The experience was very good . The tour guide was very helpful . He allowed us to have a real insight of the Atlas mountains by showing us the daily lives of the local people . Thank you
My husband and I and our girls aged 11 and 14 went today with Lahcen and it was amazing. The pick-up was well organized. Lahcen was very good in providing information. The hike was nice, be prepared for some physical activity, however it was duable. Best part of the day for us was the lunch in his aunts house, the tajine and couscous were really amazing. Definately something to book when you want to explore something else. One little thing is that we thought that the bus driver was driving a little bit too fast in the Mountains, especially on our way back. Other than that a big 5!
Had an incredible day food at the end of the day was superb driver and guide were excellence top marks 100% all the way..
The trip was really nice, and we really enjoyed the camel ride, although we wish it had been in a more beautiful area, with less traffic and dirt roads. We also really enjoyed visiting the women’s cooperative. We felt like we learned a lot and, unlike some other experiences we’ve had, it didn’t feel overly commercial or focused on selling things. The lunch was incredible, and we really enjoyed the beautiful views and the delicious food prepared by the family. It was a very hot day, so it was difficult to keep up with the guide Lamia at some points, but she was always very helpful and patient with everyone. Overall, it was a really great experience, and we would definitely recommend it!
Lahcen was an absolutely amazing tour guide showing us his village, his home, the beauty of the culture and foods and the atlas mountains. He was so patient and very detailed and intentional in all he did! The breakfast although light was so good! Lunch was authentic moroccan food.
A very beautiful experience! Jawad is an exceptional guide, very kind, welcoming, and passionate. The whole team was smiling, attentive, and very professional. The meal was delicious, hearty, and prepared with care. We were very well welcomed from start to finish. I recommend this excursion 100%. Thanks again to Jawad and his whole team for this magnificent day 🫶🏼
We had a fantastic day (children 12 and 14) with our guide Lamia. Smooth pickup and good communication, camel ride, stopped at villages with snippets of Moroccan history from Lamis and photo opportunities along the way. The lunch at Lamia's grandmother's house was one of the best meals we had during our holiday, awesome views and then a walk to the waterfalls and back to the minibus. Others in the group found the walk quite strenuous, but with reasonable fitness we were fine. Such a great experience and contrast from the busy city!
We had an incredible day trip with Lamia! From start to finish, everything was well-organized. The camel ride was a fun and unique start, and visiting the traditional argan oil cooperative to see how it's made was really interesting. Heading into the Atlas Mountains, the scenery was breathtaking, and Lamia paced the hike to the waterfall perfectly so we never felt rushed. Lunch was delicious, fresh, and a great authentic experience. Lamia was warm, knowledgeable, and took great care of our group. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Jawad is a fantastic tour guide, attentive and informed about the culture. Food was lovely and the kids enjoyed the camel ride. Everything was organised well and everyone we met was very friendly especially the guide Jawad. The women’s co operative was a good experience to see the local women producing argan oil.
Lahcen Mansouri, was a wonderful tour guide.
