Don’t ever book with this company. Driver didn’t turn up and still waiting for my money back. No one is responding to my messages
Company did not arrive on the day and did not pick up the phone to us or ever try to make contact. Do not use this company
The day tour with Rachid in the mountains was at the end of our time in Marrakech and one of the highlights. After finding each other was a bit of a challenge (no problem) it became a fantastic day. Rachid has put together a very good, interesting mix and the whole day is filled. Whether Berber market (on Saturday), second, traditional breakfast, hiking, lunch or camel ride, everything worked out for us. All in all, it was an eventful, very successful day full of diverse impressions and experiences. Thanks a lot for this and we highly recommend this tour. Ali Baba
Rachid is an amazing and humorous tour guide- we learned a lot about the Berber culture, architecture and the importance of the small villages surrounding the atlas. He opened the door to his hometown and let us enjoy the homemade traditional food- which by the way was delicious. All in all this tour exceeded our expectations. Would absolutely recommend Rachid!
Everything on this excursion was so good; the views, stops, activities, food, the guide Rachid that took very well care of everyone - we (a couple, two kids 9 and 11 yes) can highly recommend it
