I cannot recommend this trip high enough. The communication from the company beforehand was excellent. Our guide, Ismail, was very professional and friendly and he made us feel very welcome. His local knowledge was fantastic, as were his photography skills. The Atlas Mountains are beautiful and by taking the morning trip, the villages and waterfalls were quiet so we could really enjoy the experience.We booked the trip to the Atlas Mountains with our family and had a memorable day thanks to Ismail.

We booked the trip to the Atlas Mountains with our family and had a memorable day thanks to Ismail. He was very punctual and very friendly. We had some good laughs with him. Without him we wouldn’t have had such a beautiful trip. On the road to the Atlas Mountains we stopped by a woman cooperation and had a lovely start. We had the chance to drink tea and try some Argan oil. After that we bought some products of high quality but we didnt have the feeling that someone pressured us to buy something. Then we went on a hike in the Atlas Mountains which was something to always remember. It was such a nice view. And then we saw the other valleys and ate at a Berber family’s house. It was the best food we had in Marrakech. So delicious... Ismail was such a cool driver during the whole drive. He played some riddles with us and it was so much fun. Thanks for the beautiful day Ismail! We hope to see you again.Abdul collected us from the center of Marrakesh and we traveled in a comfortable and clean 4x4.

Abdul collected us from the center of Marrakesh and we traveled in a comfortable and clean 4x4. The drive was approximately 1 hour outside Marrakesh. We stopped at the Argan shop which was great to see how it was made (Beware the shop can be quite expensive). We traveled up the mountain and dropped off in a village at the foot of the mountain, the guide then took us up the Atlas mountain which was a good 90 minute hike up and down. We seen some amazing views and were treated to a cup of tea on the way down. We then drove back to Marrakesh. As out time was limited in Marrakesh this was the perfect entry level sightseeing tour of the Atlas Mountains, our host Abdul was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. He recommended bars, restaurants and sights in Marrakesh which was an added bonus. If we plan to return to Marrakesh we will defiantly contact Abdul to arrange a longer tour of the Atlas Mountains or trip elsewhere in Morocco. Thanks Abdul and company.This tour is the perfect amount of time! The tour guides were the kindest people! Our driver didn't even hesitate to pull over to let me help a limping puppy.

This tour is the perfect amount of time! The tour guides were the kindest people! Our driver didn't even hesitate to pull over to let me help a limping puppy. He was so knowledgeable about literally everything, so there was never a dull moment. Also, the SUV we were driven in was new and incredibly nice. They allow you to chose whether you want to see the Argon Oil commune, which we opted for. Our guide described the experience of seeing the women making Argon oil as "very human", which sums it up perfectly. They took special care to make sure that we were comfortable and didn't feel pressured. We were unsure of whether to do this excursion because there were no previous reviews. I am the happiest that we went because it was an incredible experience. PLUS! They take AMAZING pictures for you!
