Review of a $26 Atlas Mountains day trip from Marrakech with camel riding, Berber villages, hiking, mint tea, and homemade lunch.
“An excellent day trip to explore some villages in the Atlas Mountains. Our guide Lachen was excellent, he translated everything in 3 languages so the whole group got the same information. It was impressive! The hike itself was around 2 hours. There is uphill walking, and also recommend sturdy shoes as there’s a lot of uneven ground on the way down. The included lunch was very tasty. Cannot fault the trip for the price we paid for it. Definitely recommended if you have the time.”

“Having a tea and a lunch in Atlas was absolutely fantastic. We were traveling with Abderriham Didi and Abdul Aziz, our guide and driver, and they were the most excited and caring guys. Organizing was smooth and the trip beautiful. The only weaker point is that we weren’t that excited about the camel ride.”

Review of Marrakech’s Atlas Mountains and 5 Valleys tour, with Berber villages, hiking, meals, transport, price, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“I enjoyed the tour overall; however, it was unnecessarily long and a lot of wasted time in between stops. I think they dragged the tour out too long. The hike portion was entirely too long and there wasn't much to see. The food at the local's home was amazing! One of the best meals while in Marrakech. The tour guide was very friendly, but I felt like he was trying to entertain us the ENTIRE time. At best, this is a 5 hour tour.”
