Our driver was prompt and stopped for photo opportunities along the way to the Atlas Mountains. Our hiking guide was fantastic and truly tailored our hike to our ability and speed. His home for a tasty lunch after the hike was lovely and well worth the additional cost.

Excellent - would thoroughly recommend.

This is a great trip. informative, fun and definitely worth doing. The trip lasted 10 hours. The market which runs on a Tuesday was very interesting. The lunch included was also very good. Nezha our tour guide was a local to the Atlas Mointains and she was brilliant.

Marrakech: Private Guided Half-Day City Tour

Suzi_C, Apr 2026

A great curated tour, with smooth & easy transport.

We had a great, private tour with our guide Ayoub and our driver Mustafa. Ayoub was hugely knowledgeable as he took us on our half day tour. The visit to the Majorelle Gardens was a particular highlight; a calm oasis in the city. Mustafa skilfully drove us around, dropping and collecting us at our various stops. It made the morning really easy and relaxing. Ayoub was a delight to spend time with; a calm and gentle man. Thank you for a great tour.

The pickup was well co-ordinated. The guide Jamaal made our journey enjoyable and comfortable. The viewpoint for the Atlas mountains was lovely. The 1.5hr trek to the waterfall was also enjoyable and the guides were helpful and assisted persons throughout the trek. The riverside cafe was nice, and would have been nicer except for the flies. Overall an enjoyable day well spent.

Vicky_C, Apr 2026

Amazing!

The excursion was amazing! We traveled as a family with our two sons (aged 6 and 8). Our tour guide Redouane was very informative, helpful and very passionate about his village on the Atlas mountains, his people and where he is from. We all enjoyed the hike to the waterfalls and the lunch on the rooftop was lovely! Both our sons loved the camel ride too! Highly recommend this tour operator and Redouane.

Jennifer_N, Apr 2026

Beautiful tour with tons of nature and Berber culture.

We had an amazing day in the mountains with Ismail. We saw the beautiful five valleys, tons of nature and enjoyed breakfast, lunch, tea and coffee in scenic settings. The lunch was cooked by two Berber women and served on a rooftop overlooking a valley. This was the best food we’ve had on our trip so far. Highly recommend this tour.

Mohammed our guide and Nabil Our driver were very helpful. The visit to the botanical garden was lovely. The paradise valley was very beautiful and we hiked along the side of the mountains with Mohammed by our side to guide us. It was amazing and would definitely recommend.

Agafay Desert Sunset and Camel Ride with Dinner from Marrakech

Z_N, Mar 2026

Wonderful Family Evening in Agafay Desert

Today we went on an Agafay Desert dinner and camel ride experience as a family (2 adults, a 5-year-old, and a 10-month-old), and we really enjoyed it. It was definitely good value for money and time well spent. Our guide and coordinator, Khadija El Bahi, contacted us in advance and shared the pickup details. Fortunately, the pickup point was right next to our hotel in Marrakech city centre, which was very convenient. Pickup was on time, and the drive to the Agafay Desert took about 45 minutes. We stopped at an argan oil production area for a short break, where we were offered tea and light snacks. The Agafay Desert itself is not a sandy desert but a rocky, mountainous landscape, which was still very beautiful and unique. The camel ride was a highlight for us, especially since it was our first time. Although it lasted around 10 minutes, it felt sufficient for the experience, especially with young children. There were also quad bike rides available, but we chose not to participate as we were traveling with an infant. Afterward, we were served a three-course meal, followed by music and a night show with the Atlas Mountains in the background, which made the experience even more special. Overall, we spent about 5 hours on this trip and were very satisfied. The only downside was that the transport vehicle was not air-conditioned, even though it was mentioned in the booking. This made the journey to the desert a bit uncomfortable, especially during the day. The return journey was fine due to the cooler night temperature. A special mention to Khadija El Bahi, who was very helpful and attentive throughout, making sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, a very positive experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to spend a few relaxing hours away from the busy city of Marrakech.

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.

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

Argy_S, Nov 2025

Highly recommended trip to Essaouira

Wonderful experience. Edam was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable. Car was comfortable with air conditioning, clean. We stopped at interesting road stops for coffee, they were tourist friendly. Zaid was our tour guide in the city. He was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the city, the Muslim religion, and the cultures of Morocco. He catered the tour to our interests, including architecture and culture, to name a few. The city is beautiful, but we were able to appreciate another historical and cultural level thanks to Zaid.

Full-Day Ouzoud Waterfalls Tour from Marrakech with Boat Ride

Jordan_H, Jun 2025

Waterfalls and Monkeys - excellent

All in all very good excursion, especially comparing it to the price with the travel agents. Our driver was lovely and told us the plan as we left and brought us back to the hotel too. The guide at the falls Mohammed was great, very chatty and answered our questions. He grew up there so he knows a lot. The spot you stop at for lunch is brilliant and very well priced. Added bonus they don’t charge for the water. The included boat trip was fun, though short but not much to see and we got a fantastic video taken by the driver. The monkeys are near the end of the excursion and if you don’t hold any food they don’t bother you at all. Would really recommend this one.
