Yousef was such a lovely helpful and kind guide. Having been born in Imlil and with family still residing there - you couldn’t ask for a better guide with local knowledge, a huge thirst for travel, hiking and passion for his local area that he is keen to share. Our hike into the lower mountain region followed by lunch hosted by a local Berber family was so special and such an insight into life in the region. We are keen to return to hikes higher into the mountains, skiing and trips to the Saraha. It was the perfect anecdote to the crazy manic Marrakesh city Medina mayhem. Couldn’t recommend more. Especially if you like camels.

The tour was perfect. We get lots of information about the culture, the camels, the berber families and all aroud the places. The camel riding was the best, but the view and the meals was also the best. Thanks alot to our driver and our tour guide, Abdul and Youssef.

Yousef was an excellent guide, very kind and caring. As a solo traveller he ensured I was OK the entire day, offering that I sit up front in the van and making sure I had my own tagine to eat for lunch. We had a great hike and Yousef guided us well with a lot of interesting information about the region. The driver was also really lovely and smiley and kind. The length of the day out was just right, with an early start and enough time to get back for 6pm for other evening events. I would highly recommend this day out to everyone and highly recommend both Yousef and Elias as guides.

Ali and Abdullatif were amazing guides. Ali helped all of us during the hike when walking through certain areas and kept stopping for us to catch our breath. He explained everything very well and was kind and helpful throughout the whole experience. He also kept asking if we were okay throughout and if we needed anything. Thank you both for such an incredible experience. I would recommend an experience with them.

We truly had the most amazing day I cannot reccomend enough! Our tour guide Yousseff was amazing, so friendly and taught us so much about the culture. we started off the day in reverse due to the rain, with our camel ride which was super fun and we got to dress up in the traditional outfits. We also stopped for plenty of photo stops where we were able to take in the incredible views, before stopping for breakfast in a local village, and getting to see the argan oil process and try some out! Our lunch in the berber village was delicious and finished off with a walk to a beautiful waterfall with mountain views. i honestly cannot reccomend this excursion enough and it absoloutely made our trip to Morrocco. The value for money is amazing and we were pleassntly surprised with how much we were able to do and see in one day. Big thank you to Yousseff for making our trip so enojoyable!

Youssef and Abdul were great! Youssef was very friendly and entertaining. Abdul handled the city traffic like a champ. Great value for the money! Camel ride was a bit rough as an animal activist but also we booked the trip for that specific feature. So our fault.

It was an amazing lifetime experience. The whole day was packed with amazing activities. The driver and our guide, Redone, were both very friendly. Redone is very knowledgeable and a professional guide. We were very lucky to have him as our tour guide. He made sure everyone was safe-it is a nice feeling to be in such good hands. This trip is worth every penny.

It was my favorite experience when in Marrakech. To be honest, the desert wasn't too much... but the trip for the villages was awesome. The food was also quite good and the Atlas Mountains were impressing. Last but not least, the guide was kind and friendly

We really recommend this tour to get to know truly the moroccon culture with a native guide. We definitely had the best meal of our stay during the tour in the Berber house where this family welcomed us warmly and cooked for the group. They were very nice to welcome my request to have a vegetarian meal and it was amazing. Everything was excellent but what made it so perfect was with no doubt our amazing guides Youssef and Mostapha. These young guys are passionate about their job, available for the many questions we had, accommodating and very nice. Really recommended!

So so amazing!! Went to all the local places that we wouldve otherwise never experienced. Youssef was AMAZING! So courteous and interactive with the tour. If you are to do 1 tour here, I recommend this one. We ranged from camel riding in the desert, to waterfalls, to local markets. So awesome!
