マラケシュからアトラス山脈とベルベル人の村での2日トレッキングガイド付き

A human experience of rare intensity. Abd and the entire team, as well as the local people, worked hard to make my experience unique and unforgettable. Unique, grand landscapes, combined with the genuineness of the people who inhabit them, will remain an indelible memory. The organization was perfect.

I was delighted with the chance to experience the Atlas Mountains and get to know more about the Berber culture. Our guide, Mustaffa, made us happy by providing all we needed to live the experience to the fullest.

I recommend from the bottom of my heart! Our guide was excellent. Views were breathtaking. If you are in Marrakech, you should definitely go for this.

We loved our two-day hiking trip in the Atlas mountains. Hassan was friendly and kept us moving and safe. We hiked a lot on winding footpaths and got to see remote villages up close. Our accommodations were very nice. The food was great and there were vegetarian options. The one thing that surprised us was that this was supposed to be a private guided tour with options for short or long hikes or riding a mule. Instead there were 16 people in our group and one plan for 4-5 hours of hiking per day. So if these things are important to you, you may want to ask for clarification in advance. In the end, we met people from around the world and had a great time. It was one of the best things we did in Morocco. Make sure you have good hiking boots!

My guide Samir was the best. Friendly, considerate and humourous. The food was awesome. But I am not impressed with the company, I booked a two day hike but ended up with two day hikes around Imlil.

The hike with Hussein was outstanding, fabulous, exceptional. I can not say enough good things. What a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, great with everyone in the group: children, parents, a bunch of 30-something's and those older too! Excellent chef and beautiful trekking!

Yussef our guide was very patient. I found it much harder than I thought I would. There were lots of loose stones which made it especially difficult when walking down. Some walking along cliff edges too - not recommended if you're scared of heights. It was very beautiful and I'm so pleased I did it. definitely recommended this if you're fairly fit. 4 of us did this together with our wonderful guide and it's definitely a GREAT memory. Thanks so much, Rose, Winnie, Neil and Susan xxxx

Tl;dr: Some good hiking to be had. Unfortunately organisation and communication aren't great, so our experience felt underprepared. Read on for more. We did go to the Atlas mountains, and we did do some hiking. Unfortunately the reviews commenting on the poor communication are correct. Having read the reviews, I made a request for the operator to get in touch when I booked so that we could prepare what to take, but we had no communication until the evening beforehand, by which time all sources of hiking equipment were closed. You can request accommodation pickup (which we did), but not a word of communication until the night before, when they tell you to meet them at Jemaa el Fna, (for us) a 15 minute walk away. The tour says "private" so we were a little surprised when we found ourselves in a minibus with almost 10 others and their backpacks. We didn't mind, but unless you're quite a large group, don't expect a private transfer to/from the mountains. The transfer driver was friendly and well-humoured. When we arrived in the mountains after 2 hours, we all unloaded into a lounge where we were divided into groups: those climbing mount Toubkal in 2 days and those climbing it in 3. They didn't seem very prepared for us not being in either of those groups. As the 2-day expedition had loaded up their mule and headed out, we sat in the lounge as the 3-day expedition were being briefed by their friendly guide, and we wondered how we were going to get in a full day's hiking as lunch time approached. Concerned we'd been forgotten, a chat with one of the staff resulted in the appearance of our guide. His English was functional but rudimentary, a far cry from the capable grasp some of the other staff had. That's not a comment on his personality (and credit is due when English is the 4th language for many of them), but so much depends on the guide, so it was a shame to be limited to basic conversations and trying to make sure we weren't misunderstood, when the other guides seemed so fluent. Then came the question "Have you had a good breakfast?" We had, but it was a while ago. We were given the choice of hiking through 'til dinner with no lunch (seemed like a bad idea) or doing a short 1-hour hike (a lot less walking than we thought we'd signed up for). We settled on a walk that we were told should get us to a place we could have lunch (at our own cost) for perhaps 1:30. We think it was just the longer trip with more optimistic time estimates. We arrived at 2:30, and as it turned out to be less than 30 minutes from there back to base, we just carried on for lunch at about 3. There, as we ate, a friendly team member asked us how the walk went. We said it was nice, not too hard, but shorter than we'd hoped. We discussed other walking options and our guide later appeared to say he would wait for us to be ready before heading out on another walk. We were told our luggage would be taken on to our accommodation for us. We did the second walk mostly in silence. It was hard to tell - perhaps our guide was tired, or didn't want to be there, or was just quiet. We descended back to a part of the village where we chatted to a friendly team member or two while our guide disappeared for a moment and then returned with our luggage. We were told to remember where we were now, and then taken down a path to our accommodation, which turned out to be back where we'd started. It wasn't until later when we walked back up that path for dinner that we realised what had probably happened. The place we had dinner was a lovely, presumably recently-built hotel/homestay, with glass tables, good views, European-inspired architecture and varnished wood floors that must have been imported at some cost. Quite different to anywhere else we'd seen. But presumably they'd run out of rooms (after bringing our luggage there) and had had to put us up in a spare room, with a door that didn't lock and 3 single beds that suggested we weren't the first to sleep in them since the sheets had last been washed. Day 2 was much better. We'd not expected much, but we set out quite early (though we felt bad as it seemed the hotel/homestay (where we once again returned for breakfast) had to rise extra early (8am) to serve our food), the temperature was fresh for walking and we climbed a peak with brilliant views, before continuing round the mountain and down through another valley. We even stopped by a shop where we picked up lunch, which the guide carried and prepared for us, and we snacked on fresh walnuts as we descended through the valley. The description includes a mule, but none of the walks needed one. We were dropped back in Marrakech outside the Medina, having spent the (much quicker) return trip chatting with other travellers. Thankfully as we'd spent a couple of days in Marrakech already, so we had our bearings and could walk the 20-25 minutes to our accommodation.

I went for two days with my guide Nordine, and it was amazing👍🏻 He made feel safe at all time, and he always made sure I was fine and took care of everything, even feeding me fresh walnuts on the way😁 and he is also a great photographer😉👍🏻 All in all I would higly recommend this👍🏻 And remember to bring good shows, no Crocs up in the high Atlas mountains!😂 If you are an experienced hiker, this will maybe be a little too ^easy^, we used four hours up and down, but again, amazing landscape and views🤩

We had a fantastic time in the Atlas Mountains. Our guide, Hassan, was incredible. This was my third time in the mountains and I have never seen such an amazing guide. He even took us to his own house to meet all his family. One of us had a few problems walking and he was so patient. I would recommend him to everyone.
