Brilliant time.
A well organised tour, well worth the 3 hour journey, we were picked up not far from our Riad at 8.30am and had a stop half way through the journey for toilet and refreshments. Once we arrived we were past to our guide (Ejlaydy) who was great, he gave us some history of the area and Berber life on the journey down. It's a reasonable hike down the trail with lots of view points and things to see on the way including the monkeys, hint - take some fruit or tomatoes with you to feed them! Once at the waterfall base, we had a break so we could take photos etc and then took the boat ride which was so much fun! After this it is a upward hike via many many steps so be prepared! Around 3/4 of the way up we stopped for lunch over looking the falls, lunch was good and plenty of food, water was included but not other drinks. Over all well worth the money paid and would definitely recommend. Our driver Hicham was brilliant. One of the other guides even went into the waterfall to retrieve something I dropped from the bridge! Brilliant trip and staff.

Excellent Adventure!
Such a great value for a wonderful adventure! I was able to get picked up near my accomodation, even though it was a bit far. And had the best time with my group! We stopped and looked at locally made pottery, learned about argan oil, drank mint tea, then went on a gorgeous hike. For me, it was quite easy! Not much elevation gain, and only about two miles.
Then we stopped for lunch, something simple, and a drive to the camels, and back to the city. It was a full day, and so well-planned. I was shocked at all that we did in one trip! Highly recommend.

Worth it!
Our family had an incredible experience with Ilias as our tour guide! From start to finish, he was friendly and made sure everyone felt welcome and well taken care of.
The camel ride was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip. It was well organized, scenic, and so much fun for the whole family. The evening only got better with a spectacular dinner featuring delicious local cuisine, followed by an amazing fire show that was truly entertaining and memorable.
Thank you, Ilias, for making our time in Morocco so special. If you’re looking for a professional, kind, and engaging guide, we highly recommend Ilias. Five stars all the way!

This is a wonderful excursion and the best of our trip.
1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys was fantastic -the guide, Yasmine, could not have done more for us. We even ate a traditional meal in her grandmother's home.
Yasmine’s in-depth knowledge and pride in her country shone through.
Shukran/Thank you

Trip of a lifetime
This was a trip of a lifetime. Although the bus ride to the desert was very long our guides manage this extremely well with regular brakes and things to see in between. When we got to the desert, this experience was something that I will never forget it was truly a bucket list moments from then on

We had a fabulous time in...
We had a fabulous time in the overnight desert stay. It totally exceeded our expectations. The tents were very comfortable and more like secure cabins, with locked doors.
The setting was very scenic, everywhere was very clean and the entertainment was really good. (I'm not someone who often enjoys hotel entertainment 😁.)
The staff were very helpful, especially Sami, who even sorted out our transfer between cities the following day, as another company had cancelled our tickets.
Our daughter enjoyed the quad biking but there was no pressure to join the additional activities for those who just wished to relax.
I would really recommend this.

Three days in a van
Yazim our driver was wonderful, well versed and knowledgeable pick up and drop off were smooth and easy
The three day adventure included 3 lunch stops. Food was good at each but double what we normally pay which is disappointing
First nights accommodation was a holiday hotel. After trying a room with a broken bed, then a second with a broken AC we settled into a third room and went out to find dinner, having no faith in the hotels free 8:30 pm dinner. Their free breakfast continued to disappoint
The Sahara experience by contrast was a total delight. The camels, the sandbording, the accommodations all perfection. Dinner was late evening 9:00 pm. But that’s a function of sunset activities
Todgha Gorge is spectacular would have been fun to swim but time was limited. We did enjoy the walk.
Sit Zinbet is a very interesting location. Photogenic and historical. Unfortunately the local guide chose to give a long talk about movies in the middle of a dry river bed at 42 degrees in the sun which set the rest of the tour up for failure
Tinghir was a nice walk through some farm land followed by a rug sales pitch. Fortunately I was able to escape the rug sale and found a wonderful bakery where I spent a very pleasant half hour chatting with guides.
Overall the three days were well worth the price. The group was fun to hang out with and the Sahara exceeded all expectations

Wonderful day in Essaouira.
We had an excellent day and a highlight of our trip to Morocco. Our driver Badr was courteous and friendly (and shared his love of country and blues music which was an enjoyable surprise). We added the guided tour which really is a must if you want to be exposed to the history and culture of Essaouira. Our guide, Aziz, went out of his way to show us the lesser known parts of the city and made us feel like family. I highly recommend the tour.

Was a good experience....
Was a good experience. The team picked me up from my hotel and got to the place at a reasonable time. Had to adjust the timing due to Ramadan, wasn’t an issue.
The only thing I would say is that don’t expect any training on driving the quad bike, you literally just drive and go!

Amazing experience. Ait...
Amazing experience. Ait ben haddou is spectacular, an amazing place. The gorge was beautiful and the desert amazing. We went as a family and the kids loved it as well! Camel riding fun and enjoyed sand boarding. Amazing to go from the desert to sow covered Atlas moubtains in one day as well!

It was a nice day trip....
It was a nice day trip. Though it was a long drive for this activity, our driver Moussa took care of safe and pleasant driving. Our guide Yousef was knowledgeable and provided additional information on Berbers along with the waterfall activity including short boat ride.
