It was a great guided trip especially the guide Mustafa did a great job and was very attentive to everyone on the tours needs
Amazing tour through the Atlas Mountains. The guide was amazing and so hospitable taking us in to his home to have an authentic Moroccan meal. Would 100% recommend, especially if you are looking for a short break out of the business of Marrakesh
This was absolutely outstanding! Jamal was an excellent guide. He was incredibly nice and provided a very knowledgeable and safe hike around the mountains. The hike provides stunning a views and with fairly manageable climb and moderate (difficulty) decent. The hike to the waterfalls was easier, and also shorter - with a nice opportunity for pictures outside the falls. Jamal, and his wife, provided incredible hospitality, including some lovely tea, as well as a wonderful home-made, traditional Moroccan lunch. I would 100% recommend Jamal and his team for a beautiful tour of the Atlas Mountains.
Our family of five had a superb day in the Atlas Mountains with Jamal, Abdul and the rest of the team at Atlas Mtn Trekking. Superbly organised and efficient, we were collected from our riad in Marrakesh and driven to Imlil where our day hike commenced. Abdul expertly led us up summits, along valley floors, treating us to vistas the entire way. A sumptuous hot lunch was served on a steppe with the snow covered mountains providing a backdrop. We finished the hike with a visit to a waterfall before returning to Imlil and our drive back to Marrakesh. Wonderful day in the mtns and great way to get a taster for that part of Morocco. Highly recommend!
Was great! Jamal was fantastic!! Great hike and learned a lot from Jamal. Definitely would recommend this tour. He went at whatever pace was necessary.
The whole trip was amazing! Yusef, our lovely driver arrived bang on time to collect us from our hotel and we set off out of Marrakech. We had a photo stop en route with gorgeous views of the mountains and a very short stop to see ladies making Argan oil with no pressure to purchase anything. Not long after we had a tea stop and met up with our guide, Rashid. We then set off on an awesome hike through Berber settlements with fabulous views and Rashid was friendly, informative and fun. We had lunch at a Berber house and it was the tastiest tagine we had all week! We can highly recommend this trip in every way and can't wait to return one day for a longer trek!
Jamal was responsive and helpful over email before we booked the trip and helped with all queries we had. During the trip he was brilliant, knowledgable, patient with teenagers and the actual trek was fantastic. The mountains are stunning, it was a real highlight of our trip to Morocco. The lunch was delicious too and his whole family were lovely. We finished with a camel ride which everyone loved :) Highly recommend.
Amazing trip. Organised by Jamal, communication was quick and easy from booking to getting collected right outside our accommodation. We were driven to Imlil by Yousef where we met Jamal and Mohammed who then took us on the hike. Mohammed was friendly and professional, making sure we were happy at all times. Couldn’t recommend more!
