          Excellent day out!
          We really enjoyed our day trip. Jamal was an excellent tour guide and super friendly, helpful and informative. The cooking class was the highlight of the day, and we loved visiting the Atlas Mountains and the desert. Thank you for a great day!

          Atlas cooking class, mountain walk and camel ride
          Had an excellent day visiting various Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains, I got to spend time in his family’s home and prepare food with a traditional Berber family. Our guide Mustapha was really nice and knowledgeable about Berber traditions. We stopped off in so many beautiful photo spots and took a camel ride also. Amazing

          Wonderful Experience and Exceptional Value
          A fantastic day out. Good communication throughout. Outstanding value for money. Mustapha is one of the nicest people we've met and has a passion for sharing his love of the area and Berber life. His whole family was welcoming and it was great to cook with Mustapha's grandmother in their lovely home. We visited genuine Berber villages, well off the tourist route, where we were made equally welcome. Mustapha was an excellent host who went above and beyond what you would expect from a tour guide.

          Amazing experience!!!!!
          I received such a great trip. The value of this trip is amazing. I was picked up from my location and brought back in a comfortable cleanvan that was very spacious. Hassan was such a great host. He was very informative about the history of Marrakech. He is such a great guy. I love to eat and pretty much each trip you do, you will have a tea abs bread break. Toward the end, he brought us to his family's home which they cooked a delicious meal. I really my money's worth. The cost of this trip was very affordable. I honestly think it should be more when you compare it to the rest of the things here.

          An unforgettable insight into a beautiful world.
          What a wonderful way to experience the beauty of the landscape and the hospitality of the extraordinarily friendly people of this special part of the Atlas Mountains. Mustafa Is a kind, thoughtful and informative guide who takes you on a day of magic and total charm. Utterly breathtaking!

          Best tour guide in Marrakech
          Words fail me in writing this review. Mustafa is simply not only the best tour guide one could ask for, but an incredible human being. By the end of the day when it came time to say goodbye, he did so with a big, warm hug like saying goodbye to some old friends. Now to the trip itself - I don’t even know where to begin. While my partner and I opted for a visit to the Anima Garden while the rest of the group stayed for the camel ride, from then on to the Imlil area, Mustafa didn’t cease to amaze us with his knowledge and answered each and every question we had. He is hilarious to say the least and it is impossible not to feel like you’ve known him a long time as he is very warm, friendly and attentive. He is a great guide, knowing to “read” the people he’s with and making sure everyone is comfortable and feeling their best at any given time. During our visit in the Saturday market he made sure to negotiate on our behalf and had our backs when local merchants were too pushy. After an hour and a half hike in Imlil we headed to his house for what will be for a very, very long time THE BEST TAJINE we’ve had! His family is just as warm and welcoming as he is, so rest assured, you will actually feel like home. My partner and I are loner travelers, we find it hard to travel with other people as we have our own particular travel style which is why we avoid groups and tours in general but we took a chance here and it is understatements to say that we regret nothing! It was one of those magnificent, unique experiences that you want to take in and imprint in your heart and memory forever and this was possible only thanks to Mustafa! Thank you for being such an amazing guide and human being!

          Wonderful experience
          There’s a reason Mustapha has a perfect rating, he’s the best in Morocco. There are lots of tours but this one is truly special. Meeting his family in the end for a meal on top of their house, with an amazing view is just incredible. Worth triple what we paid for it!

          Epic views, authentic berber experiences and the best guide one can imagine
          This day trip was one of the most amazing advantures I ever got to experience. Mustapha the guide is a very good guide, due to the fact that he's a local, he speaks good english, he is funny, aswell as enthusiastic about sharing his culture. I'm a tour guide myself and his love for his home that he opens up to the guests surpasses everything I have seen with my collegues in Germany. There is a proper amount of luxury with the bus, yet no lack of adventure, e.g. when exploring the valley with Mustapha. The nature is stunning aswell and you'll see the Atlas mountains out of a way more impressive angle than from Marrakesh downtown. Also don't think you already saw the Alps so you won't be impressed by the Atlas, because that's not how this works. Food was really good, I had my doubts when eating in Marrakesh but here it was all fresh and delecious. We left Mustapha a tip, espacially because the price was from my point of view a lot cheaper than the value of the tour (and not because that was in anyway expected). The guide even helped us check the quality and haggle the prize, when we wanted to buy spices on the local market, which is just one detail how caring he was throughout the day. As you can see I highly recommend to spend this daytrip with Mustapha, because it was more than confincing in every aspect. Thanks for the amazing experience!!

          Wonderful experince !
          Mustapha and this tour was really great ! He is really nice and a fun guide. We learned a lot about the berber and the villages around the moutain. the lunch at the end of the hike at Mustaohas house was the best experice and best food i had. I am vegan and had a hard time finding good food but that was a great meal. and it was so nice being in a local home. The only complaint i have is, when we stopped by the womans coparative for argan oil, they really overcharged us. it was our second day in morroco so we bought a lot of oil thinking they wil give us a decent deal but we later found out that we were boube and triple charged. that was the biggest disappointment. Besides that i highly recommend the trip.

          Wonderful day spent!
          Look for no more and book this experience. We booked this experience on 28th September, and we still talk about it. It was truly perfect. Mustapha picked us up (luxury comfy 6 seater car with AC) with his driver (also funny and lovely person) and first we went for camel ride (40min great experience), then to the High Atlas mountain (beautiful landscapes and hiking) and we had lunch at his house in the Berber village, after we went to Agafay desert for sunset. All the time he provided us with tea, water, orange juice and traditional Berber Tajine and couscous (delicious). It was the best day during our trip in Morocco, we stopped everywhere for pictures (good photogenic spots and he is good at taking your pics) and had tons of fun. Highly recommend!
