I had a fantastic day exploring the Atlas Mountains and would definitely recommend this experience. Sharaf made sure to customise the trip around my preferences and requirements and delivered a very professional tour of the area. I got a very genuine experience of the culture and saw some amazing sights which I will remember forever, definitely the highlight of my trip!

This was the first trip to Morocco for myself, my Mum and sister, and we had been recommended the tour by one of my friends who had recently visited Marrakech. Our driver, Sharif, arrived early and politely waited for us to finish breakfast before taking us out. He was an extremely friendly driver, and chatted to us during most of the journey about the country and different attractions to visit. His driving was extremely smooth and comfortable. We stopped off at different places, including a pottery shop, argan oil production house, and a Berber family home, which all gave us a really good insight into the culture. We then met with another guide who took us up the mountains, making sure that we were safe and comfortable at all times as it’s quite a tough climb! The views of the waterfalls were such a unique experience - nothing will ever match it! We were then driven back home, and given the option to stop off at other places if we wanted. It was an absolutely amazing experience for the three of us, and I’d highly recommend this company. Thank you so much to the wonderful tour guides!

We were a group of 12 ladies and were picked up by Abdul and his driver a short walk from out Riad. We travelled in a very clean and comfortable mini bus up to the Berber village, stopping a couple of times at local cooperatives selling souvenirs, carpets and pottery. On arrival at the Berber house, we were welcomed by the family to have look around. We had bread and sweet mint tea and learned how the Berbers live. Another short drive to the spot where we met our mountain guide, Mohammed, and where we would start to climb the mountain to the waterfall. 3 members of our party remained in the village while the rest of us took the challlenge, and it is a challenge, to climb the steep rocks and cross the streams by makeshift bridges, Mohammed was excellent and made sure we were all safe, pulling us up where we needed help. Our ages ranged from 20’s to 80’s and we all made it up to the waterfall and down the other side. Lunch was included, which was the best meal we had all weekend...there was a choice but I had Moroccan salad, mixed scewers with rice, chocolate mousse. We then started the journey back in the mini bus but stopped for a sunset camel ride on the way back. Abdul was informative and great fun and we all laughed a lot on the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Abdul and Mohammed for making it such a great day and for keeping us safe! X

The driver and guide were very competent and attentive. The guide explained us what we were going to do and visit. Also he mention several time that any place that we were going we did not have to buy absolutely anything, only if we wish so. We visit a little workshop where they did ceramics so we could see how it's done, also we visit a shop where they sell amazing traditional tapestry and also a Berber house where they offer us a beautiful and simple breakfast. After that we went to another shop so we could see how the Argan Oil is made wish is very interesting. The hike was lead by another guide, a gentleman born and raised in that town that was very kind and told us several stories. I highly recommend this visit. We really enjoyed it.

<p>We were picked up at our hotel but our driver spoke very little English so we did not get any commentary about where we were going or about the mountains or the lifestyle there. The visit to the Berber house was very enjoyable because of the guy who took us around. No snacks or drinks were offered. A nice day out but disappointing in many ways.</p>
