Great experience, everything went smoothly from the pick up in Marrakesh to the summit and back! Great hike with amazing landscapes, our guide, Abdul was top, friendly and took great care of us. Special thabk also to our chef, who prepared amazing food to keep us going! Really raccomend those guys!
Most memorable part of our visit. Our guide Mohamed was very helpful and informative. He made us feel comfortable from the moment he picked us up until the end of the trip. My husband and I had booked this trip with lunch not included but we were in a group that had lunch included in their package. Mohammed was kind enough to give both of us lunch and also 2 others in the group. Special thanks to Mohamed for being so lovely.
We just came back from the day trip from Marrakech to Imlil in the Atlas Mountains and had a wonderful time. Ibrahim was our guide and was so nice and very knowledgeable. He was very gentle and helpful with my mother and mother-in-law who joined me. The walk through villages and to the waterfall had us soaking up the fresh mountain air and loving the relaxed nature of the place. The lunch at Jamal’s house was excellent and his two super cute daughter were a joy to watch play. Youssef the driver was a great safe driver as well. I highly recommend Jamal and Ibrahim on this day trip. I would’ve liked to spend more time in the mountains but we only had one day. I plan on returning and doing a trek and would choose Jamal and Ibrahim without hesitation as my first choice.
Wow what a day. A really nice trip to the villages of Berber. What was so great was that it was not too touristy. Jamal was a really brilliant guide, with excellent English and information. Could not fault him one bit. He was very kind. The only thing about the day, (nothing to do with Jamal) is the camel rides. We personally are very mindful of the use of Animals for tourist attractions and don't believe they should be used. We did not take part in this activity. However we did get offered the traditional tea while we waited. Thank you again so much Jamal, for a brilliant day. Love Katie and Amy
We had a great time on this day tour to Atlas mountain. The tour guide Jamal was knowledgable and professional. They picked us up from our Riad. They even called us a few minutes before the pickup. Camel ride was fun! We enjoyed the tea and bread/ dip. We went to berber village, had nice lunch there with Yummy Tajin. We also did a small hike to a water fall. Overall: Time and money well spent
Very informative and lovely guide and driver. A perfect day out from the city to see the Atlas Mountains in a short space of time. Beautiful views and the best food we had in Morocco and also a personal visit to the guides own family home. Would recommend completely.
