Wonderful experience thanks to our guides — younes and omar. Friendly, professional, caring guides who provide a safe and amusing trip. Came across some of the most beautiful sights the area has to offer!Would highly recommend !
We had beautiful day trip around Imlil with our excellent guide Rachid Jellah. Great hike and delicious food. Thank you! Jana, Martin, Natasa and Maros
Everything was well organised. Driver Iounis was calm and safe and informative. Our guide Ibrahim went at a sensible pace. The walk of 8k was beautiful with good views of snowy Atlas up above. A good meal at the end on a terrace with lovely view. No real criticism
This tour seems to focus heavily on upselling, which detracted from the overall hiking experience. While the scenery was lovely, the actual hiking time was around 2.5 hours, and we made several stops at shops and marketplaces. If you're looking for a more immersive experience, I’d recommend opting for longer hikes that focus more on nature.
A great day out that started being picked up from our Riad in Marrakech by the lovely driver Kareem, who drove us up to the starting point for the hike (about an hour or so drive). There we met our guide Ibrahim, who took us out for the day. He saw that we were relatively fit as a couple so suggested we did a different walk than the normal one so that we could see the best views, and the harder walk was definitely worth it! We ate our packed lunches at the peak, and enjoyed the stunning views. On our way back down from the top, we stopped for some mint tea at Ibrahim's house in the village we passed through, and then saw the waterfalls on our way back to the meeting point to drive back to Marrakech. All in all, we were hiking for around 4-5 hours, so a great option for a day out from Marrakech. The terrain was quite rugged in places, so would definitely recommend sturdy shoess/boots. Thank you again to everyone at Toubkal Guide!
Just back from a days excursion and trek in the high atlas, 5 hour trek was wonderful and Youness and Hassan from Toubkal guides could not have been more helpful, a wonderful experience that I would recommend and I look forward to my next trip next time I’m in Morocco
We had a great time with Ibrahim our driver, he's full of information and good company. A really good day, hopefully we'll have another trip with him next time we visit.
Great trip to the Atlas mountains with a private driver - Lahcen was very kind and had I a comfortable nap in the car on the drive back haha! Our guide for the hike, Mohammed, was excellent and would recommend him for any tour!
Mohammed Amzil (guide) and Hassan (driver) we’re very professional, informative and friendly. Good day trip but some of the trekking is tricky so please wear sensible shoes!!!!
Enjoyed a fantastic trip up the wonderful Mount Toubkal. Enjoyed great company with fantastic views all the way from camp to the summit. The trip was topped off with a excellent guide Mohammad sorkozy who guided us along the way. He has excellent knowledge of the mountains as well as bringing a friendly positive attitude at all times. Would highly recommend guaranteed memories that will last a lifetime.
