Omar and Mohammed were great guides, and we had a jam-packed day seeing lots of sights and learning about Berber culture and history. Omar was great at explaining things, and the welcome at his family home was amazing with delicious food that was really appreciated. We had a great time, it was excellent value for money!
II still think about this experience and how perfect it was. Omar was our guide, and he was extremely thoughtful, always making sure everyone on the tour was comfortable and well looked after. There was water available on the bus, which was very much appreciated. Our bus driver, Hussin, was wonderful as well. The lunch was delicious, and the hospitality from everyone involved was a delight to experience. The group was the perfect size, which made the day even more enjoyable. It was truly one of the best days of my life.
Fantastic experience, we visited the local market as it was Saturday, this was for locals but we felt really safe with Lohcen. we loved walking around the villages seeing how the locals lived and hearing the stories from Lahcen, we were made to feel very welcome. We were served up a delicious lunch, these lovely people still feed us with a smile on her face, even though they were practising Ramadan.
My partner and I did this tour at the beginning of January, and we had a lovely day. The guide Omar was absolutely brilliant, gave us a lot of interesting information and facts all throughtout the tour. The food was amazing, the treatmen was great as well, and the activities were a lot of fun and totally worth it! We recommend it to everybody who's reading this!
We had a wonderful day on this experience. Our guide Omar and the driver were both excellent. The visit to the Argan oil cooperative was very educational learning about that and the olive oil press. We did not go on the trek due to an injury but Omar and the driver organised a car to take us to the eco lodge for our lunch. The track has hair raising but we got there. The meal and the company were very good. We would recommend this trip. Omar and the driver were both great.
If you enjoy a walk and want to get a flavour of rural life in Morocco, then I would definitely recommend this tour. The itinerary is varied, the guide, Lahcen, was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The minibus was extremely comfortable and the driver was excellent. We had a great day.
This was hands down the best tour we had in Marrakech. Nezha was the best guide, she explained everything in such an easy way and after a super fun tour they also welcomed in their house to have a wonderful lunch. I highly recommend booking a tour with this incredible family if you want to have a real local experience!!
Make sure you bring hiking boots It was an amazing trip our guide Husslef was very knowledgeable and very helpful We were made very welcome in his home and felt very safe throughout the trip
More than a trip, Hassan provided us with his attention, refined humor, knowledge and deep love of his culture, an unforgettable immersive experience in Berber culture. Thank you very much. We'll be back.
We had a 5 star experience with the tour guide Hassan. The cart went to pick us up at a meeting point very close to our Riad. Arriving at the place where the camels are, they dressed us in the traditional clothes and put the scarf on our heads. Riding a camel was a very good experience, and we still took a lot of photos. Then they gave the tea and a brief explanation about the history and traditions of this people. We went to a female cooperative where we were taught how to make cosmetics and argon products, and they gave us tea and bread with different sauces. We were completely immersed in their culture. We experienced the reality of Moroccan markets and tried various natural products. Finally, we took a walk through the various villages of Mount Atlas. We had lunch at Hassan's aunt's house, where we ate fantastic food. The whole walk had a spectacular view. It was an unforgettable experience, full of moments of learning and fun. Our guide, Hassan, spoke many languages and was very cult about Morocco's culture and history.
