“Thorough, detailed and flexible planning and advice.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2011

We took our time selecting our travel company for our long-thought about trek in the Atlas Mountains. Once we had narrowed down our choices, we found that the advice and itineraries Atlas and Sahara Tours offered were excellent. Mohamed gave us clear routes and details of walking, and was supremely patient and flexible in making the changes and additions - days in Essaouira - we requested as our understanding of the trip developed. Unfortunately domestic events have meant we have to postpone our visit, but we will put Atlas and Sahara Tours at the top of our list if we are able to re-instate our visit in the future. (It's free at the planning stage...)
oin the future.

“I really enjoyed our guides kindness, particularly because he was fasting during Ramadan!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011

Atlas and Sahara Tours are a very professional and kind company. I've gone on two trips with them, and have friends who have gone with them many times as well. Living in Casablanca, I really appreciate their honesty!

“A pleasant afternoon in the Atlas Mountains”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience walking in the Atlas Mountains with the Atlas and Sahara Tours company. The transport to and from the location went smoothly. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and we took a scenic route across some scree slopes and through some Berber villages. The views were beautiful, the level of walking was just right (not too difficult, but still some good hills) and we were welcomed back to the centre with a very tasty tagine. A ll in all a very pleasant afternoon.

“Wonderful vacation with Atlas and Sahara Tours”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011

Our family of 5 recently vacationed in Morocco and here is our advice: go with Atlas and Sahara Tours. We were treated both as treasured guests and as family for the entire experience. We planned it ahead of time with Mohamed by email who always responded the same day or the next morning. He understood that we wanted a vigorous trip with nice accommodations and planned it perfectly. The airlines lost two of our bags. No problem. We made a detour to the Moroccan equivalent of Walmart and replaced what we needed. On the way to our hotel in the mountains, we passed a bazaar in progress. With great cheer, we made the unexpected stop and enjoyed the food, crafts, color and personalities and then returned to the comfortable van and moved forward. The Inn at Dar Imlil was not full and our accommodations were upgraded at no cost. The rooms were palatial and the views of the valley and mountains gorgeous. The stars at night were themselves worth the price of the trip. We hiked for two days on wonderful trails through terrific scenery and mountain villages with curious children who loved their instant pictures on the iPhone camera. The guide, lunch and lunch spots were excellent. But the unanticipated problems brought out the best in Mohamed. On one day, my wife developed blisters and Mohamed arranged for a respite donkey ride to allow her to continue. We were running late and Mohamed was in touch with the guide by cell phone, arranged for a shorter route down and picked us up by van to get us back to the hotel for a hot shower and delicious dinner. Mohamed was a good friend who made sure that the trip worked for us and we will always be very grateful.

“Toudaoui Brahim & Mohamed Atlas mountain tours were great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2010

I wanted to do some trekking in the Atlas mountains to see some different scenery and the local villages and not feel like I was just walking a tourist route. This tour company delivered. The guide and cook were very friendly, funny and knew a lot about the region as they came from local villages. They were very professional and spoke English and French (as well as several other languages) at a good level.

When comparing tours I found that this one was cheaper than others and I was unsure why. I still am. The tour was taylored to the time we wanted and the number of people in our trip, and was organised very well. We were collected by taxi in Marrakech and driven to our starting point.

Also the food was amazing.

I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone thinking of taking a trek in the Atlas mountains.
