly recommend this trip

Really enjoyable morning - Abdul our guide was perfect. We chose the smaller tour and we were a group of 3 and there was 1 other couple. Going early in the day avoids the crowds especially at the weekend. We leant a lot about the region and people and loved the women Co operative making argan oil. It was cooler in the mountains and you need robust shoes as the walk to the waterfall is all up and rugged need to be quite fit. It’s one hr to get up and back. Even if u don’t go up to the waterfall it’s worth it. Our tour was about 5 hrs

Great half day mountain excursion - Great half day trip into the mountains, our guide Abdul was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a unique insight into the lives of the Berbers. Breakfast was delicious at the women’s cooperative and we enjoyed talking to the ladies there very much. Would thoroughly recommend this trip, especially if you are short of time but still want to see Morocco outside of the city limits.

Escape the busy town of Marrakech - We escaped the busy town of Marrekech on a tour of the atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley.
It didn't disappoint! It wasn't our drivers usual job as he was covering for a ill family member. We wouldn't have known if he didn't say. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information along the way.
Lots of chances to try local produce and photo opportunities along the way.
Would definitely recommend you take this tour whilst visiting Marrekech!
