Amazing experience - Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. As a family off myself my son and his girlfriend, the trip was booked as a gift whilst on holiday by my wife, who booked before we left England. From pick up to drop off the day was jam packed with experience's that we will remember for ever. The stunning scenery, architecture, culture and facts are hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. The private trip was alot more intimate and Khalid our guide was brilliant, he definitely made the trip more memorable and was great throughout the whole day.
On visiting Marrakech, you have to do this amazing trip and paying a little bit extra, for a special trip was well worth it for the memories. Will definitely book another trip with this company on our next visit.

The best experience to have in Marrakech - Khalid is a fantastic guide, he will take you to the best places in morocco. And he will be available to give you information about culture and life in Moroccan villages. He is very kind and will give you time to enjoy your trip. You will be able to see the stunning Ourika waterfalls, see the beautiful Oukaimden valley and its mountains, then have lunch in a Berber house in Sifi Fars, see the Asni valley and finally enjoy the return journey on a road surrounded by stunning mountains , villages and vegetation. On the way back you will also make a stop at Tahmaout Valley. In short, an experience not to be missed!!

Walk in the Atlas Mountains with a visit to the Berbers. - It was a very pleasant day: the guidance from the hotel to the starting point of the walk was very amusing. Abdou told a lot about the various important places on our journey there. Once there, Mohammed guided us through the Atlas Mountains to the Berber family, where we were welcomed with a very tasty meal (tajine with a salad and a bottle of water). During the walk we were also welcomed in a carpet weaving factory where we were offered a delicious mint tea.
We saw incredibly beautiful landscapes during the walk and were guided along the paths at our pace.
We thoroughly enjoyed it! This is highly recommended!!!

Cultural and active way to see another side of Morocco - Highlight of our Marrakesh trip. Thank you to Abdel for being such a friendly and accommodating guide. Car seat for our little one and even videos to keep him entertained on the journey. Wear suitable footwear for the waterfall hike but definitely worth it and doable even with a 1 year old in a baby carrier and an 8 year old. The views whilst having our lunch at the Berber family house were breathtaking.

A must-do! - This trip was one of our most favorite ones!. Definetly not to miss out! We travelled with 4 friends. The trip to the Atlas Mountains took about an hour. The driver explained a lot during our way and stopped on picture perfect spots. He was so flexible, nothing was too much to ask for. Only positive vibes.
The walk in the mountains is stunning. You meet different people on your way, including artisanans. The rocks are challenging. Good walking shoes are advised ;). The waterfall is of course stunning as well, but also the berber monkeys, the wild river and amazing views brings you very close to nature. You really taste the local life of berbers here.
We had lunch next to the river and WAW, what an experience again. The staff is so friendly, they even run from and to your table to make your lunch as comfortable as possible.
Ghalid and Obama our driver and guide, you were amazing! Thank you.

Beautiful Experience - Great experience seeing the Atlas Mountains. The hike up to the waterfall was beautiful. Lunch at the Berber home was delicious and the views were breathtaking. The family was warm and welcoming. Along the journey, we stopped at an Argon Oil Cooperative and a pottery maker. Again, a great learning experience and enjoyed learning along the way.
