        Great day trip out of Marrakech
        We had a wonderful full day out of the busy city with our guide Omar B and Hassan the driver. Omar B was very helpful along the way and had a great personality and mood. It was fun to sit on a dromedar for about 30min, or what the call the camel massage (for your inner things!). We stopped a few places along the road to take photos and stretch our legs, so no point did we sit in the car for too long. It was fun to sit on a dromedar for about 30min, or what the call the camel massage (for your inner things!). The tagine lunch was great. The walk to the waterfall after was through great landscapes, not too long or hard. Last we visited a womens Argan oil cooperative and had tea and tried someof their products. Great value for money all in all, highly recommend it.

        Best tour ever
        No problem with communication. We booked and messaged them via trip advisior one day prior to confirm the pick up, they were at the location with the mini bus. There is also a possibility to connect via whatsapp. We waited for everybody to get on the mini bus and then the tour started. There was 14 of us. The driver drove perfectly through the narrow and curvy road. My partner gets easily car sick so we sat at the front and there was no problem. Our guide (potato man) was very informative and knowladgable. To get to the waterfalls there is a hike, but there is also an option of riding a donkey/mule almost all of the way. The launch was chicken tajin but there is also a vegetarian option. The camel ride was an experience on it's own. Very good. Very pleased with the trip. Also just keep in mind that there is a possibility you will come back later than advertised. I highly recommend this tour with the potato man and Hassan (the driver).

        Amazing tour of Marrakech surroundings
        We did this day tour with "Potatoes" (nickname of the guide). It was a wonderful experience to discover the atlas valleys and the beber community. Our guide brought us to visit his hometown and opened his heart to us to share all the best from this area. We had a great tajin there, then we went for a track in the valley. The camel ride in the desert was as amazing as the rest. We definitely recommend this day trip and our guide to anyone!

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, we felt very looked after and nothing was too much. Great food, a nice walk, waterfalls and camels. Make sure you request for Potato for your tour guide.

        Great value trip with enthusiastic guide
        Ahmad, nickname Potato!, collected us from our Riad before 9am and led us through the streets to his mini bus - we’d never have found it without him. Once everyone was collected we drove off to the camels for a short ride, all dressed up in local dress and head scarves. It wasn’t very long but it was exactly what we all wanted. Then we visited an Argan oil cooperative where we had breakfast, stopped for many photos whilst on our way to the High Atlas Mountains. There we hiked to the waterfalls where we stopped for photos and freshly squeezed orange juice at just 10dhm a glass. Then we hiked over to Potato’s home village where we had a delicious chicken tagine for a late lunch. Then to his actual home for tea and some local music on Berber drums. Potato and his friend were with us the whole day. They explained a lot about the berbers, language, customs etc. They were really lovely people who took great care of the whole group - we were 13 in total, all of different nationalities. The ride back to Marrakesh took about 90 minutes. Great day out. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

        Nice Tour
        Me and my friend took the tour and had a great time. Our guide Omar was very helpful and not a bit intrusive. He always helped when there was something in the way and took the picture for you. He showed us some Highligts and even took the group to his own home, where he invited us for coffee and tea. Beautiful views were then, with the waterfall, the Atlas Mountains and the desert, too. The car driving can be a bit unfriendly for the european driver. No strict rules as in Germany and the speed limit takes no one serious. All in one we had a great day, with a nice group of people. We would definitely recommend it!

        Amazing experience
        We booked this the night before we went and our driver Ahmed picked us up from our hotel and we met everyone at the medina. Our guide brahim bousserhan gave us some fresh smoothies as we had missed breakfast at out hotel due to the early start which was a very good beginning to a fantastic day. From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and brahim was entertaining, sociable and educational which we much appreciated. The mountains were beautiful, the lunch was delicious and we stopped for pictures everywhere which was fantastic. We ended with our camel ride with very well looked after animals and the scenery and atmosphere was just perfect. At the end of the evening we got dropped back at the medina and left our phone on the bus..... The driver dropped it back to our hotel reception... 3o mins away!!! We felt so safe with both the driver and guide. I highly highly recommend them if you want to see the real beauty of Morocco.

        Fantastic day. Ahmed (potato) made it. What a knowledgeable and enthusiastic young man. Camel ride was fun and organised. I didn't go on the walk as have lung disease but Ahmed tried his best to get me to go. Offered his help and even a mule!! Made sure I was looked after whilst waiting for our driver. True gent. tagine lunch was lush. All in all a well worth day out. Nothing but praise. Enjoy.

        Don’t think, just book
        From the moment we got picked up, to be personally dropped off at the airport straight after the day trip from Ahmed, this trip was fantastic. It’s more than just a tour, he shows you an authentic side to what it’s like living in the Atlas Mountains which is just incredible! Thank you Ahmed for sharing! The food was divine, your energy inspiring.

      The Pick up from the hotel was on time, we proceeded to the Atlas Mountains via a Berber Village to see a ladies cooperative, producing, a ground nut butter that we sampled with flat bread dipped in the sauce, then we were shown how they ground the Argan Seed, to produce the famous oil to further produce oil for cosmetics and or cooking. it was very interesting especialy being able to see the ancient presses used a hundred years ago, hidden in the back of the building.
      We then went on to Imlil, it was raining and windy, the bus parked up and we were handed over to our guide Hamid, he told us about the village and surrounding district.
      We were aprehensive as to wether to do the climb (my wife and I are both over 81 years of age) but decided to brave it. We had no regrets, our guide Hamid took great care of us during the climb, he spoke very good English and we discussed all sorts of subjects concerning the district and the Berber peoples.
      Hamid was attentertive, polite, caring and concerned, everyone in our party was well satisfied and happy.
      Our rainy day was made Sunny and relaxing, by Hamid.
      The climb was good and interesting to see the falls and the meal that followed in the village was absolutely fantastic.
      WELL DONE HAMID.

      However on the way home, 12 kilometres from Marrakech the bus had a puncture, we had a jack but no jack handle, we had a spare wheel but there was no wheel brace in the bus, after one hour and being helped by passers by, we were able to continue our trip one hour late!
      The company never even said sorry for the inconvenience, they obviously lack a customer, relations department.

      We had a fantastic day out of Marrakech that exceeded our expectations. Our local guide Baha, who grew up in the Atlas Mountains himself, and driver Abdo were friendly, helpful, and professional. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and Baha made even sure to message us on WhatsApp the night before the trip to introduce himself. The tour took us to a variety of places that stretched from an altitude of 1,700m in the snowy Atlas Mountains to the rocky hills of the Agafay Desert. Baha shared interesting information about the life of local people as well as fun facts like the shooting of Hollywood movies in the area with us. It was a well balanced mix between walking, driving and resting where we could enjoy a breakfast, lunch, or tea amidst the beautiful landscapes. We never felt rushed and our guides always gave us extra time to take photos if needed. This tour was truly a highlight during our stay in Marrakech and we are very happy that we took the opportunity to venture out. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. It's so much more than what it says in the description! Our warmest thanks to Baha and Abdo for taking care of us and providing us with this wonderful memory!

      Multilingual hosts. Answered questions. Took us to a couple of shops in which they probably received a comission and charged extortionate prices for westerners (roughly £10 for a bar of soap and non-negotiable) hence the drop of one star. There's an additional cost of 70D (£6 ish) for lunch which is perfectly reasonable. Overall the atlas mountains were beautiful and I would thoroughly recommend.

      Do not use this company unless you want to be ripped off. Do not use clique travel for the same reason. We did this tour last Monday, and even though it states lunch is included, this is not the case. Lunch was available, and once it had been eaten and not before they guide asked the other people in the group for 70 diriam each for the meal. Even though it was included. Hey, Presto, the guide has just made 770 diriam. Lunch wasn't even offered until 4:30pm because the bus spent an hour and a half driving round marakech picking people up including one hotel that they could not find. This is the best city tour I ever had. Please avoid this outfit.

      We enjoyed our day out in the Atlas Mountains and in particular the Camel ride. We didn't see much of the Berber Villages and valleys other than passing through and having tea in a private house. There was no opportunity to meet people or walking through the villages, The guide was nice but he told us very little. We were mostly taken from one place to another (Argan oil cooperative, camel ride, restaurant, tea and waterfall). It would have be good to get some information about the places we drove through and how people lived, their traditions etc.

      It was an amazing experience. We went with Ibrahim and had an awesome time with him as our tour guide.
      We recommend 100% this tour, as it is possible to visit both mountain and desert, experience a little bit of the Berber daily life and also to view another side of Morocco that we didn't know before!
      We went there as a couple, but were together with other participants that took their families and could clearly see that you can do this at any age

      We received a warm welcome by our guide, Youssef, who spoke fluent English and French for our group. We did everything as described in the booking detail, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything moment of this experience. We highly recommend this trip as it was both educational and fun with Youssef detailing berber life excellently. We had beautiful breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains and surrounding areas.The lunch was superb, and it finished off with a camel ride, which again was excellent. A very much appreciated thanks to Youssef and his team for a wonderful trip.

      Thanks to Mohamed, at the end the excursion we can say that it was normal
      What doesn't seem right to me is hiring an excursion with a guide in Spanish and having to do it in English because the guide had gotten sick (I'm sure the problem was that there weren't a larger number of tourists in Spanish and they put us in English)
      They apologized to us halfway through the excursion and if it wasn't because of Mohamed we wouldn't know anything.
      At least they could have warned us

      We didn't really get what we booked, I think this page sells off your ticket to other companies, looked at all the 5 star reviews mentioning mohammed and it's clear we were put with a completely different company. Made even more clear when we were asked to review a completely different page.
      I think with this ticket it's luck of the draw which company you get, which guide and which group you get put with on the day.
      If you are on a budget or a young person/student this is a great option but in future I would spend a bit more for a better and more comprehensive tour.
