Marrakesh Mayhem - From the pick up with Mohammed to the fun singing camel men to the incredible guide Hasan. A most fantastic great value day with a delicious lunch, lovely to meet the berbers in the mountain village. A absolute must trip.

A fantastic day. - An excellent day from start to finish. We were picked up near our Riad in the Medina. We drove towards the Berber town of Imlil and made a few stops along the way to take some pictures of Berber villages and also to visit the Argan oil cooperative to learn how it’s made and see some of the products. We had a breakfast of Berber tea, bread and argan oil peanut butter. On arriving at Imlil we went for. 90 minute hike to the waterfall and back to a Berber villagers house for a delicious lunch and a stunning view overlooking The Valley with the Toubkal peak in the background. Our guide for the day, Nassim was very attentive and was a wealth of information on the local geography, religion, Berber culture and everything in between. The lunch was in the home of his family members and we were made to feel very welcome. Nassim also ensured that we had lots of pictures to remember our trip. After a long and relaxing lunch we went back to Marrakech stoping along the way for a Camel ride, dressed up like Lawrence of Arabia, ain’t a dried riverbed. All in all a spectacular day, which was great fun and very educational. Many thanks to our hosts. I would highly recommend this trip.

Unbelievable value for money! - We picked this trip because we're only in Morocco for 4 days and wanted to see as much as possible and weren't disappointed! Our guides were fantastic and helpful, gave us loads of information, answered all our questions and offered to take our photographs constantly. We made several stops on the way to the mountains including some beautiful view points! Once we got to the mountains we walked for 2 hours stopping at waterfalls, villages and ending in a house belonging to our guides family where we had a private home cooked lunch which was delicious! We spent some time with the family on their rooftop which provided the best possible view of the mountains. On the way back we stopped in the dessert for a camel ride, the people were very friendly and the camels were well looked after. This was followed by some lovely mint tea and conversation at their camp. Overall we couldn't recommend our guides or this company enough, a personal and friendly trip and a good way to experience berber culture!

So worth it! - Our day tour with Nassim was brilliant! We visited a huge souk just outside Marrakesh then discovered more about Argan oil production. Abdullah drove us through the mountains like a pro. We had a beautiful walk through the mountains (we would have got lost if we'd been on our own). We would highly recommend this family run business, we were very well looked after and the food was delicious - thanks guys!

Absolutely fantastic - I'd never heard of Viator before travelling to Marrakech, we booked our day trip to the atlas mountains with them as lots cheaper than any other tour operator, what a fantastic day, our local guide Mohammed was a mind of local info, took us round the mountains, villages and more, ate lunch in his family house, so interesting seeing how they still live in the berber villages, amazing time from pick up to drop off, so easy to book online with email confirmation, highly recommend

Really good tour - The guide was a very nice and interested person and does not leave us alone. He helps us in all situations and motivate us to reach the mountains. We drank maroccan tea after the camel ride. The camel ride was a new experience for me and if you never been on a camel before, then do it here for the first time! The guide show us how the berbers live and show their markets on the mountains. We ate Tajine on the Atlas with a great overwiew. The Tajine was deliciousss! Thank you for that! Finally we walked up to the Atlas and go to waterfalls, where you can chill and rest and drink orange juice. The oranges were cold because of the water from the waterfalls. You definetly try orange juice there, very delicious and refreshing after the walking. The guide and his driver picked up us from our riad and leave us out at our riad. Excellent service! Everything what is written in the description is filled! Me and my husband are very happy to meet them. Thank youu! :-)

Holiday Highlight - What a wonderful experience, memorable from start to finish and on reflection has remained one of our favourite experiences of our 10 day trip. Omar, our guide was a natural story teller and very knowledgeable with a bonus of adding humour to the tour. All aspects of the itinerary more than lived up to expectations and it was an privilege to see the authentic Berber culture and hospitality over lunch.
