Day trip to the Atlas Mountains

17young1, Feb 2023

This tour was different than what we expected, but enjoyable, and our tour guides were friendly and professional. The drive to the Atlas Mountains was long, which we expected. However, we were surprised at the amount of uninterrupted driving and would have preferred more stops to explore the towns we drove through and to do some light shopping. We made one stop early in the trip for a brief camel ride and didn't stop again till reaching the town (Imlil?) where we had lunch, which turned out to be our final destination. The lunch was delicious, and we were surrounded by snowcapped mountains. After lunch, we walked/hiked to a nearby waterfall. We had the opportunity to stop at once store, and then as we got closer to the waterfall, there were many locals with small kiosks with various types of goods for sale e.g., jewelry, scarves, food, etc. Some of the vendors were incredibly pushy, going so far as to follow my husband from the kiosk to the waterfall and back, trying to sell him silver bracelets, after I'd already told him that I didn't wear them. Most people were gracious if we declined to purchase something, but in this location, there were many that were just over the top, which really diminished our enjoyment at that point. This all happened away from our guides, so I don't fault them at all. And, I understand that there are cultural differences in how goods are sold, and that it's important to support the local economy. It was just too much. Overall, we were happy with the tour, especially at the price point, but be prepared for the onslaught of vendors once you approach the waterfalls.

Amazing value day trip!

Our highlight of our stay in Marrakesh! Jamal and Mohammed were both amazing guides - we found it so interesting and both were so knowledgable. The food we had for lunch was the best food we had throughout our whole stay - proper tagine!! Amazing value trip for what you get. We saw so much in one day. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore!

Fantastic tour to the Atlas mout

Uzo, Oct 2021

This is one of the best tours I have ever gone on. The tour guide Ibrahim was fantastic in every aspect; prompt, polite and knowledgeable. The highlight of the tour to me was the delicious lunch Ibrahim’s mom prepared for us in his family home in the Berber village. That veritable feast was the most delicious meal I had my entire trip to Morocco. The tour bus was clean and comfortable and Ibrahim did not try to take us to places where we would be compelled to buy something like most tours do. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in a genuine Berber experience to the Atlas Mountains. Thank you Ibrahim for such a wonderful day.

Une journée magique

Patrice_F, Mar 2022

Une organisation parfaite. Ibrahim est particulièrement prévenant, tous les détails sont pensés pour passer une belle journée. Comme nous étions samedi, nous avons commencé par une visite du soukh Berbère, déjeuner dans sa famille puis très belle randonnée vers les cascades au dessus d'Imlil. Et ce n'est pas fini : retour via le désert d'Agafay, promenade à dos de chameau 🐫 visite de la ferme, nous avons même assisté à la naissance d'un chameau. Bref une journée très complète, qui donne l'impression de vivre bien plus qu'une journée. De surcroît, le chauffeur est top. Bref, à réserver sans l'ombre d'une hésitation !

Excursion parfaite

Maurelle_K, Jul 2021

Meilleure excursion de ma vie (à ce jour). Moustapha le guide a été juste parfait. Il s’est impliqué dans la visite et nous a fait découvrir des endroits aussi beaux les uns que les autres. Nous avons également rencontré sa famille et passé la soirée ensemble à admirer le coucher du soleil dans le désert. Je vous souhaite de tomber sur ce guide lors de votre excursion.
