Ourika valley & Atlas mountains excursão de um dia de Marrakech

Wow what an experience! Hicham, Omar and Badr really gave us the most amazing day. Even though we booked the shared tour option we had the pleasure of having Badr as our private chauffeur the whole day! There were a lot of challenging roads and I still didn't get car sick with him behind the wheel. In Imlil we got a great tour with Hicham and ate at his family's house. The food, the view and their hospitality were all amazing. After we visited an Argan cooperation were they showed us how their products are made and we had a tea in their lovely garden. Camel ride was cool too. After all this we got the desert sunset dinner experience as well (we added this to our trip and did NOT regret!). The location was gorgeous and the food, once again, great. There was a group this time. We were seated around a firepit where local men played Berber music. It was so much fun and everyone was so so nice. This was a day we will surely look back on many times with so much joy and we would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Morocco.

Leave the Marrakesh caos for this experience. Super nice people with amazing food, a lovely atmosphere and relax. I totally recommend for discover a different sides of Marocco and its culture

Our family had a fantastic once in a lifetime daytrip from Marrakech - hiking and having lunch in a village in the Atlas Mountains, a camel ride, closed out with dinner by campfire in the desert. This customized combined tour was made possible by Omar whose guidance and friendly and very capable team of staff made all of it come together seamlessly. Our driver Hassan was helpful, engaging and flexible - adjusting to a last-minute time change, while also providing in-depth information regarding the history of the Atlas Mountain region and its people. Our mountain guide Rashid was also very helpful, engaging and obviously very knowledgeable - identifying a suitable trail for us to take, introducing us to our lunch hosts - and even pre-arranginging a vegetarian lunch option for one our kids. The camel ride in the dessert was also a highlight: our guide, Nassim was once again very personable and attentive. This came to light during perhaps the most enjoyable portion of the entire day. A delicious Morrocan dinner by campfire followed by live authentic regional music, led by Nassim and performed by the local staff on hand in joyous sing-along fashion under the desert stars - leaving our family with an indelible smile with which to reflect on this once in a lifetime memory. To have all of this take place in a single day without a hitch speaks to a very well run organization and very high quality people into whom you could confidently entrust your family plans if you are planning a trip to Marrakech - and want to make the very most of it!

from driver to impeccable guide! very useful, great places. I really recommend it, a complete tour camels, mountains, shopping, desert jeep and again I say a dream team!

The guide Lahcen Talb was very nice, gentle and gave us several informations during the excursion! The driver Ibrahim was very nice too.

The pickup was at Cafe Argana with other people waiting for their pickups as well. Our guide Rachid found us and we headed to the minivan which was quite new. Our trip was booked for Tuesday, so included a stop at the market in Tahnaout . This is a very local market . The tour through the market was a bit rushed rather than at a leisurely pace. There was also a stop at an argan oil "co-operative". Not sure if this was a genuine co-op, the "certificate" was high up on wall and no mention made of certifications/accreditation at any time. This was followed by another stop at a local tourist shop with photo opportunity. Then headed towards the Atlas mountain, hike to a small waterfall followed by lunch at Rachids relatives place here. The tagine was great and the view from terrace gave good view of terrain. We then headed back with another stop for optional camel ride. Some took up the offer. Others, including us, declined as the camels did not look very healthy. They were on a very short lead and were kept on ground which was not turned over, cleaned or freshened up. Overall a good day trip with Rachid, who was very patient and understanding, along with modern transport and safe driver .Rachid always made sure the group hadn't lost anyone during the trip. Very good value compared to others.

We enjoyed a brilliant day out from Marrakech with Jason as our guide. He was excellent from start to finish. A qualified mountain guide from the village of Imlil, he provided a great insight into life in the High Atlas. Expect to walk for a couple of hours through beautiful scenery and picturesque villages. Lunch was delicious at Nasim's cousin's house. We went on a Tuesday, so a stop at the market in Tahnaout was a real bonus - such a different experience from Marrakech. An optional camel ride is offered on the way back to town. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip. The company was very reliable and it's great value too. 5/5.

This was a great day trip well organised with friendly guide. The walk to small waterfall was lovely and highlight was meal in the village house. They cooked a vegetarian tagine just for me and I have to say best food I’d had on my trip to Marrakesh. Thank you.

For us it was a very nice filled day with several highlights and very personal encounters with locals. We have already recommended the tour!

Great tour - excellent local guide who knew his facts and gave authentic insight into life in the area, taken to amazing sights, no pushy selling or extra purchases along the way, modern car and safe driver to transport us. Couldn't have asked for more and all at a stupidly low price!
