Amazing Atlas mountains tour with Abdouasni - Where do i start, an excellent experience from start to finish, every information about the area and its history provided by our tour guide Abdouasni, who had a lively and charismatic personality. Any questions were answered in detail, and the food was in my honest opinion the best tagine and cous cous we had in the 7 days we stayed in Morocco, thats saying something. I would highly recommend for you to book this experience and ask for Abdouasni. Abdouasni thank you for a lovely experience i hope to see you again in the near future. My family were very satisfied with the excursion and send there thanks.

Guided tour of the Barber villages, camel ride and an excellent guide! - Spectacular experience! Our guide was super helpful. He introduced us to drinking customs and made us feel very comfortable asking questions about everyday life. During the trip he stopped to take photos, told us stories and even made some jokes to further enhance the excellent atmosphere he gave us. A big thank you to the guide! I totally recommend this experience!

Absolutely brilliant! - What an absolutely wonderful host and tour guide Abdul Rahim and his assistant were. Smart, funny, helpful, punctual and above all their service and hospitality were superb. The guide even carried our youngest the whole to the waterfall with a smile on his face. And then on the way back carried our middle child on his shoulders! We told him not to but he said he loves kids. One passenger even vomited in is minibus and he did not mind but proceeded to get out and take care of the passenger. He said leave it I will clean it. But we all helped to clean it. This is the best person to book an excursion with hands down
