We did private day trip from Marrakech to Berber villages. The day started with a personal pick up from our Riad and we were whisked away off to the Atlas Mountains. This tour lets you see the most popular sights of the Atlas Mountains and takes you through multiple Berber villages. It was a great way to see a large area of the Atlas region and even the option of a personally guided hike to the waterfalls. We had a relaxing lunch by the river and saw wild monkeys from a distance. I recommend taking the private tour as it means you can enjoy the valleys in a more personal manner.
Thank you so much for your very kind review, we can fell you had a good time and this means the world to us
Great tour with Ahmed the driver for the day. Was a nice day in the mountains. Another guide took us to the waterfalls. Recommend trainers for that part and you can take your time there is no rush at all during the day. Went to a couple of local shops for a browse and visited a museum/house of how Berbers lived with a fully working mill running off the stream. Lunch was great, we sat near the stream and ate lunch. An enjoyable experience. Worth the premium as you go further up the mountain , about 2500m and you get a private tour. Highly recommended, and thank you Ahmed for a memorable birthday, much gratitude.
Provided child seats on request, really safe and calm driver! Modern clean van! We did a custom trip for set price. We weren't rushed by the driver and he was happy to make several stops when we asked him to. Would definitely recommend

Charaf arrived at my hotel on time with a spotless car, I was hungover from my birthday the night before & Charaf provided me with water & suggested nice places to eat in Berber. As well as being a great driver, Charaf shared Morocco's history and translated for me whenever needed. He did not complain when I asked him to take me to a Souk even though this cant him finishing a little later than booked. I'm glad I booked a private tour & I would 100% recommend Charaf as your driver, you will not be disappointed.
