Ouzid waterfalls - We were greeted by a lovley tour guide Bilie whom . The hike was tricky in areas due to the terrain underfoot stones and steps but Billie was amazing from start to finish. A great tour guide informative with an abundance of history and knowledge. He ensured we were all safe and was patient and helpful throughout. The waterfalls were amazing and although tricky to negotiate at times underfoot we felt supported and glad we did the tour. Billie you really were out hero for the day and made our trip very special. Thankyou highly recommended

Amazing trip to discover Amazigh culture in the mountains! - Really enjoyed this incredibly fun and informative trip into the Atlas Mountains. We were collected from our accommodation, transport was excellent and very comfortable, driver was lovely. We arrived in Imlil and Samir gave us a magnificent tour and a good walk around the surrounding villages, showing us the most incredible spots. We then went for a delicious home cooked Amazigh meal at Samir's house. Samir is a great guy, really funny and very knowledgable about the region and his language skills are so impressive! Can't recommend this enough, if you want to see the Atlas Mountains, this is a fantastic experience and they take care of you impeccably!

Friendly Local Guide, great views, great knowledge. - We did a day experience hike in the Atlas, through Berber villages and into the mountains.
It was a fantastic day filled with great learning and fantastic views.
Our guide Samir was very knowledgeable and passionate, he shared his wealth of local knowledge and was very engaging in doing so! He knew the area very well and made us feel in very good hands. He is clearly a popular man in the area as he knew all farmers, families and other guides we past. The pace was good for the hike, the lunch was filling and yum!
I did this trip as a day experience from Marrakech and would recommend to anyone to use Samir. I plan on returning for a trip specifically to the Atlas Mountains and will be in touch with Samir to sort this!

A terrific day tour! - We had a great day on this tour!
The day started with a camel ride in the Agafay desert.
We were given lunch soon after. It was a great meal with stunning views of the Atlas mountains.
Following this we were given a tour of his Berber village and had the delight of meeting his family. They were very welcoming and were happy to talk about their culture and day to day life.
To close the day, we were given a long walking tour of the local area.
Our tour guide Idriss speaks spectacular English and is well versed about the village and the area around it. He's also very friendly. I would happily recommend the tour!

The valley of ourika was beautiful..I think we came across the wrong driver or the right gu - Gorgeous ourika valley, small hike to reach the top of the waterfall..it's worth the climb..!
Driver who fogs a Hello and our discussion ended the...
dangerous driving..half laps in full 4 lanes, it got lost in Marrakech to bring us back to the hotel we did 30 minutes of turn and detour extra to find our way back..1h drive announced we took 2h30 round trip and return
Little talkative guide he did not explain much to us but he remained very benevolent on the climb to avoid slips in the pebbles
