Excellent day trip. Prepare to learn a lot, walk a lot, enjoy a lot- from visits to argon cottage industry to visits to waterfalls. All with fresh Atlas Mountains air and views. As seniors (71 and 69) the first part of the hike was steep, but mules were right there to take us up for a small fee (well worth it). The rest of the walk was doable if you take your time and stop for short rests. The tagine lunch at the end of the hike makes it very worth we’ll. It was Saturday so we visited the local weekly market. Camel rods were enjoyed by all who participated. A great day which left us tired but with a feeling of acomplishment. Our favorite activity in our entire stay in the Marrekesh area! You won’t find a better tour guide, guardian angel and his minibus driver.

Trek Atlas created a 7 day tour for my husband and I. And we can’t wait to return to tour with them again! Our guides, Hassan and Ahmed were fun to be with and excellent at what they do. Both guides had unusual situations that arose and they handled them extremely well! Our driver Salh who was with us in the desert is a super fun guy and an amazing driver. We just happened to be there when a flash flood occurred and his expertise turned something that could have been a bad experience into a fun adventure that has become one of our most favorite adventures to share with friends. We highly recommend this company who have become our new friends.

My sister and I have done our share of traveling and have never experienced such a unique full day trip like this one in Morocco!!Carefully organized and planned out by Astara tours;specifically extremely friendly, Omar's family business, while given to us BY FAR THE BEST TOUR GUIDE WE COULD HAVE EVER HAD TO MAKE US FEEL SAFE, COMFORTABLE AND AT HOME AT ALL TIMES: NASSIM YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS JOB!! ???????????????? Our excursion had a little bit of everything, a visit to a souk (as the locals call their markets)on our way to the Argan oil ladies cooperation (where we got lucky and had a hands on experience on how the authentic argan oil is made), while many stops were handly picked out by Nassim and made in order for us to take unique pictures. The views were incredibly picteresque anywhere we passed by..hiked through, stopped and gazed at! ????????Our walk in the Atlas mountains was amazingly peaceful and refreshing and Nassim made sure we felt safe and not too exhausted as to manage the entire route. What is more, we later got the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit a Berber village and get introduced to Nassim's beautuful heritage; while having homemade tajines, bread, fruit and tea in his family's house, who were all extremely friendly and welcoming to us and made us feel at home. Next stop we had the chance to ride camels, which was a true adventure (fun and funny)!! ????????????Nevertheless, we could not have asked for a better way to end our day trip than by our off road ride to the wonderful Agafay desert (Mustafa our driver was well-experienced and we felt at ease and highly enjoyed it) where thanks to Nassim and Mustafa we were able to enjoy the sunset and full moon and capture breathtaking and fun pictures by our talented guide!! ????????????????Lastly, we drank our last cup of tea with homemade Berber biscuits under a tent in the Agafay while not being able to get enough of the beautiful full moon in front of us. I hope to have pursued more poeple to engage in on this unique experience even though after having gone you will understand words cannot do it justice!! My sister and I are still in AWE!! Special shout out to Nassim; our humble, kind, sweet, informative, with a great sense of humor,and very good use of English (rare to find)tour guide who played key role in making this journey memorable to us and wanting to do it over and over again!!! Best regards!!!

Mohamed and the team went above and beyond to meet my expectations from the start of the tour. And i just would like to express my sincere gratitude especially as a solo female traveler, I was made to feel safe and comfortable. This was the best part of my trip to Morocco. The Imlil Valley - by far one of the most spectacular adventures and definitely a "bucket list/vision board"check!!! Mohamed and our mountain guide were the best, hope to see you all again soon. God Bless. Inshallah.

All we can say is Thankyou to Rachid and his driver for a great day in the mountains and desert. Both guys went above and beyond to make this an extremely memorable and lovely trip. Rachid even brought us to his Aunt’s house within the mountain region where she prepared as delicious 3 course meal for our lunch and even baked a birthday cake for me as it was a birthday trip organised by wife. Truly excellent service and couldn’t recommend Rachid and his driver enough. Thank you again!

Hello my friends. I would like to tell you about a tour that I took in one of the regions of southern Morocco. We started from the imlil region, in the areas of Asni, going to Dades, passing by Tishka. On the second day, we set out from Dades to Merzouga, an area known for sandy skiing and mystical tents. On the second day, we returned to the city of Ouarzazate, a city known for its Kasbah and high oases. And then to the city of Marrakech, which is known for its square and entertainment. This tour took us on the 30th to the 2nd of this month with the dearest person and folded it, which carries the name (Al-Hussein, the driver of the car that accompanies us and they are a man of service.
