Great time in a beautiful scenery - We went to Atlas Mountain & Agafay desert with Jamal (out guide). We definitely can recommend this trip and Jamal as a guide. We spent lively time in a small group (only 6 people). We weren’t in hurry and we could really enjoy our time in beautiful scenery. Iwona and Pawel with kids.

Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert was absolutely fantastic! - Our day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert was absolutely fantastic! Abdulaziz and Mohamed made it unforgettable. Abdulaziz, our guide, took us beyond the usual tourist spots, showing us the beauty of Imlil, his hometown. It felt like exploring with a friend! Lunch at his aunt's house was a delightful touch, truly embracing Moroccan hospitality. And let's talk about Mohamed, our driver – he navigated those mountain roads expertly. The vehicle was not just comfortable, but also spotless. It was a smooth ride, allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The best part? Everything was perfectly paced! We never felt rushed, yet we covered so much. Kudos to Abdulaziz and Mohammad for making our day trip a highlight of our time in Marrakech. Highly recommended for an authentic and enriching experience! I must also commend the company's support – incredibly accommodating! When we had a few questions and needed assistance, they were prompt and helpful. It added an extra layer of comfort to the whole experience. With such a seamless and enjoyable day trip, we're definitely planning to book with them again in the future. It's reassuring to find a company that not only delivers an exceptional adventure but also provides excellent customer support. Can't wait for the next journey with them!

Excellent day trip to ride camels, see the Atlas Mountains and probably the best Moroccan meal you’ll have! - Overall, our experience with Ibrahim was excellent and a really great value! We ended up doing the camel ride earlier in the day, since it was the hottest day on record in a while. Perhaps the biggest highlight of the tour was the traditional Moroccan feast we had at Ibrahim‘s home in Imlil up near the Atlas Mountains. After the meal, we hiked off the food to a up the mountain to see the waterfall. We were dropped off near our hotel at the end of the day. We were with our college bound twins and we all agree that it was one of the best day trips we took across our entire trip across Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience - We had a great day using these guys for exploring the Atlas mountains and a few villages along, finished in the desert near Afgay with a camel ride followed by a delicious tea in a beautiful olives garden. Everything went perfect, pick up was on time, driving was safe and not rushed, our guide Omar Imzilen was very helpful and funny aswell, he gave us a complete guide on the Morroco hiatory and the barbers ' way of life. Oh, not to mention that the food with his family which was included in the price was delicious, couscous and tagine were the best we had in Marrakesh so far, with home grown organic vegetables and chicken. We had a perfect start on our holiday tha ks to Atlas Mountains Day Tour, I highly recommend this company. Many thanks guys, you're doing an amazing job!
