We had a wonderful day! Our driver and our guides were great. The hike through villages at the Atlas Mountains was beautiful and just what we wanted after having been in the Medina for a few days. If you want to shop, the first two stops were the most pricey. Wait for the market and beyond.
A wonderful trip into the Atlas mountains. Fully recommended! Jamal and Mustapha are excellent guides!
Well organized , good location for pick up, experienced pleasant guides , very knowledgeable people , friendly .
Nice trip to the Atlas Mountains. Breathtakingly beautiful. Difficult walk, at least for people with difficulty or difficulty walking. Delicious berberlunch in a place with a beautiful view. Hiking boots actually necessity (or with sturdy profile). A wonderful day in the mountains with our top guide Ibrahim. Pay attention! Lunch for a fee but definitely worth it.
We were picked up on time by Yassine. Yassine was a very good guide, kept us well informed and looked after us well on our journey to and from the waterfalls. The van driver was safe and skillfully negotiated the traffic. Our guide ( Yassine?) that took us up the mountain to the waterfalls was exceptional. He ensured that our group was safe on the steep climb over wet, slippery and snow covered path. Always there to lend a hand on the more difficult parts. I recommend this excursion 100%. Even to youngsters like me myself at 84 years old!
Ibrahim was a wonderful tour guide. Be advised though, this is a proper hike. It is 1 1/2 hours of hiking uphill at about 6,000 feet. I was not able to do the hike due to the altitude, but Ibrahim and Mustafa (the driver) were very accommodating. The breakfast and stop at the co-op were okay, but the lunch was amazing. Definitely recommend for those looking for an active excursion from Marrakesh.
Great tour lunch was amazing and Mostapha our walking guide was amazing. You get your money's worth.
Very enjoyable experience . Our Guide Ibrahim was excellent. We could not praise him enough . Some of the terrain on the walk was challenging at times and he waited and helped people.
We were picked up close to our Riad, promptly. Our guide Ibrahim gave us a rundown of the days activities, even offering us an extra stop at a once a week market however, we were all happy skipping (I think we were all not shopping types). We made a few stops on the way to the mountain which broke the journey up. One at an Argan oil cooperative. The mountain walk was nice, not too difficult even in the heat, ibrahim did a wonderful job of helping us on a few of the trickier parts. He took photos for us a key points and kept an eye making sure everyone was okay, At lunch we enjoyed a wonderful meal at the home of a berber family. Ibrahim served us the beautiful dishes. It was a wonderful day and we were very grateful to Ibrahim and our driver.
Quite gentle paced for a mointain trek and the tour guide was lovely and understanding of those who needed more time. The meal at the berber was amazing and topped the whole experience off nicely. I'd highly recommend this tour and definitely through Viator.
