Book the trip, go on the adventure, because this one is really worth it! We had a lovely little trip, even though we chose the one day it was actually cold and raining and still everyone loved it. The tour guide was very helpful, articulate, had a lot of interesting stories to tell about Berber life and the tour really gave a unique insight in to the life in the mountains, the villages, the organ initiatives and many more. The hike was adventurous with stunning views (pack good shoes as its gonna be slippery at times!) and the food (vegetarian options available) was delicious, the camel ride shot but fun and all in all the offer was exceptionable for the price!
A beautiful visit to this country. We caught plenty of eyes during this little hike. A big thank you to Mustapha who was great, took the time to explain a lot to us, a person who likes to put full ears. I was a little dizzy. He knew how to trust me and sadden me by telling me anecdotes to make me laugh. A big thank you to him for helping my gazelle crapahute up the climbs and to top it all off we were lucky enough to see a monkey at the end of the route Marc and virginia
We did this excursion with Omar. A better guide we couldn’t wish for. He is very knowledgeable, talking from his own experience since he grew up in this area. He speaks very good English and above all he was very caring, always helping us with different issues, whether it was a camel riding, looking for toilets or hiking. Always one step ahead , before we asked him. We were 16 people in our group.
Enjoyable trip to the Atlas mountains. Small group size (14 in total), knowledgeable guide and lovely lunch. Would highly recommend this tour. I was looking for a group tour as I am a solo traveller, group size was perfect with the opportunity to meet all the other travellers.
This is a great tour. Omar was amazing from beginning to end. It was fun as well as educational, with Omar giving very interesting insights into Morocco and its people. We especially enjoyed the final walk to the waterfall and Omars house for the lunch. Very beautiful. This is a really good value tour and a must to be taken.
They didn't arrive to pick us up, we arrived 15 minutes early at pick up point in front of our hotel lobby having received a photo confirmation that that's where we should wait. Spoke to all drivers who arrived in the next 1.5 hours nobody new anything about us and yet later they said they had looked for us several times.
They didn't arrive to pick us up. We arrived 15 minutes early at our hotel reception and waited over 1.5 hours and in that time only about 6 or 7 vehicles pulled up and I spoke to all of them. However the tour group say they arrived and looked for us several times. I booked the trip before we left and only received confirmation and the location of our pick up after we arrived in Morroco so had no way of contacting the driver because I did not have a Morrocan SIM card. Viator however were very good and organised a refund. My advice would be not to book with this company but if you still decide to make sure you take a photo in front of some sort of clock at your pick up point.
The service was never delivered, the seller never communicated with us, and viator refused to refund us even though absolutely nothing got delivered. Stay away from this service, there is zero quality control and zero integrity.
This was the best day tour I have experienced. With Omar as our guide, from the beginning to the end of the tour, it was a full day that just breezed through. Omar gave us an overview of what to expect which managed our expectations, and we accomplished all that was promised. We covered so much in one day and the pacing was perfect, not rushed, very relaxed. From camel ride, to the market visit, to the Argan oil home visit, to the trekking with breath-taking views, and the sumptuous home-cooked meal at the end if the tour in his home was the best experience ever! Omar is very professional, calm and speaks very good English and takes perfect pictures of us. I learned so much from him that day and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an authentic Moroccan tour. Omar is a pro and his price is very affordable and he makes sure you get your money’s worth. I would book again with him anytime even for a repeat of the exact tour. THIS US A MUST EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF.
Omar was excellent and the itinerary was incredible!!! From camel ride, mountain hiking with a fantastic view to an immersive educational awareness of history and culture...this tour is highly recommended for an unforgetable, authentic and heart warming experience!
