A great experience to travel through the High Mountains Tikcha, see these emblematic sites of Morocco. Our guide was wonderful. Very friendly, spacious and confident that our experience there was well planned so that we can make the most of our day. Loved all the imperial cities, but it is essential to see the barbarian life and the amazing landscapes.

This is one of the best things I've ever done on holiday, and cannot praise Mohamed enough. The day was carefully structured and along with the waterfalls the walking in the mountains, and the drive there, was spectacular. We went on a Saturday which meant we could also visit the Berber weekly market. To be able to walk off the mountains and into Mohamed's family home for tagine was a privilege and something I will never forget. A thousand thank yous and we will return, inshallah.

It's a business and commercial....too many people....did not work for me. Family of 5 and the wrong price. The Camel ride was fun and our guide made the trip memorable. This is not the experience we have on a daily basis. I am not sure how well these animals are treated - which made me feel uncomfortable. The Quad bikes were good - but be aware there are no sand dunes- please see Sahara desert for more authentic scenery. There were no bonfires as in the photos - there could have been, but no one lit them. There was no sun set view as we were told there would be. My wifes Henna experience was disappointing. The evening dinner was drawn out over 3.5 hours - impersonal - no host or hostess during the evening dinner - tourist trap - there was music and dancing, but was short of atmosphere. No dessert either. One more thing - on top of the high price - you pay extra for the drinks...too much. We experienced wonderful hosting elsewhere in Marrakech and had a great vacation - Marrakech and the people are lovely - but am uncomfortable recommending this part.

We had a wonderful day! Using a private tour - really just your group - makes sense, especially if you’re a family with young kids. We had total freedom to take a break, change our itinerary, take our lunch at leisure. Badre, our guide, was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He arranged for the guide to take us on the hike and even lent us cash, when we fell short (for lunch, at the village) Thanks!

For all those who haven’t got sufficient time in Morocco for a Sahara desert tour, all the way south then the Agafay desert is the best thing to do instead, the Agafay desert is not a Sand desert – but more sandstone and earthen plateau, traditional mud-built villages, dusty riverbeds are interspersed with spectacular sumptuous pasture and vegetation in springtime. There we can sample a tea with the locals or experience trekking by camel. our itinerary takes us up into the Atlas Mountains. Kik Plateau is 1800 meters high and offers spectacular 360 degrees views and, in the spring, a marvellous spread of alpine flowers.

This is one of the most picturesque drives where the road follows the rushing Ourika River, which although the levels carry, never runs dry and provides wonderful whitewater rafting in the summer months. Somewhere in the valley we will have a mint tea pause by the mountain stream, before heading off-road on the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. We will take that route at leisurely pace, and if happen to be a day where it is local berber market in one of the villages, we would stop to visit it. We will drive trough villages and will able to stop whenever you want for photos or to get information. Enjoy this full-day guided Valley's tour with delicious full lunch and camel ride included!
