We really enjoyed the day. Rahaoui was a wonderful driver. He informed us of the things we could see along the way without any pressure to stop if we didn't want to. And he made sure we could stop at the market on Saturday, although it was a little hard to park. Our house for walking and eating was also very competent and helpful.
Muchas gracias por su amable comentario. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron tanto del día y que la experiencia fue positiva en general. Nos complace especialmente saber que Rahaoui fue un conductor atento y profesional, ofreciéndoles información durante el trayecto sin presión y facilitando las paradas según sus preferencias. También nos alegra que la organización de la caminata y la comida haya sido de su agrado y que el equipo haya sido servicial y competente. Transmitiremos con mucho gusto sus palabras a todo el equipo, especialmente a Rahaoui. Esperamos poder recibirles nuevamente muy pronto con Click Excursions para otra experiencia igual de agradable.

Excellent mountain day trip! The driver was patient, courteous, and took us around comfortably all day. A great experience overall.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We are delighted to hear that your mountain day trip was excellent and that our driver made your journey comfortable and enjoyable. Your satisfaction means a lot to us.
Good trip away from Marrakech and the 40 degree heat! A welcome cooler visit to the lower mountains. Private car & driver Nour contacted us on WhatsApp before pick up at 9am at hotel. Arrived on time. Make sure you have data for the day to contact driver. Trip on Tuesday so not a full market in Asni however we enjoyed looking at the local life and traders on an 'off day' for say 30 mins stop. Expect to get put upon by locals selling trinkets. Good views of local life along the way with stops offered at usual selling spots. Imlil is a nice village with local and travelling tourists in mind. We did a 5k trek through the local paths/ roads using Komoot and not a guide. Note on this trip that a guide is not included in price. We walked up local paths which were quite steep and loose stone/ rocky. Not suitable for wheelchair, strollers or those unsure of footing. Paths take you to waterfalls where visitors/ local relax with a number of food and goods stalls along the way. Return along road for round trip or descend back on rocky path. Great views of villages Aroumd & Imlil plus mountains. One kid hassling for money but not a problem. Back in Imlil a nice cafe stop before pick up and return to Marrakech. Time was ours to manage so no rushing by driver. Contacted Nour when we were ready and he arrived to pick us up. An interesting day!
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the cooler mountains and discovering Asni and Imlil. Your notes on the self-guided trek will help future travelers. Nour will be happy to hear you appreciated his punctuality and communication. We hope to welcome you again soon! Azeddine Click Excursions
We made a day trip from Marrakech to the high Atlas with a walk with a local Berber guide. We had a private car available, we also made other interesting stops both for lunch and to learn about local customs, all well organized. We were very satisfied, the staff was very nice, is helpful.
Driver picked us up and we had a great drive to Imlil. The driver showed us around Asni on the way to see the Saturday market, which was neat. In Imlil, we found out that the tour operator did not plan and we had a completely different itinerary than the other two people who drove with us. Our tour was supposed to include a two hour hike, but then we were told once at Imlil that there was no guide included to show us where to go. The driver kindly went out of his way to help us find a local guide, which we paid out of pocket to give us the two hour hike we thought we were getting. Luckily, the guide was amazing but this hike would be impossible to not get lost without a guide… the operator needs to be more clear that this is to drive to Imlil only, and does not include a hike.
A great tour we highly recommend doing. You are picked up from your accomodation in the morning and get driven to Asni & Imlil, two beautiful towns in the mountains, with a c.2 hour hike to the waterfalls. Was breathtakingly beautiful. Our guide / driver was Imad, who was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. Lunch in Imlil was delicious and we could see the snowy peaks in the distance. Imad made sure we were comfortable and also took us around the Berber market as it was a Saturday. An absolute highlight of the trip! Highly recommend.
