Excellent Valley trip. - Marwan was our guide and driver, he was very polite & friendly, on time and explained the plan well. He was a very safe and experienced driver, great on the narrow mountain roads. The transport was very comfortable & with good air con.
The 5 Valleys in the Atlas mountains was a wonderful tour, stopping at several interesting places to visit, Marwan knew great spots for photos & stopped for other requests.
We loved the tea stop by the River, the Argon oil process, different Berber villages and the lunch at the family house, it was delicious. The family were very good hosts.The valley view from their balcony was amazing !!
Marwan was exceptionally kind & helpful as I have knee problem with some rocky paths.
The whole trip was an excellent adventure.

Great views, incredible guide - The tour is awesome, the panoramas are breathtaking and lunch in a local Berber village was the best meal we had so far in Morocco. Our guide Abdel was incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive. We learned a lot, and truly enjoyed the day. I'd definitely recommend this tour to have a better understanding of Morocco outside of a big city.

Must do when in Marrakech! - My husband and I had the best time on this tour! Our driver, Abel, was very friendly and knowledgeable which made the experience even better. The lunch was absolutely delicious and nothing like what we have eaten in Morocco before. This trip was definitely worth it.

Great experience seeing the Berber home - It was incredible to see just a portion of the Atlas Mountains, you get a great idea of the magnitude of the range and the guide provides great insights during the drive. Eating at the Berber home was an outstanding experience, the food was incredible and the immersion to the culture fascinating! The driving was also super safe on some very high areas of the mountain!

Top trip and a top guide. - Had an absolutely amazing time today on this tour. Started with prompt pickup from our total dude of a guide Marwan, who was warm, friendly, funny and knowledgeable.
We had a great tour of the mountains and the valleys, stopped in many picturesque places and got to understand the Berber culture and politics from Marwan.
We had a walk down the mountain, visited a women's argane oil cooperative with no pressure to buy something (although many of us did) and the best tagine of the whole holiday in an amazing welcoming friendly Berber family's home.
They catered for me and my wife who are gluten free vegans which was pretty amazing.
Marwan even sang a traditional Berber poem for us on the way home, which was the icing on a great cake. 10 stars!

Great trip up into the mountains for some amazing views and learning about the history of the area as well as the Moroccan history. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone!

Atlas Mountains and the 5 Valleys - It was amazing experience. Initially the driver didn’t speak to us. Then after reaching the Ourika valley he introduced himself, and talked about the itinerary. What I found weird was in the whole breakdown of the itinerary is mentioned that 2hrs in Atlas Mountains. For me we only did the valleys . Didn’t even see any waterfalls which I saw in the photographs posted by other tourists. Me and my friend were disappointed. The lunch was delicious prepared by the Berber family who were very friendly. There house was clean, tidy and beautiful.
