Our guide Hamid and his driver made us spend a very good day in the Atlas mountains of Marrakech. Excursion that goes beyond the usual, but that we recommend to anyone and especially for the treatment we receive from the Berbere people.
I was not picked up! I called the company a few times they said they were waiting to contact their agent and they would advise me about the trip the next day! Still no response and no refund or email confirmation about the missed pick up and no apology. They could have set me up for the following day but still I have not heard from them. ITS BEEN A RUINED VACATION DAY !!!!!!!!!
We waited 1h30 instead of appointment , we contacted the online support.The person gave us the number of the tour operator (this number did not answer). And hop ended more communication with the audience.. So not, starting and changing programs...
The Tour operator did not show up to pick us up not even contacted ua back when we sent multiple messages. What a disappointment. Good thing we had opportunity for a different tour with a different operator who was amazing. Beware of this operator. Refused to even reply to all my messages
No one turned up to collect us at the pick up point. We called, messaged and asked every tour bus. Left messages on answerphone. We arrive 820 for 9 am pick up and now leaving at 1030. No calls or messages returned
This day trip deserves a 10/10 and I recommend it 100%! We had made a reservation for our group of friends of 9 people and were able to arrange a pick-up location close to our accommodation. Mustapha is a modest, friendly and hospitable man and a very nice guide. He speaks clear English and told us a lot about the history, culture, local people, traditions, daily life,... It is an ideal day trip as a tourist that feels like a unique authentic experience. We visited a small-scale argan cooperative and received some tastings, nice explanations and interesting products... we made a few stops with beautiful views. we were warmly welcomed with a good lunch and a fantastic panorama. We walked for about 1.5 hours in beautiful nature to a small waterfall (you will need a bit of fitness...) and we ended with a camel ride with entertaining photographers who gave us fantastic images. Everyone in our group loved this day. Everything we saw today was really interesting and nice and that is largely thanks to Mustapha. Thanks a lot!
It was very very good! The host Mustafa was just amazing, he speaks very good English, is very helpful, a lot of info, very correct and humble. Hospitality at the village was just amazing. I strongly recommend. Visar, Kosovo-Belgium

It was an amazing experience! Mustafa was our guide and he was so sweet and generous. Everything that he talked about was so interesting ! I would really recommend this trip ! It was worth our money, really !🩷
