From Marrakech To Essaouira Mogador Full Day Trip | Small-group

Jessica_I, Sep 2026

Long drive but worth it

A long but worthwhile day. The driver Jamal was wonderful and our guide Anas was very good at explaining what would come next. And the surprise at the end of the ride was great. ;). The van was comfortable and well air conditioned and the stop at the cafe about half way was very nice and clean. I had Moroccan pancakes and they were fantastic. The day in Essaouira was lovely -it’s coastal so there is beach and a cool breeze. Then there is the Medina and the old fort. It’s a great way to spend the day.

This tour was an amazing way to see the Atlas Mountains. Our guide, Yasmin, made the experience with her excellent knowledge, enthusiasm and made the experience very personal.

It was a wonderful and pleasure experience from start to finish. Ismail was the best guide. He is very knowledgeable and has the kindest heart. I would highly recommend this tour if you want beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains and the valleys within. Also, if you want to see how the indigenous people live and experience a delicious authentic home cooked meal at a local family’s home, again this is the tour for you.

A wonderful tour with a wonderful guide

Guide Mustafa and driver Ishmael arrived promptly in a clean, air conditioned vehicle. We enjoyed the tour and learning all about the gardens, the mosque, and the spices at the Souk. Mustafa is very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Ishmael drove very safely in crazy traffic. We would definitely recommend them.

Perfect Day Trip to Mountains

Lovely full day tour to Atlas Mountains. Fatima was our guide and paced the trip well for everyone. We started with a tra and camel ride stop and then ventured to the Women’s Cooperative in the mountains. There we learned about the Argon nuts and the different techniques to produce cosmetic and consumable argon oil. From there we continued on to Imlil. Here we stopped for a wonderful hike up to the waterfall and a yummy tagine lunch. On the way home we stopped at another Berber village where Fatima talked about the different Berber tribes and the effects of the 2023 earthquake.

Would definitely recommend.

Ouarzazate Day Trip: Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah & Atlas Film Studios

Katie_T, Jun 2026

Well worth it!

This was by far our best excursion of our trip to Marrakesh. It is a very long mini bus trip, but it is so worth it. Our guide Rachid and driver Ahmed were very good! We were picked up at 07:05 from a nearby pick up point to our Riad (communication for this was excellent). We were the last pick up, so we’re straight on our way from there. We stopped just after an hour for the toilet and coffee. Then not long after we pulled in for the Atlas Mountain View (10/10) point. Then another stop for breakfast and the toilet about 30mins-1hr before arrival at Aït Benhaddou. We had 1hr15 exploring on our own there which was the perfect amount of time. Our guide Rachid dropped us at a perfect point so we didn’t have to pay the locals fee of 20MAD to enter (it is free to enter from the big bridge where we came in). Then we moved off to Ouarzazate for lunch. We all went into the restaurant as guided by Rachid, but this restaurant (Restaurant Lakasbah Etoile) only offered a set 3 course menu for 130 MAD with a few choices but we only wanted a light lunch that wasn’t an option. As this was an extra cost to us, we didn’t feel we wanted to pay this much and waste it, so politely asked Rachid if we could find somewhere else on our own. He was understanding but made it clear that other restaurants hadn’t been checked by them so couldn’t guarantee the quality. We found a spot just down the road to have a lighter lunch (just fries) and met back at the bus on time. The final stop at Atlas studios was an optional visit, which we chose to participate in whilst others went to a coffee shop. We knew the cost would be extra and 80 MAD wasn’t too bad at all. We really enjoyed the studio’s and were given the perfect amount of time to explore it (1hr). The drive back had just one stop, so be aware it’s about 1.5hrs until you reach a toilet stop, but this wasn’t a problem for us. Overall, a really good day! Hope this detail helps others ☺️

Unforgettable!

Mustafa was the perfect host and guide, we had an unforgettable experience, the highlight being the visit to Mustafa’s family home where we met his Mother and were served a beautiful meal. Mustafa was so full of knowledge and interesting information and spoke passionately about his culture. If you want an authentic experience o would highly recommend this trip.

Agafay Desert Sunset and Camel Ride with Dinner from Marrakech

Elena_C, May 2026

Wonderful sunset dinner and camel ride experience!

My group and I loved this experience SO much! We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip and extremely special. Our tour guide, Hind, was amazingly helpful in making sure we were picked up from the right location, accounted for at all times, and having fun! She took great care of us and wrapped my pashmina at least three times with no complaints. Hind took the best pictures, was friendly to walk to, and let me play music in the car! The camel ride and ATV drive were both very fun. I felt safe, while still letting loose! There were guides along the paths to help with any issues that came up along the ride. Everyone was kind and patient. The dinner included in the excursion was the best Moroccan food I’ve ever had! We made friends with other young people during dinner and hung out with them for the fire show at the end of the night. All my friends agreed that this night was a core memory for us. We could not recommend this excursion more! The price, experience, and hospitality were unbeatable. A MUST DO when traveling to Morocco. Please choose this excursion!

Marrakech High Atlas mountains 3 Valleys waterfalls & Camel Ride

John_W, Mar 2026

Awesome trip

This was really a full day trip, what I thought was going to be about 4/5 hours turned into a full day. Mustapha who was our host was great, kept in touch before hand with collection details and was there on time, he told us the plan for the day and what to expect. 2st we did the camel ride which was very good and well organised, the camel guys took lots of pics and videos for us and nothing was too much trouble. Then we went off into the hills for lunch and despite being a bit wary of it, it turned out to be delicious, great location looking into the Atlas mountains which still had some snow on them, bright sunny day and good food, was really a great experience. We then drove for a while until we reached the area before the waterfall, after a 30 mins walk/hike we found a fantastic waterfall which was really quite strong. a 30 mins walk back and then the hour or so drive home. If you want to escape the madness of Marrakesh for a few hours I would highly recommend this trip.
