“Not up to our expectations”
Hi! Unfortunately the tour was not like the description. The guide sent me a message at 20:20 the night before regarding the pick-up. But there was a problem with the WIFI at the hotel so I saw this message just before 9:00. We did not know this place was so we had to get a taxi. The guide, Mustapha, started by excusing his French and said he spoke Franglais. I speak French and English but my friend only French and the both of us sometimes had problems understanding him. He really has to improve both of these languages. This is not presentable. He did not tell us much, mostly when we asked questions. After the hike up to a tiny waterfall, it was lunchtime. We went to a very nice restaurant with great views to the Atlas mountains. The food was good. BUT in the description of this tour it is indicated that we will have lunch in the guide's family home in a small Berber village. I had decided to book this special tour (rather than somebody else's) because of this upcoming experience. After lunch we drove straight to Marrakech. We asked the driver if he could drop us of closer to our hotel - but no he could not because his boss had booked him on another tour in a short time. So I'm sorry to say that this tour was far away from our expectations. And for this price - I'm almost speechless. Some days after this tour, I met some people from my country who had been on similar guided tours for only 20 dollars. But I want to be clear on one thing - both the driver and the guide were extremely nice and helpful. They took very good care of us and all our needs and did everything we asked for. I'm really sorry for this negative review. Best regards, Ásrún Lára

“Amazigh villages among the Atlas Mountains”
Mohamed I. was an excellent guide. He understood what our interests were via our messaging of each other. He and his excellent driver (also Mohamed) gave us a great tour of the valleys. His English was excellent and the information he provided during the trip was what we were looking for. Being in our 70's he understood how far to push the physical part of the trip to ensure enjoyment without overdoing it. Kudos to the Mohameds!

But the main thing is that a different group of people lives here. A group with its own culture, traditions, language and script. And the stories of this culture will surprise you.
