They didn't show up and didn't respond to our messages. Treks-All-Morroco is to be avoided. We're at all Saints' Day and there are no reservations possible.
This was the most incredible experience, all thanks to Driss! He was such a knowledgeable guide, and he was very friendly and checked in on us frequently throughout our hike. The waterfalls were breathtaking, and we even got to dip our toes in the fresh springs. We had mint tea in a traditional Berber household, which was a special treat. 10/10 experience and highly recommend for anyone visiting the Atlas Mountains. Thank you Driss x
Driss was a brilliant guide - knowledgeable, friendly and really considerate to accommodate some of the less fit and mobile members of our group, even offering to carry their baggage. I’d recommend taking a trip with Driss to anyone who wants to really enjoy the magic of the mountains
Driss is an excellent guide and host - he knows his stuff perfectly and led us to the most impressive places and photospots
We appreciated the advice of guide Youssef Kamchad who was very warm and happy to share information about his region with us. We really liked the lunch meal with a view of the Atlas. We would have preferred to walk a little more. The visit to the argan cooperative and a typical house was informative. THANKS !
My review is of my trip on the 7 September which was truly memorable. Heart felt wishes and prayers goes out to those who have been affected by the earthquake and suffered loss. I really hope the area recovers very soon and excursions can take place, as you must visit here if its possible. Transport Picked up by Khalid. He was from imlli Valley so he knew the roads which have hairpin bends like the back of his hand- thankfully! He was very informative and happy to answer any questions or being accommodating to specific needs. Excursion The Atlas mountains is a few hours away. We drove through the mountains and first stopped in a rural area where the ladies extract argan oil . I'd seen this already on a couple of excursions, but the ladies here had a certain vibe about them. We were offered mint tea, sampled the products, dressed up , and clapped to the drums. Next up a stop by the hillside shop and view to see one of the old settlements in a valley from a distance. A place where Jewish settlers escaped to sanctuary. Then onto the waterfalls. You need to hike here, and whilst there's some shade, it can be challenging for some. Its rewarding in the end. After this we had lunch, a delicious meal at a family guest house. We then drove along to the road to another rural spot for a camel ride. Dressing up before we did so. Such a great trip & happy memories made. Thank you :)
Really friendly people and very helpful. Ibrahim, the mountain guide was really exceptional and looked after us so well when we climbed Toubkal. The hotel is very clean and well kept. Food is good.
It was fine trip and hostel. Driss is good guide and place is extra. Exelent views and great montaż się behind the window
Amazing trip close to nature insiste thé Atlas. Driss way also able to bring us for a ride inside the mountains… we would loved to stay longer.
The town and the atlas were very beautiful. The guesthouse is well located and perfect for sunrises. Family owned, hospitality is a core concept here. The views were amazing ! Food was good. Driss is a well known guide to toubkal and speaks well english. He never complained about us taking too many pictures :) Enjoy !
