It was the best guide tour I’ve had!! I learned so much about the country, food, tribe, culture and people. The guide was super nice and helpful for everyone. I 100% recommend this trip if you stay in Marrakech.
We really liked the tour. The place where we ate very nice and the food that made us very good, a great presentation. The excursion to the waterfalls are also very nice. The very friendly guide. The only thing we didn’t like was that the guide doesn’t speak Spanish, and the tour we hired in Spanish. We asked and were told that there was no guide in Spanish because there was not enough group. There was a couple of Spaniards who were translating us. If it wasn't for them, we hadn't heard anything because we didn't speak English.
Would recommend this trip for anyone looking for the full atlas mountain experience, even on a budget! Mountains, waterfalls, camels and great food.
A great day to never forget..was an unforgettable experience..fantastic group and SUPER guide..I will not forget the birthday cake surprise for my wife (she says it was a memorable day)..thank you very much for this experience..Abraces CHOUKRAN
We were with Idriss in the middle of August 2019 in the Atlas mountains. Perfect day, perfect guide, perfect nature, perfect price Absolute must for a Marrakech vacationer
Idriss was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and happy to answer every question we had. He even took us in to his family home in the Berber village to meet his wonderful mother and father. Would recommend!
Hi thanks for your confidence.And to live us a great feedback. Best regards Idriss
Myself and my boyfriend went on this excursion. We were collected from our hotel with a group of six other people and despite a slightly late departure our transport through the day was very comfortable. We took various stops on route into the high atlas including an argan oil cooperative. On reaching our final destination were greeted warmly by Idriss’s family, where we had lunch (included within the price) and learnt about local traditions. I would highly recommend this trip for an immersive experience of Berber life.
Thanks for your great feedback. Idriss Best regards
Idris was the most fantastic tour guide! We got more than we expected from this day trip. I could not recommend this any more. It was a great way to learn and see so much of Morocco in one day :) 5/5 from us thanks Idris
