The Healing Nature of the Atlas Mountains & People - This was my first international trip outside of the U.S. and I am inspired to come back and visit. The beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the people, culture, and hospitality was unbelievable! The knowledge of our tour guide, Rachid, was impactful and beneficial. I am sincerely grateful for this journey and experience; it has forever changed my outlook on my personal life and traveling.

Definitely will come again! - Rachid is amazing. We spent 8 days together on a private tour and it was beyond amazing. This is my 3rd time using his company and he always over delivers. We felt safe, we felt appreciated, we felt cared for.

Good guide with good English made the trip! - Loved it! Youssef (a local) was my guide. 22 years old, full of character and energy. He absolutely made my trip. He knows alot about the moutain, speaks good English and gave clear instructions at the beginning of every day so I knew what to expect. We hiked 6 days through remote berber villages where I was the only foreigner. Youssef explained the things we saw and the culture. Everyday we walked ± 4 to 5 hours. If you're fit and looking for a physical challenge in the moutains (like me) the dev ask for Youssef!! He even invented me to his family's house for dinner.

Fabulous 4 Day trip in High Atlas Mountains - We booked our trip independently from the UK, the booking, information, communication and payment were efficient and straightforward with Rachid. We were picked up from our Riad and everything was well organised. We loved our knowledgeable guide Mohamed and Muleteer Hussain, the walks were well planned, with beautiful views, food was prepared on route and in gites/homestays - the vegetarian food was plentiful and delicious. We would highly recommend this trip to see the mountains, and the Berber way of life in such a beautiful country. Thank you Rachid, Mohamed and Hussain.

Great day trip with 3 hour trek and magnificent lunch - Last week we did a day trip from Marrakech with a 3 hour trek and lunch in Imlil valley. Rachid and the crew did an excellent job with the trip and we would highly recommend the trip.
The pickup from our Riad in the Medina was on time, the driver professional and very helpful.
Our guide for the trail was Hamid and he was the best. He worked with all of us and helped us along the way. He even got us some snack of nuts and fruits which we enjoyed at the halfway point. We did about an 8-9 miles hike which was beautiful and suited perfectly to our family. The lunch was at Hamid’s village and it was the best Tajine we had during our Morocco trip.
