Best experience in Morocco, thanks to Driss - 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

Brilliant guide, amazing experience - 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

Beautiful mountains and valleys - 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 :)

The Perfect Introductory Tour to Marrakech - This trip was a wonderful exploration down the path more often traveled. What made it spectacular was our guide Omar Imzilen. When arriving to a new destination he would often stop to explain some history of Marrakech or teach us a few words in different local dialects for the associated regions of Morocco we would visit. This would all happen as we watched the occasional other tours blow past us to the attractions. I found this allowed us to really enjoy understand and reflect on the what makes Marrakech such a fantastic destination. Thank you Omar!

Good visit ! - 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 !
