My husband and I had a fabulous day out exploring Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert with Valleys. The guide, Ismail was engaging and provided nuggets of information about the mountain and Agafay! This trip is highly recommended! The Camel ride and brief stop-off to the Argon Oil Cooperative was great. The food was fantastic at the Berber village. We were looked after well throughout the day. Being in the high Atlas was a welcome break from the hussle and bussle of Marrakech. This was the best day of our saty in Marrakech

The trip was more then we were expecting. From the very beginning to the end our guide (Zin) was taking care about any of our needs. It was a great opportunity to see completely different face of Morocco. Camel ride (although it's not the most comfortable way of traveling) was a childhood dream coming true. Everywhere Zin took us we were served Moroccan tee and meeting extremely nice people - it's very refreshing after some of experiences with locals you may have in Marrakesh itself. Even the unexpected stor didn't ruin our experience - quite opposite, it just add up to authenticity and also allowed us to witness real Moroccan hospitality. The second it god cold Zin got us the jackets from some local store completely for free, his friends made us an amazing lunch and his cousin later gave us shelter from the rain and served us some tea. All in all I would recommend this trip to everyone. Plus i need to mention our amazing driver, Mustafa, which also was there for us, always smiling, taking pictures and in the end he even gave us the extra ride to store we were planing to go instead of just dropping us in the main square.

One of the best day trips ever! Very well organised with many different activities including a delicious lunch in a village of the Atlas Mountains! First stop was for camel riding, but keep in mind that it does not take place in the desert as you imagine. Secondly, the mini bus stops to an argan oil shop, where there are some kind ladies who explain how argan oil is harvested and transformed to be used either for cosmetics or for food. Then, the next stop is the village that Omar, the tour guide, comes from, where we had the amazing lunch. Omar, who is very funny and polite, offered us coffee or tea at his house, where we met his beautiful family! Then we went for hiking, to see the waterfalls nearby! I definitely suggest to wear your sneakers, if you want a safe hiking in the mountain! Last stop was for taking pictures in green valleys before going back to Marrakesh! Overall highly recommended!

We started our day meeting our driver and tour guide, Omar, a native Berber, who came to our hotel to pick us up. Omar throughout our whole time together one of the best guides ever encountered. Apart from polite and rendering our needs in our excursion, he was all the time informing about the history of the places we pass. At noon approximately we changed our driver and tour guide with Moustafa. Moustafa took us to his uncle's house for traditional berber tea and guided us through the berber villages in Atlas mountains, lake takerkourst and agafay desert. We saw so many places and so many experiences in one day and our two guides, Omar and Moustafa, these two polite and smiley Berbers made our excursion a memorable one. Leaving Morocco I may forget the sightseeings in the cities I visited with my wife. But i will never forget the experiences and feelings from our excursion.

My friends and I booked this tour last minute and we were very pleased with our experience! Our tour guide was Brahim and we loved every second with him. We did everything the description promised and more. We were very pleased to receive a traditional Moroccan meal included with our ticket as well. Brahim was very friendly and jumped at any opportunity to take our photo to capture our time in Morocco. We highly recommend this trip to anyone who wishes to see more of Morocco!
