It was an amazing day trip out in nature, Hamza Lhipi our guide was very accommodating and warm. Highly recommend this activity!
Amazing experience! The hike was very pleasant and peaceful, we learned a lot! My boyfriend and I had a great time and couldn’t recommend it more.
Picked up bang on time, comfortable transport. Camel ride was fun, and more lovely mint tea. Then a spectacular drive through the mountains - loved the scenery. Nice Berber breakfast at women’s co-operative. Weather pretty grim, fresh snow on high atlas, and cold sleet rain in village. We decided not to hike, a little disappointed but it was the best decision! The hills will be there again😂 Our driver was great - the driving is wild compared to UK! And Abderazak our guide was great also - coping with large animated group on the same trip! And giving us a pretty great tour in his 4th language!

Amazing organization, amazing facilities, great team, freshest food, one of the best hikes I have ever experienced ..
Had a day trip to Atlas mountain few days ago. What an AMAZING experience. Absolutely Stunning views!!! After a nice walk we had a lunch at a local family's house - it was the best tagine I tried in Morocco!!! The local hiking guide, Khaled, is an amazing person, so kind and humble - would definitely recommend him and his English was very good as well.
Did Toubkal summit trip with those amazing guys, everything was arranged smoothly from the pickup at the hotel to the trekking part, staying at the refuge in the mountain till summiting - 5 stars rating for making it fun and easy - happy I have new friends now in Morocco
Ibrahim was a fantastic guide and we had an excellent day. We were a group of eight women wanting to experience a bit of the Atlas mountains and do some Moroccan cooking. We all really enjoyed ourselves, it was culturally interesting and it was a great contrast to Marrakesh. I would recommend booking with Ibrahim.
Unforgettable two days to Toubkal summit. The guide team was professional and supportive. Most importantly they are from the region itself and they have all the connection and experience to make such trip successful.
