We had a lovely excursion with this travel agent.
We enjoyed our visit very much to the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara.
We were a family of seven with a 4 year old and it was very relaxing.
The travel agent Mohammed was very nice and he tried his best to adapt the excursion to our needs.
Our driver for four days Dawud was a very nice man, he took good care of us and took us to any places we had particular interest in.
I would recommend them and would go with them again if I came back.

Booked a Buggy tour through this agency and was pleasantly suprised by the service provided. From the minute I made an enquiry about the Quad and Buggy Tour, Mohammed was very friendly, knowledgable and professional. He explained the tour and the differences in the various tours available and promptly booked a Buggy for my teenage son & I for the next day.
The next day, Mohammed was at the meeting point in the Square and waited until the tour bus arrived before he left. The tour itself - Buggy ride with Touareg was fantastic! It took just over 2 hours through the desert and we also stopped at a Berber house for Refreshments. We were in a small group and the others had individual Quads. My son & I really enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend booking this tour and other tours through Mohammed and would use his services again when I return to Marrakech.

We booked online a tour to the desert from Marakesh for one night. We were two couples but none of us could imagine what a wonderful trip that would be. You should ask for Abdrahim (Abdul) the driver we had. He came with the car (a land cruiser) to pick us up from the riad early in the morning and kept us busy and happy throughout the tour by showing us the best spots for photos, taking us to see how the locals make the traditional pottery and visiting the place where argan oil is produced. When we approach the camp there were camels waiting for us that help us reach our beautiful tent which was magic!! All the people at the camp were very willing and polite. They prepared our dinner by the fire under the stars. The next morning we woke up in the middle of sand dunes watching an amazing sunrise. The ride back was also interesting as we went to Ait Ben Haddou and drove through really nice roads full of palm trees. At the end of our adventure we were all overwhelmed. It is really an once in a lifetime experience!!

We have booked a private tour to Ourika valley, lunch and visiting an Argan cooperative on the way.
Hence we expected a driver to give us additional insight on country, region, history etc. en route.
Lured in by positive reviews we have booked with Mhidi Travels.
Booking has worked out nicely.
Driver showed up in a rather worn down SUV.
During the ride we had the feeling that the car’s exhaust wasn’t working properly, as the exhaust gases seemed to come into the car.
Though the driver was friendly, he only had a very basic command of English and didn’t provide any insights.
Moreover he was speeding as if we were on the run.
Positive:
En route to the falls, we stopped at the AFou Argan Cooperative.
A nice building, friendly sales staff where we learned a bit about Argan and left through the „gift-shop“ :-)
Closer to the falls another Guide took over for the walk up to the falls.
A very friendly gentleman, who prudently took care of us and - on the way also has collected empty plastic bottles that were left behind from previous groups
Lunch provided locally was OK (tourist menu in Ourika Valley), but not really something to write home about.
Overall a mixed bag.
If we had not been lucky with the tour-guide in Ourika Valley it would have been a „no star“.

We are 4 persons and booked a private 2 days trip from Marackesh to Zagora. As our driver did not speak English, I emailed the company and they immediately arranged for us an extra guide that spoke English to come with us. During the whole road they tried to give us as many information as they could, they stoped to Atlas mountain to see how the argan oil is made, and to some other villages to see how the pottery and the carpets are made. In general they did our trip much more enjoyable, they were kind and took the initiative to change the place we would stay, as the new one was much better.
The hospitality to the camp was really good, the foods very good and the tents very comfortable.
Abdoul (our driver) was very careful, had experience, and despite the fact that he had flue he did more than expected. He was also very discreet. He stoped many times just for us to take a photo, and did various routes to show us more.
Ahmed (the second guide) was also very friendly, always with a smile, and told us a lot of stories.
The walk with the camels was grate as they arranged it to be during the sunset and the colours of the sky were beautiful.
I recommend it and if you could ask for Abdoul (he speaks France) please do.

The rating is not for the driver or attraction we visited but purely for the organisation of the tour done by Houssine.
I emailed Mhidi Travel back on 11th October to enquire about the EXCURSION FROM MARRAKECH TO THE KASBAHS tour on the 26th Dec. Communication was good and prompt. We confirmed everything and paid in full (this was our preference).
December 24th, two days before the tour, I emailed just to check everything was in order. Again, a prompt response saying everything was set. Everything looked promising. It seemed everything was off to a good start and we were looking forward to our tour.
First of all, on the day of our tour, our driver was twenty minutes late. When he arrived we promptly discovered that he spoke almost no English and mainly spoke French. Before we headed off, he wanted us to complete a form but he couldn't explain what it was for (and to this day we could only guess ourselves but we scribbled our names anyway). It was a struggle throughout the trip (and it was a very long drive both ways) and just trying to ask for a bathroom stop or a chance to stretch our legs was difficult. The driver was trying to point out some tid-bit facts but with our minimal French, it was impossible to understand. We even tried google translate but that did not work as we think the driver was not able to read French but only speak it.
To cut a long story short...
Our enjoyment of the tour was diminished due to the fact we were paired with a driver who did not speak our language. The tour itself was great (visiting the Kasbahs was fantastic), the driver was ok (even better if you spoke French). We tipped accordingly as it was not his fault plus it was a very long drive. BUT the poor rating is purely for the lack of organisation. There really was no excuse for not getting an English speaking driver as I booked this very early on (early October). On top of that, it did not feel entirely safe because it was a long drive and knowing that you could not communicate with your driver if there was an emergency is not the best feeling.
We definitely think you should go with someone else - probably a more reputable agency than this one.

Had no idea what we had booked. Googling the ourika valley we just knew we liked the idea of an excursion to it. We stopped off at a small village along the way, visited an argan oil co-operative and a typical Berber mill house. Im not a great fan of guided tours but all in all I did get to see things I would have no chance of doing independently. Once climbing to the falls we were whisked too quickly through stalls clinging to the craggy paths but ensured we would get to stop and browse on the way down. My only gripe with this is that I was getting hungry and the snack stalls had really tasty looking bars made of nuts, or seeds. The amount of people charging up and down was rather alarming as the rocks were wet and the drops were huge, but it was a great climb and easy enough for kids, albeit lacking in any thoughts to health and safety. definitely entertaining to be in the back of beyond with stunning scenery yet with some of the mayhem and chaos of Marrakesh in tow. The falls weren't spectacular but the trek to the them was above and beyond anything I have ever experienced, well worth it. The meal on the way down was tasty, a bit pricey at 120 dinah, but it was 3 courses and drink, and enjoyable.
All in all I was very pleased, the guide was helpful, and spent the whole time in the trek herding us with a head count, no-one was going to get lost on his watch.
Tips: wear sensible footwear for clambering over rocks and streams. Definitely take snacky things and even a drink we got collected at 9am and did not eat until 3.
The various bars made of nuts or seeds (like sesame snaps etc) were great but I wished Id been able to buy them and eat them before the climb to the falls

Thank you so much for the excellent hospitality, M'hidi Travel! From the moment we spoke with Mohamed to book the trip to the minute Hossin dropped us back to the square, we were well taken care of. Hossin, our driver for the day, spent one of this precious Fridays during Ramadan with us and we truly appreciated his time and great attitude through out the day! Merci, shukran, and thank you, once again!

My partner and I booked a private tour to Ouarzazate, through the M'hidi Travel shop in the souks. We booked two days in advance, and found talking with the agency owner face-to-face very helpful.
The 4x4 was comfortable and a smooth ride. The tour owner met us in front of the Cafe de France (4x4s are not allowed in the Medina, where we were staying) so he could introduce us to our driver. Lots of tourists had booked tours and were wandering around looking for drivers they had never met, so this was a reassuring and nice touch. We only paid for our tour (we had put down an advance of 30%) once we met the driver.
Our trip took us through a breathtaking, if sometimes hairy, mountain pass in the High Atlas. We stopped at two ksars (fortified villages on the Salt Road): Kasbah Talouet, up in the mountains, the largest in South Morocco after Marrakesh; and the windswept Berber village of Aït Ben Haddou in the desert, which has been used as a film location in countless blockbusters, including Game of Thrones, Indiana Jones, and Gladiator.
If you leave enough time, your guide may push on into Ouarzazate itself to visit the Film Studios. Wandering through the maze of old film sets (Jewel of the Nile, Cleopatra, Game of Thrones, Kingdom of Heaven, etc.) is slightly surreal.
We spent an amazing, if tiring day, leaving at 7:30 am and returning just past 7 pm. Our guide was fun and friendly, and really went out of his way for us.
His English was poor, but as we speak French, we were matched with a French-speaking guide.
We paid a fixed price of 1600DH for two people, much less than we were quoted elsewhere online (the shorter excursion to Imlil was 1500 DH). A delicious three-course lunch was included.
I would strongly recommend taking enough cash to cover getting a guide for both ksars (20-40DH) and the film studios (50DH pp). There are also stops at a coffee shop (10DH/coffee), an Argan-oil women's coop, and several scenic points.
I also recommend going into the Aït Ben Haddou Berber carpet women's coop.: they sell beautiful handwoven cactus-silk carpets which we did not see anywhere in Marrakesh (starting price was 800DH, but we got ours for less). The man who ran the shop was friendly and quite knowledgeable about Berber culture. You will have to bargain the traditional way (lots of chat and tea).
Also, wear lots of layers: it's hot in the desert, and freezing up in the High Atlas, at least at this time of year.
Cannot recommend using M'hidi Travel enough.
All in all, I highly recommend M'hidi travel.

I took this 4 day trip with my two kids (19 and 22) and we had a fantastic time. Abdul picked us up near our riad in the medina and we headed out toward the Atlas Mountains. We spent a fair amount of time in the car over the four days, but it was totally worth it as we were able to take in so much of the really magnificent countryside. Highlights included the night in the tent in the Sahara. Obviously, a tent camp set up for tourists, but really fun nonetheless. We ate a really good dinner in the dining tent and then the staff made a campfire and sang some traditional Berber songs. (We were there in late December so it was pretty cold in the tent at night. . . .) And, of course, the starts were fantastic. We had the good fortune of having our last night fall on New Year's Eve. The hotel prepared an amazing 5 course meal and arranged for 4 very talented local Berber musicians to play music for almost 4 hours.
Our driver/guide Abdul was wonderful. I always felt comfortable with him at the wheel. He gave us time at meals to be alone, but he was a total joy to be with. My son had just finished a semester of Arabic in college and he and Abdul talked together as best they could. Abdul always greeted us with a smile and made the four days a total pleasure.
