Unforgettable way to see the country
This tour is very much worth it. While there is a lot of time in the van (inevitable due to the distance), it's also a great way to see much more of the country, towns, villages, mountains, and desert along the way. I wasn't bored!
A few things to bear in mind:
Lunches aren't included and snacks at the stops are often expensive, so budget for an additional 400-500 dh. The lunch stops are practical in that they're fast: buffet or fixed menu, however that does of course influence their quality. One member of our group would go solo and find a cheap pizza nearby instead (smart). This isn't a gastronomical tour!
Our driver Mohammed was great, and crossing the desert by camel an absolute highlight. The camp was clean and comfortable (the deluxe option includes an enormous bed and ensuite bathroom), and the stars at night are stunning. It is of course mass tourism so don't expect to be alone out there – there were plenty of other camps in the vicinity.

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.

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.

Highly recommend trip.
Fantastic day. Punctual pick-up with great communication beforehand. Lovely air-conditioned minibus for the drive out into the desert. The guides were brilliant and had a great sense of humour, especially when other not so bright travellers were asking about the 'donkeys' (camels) 🤣
They made sure were well looked after and where we were supposed to be despite how busy it was. The quad biking is great fun (make sure you have a scarf and sunglasses for protection against the dust and sand) and the sunset views were spectacular. The food was really tasty and the sunset entertainment and fire show was captivating. A highly recommended trip with these guys.

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

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.

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.

Awesome Views
Absolutely fantastic day!!! Well organised from start to end.
The hike was harder than I expected but the guide was so helpful and I might have broken his fingers as I held on so tight lol.....the views were beautiful and definitely worth the hike.
The argan oil Co-op was very interesting too
A big thank you to our driver - Badr, he was so lovely and so interesting to talk to.

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!

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.
