An unforgettable getaway in the heart of the Atlas Mountains! We had an exceptional experience with colleagues and employees of the Enterprise, choosing Adventure Masters as our partner for this adventure. The vehicle was clean, modern and very comfortable, which made the ride very pleasant. Our driver, Badr, impressed us with his wealth of knowledge about the area, its inhabitants, medicinal plants and local animals – a true enthusiast! Lunch was a pure treat: a tagine cooked over a wood fire and a handmade couscous – a real moment of happiness that makes you forget any fatigue. Everything was well organized and perfectly orchestrated. A big thank you to Adventure Masters, and a special thank you to Badr for a memorable day. -

Unforgettable day trip to the Atlas Mountains

My husband and I had a great experience with Adventure Masters during our day trip to the Atlas Mountains of Marrakech. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and we were spoiled with breathtaking views and incredible scenery. The trip was pleasant, and the guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting insights into the culture and history of the region. Although we are currently in Germany, we still can’t stop talking about this incredible experience. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of the Atlas Mountains – it was truly unforgettable!

Perfect.

Punctual pick-up at the hotel by Sheriff. With a perfect knowledge of the area, Sheriff stopped us in strategic places for a camel ride, booked us a guide for a walk to the waterfalls and advised us a restaurant. Really everything was perfect and well framed.

A magnificent excursion with an exemplary, caring, caring and professional escort driver

Booked by our riad Les Borjs de la Kasbah for a day trip to the Ourika Valley, we highly appreciated the services of Sheriff, our driver who accompanied us with kindness and kindness towards our young children and ourselves, with a very great professionalism, remarkable attention to our expectations with a kindness and unparalleled discretion. Flawless and exemplary accompanying Service. Safe and smooth driving in a very comfortable Mercedes Vito shuttle, in excellent condition and very clean. Wise advice and precise and exciting information about Marrakech, the road to the Ourika Valley and the Atlas Mountains. Rich information also about the life of Berbers in the Atlas, its peoples and traditions. Even our children 8-10 years old lived with curiosity and keen interest our excursion. Chérif has been able to seduce and interest them with clear and precise information for each of us. At our request, exciting stops on the Atlas route to learn about Berber life and encourage them. Little gifts and thoughtful gestures from Chérif towards our children (stones, pottery experience, snack, photos...) We have established a relationship of trust with Chérif. He also booked us the services of an excellent mountain guide graduated for a sports and cultural trek to the successive Ourika waterfalls, guide who took care of our 8 year old son by carrying him on his back during the difficult passages during the descent. We very much appreciated Chérif volunteering to ensure our transfer from our riad in the Medina, to our second accommodation at Oasis Lodges. Cherif is certainly a great professional accompaniment in excursions, helpful, caring, attentive and available. A person of great human qualities. Too bad our stay was not longer to benefit again from the valuable services of Chérif to visit Essaouira and its region or for a second excursion of a few days. Next time, no doubt. We highly recommend the "Premium" services of Chérif.

Exemplary Transportation Service

Booked by our riad, we used the services of Sheriff our driver for this day in the Ourika Valley, day rich in information, visit a Berber house, lunch by the river, walk in the mountains to the waterfalls. Trust was built up immediately with Chérif so we also used his chauffeur services the rest of our stay, to transport us in Marrakech between 2 restaurants and visits. Mercedes vehicle in very good condition. Very helpful, speaking very good French, attentive, you feel the tourism professional in the right sense of the word! Chérif has done my wife great favors to find her decoration! Thank you Chérif you made our stay very pleasant and reassuring too. I recommend it for all stays in Marrakech.

Fantastic alternating tour

Picked up neatly on time. The boss was our driver and the new English speaking guide Mbarek immediately started talking enthusiastically about the old city of Marrakesh, the rich history of Morocco and the beautiful nature of the Atlas Mountains. The higlights of the day were interesting: a glimpse into the life of a berber family, the making and tasting of Argan oil and an extensive lunch with beautiful views. We drove past markets and mountain peaks, we saw beautiful colors. Real value for money!
