Perfect way to explore desert, waterfall and have a taste of camel riding.

Runa_K, Dec 2023

This trip is excellent value for money. The hotel offered a very similar trip for triple the price each. Our guide Yaseen contacted us with times of pick up, the pick up was earlier but there was a lot to cover. Yaseen was very informative and really pleasant. He ensured we all were briefed well and did not rush any part of the excursion. I would suggest that it is made clear that we stop for lunch and this is an additional cost so people know to take cash with them for lunch and to buy some drinks at the waterfall. Overall it was a perfect day, would definitely recommend.

Had the best time, totally awesome

LISETTE_B, Nov 2023

We , a family of 4 had the best day with Youssef K. He was very informative and funny and made sure everyone was comfortable. There was absolutely no pressure into buying things on the way and there was no rush whatsoever. Causing us to be back at 20.00! Exhausted but with great memories made. I would recommend this tour without hesitation to everyone. We also had a really nice international group ( this tour takes about 18?) on the ( clean and comfortable) bus. A very nice lunch with fantastic views. Thank you and warm regards from the Brugman family.

The perfect trip

Tanja_A, Nov 2023

It was just perfect, from the morning pick up from hotel in climatize van, going to very clean and professional production of argan oil with nice berber breakfast, to climing up near waterfall in Atlas, to the tastiest tangine i ve tried while in Marrahech, to Agafay desert and riding the sweetest camels with 2 baby camels running around us all the time. All trip was lead by the best guide Youssef Kamchad, who was so kind, trying to do what ever request we had, to assist us in every step of the way, took pictures and videos of us and did just everything right. Thank you for this oportunity to say good words about this trip because few days ago i had disapoiting expirience with other agency. Hope many will recognise your work and effort, many blessings upon you 🙏🙌🥰

Excellent trip

Igor_T, Nov 2023

Our trip to Imlil was amaizing. Guid Joussef Kamchad was fantastyic. Highly recomended. Igor from Croatia

My overall experience was not great.

Durhan_O, Jul 2023

There is nothing to be excited about this tour to be honest and the tour description is absolutely wrong and misleading.They will come and pick you up the wrong time at your hotel before you even get your hotel breakfast and they claim they offer breakfast and that is absolutely misleading. The breakfast they offer is a place where they sell fake organ oils and they give you a tea and a hard uneatable piece of bread and that is what they call “breakfast “ The intended purpose of this so called breakfast and the Berber house is to sell fake products to unsuspecting tourists and they overcharge you these fake organ oils. I made a mistake of buying these fake products but I guess I learned my lessons.I want to warn future Morocco tourists to be mindful of these scammers and there are many type of scammers in Morocco and you can google it yourself.. Morocco is a beautiful country but you have to be very careful about who you are dealing with and everyone is hustling and wants to sell something to you. Restaurants will overcharge and cheat you if they suspect that you are tourist and check your credit or debit card transaction for any suspicious activities because they will use your card information to ring up additional charges without your knowledge so you have be very careful about each transaction you make in Morocco. Many of the tour companies operate on commission and their goal is to take you to places where they have to sell stuff to you and other unnecessary BS. Just use common sense and don’t let anyone pressure you to buy anything .

Hassan was a fantastic...

Donna_H, Jun 2023

Hassan was a fantastic guide very knowledgeable about the area, driver was great to, lunch fantastic, hike to the waterfall not for the inactive and you definitely need sensible footwear, camel riding short but tbh that’s more than enough for it, highly recommended thanks Hassan

Excellent value for money

Monica_D, Jun 2023

We had a fabulous day, enjoyed every minute of it, from the Berbère village, to the Atlas mountains and the camel ride. Our guide was great. The only negative was that at the back of the bus we could hardly hear him, it would be useful to provide him with a microphone.

Worthy

Luisa_L, May 2023

Very nice guide. Very worthy for the price paid. Be aware that it’s a rocky desert. Very interesting for those with short therm stays since the sand deserts are around 8-9 hours from Marrakesh.

Highly recommend

Beata_S, Apr 2023

Yousseff was a very kind guide. Was helping people not even from our group. Speaking great English and very nice person. Great trip. You can see nature of Morocco.

The best tour guide

Ann_G, Apr 2023

Hazma, our tour guide was the best! It wasn’t a hard hike to waterfall but I needed some support. As picture shows, he held my hand whenever I was nervous. He was also going to the front and back of line keeping everyone going. The views were great and the lunch was excellent - note we had to pay for lunch but not expensive and very good. Camel ride was short but we had great fun! Thank you again…

Great day out.

wesley_N, Apr 2023

We loved the camel ride and the views in the Mountains were amazing. Ibrahim the tour guide was ace.

Nice experience, riding...

LIVIO_M, Feb 2023

Nice experience, riding camels, hiking and eating good food. Mohammed (Potato), our guide, and Brahim, the driver, were very nice and supportive. Unfortunately we bought from Viator a tour in Italian and we got one in English.... not fair! However we enjoyed the day.

A lovely experience for a small cost

Renato_R, Feb 2023

For a small price, this was indeed a good experience. I had the opportunity to see the Atlas, wonderful with all rhe snow, and Agafay desert, as some berber villages and landscapes. Ibrahim was a very nice and lovely guide and helped the group enjoy the trip. We had the opportunity to have mint tea several times during the trip, which was great in the cold weather.

Amazing day tour

JooMaria_P, Feb 2023

Very good day tour. Hassan is an excellent guide. The day went very well. Hassan is amazing, very attentive and helpful, he helped us with the trek through the mountains. he took us to know his origins (Berbere) and took us to drink tea after lunch at his house (it was great). lunch was at a local traditional food restaurant (the menu costs 70DH) and the food was delicious (Tagine). Hassan was great and was always attentive to our needs, the camel ride was also great fun. The driver was very safe driving and the van was comfortable. I recommend this tour.

Outstanding trip. Great value for money.

sohail_s, Jan 2023

Great trip. Best value for money for the whole family. Great sites and good experience. The guide Ismail was good and helpful. The only negative bit is the lunch when they don’t give u any option. It’s 70 dha and either u eat or leave it. The quality of the food is really bad so for the family of 4 I paid 280 dha or 7 euro each. It’s fix menu and u get one piece of chicken with some vegetables. Breakfast was included in our trip but good that we did our breakfast in hotel as they give bread and olive oil with tea for breakfast. Overall trip experience was great.

Great day trip to see a lot in one day!

Nicole_M, Oct 2022

Great trip with great staff and efficient timings! We were picked up on time from our Riad and the day went smoothly. Hamza, our tour guide, was great. He made us laugh and communicated well with us throughout the day, making an effort to talk to and engage each of us. He also helped my mum walk up the steep path up to Imlil waterfalls! Would highly recommend the trip!

Absolutely recommend!

Flor_S, Dec 2019

Super Tagesausflug……

Peter_L, Mar 2024

Top Preis- Leistung, wir haben viel gesehen und erlebt. Der Ausflug ist sein Geld Wert und wir waren 10 Std. Unterwegs.

Dia muito bem passado

Stephan_W, Nov 2023

Preço/qualidade muito boa. O guia (Youssef Boura) muito simpático e explicou bem as coisas e os planos díarios

Sehr empfehlenswert

Sarah_A, Apr 2023

Ein sehr schöner Tagesausflug! Es war zwar etwas anstrengend zu den Wasserfällen zu kommen, aber es hat sich gelohnt. Das Essen war super lecker und die Aussicht auf die Berge einfach traumhaft. Unser Tourguide Imrane war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich kann die Tour zu 100% weiterempfehlen 🙂
