Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did a 6 day trek to summit Mt Toubkal. Our guide Mohammed and the 3 support men were all wonderful - friendly, knowledgeable, kind and always looking out for us. The food was fabulous. The trek was outstanding. We always felt safe and in good hands.
Then we were driven to the Sahara and spent a night in the desert with Abraham (guide) and Hosain (cook and helper). It was better than I expected, and again we had excellent guiding, food and help. Hassan was very flexible and helpful to meet our plans. Highly recommend Toubkal Ascent.

Four friends went on the 10 day Imperial Cities tour with Toubkal Ascent. We all had a spectacular experience! From top notch accommodation, to excellent guided tours, to prompt and courteous driver, the trip far exceeded our expectations. The van was a comfortable Mercedes Benz. The meals which were included were all delicious and fresh. Hossin our driver was always in touch with us after each excursion to ensure everything went well. I highly recommend this cultural tour in Morroco.

Done 2 day Toubkal trek with guide called Hassan and cook Mohamed .
Very lovely, professional people . Felt very safe as female solo traveller .
Eaten beautiful cooked by Mohamed , breakfast at the base camp , lunches by the river with amazing views , dinner at the bar camp.
Met lovely people from different parts of the world while trekking and at the base camp .
Hike from imlil to the base camp is relatively easy 15km but hot weather can make it a challenging one ( don’t forget the passport / there is a police check before you enter Atlas Mountains ) we started about 10.30am and got to the base camp 4.40pm
Walk from the base camp to summit is steep and challenging with lots of loose rocks but the views are very rewarding . We stared 5am and got uk the summit 7.15am just in time for the sunrise which was out of this world ! ( it was a fast one though ;) )
Loved every minute of my trip and can’t recommend it enough .

We completed the 3 day Mount Toubkal hike from Imlil and had a perfect few days in the Atlas. Our guide, Omar, could not have been better. He was very friendly, helpful and made sure we had an enjoyable time. Our cook, Ibrahim, made the most amazing food and there was always more than enough of it! Hassan has excellent communication and was always happy to help with any questions we had prior to the trip taking place- he even made the effort to meet us for a coffee after our hike and it was great to put a face to his name! Highly recommend the three day route for anyone considering climbing Mt Toubkal as it felt quieter and more scenic. The absolute highlight of our trip - we would love to come back soon!

Me and my wife just had the most amazing experience climbing up mt Toubkal and -like the others who have reviewed- I couldn't be more positive about atlas guided treks!
They picked us up in Marrakech (8 am), took us to Imlil where we got a nice breakfast. Then , our amazing guide AbdulRaheem took us to the refugee at 3100 meters. The trip there was amazing and he was very kind and accommodating of my mediocre level of fitness (by allowing for breaks and walking slowly). We slept at the refuge and woke up at 04:00am to climb to the top. Very tough but amazing views and very worthwhile.
Once again, highly recommended!

I decided to go for a 3 day ascent to allow myself to adapt to an altitude.
Day 1: I was picked up at a hotel in Marrakesh on time and driven to Imlil where I was met by a rep of the company and my first day guide Abdul. Abdul, a very friendly young man, took me to a hotel and after dropping off bags (and having a cuppa), we were off to a nearby peak of 2500m. I loved our very brisk hike as it was a great workout, but we also stopped a few times to enjoy the beauty of the around us and to take pics. Abdul was great at taking best pics and videos. Very instagramable)))... at the end of the walk we were back to Imlil, I had a great lunch (best tagine in my life) at a local restaurant/hotel. It was awesome!
Day 2: in the morning, on time, after having a lovely breakfast I met with another goer and a guide, Hassan. Even though Hassan didn't speak English, his open and warm personality was just fantastic, so we quickly set up great channels of communication. Over the course of 2 days, neither I, nor another goer had any issues with not understanding Hassan... and that even though we didn't speak any one language in common. Hassan took us to a refuge (at 3000m), clearly walking slower than he could have, probably evaluating our fitness level, but also allowing us to stop and rest or to enjoy the scenery. We made to a refuge in a good time, had a dinner and set up for an early night. Refuge was busy, in our room there were 16 tourists in total, so it got quite warm and, in hindsight, sleeping bag was probably not absolutely necessary.
Day 3: we got up at 2:30am and the breakfast was already waiting for us thanks to care of Hassan. We quickly had a bite, packed bags, put crampons on (they were absolutely necessary), got our lights on and stares hiking up to the top of Toubkal. Even though both I and the other goer had a high altitude pills taking with our breakfast, around 1/3 into the hike we both felt light symptoms of the altitude (finger tips got anaemic), but with additional intake of water, the symptom has dissipated. By 6:30 we made to the top, right in time for the sunrise. I cannot describe the feeling, the beauty of early morning mountains... they have to be seen... we spent good 45 minutes enjoying views, taking pictures and videos and then started a descent, by a different route. Hassan offered us to hike on another peak and I was up for it, but as I was a part of the team, I went on with the other hiker's decision. Nevertheless, the climb down was challenging enough on its own, but also very interesting as Hassan told us a few interesting stories while on the way down and even showed us remnants of a helicopter which crashed there many years ago! At some point we had to put crampons back on again as walking down a glacier was challenging. We arrived back to Imlil at around 13:45, had lunch at a small local place, had a few more pics near a waterfall and then we were driven back to Marrakesh.
To summarise, the adventure was worth every penny spent on it. Abdul and, especially, Hassan made it happen. They are my heroes! Thank you guys!!!

Without ibrahim and hassan encouraging and being supportive while climbing mount toubkalI I don’t think I could have made it up.
At first I dint think I could do it because I’m 11 years old but now I’m proud to have done it!

Climbing Toubkal with Hassan and his team was a reassuring and fun experience from when we got picked up at Marrakech airport all the way through to being dropped off again at Marrakech train station for onward exploring.
All of the team were super friendly all the way, helping with some missing kit (head-torches a must!), making sure we got to the summit as a whole family, cooking delicious food at every meal and making sure we enjoyed every moment…even the last push to the summit.
If you want to climb Toubkal or hike in the surrounding mountains then Atlas Guided Treks is your best bet for sure!

Once again the trip Hassan arranged for us was perfect and I have no doubt we will be in touch with him again to arrange another adventure.
Everything felt easy from our intial conversation via email and what's app to our request at the end of our hike for him to arrange for the the bag with our hiking gear to be delivered to the airport, when we fly home, 10 days after we finish our time with his company.
We were picked up from the airport (2 hrs flight delayed) and taken to a comfortable riad in Imihil with pool surrounded by cherry trees in aromatic blossom with a view up to the snow capped peak of Toubkal.
We set off after breakfast to walk to base camp. Then woke early the next morning to climb Toubkal and returned to a comfortable guest house in Aroumd.
Our guides, another Hassan and Ibrahim were friendly, respectful, capable and flexible. They went beyond our expectations to make our time together enjoyable and memorable. On hearing it was my birthday on the way up to base camp Hassan arranged for a cake to be made and delivered (no small feat). It was a joyful surprise to be sung happy birthday in Berber.
I felt very grateful for Ibrahim's generosity lending me his crampons when mine didn't fit and his warmer gloves when my fingers turned blue.
Both Hassan and Ibrahim are knowledgable, discreet and attentive. Without their encouragement our 11 year old daughter would not have made it to the top. We always felt in safe hands and their local reputation was evident by the friendly greetings they received every step of the way.
The food was plentiful and tasty, credit to the travelling chef, and the mule handlers were helpful and kind.
Somehow all of this was provided for less than the cost of the air flights from London.
Thank you Hassan for your grace and hospitality. You create wonderful experiences for so many people. I feel so grateful to have benefitted and look forward to returning, inshallah.

An excellent trip from start to finish - Hassan was responsive and always happy to answer questions in the lead up to my trip; then when I arrived everything ran smoothly.
I summited Toubkal with the awesome Sabir - who looked after me the whole way, without ever being overbearing. He was just lovely and I don’t think I could have made it to the top without him.
Book with these guys. You won’t regret it.
