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.

An Unforgettable Desert Experience Made Special by Sami ✨🏜️
The whole desert experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We stayed in a deluxe tent, which was absolutely stunning, and the live entertainment was fantastic.
But for us, the person who really made the experience was Sami. He looked after my mum and me so well and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. He is such a genuinely lovely person and really made us feel welcome and cared for.
Even after the experience, Sami went out of his way to help us by arranging a taxi for my mum and me when we reached the drop-off point. Nothing was too much trouble for him.
Sami really does make the experience! We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Marrakech — an amazing experience and one we’ll remember for a long time. ✨🐪🏜️

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

Riding the camels through...
Riding the camels through the beautiful Agafay desert was an experience I’ll never forget! The dinner was incredible and the fire show was highly entertaining! We had an amazing guide, Abdo, who made the experience even better with his kind and friendly attitude.

Brilliant experience to see Atlas Mountains at sunrise.
Really magical experience- good communication day before and on the morning to confirm collection, and a very professional set up when we arrived. The pilot was great at explaining what would happen, what we needed to do on launch and landing and keeping us posted on our height and what we could see. Highly recommend.. we felt safe at all times

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.

Exceeded expectations and very attentive!
Just do this!! We had an amazing trip with Wallid and his driver Hassan. They were the best guides who gave us special attention. I was traveling with my somewhat elderly mother and they were very attentive. Very professional and great planners. The tour has a LOT of driving so be prepared for that. But they do stop around every 2 hours for an attraction, meal or bathroom break. The bus only holds 16 so the groups are small and we quickly became friends. The camel ride was something we’ll never forget. 1 hr sunset ride across a corner of the desert to camp where we got dinner and music. The next day starts at 5 am with breakfast and then we set out on the camel ride again to get back to the bus. Then up to Fes, but stopped to visit monkeys and “Switzerland”. Defining a highlight of our Moroccan adventure!!

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.
