Wonderful Day In The Atlas Mountains

Brian_R, Oct 2025

This day trip was probably the best day of our Marakesh vacation! Driving through the Atlas Mountains was just amazing. Just beautiful scenery all around. This tour will give you a glimpse of the authentic Moroccan life. It was great to see how a traditional Berber family lives and to interact with them. The trek up the mountains to the waterfall was a bit challenging but certainly worth it. There are some amazing scenery and sites to experience in the area. Our driver Bob was very friendly and knowledgable about the places we hosted. We were traveling with two kids and he was very patient with us. The best part for the kids was the camel ride on the way back to Marrakesh. I highly recommend this tour!

This was a fantastic...

This was a fantastic experience, our driver was knowledgeable and adapted the journey to our needs. The car was clean and had good air conditioning. The Berber family home and brunch was lovely, the waterfall walk was challenging in places but manageable for anyone with average fitness. The waterfalls and the scenery were amazing. Our walking guide was local to the area and paced the hike well. There were plenty of photographic opportunities and the guide gave clear and informative information. The three course traditional Berber lunch was delicious and the setting by the river was colourful and enchanting. Visits to the potter and Argan oil cooperatives were very interesting. We finished with a dromedary camel ride. We. Opted for a shorter ride as we were a little nervous however we had no reason to be worried. The camels were clean and well looked after, and the owner was skilful and took some really good photos. We were picked up and dropped back at our hotel promptly and enjoyed a fantastic day.

A day in the mountains

A great day out in the mountains. The highlight was visiting the walk up to the waterfall with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The driver Tariq (apologies if I spelt this incorrectly) was very helpful and on time.

Average

Zachary_G, Apr 2024

It’s clear from the previous reviews Zakaria was a great guide, however ours was Ayoub. The privacy meant we were able to get from each destination efficiently and I suppose each spot was more high value (compared to groups). However we were fairly disappointed with our guide. We didn’t get any overview of the itinerary or much other information. We felt slightly anxious at times as he was on his phone a-lot, driving up a mountain! The tour itinerary was done backward and the 1.5h camel ride was a 15 minute stop on the side of the road. We didn’t ride them as we felt a little bad, 5 mothers with their children. We weren’t provided with blue scarfs as stated. The mountain climb was lovely and the lunch too - all included and we weren’t expected to tip however the waiter did try to charge us 200 diram. It would have only been 70 if we did have to pay! The cafe was also a tourist spot, there were some lovely local restaurants next door (which the itinerary suggested we’d be going to those). We also didn’t go to a local Berber home. No free water either so bring a bottle. We also waited for our driver to have breakfast, talk to security and wash his car. Overall, We expected a little more for the price to pay, didn’t get what was stated, however may be good if you’re in a large group.

Great trip to Atlas Mountains

Our driver Bob was very professional and friendly which made our experience really great. At the Atlas Mountains a local guide showed us around, I would highly recommend this trip.

Unieke ervaring - perfect geregeld

Mooie trip! Communicatie met Zakaria (driver) voor en tijdens de reis was perfect. Mede dankzij hem een meer dan geslaagde dag in het Altlasgebergte gehad.
